I currently use the point and power technique for landing (Power for Speed, Elevator for Flight Path). However I may need to learn the other commonly used technique
The technique you talk of is not used for landing, they are used for making a stable approach.

Are you having problems with landing or with making an approach?

As far as the approach is concerned, as "cows getting bigger" says, it is simply how you perceive what you are doing with the controls rather than what you physically do.

Therefore to change from the "I use point and power" to "I use attitude for speed and power for rate of descent" simply stop saying the first when you are talking to someone and start saying the latter.
