Season 5 Episode 8: Everyday NLP Bites... What Are You Saying? 'Fat' Words - a podcast by Florence Madden

“Vague expression permits the hearer to imagine whatever suits him and what he already thinks in any case.”

Theodor Adorno German sociologist, philosopher and musicologist

In this podcast my focus is on ‘fat’ words – words which potentially contain different meanings to different people and as a result can lead to misunderstandings. They require us to ask more questions to really understand what some one is saying….and yet you have to notice them first. E.g. you might ask me what I mean by ‘misunderstandings’ !!!

In the NLP Meta Model these are referred to as Nominalisations.
