Have you realised that time has a value to each and every one of us? And no, it is not about being late to a meeting but how we express time in the words we use and the meaning we give.
Let me give you an example.
"We are wasting time".
"Be on time".
"We lost time".
"Let's hurry up".
"We are hard-pressed for time."
"Can we finish on time."
"I have another meeting lined up."
"We are running out of time."
All these are expressions of how we code time in our neurology. The value we give time in our life. Is time a resource, a thing, something to treasure, something to waste and so on.
In NLP or Timeline Therapy(TM), we say that people can be "in-time" or "through time".
People that code time as "in-time" oftentimes have the future in front of them and the past is seen as something behind. The timeline from past to future and present, when connected, touches the body. For "Through Time People", the timeline does not touch the body.
The way they code time expresses itself in their behaviour. It is said that Through Time People are more punctual, while In-Time People live in the moment and can forget time and appointments. This is a general rule, of course, and society, environment, education and experience can impress a different behaviour. In addition, our behaviour changes according to the context in which we operate, and thank goodness for this.
Still, it is an interesting topic to think about and to reflect on how we code and express the need for time in our life.
So, how do you code or express time in your life?

Susan Boyle and her Lessons for Leadership
Have you heard of Susan Boyle? May be not but her story is worthwhile relating as there is an interesting leadership lesson in her rise to become a star.
She was the singing sensation on a British television talent contest. When she first appeared on the show, you could see the audience cringe. The judges, amongst them Simon Cowell, known also from American Idol, rolled their eyes.
Then, when she started to sing, everybody gasped and was amazed about the beauty of her voice.
When I saw her video on YouTube (her song was downloaded 200 million times), I was also blasted away as well. I started to wonder, why it took so long for her to come out.
There is a leadership lesson here.
Do you know the talents around you? How many talents are hidden in organisations and not discovered? May be they gave up a while ago, may be they were never really challenged or may be they were pushed aside one time too many.
How many talents are not discovered for whatever reasons. How many could contribute to your company, to society, or even to friends around them, but they believe that they are not worthwhile doing this.
But the story about Susan Boyle is not yet finished.
In the finals of the show, she was the favourite. But her behaviour became erratic already a week before the final show. She cracked during the finals and became the runner-up. Disappointment was written all over her face.
Next thing I heard, she was in the hospital. Due to mental and emotional exhaustion.
Isn't this another leadership lesson?
How many times do we promote or hire people who are not ready to take on bigger roles and more responsibilities. They have been trained in all the technicalities. Delegation skills, time management, may be even a short course on Emotional Intelligence. All nice and well because it is necessary. But then, who took care of the mindset involved. Getting a promotion and becoming a leader is a big step, don't you agree? It takes a totally different mindset to manage a different set of challenges.
Many newly appointed leaders crack, just like Susan Boyle. Some who have been promoted show sudden lack of confidence, low self-esteem, uncertainty, fear, and what not. In their head they have one mantra: "Who am I to be here?" "Do I really deserve this?" "What will happen if they find out that I am not that clever as it seems?"
These negative thoughts keep running and running and then, they become the self-fulfilling prophecy. Another leader, so promising before, that fails.
It seems so hard to identify these issues earlier.
In my NLP Trainings, many participants initially come with lack of confidence, or low self esteem. In my coaching sessions, there are many that are desperately trying to cope, running agains the wall, over and over again.
This is the lesson that Susan Boyle teaches us. We need to look out for the talents in our organisation. Those that are quietly doing their thing. Those that are on the way to give out. Those that are disengaged.
There is a need to support those that are going to get promoted.
