"One example of the use of hypermnesia…occurs when [individuals] are helped to remember vividly the moments of a peak performance. These peak performances serve as reference experiences….
I would hear [the coach’s] voice [even though he was not there] telling me to take the shot, and that I could make this and we would win the game.
"

In contrast to the previous interventions, there are others that help the leader, manager or team remember concretely and vividly aspects of past situations. Such considered attention to detail is called Hypermnesia. Being able to concentrate on details of aspects of past work can help someone who, for instance, has trouble recalling important business conversations or events, the remembrance of which might be crucial to a present or future task. A salesperson might thereby enhance his or her ability to recall a customer’s idiosyncratic needs and demands.
A related intervention is the inducing of a Positive Illusion. A leader or team, faced with a tough decision, uncertain environment, or other stressful business encounter, can learn through hypnosis to summon forth the encouraging words of a friend, colleague or boss, neither of whom is actually present. Similarly, a leader or team may create through hypnosis a positive illusion of a better environment in which to work or a positive illusion of a business competitor who is thereby less intimidating than usual, thus allowing the individual or group to believe in his, her or its ability to challenge the competitor effectively.
