November 2007

On the delayed 10.30 train from Kings Cross, I am traveling back to Newcastle, NLP training at the fore front of my mind. I have been to the NLP conference, an experience of great interest, that I will write up and share my views on in the future. The even was superbly organised and well worth a visit next year. I have met some wonderful energetic people with real passion I am of course talking of both the delegates and some of the presenters. Several of the big name presenters quite categorically stated that the NLP scene here in the UK is bigger than in the US. They demonstrated a great deal of enthusiasm about this, what I would call ‘giving it a bit of the old flannel‘ and I cant help but wonder if the current US recession adds more fuel to their desires. There was, for me a curiosity regarding some of the presenters relationship with the audience and their apparent lack of knowledge, rapport and respect for other’s model of the world. There is to me a almost ubiquitous theme of re-branding and repackaging attempts at product sepperation of the various weaving threads of NLP from one another. More on this subject at another time…

the Meta Model essentially does two things when used ‘as intended’

1. It assist stuck clients to change - Therapeutic
2. It gets high quality information - Business / Pleasure / Therapeutic

Additionally the NLP Cafe, a structured, Newcastle NLP Practice group will be open for its first event on Wednesday 12th December 7-9pm. How to Create a Brilliant Future

Our NLP Practitioner course beginning in January 2008 and the current Integrity NLP Practitioner in Newcastle will uncover the Meta Model and those who are on our next Newcastle Clinical Hypnotherapy training will leave with a well grounded and practical knowledge of applying this process therapeutically.

Here are the first two of a series of tips that if you do them right will not only get you through Christmas smiling but the new year aswell! These really are simple applied NLP processes.

Tip number one

A good few years ago I stopped associating with a certain group of people. I found them really negative and very habitualised to what they ( and anyone else ) aught to do and accept in life. I found even short exposure to these people increasingly depressing and draining of positive energy. Life really can be what you make it.

Choose you friends well! There is nothing worse than spending time with the terminally negative. For these people everything is sorted into the bad category and guess what like horse dung it sticks! Let these people chew their own legs. Lose the negative people you called friends from your own life. If what you have been doing ain’t working dump the chumps! Share your time with positive and excellent people as much as you can. Notice the difference!

Tip number two

When I used to work offshore there was a genuine constant pressure to perform well. The environment was potentially very dangerous; North Sea, Radioactive sources and very heavy drilling equipment. Being in a good state, alert, energetic. My boss at the time Marty told me he listened to music before a shift to put him in the ‘right state of mind’. Coming from a man who had spent many years running a very safe shift this seems a great tip for success.

When driving or commuting two and from your place of work listen to music or recordings that you genuinely find pleasurable, fun and honestly entertaining. It doesn’t have to be music, it could be comedy or drama. Your looking for whatever floats yer boat and puts you in a right good state. This is of course the lazy persons way of anchoring a good state. Don’t you owe it to yourself to at least give it a go?

One of the things I like to encourage hypnotherapists to do is to listen to their own voice. The easiest way to do this is to record it.

Many supermarkets sell mp3 voice recorders for around £10.00, bargain!

I have uploaded a transcript from my Newcastle upon Tyne clinical hypnotherapy diploma course to the free hypnotherapy resources section. Here is a suggestion to improve your skills further…

Use the ‘learning trance’ transcript to record your ‘hypnotic’ voice onto a recorder, like said mp3. You can also listen to your recording your own voice and at the same time detect the language patterns that are displayed throughout within the script.

You need to subscribe to my occasional newsletter to access the complementary NLP and Hypnotherapy resources.

Two people were talking about buying Christmas presents, in a coffee shop in Newcastle. was there sitting chatting with Andy about our upcoming Master Practitioner course in 2008. The couple opposite us were really enjoying their Costa Massimo, quite literally a basin of coffee, imagine that. My phone went so I excused myself from the planning and answered. The phone call was made by someone requiring some help with a phobia. The were talking and they said “… yes I have had it for several years now and you know how you cant stop yourself” It was at that juncture that I said “hold on, you just said that I cant stop myself I presume you mean ‘you’ not ‘me’”. After arranging an appointment I returned to to my conversation with Andy, planning our Master Practitioner and just knew Andy was happy with our progress.
