Model
VAK
If
you have difficulty learning and tend to become stressed out in
learning situations, the problem most likely isn't you. It's probably
the way you're being taught.
Most
teaching methods are based on mental exercises, yet most people
learn through use of their senses. The things you've learned the
easiest and have retained the longest were things you learned by
using one or more of your senses. For example:
- you
learned to read by using your senses of sight and hearing. As
you looked at words in a book or on a blackboard, you also
heard them as your teacher spoke them.
- you
learned how to play sports using your senses of sight, hearing,
and touch/feel. You watched as others played the sport,
heard instructions from either a coach or a friend, and
then felt what it was like to play the sport.
Most
of your learning utilizes three main senses: sight, hearing, and
touch. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) has created a model of
these three sensory learning methods and has named their model VAK:
Visual
Auditory
Kinesthetic
Visual
people learn best by seeing. They're the ones who read the instructions
and actually understand them.
Auditory
people learn most effectively by hearing. You just tell them
how something works and they get it.
Kinesthetic
people learn best by doing. They're the real hands-on types.
How
does this look in real life? Let's use an example of learning how
to assemble some knock-down bookshelves - the type you can buy at
Ikea.
The
Visual person would first use their predominant learning sense
and would read the instructions - from beginning to end. Then they
would begin to assemble the bookcases, using their Kinesthetic learning
sense.
The
Auditory person might use their predominant learning sense by
having the Visual person read the instructions to them. Then they'd
engage both their Visual and Kinesthetic learning senses to begin
putting the pieces of the bookcases together.
The
Kinesthetic person would probably toss the instructions aside
and immediately begin to assemble the bookcases, learning as they
build them.
How
do you know if you're a Visual, Auditory, or Kinesthetic learner?
There's a very simple method you can use to find out. Pay attention
to the words and phrases that you habitually use. Your language
reflects the way you think.
Visual
people say things like:
- I
see what you mean.
- Looks
good to me.
- Clearly
you misunderstood me.
Auditory
people use phrases like:
- I
can't tell from here.
- That
rings a bell.
- It
sounds about right.
Kinesthetic
people might say:
- It
just feels right.
- I'm
coming to grips with it.
- I
can't get my arms around it.
The
next time you're in a learning situation and begin to feel stress
or frustration with the process, pay attention to how you're being
taught. Then see if you can tell how you might adapt
so that you can come to grips with the teaching method.

Life
Purpose Coaching
Life
Purpose Coaching is a co-creative process in which you're supported
in remembering the work you desired to do in order to be of the
greatest service to others.
You
may feel stuck, frustrated, dissatisfied, bored, or just plain gritchy.
These are all nudges from your inner self telling you that you're
on the wrong path.
You
may even be close to living your Life Purpose, but still feel there's
something that's just not quite right or isn't enough.
When
you're on your right path and living your Life Purpose, you feel
a satisfaction that's soul deep.
If
you're absolutely ready to know your Life Purpose and to
begin living it, call me at 253.853.4033 (my home office) or 360.301.1864
(my cell phone) to arrange for a session.
