Our NLP courses run in the North East of England and Newcastle to provide the very best applied NLP experiential trainings.

Communicating Excellence are running our next Introduction to NLP course beginning in October 25th 2008. It is a two day course, on two Saturdays.

The next NLP Introduction Course here in Newcastle upon Tyne will concentrate on skills that you can immediately use in every day life for practical results and applications to make your life better and get more of what you want.

This training is over two days. Beginning Day one Saturday October 25th and ending day two on November 1st.

The days are spread apart for two reasons. First you get necessary time to integrate your new skills into your life. Secondly spreading the training over time we realise you have the opportunity to ask questions and receive very useful feedback based on your experiences.

We restrict the number of participants to only 18 so you can be assured of personal and individual tuitions throughout each day of the course so you can get the most of your training experience.

What Participants are saying about this course

“This has been a dynamic course that has allowed me to feel empowered, in
that I feel like I have more control over emotional forces that have
driven me in the past. There is now the beginning of making decisions
that I want in a more confident manner. Thanks Nigel, Andy and Harry.”

Huw – Student

“My expectations were all met extremely well. All of the exercises were
extremely well delivered. I found it helpful the way the training was
delivered with fun and enthusiasm.”

Well Done Nadal! Indeed a truly an epic final.

Recently I have read W.Timothy Gallwey’s Inner Game of Tennis. It is an excellent book, published in 1974.

The ‘inventor’ of Calculus is often credited as Isaac Newton but there is of course the ongoing dispute that calculus was invented by Gottfried Leibniz.

Like many ‘inventions’ it is not entirely impossible that many people at around the same time had the same idea.

So what has all this got to do with NLP and Tennis? Good question.

In Gallwey’s Inner Game there are references made to ‘Self 1 and Self 2′. In NLPers as Conscious and Unconscious. And how to program it for success.

New Code’s ‘know nothing state’ seems to have an equivalent in ‘Playing out of your mind’

If you read the book, there are processes that is completely comparable to six step reframing, change personal history, time lines oh and NLP Modelling to name a few.

What A Belter!

Last night I was treated to one of the best tennis matches I have ever seen.
Andy Murray Vs Richard Gasquet, it went the full five sets and was non-stop action and emotion for players and spectators alike.

The first set was really neck and neck and it went to Gasquet. The second set Murray was outplayed; repeatedly attempting failing drop shots and audible self talk. 2-0 Gasquet.

The third set looked like going to Gasquet but he failed to serve out the match and this was the beginning of the Murray revival and the fall of Gasquet.

Both of these player have excellent skills, are emotionally involved in their game and train long and hard to be where they are in the rankings. So what happened to Gasquet? What happened to Murray?

In the second set Murray was beating himself up, hitting his head with the racket and engaged in lots of self talk; this evidently did nothing but put him off his game. Conversely Gasquet kept playing his game and winning.

When Murray grittily picked off the third set, his emotional involvement rocketed, his self talk changed to roars of self encouragement, raising him and raising the crowd. Gasquet on the other hand seemed to go inside himself. Making unforced error after unforced error, his game literally fell apart. Murray went on to epically win the next two sets to take the game.

How do players continue to motivate themselves in positive ways? And why will this match be remembered?

How can you motivate yourself positively and how can you keep you motivation focused and on track?

The follow on article – Part 2 will address these matters of practical application and highlight a link between NLP and Tennis Performance.

Practically every person has had some event or events in their life that for one or several reasons has left some emotional scarring or baggage.
NLP Practitioner Training Newcastle upon Tyne
NLP has many tools and processes that are specifically designed to take away the negative emotional charge of past events. The popular name of Change Personal History can describe the class of processes that deal with this.
NLP Master Practitioner Course Newcastle upon Tyne
As a practising clinical hypnotherapist I fully appreciate the immense power of the unconscious mind and the limitless resources and healing powers it contains.

Those past events that are negatively charged are like fragments singled out in time but what came before and what came after?

Something happens to the memory when the event is extend both forwards and backwards in time. It is no longer the same.

I have created a process called Event Scope and Meaning Repatterning – ESMR which harnesses your unconscious mind to create the right resources to change the memory and level the old painful memory.

Request my occasional newsletter to get your free copy of this effective process and access many other free NLP resources.

What does The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy, Corporal Jones from Dad’s Army, and the slogan from the BBC news web site with the latest petrol pricing crisis have in common?

the words DONT PANIC

Language is processed unconsciously, so, not surprisingly, the effect of the words dont panic is much more like PANIC!

Perhaps the next helpful headline attention grabber ’slogan’ could be SAY NO TO CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE OVER ROCKETING FOOD AND PETROL PRICES, DONT WORRY, DONT PANIC, IT WONT BE BAD’ – Arraghhhhhhhh!!!!!

its the same kind of effect as the now proverbial dont think of a blue elephant. What do you do, you think of a blue elephant. Brilliant!

The use of negative commands almost always has the undesired effect ( unless you are using them deliberately ), Like DO NOT FEEL GOOD NOW.

Anyway, if you look at one of mayor Boris Johnson’s initiatives you can see immediately the effect positive language can have.

no happy not negating then!
