NLP Podcast 167: Each One Teach One

“I only provide the framework, the youth save themselves,” says Marcell Heinrich.

Loud music thunders from overdriven basses, colorful graffiti shines on gray concrete walls. In the years after the reunification, Marcell Heinrich is active in the hip-hop scene in Leipzig. Their rhythm hits the zeitgeist, giving him and his friends life energy and a sense of belonging.
“Each one teach one” is their motto that binds them together in this wild time of uncertainty and new beginnings. Marcell takes a remarkable path. He first becomes a street worker, then a social pedagogue and author. He writes his thesis on the impact of hip-hop on youth. He even becomes a lecturer at a university, but he is always drawn back to the sounds of the street. His passion for music, dance, and vibrant colors does not fade. On the contrary, it grows stronger, and he finds a valuable key to connect with his protégés. The youth he works with open up to him faster than with their teachers. In a completely natural way, he manages to build a relationship with them. He hits the right note, is on the same level as the youth, and becomes the only trusted person for many. “Doppel L” is his artist name under which he expresses the dreams and worries of Generation Z in lyrical rap songs.

You may be wondering what Marcell's colorful and loud story of spray cans and freestyle has to do with Neuro-Linguistic Programming? The connection between youth work and NLP can be found in terms like modeling, rapport, and mentoring. Marcell has been applying these wonderful NLP techniques intuitively for years. How exactly he has managed to find a rhythm that even attracts notable companies to him for training, you will learn in the now 167th episode of the NLP podcast.

Join Marcell and Stephan on an exciting adventure journey where everything is put on the line, where instead of school grades, the individual superpowers of young people are believed in, and which, thanks to the collaboration of several trainers, brings forth young heroes anew every day.
