The sheer number of books and movies about the subject and recent flood of headlines about nations spying and getting caught - attests to this. People’s thirst for insight in to those who engage in it, is probably in no small way due to the fact that so much of what occurs happens in that world is inaccessible to most people. This is very similar to how many people view how elite practitioners of NLP apply and use NLP in business. ***They’ve heard about it but they don’t quite understand how it works or how to do it.*** All they know about is fragments of the picture that have been whispered (and frequently distorted) from one student to another. While ‘official’ courses typically teach it as a set of slightly modified therapeutic techniques and frameworks which have been poorly ported on to business contexts. But this isn’t how the pros use NLP in the business world. The first thing to get if you want to use NLP in business (whether for covert or overt purposes) is if you use NLP like almost everyone else does, you are going to get spotted in 5 seconds! Or worse damage your reputation, potentially so much so you won’t be asked back. And like elite spies, elite business NLP practitioners don’t draw attention to their methods. That’s why there is so little RELIABLE, UP TO DATE and SOUND information in the public about how this stuff works. First thing to get is using NLP in business is much easier than you likely think is possible. You’ll hear Michael Breen and I say this several times: It’s about teaching your brain better ways to think. To notice and to combine what you know to create breakthrough for others. To create a breakthrough you need to first principle to understand is this: Watch this video excerpt from our private “Business Breakthrough” training -- which isn't available to buy or get a ticket too, at the moment. In this video Michael expands several key ideas that are fundamental to becoming an elite NLP operator in the world of business. Becoming a business practitioner of NLP isn’t about what studying NLP techniques – it’s about something else. Here's an excerpt from Michael distilling the thought for you here: *“It's not so much a question of what you study in order to become a Business Practitioner of NLP. It's what you practice…* *Anything that you repeat over and over again, especially in your business life on a day to day basis will become not what you do, but who you are.* *I have a little principle where anyone who says to me, having just screwed me, "Hey, don't take it personally. It's only business." I'll never work with that person again because it's not just business.* *In becoming a Business Practitioner, what we're really going to take a look at is how you are in the world. Now, I'm not talking here about becoming some kind of superhero or perfect God. No human being is perfect.* *We all have things to learn and places to grow, but it's in the consistent application of a process, an "iterative process", it's called... that we can begin to move beyond where we thought possible or beyond where the tendency of our habits was leading us.”*  Spy school teaches you to become a student of how you and others show up in the world and how to leverage that information at precisely the right moment to do achieve the improbable. But to do that you need to use another trick that every spy and elite NLP operator is trained on… Be sure to check your inbox tomorrow for an email from me for your lesson on that.

Kobe Bryant - an icon of the world of sports and one of the greatest NBA players of all-time died on Sunday in a helicopter crash.

I've been involved in NLP for nearly 13 years now and one of the most common questions I hear people ask is "does NLP last? Does it work in the long term? From its very beginnings NLP has always been focused on the difference that makes the difference. It's not just a nice phrase, it's at the core of using NLP well. I was approached by someone who was abused by an aspiring self-help guru/coach. The public vitriol this ‘coach’ launched at one of his students, when he was criticised by them, was appalling. NLP is a wonderful technology for creating change, enabling you to acquire skills and create results quicker than perhaps you thought possible. [LEARNING, CHANGE & THE SCIENCE OF PIMPING YOUR BRAIN](articles-beginners-learning-change-science) Edward Demming once said, "Learning is not compulsory but neither is survival!

Getting good at anything, is for the most part relatively easy, once you know what to do and you do it! “Time, in life, is everything.” Timing is crucial in establishing an anchor and yet it is widely misunderstood. It's the most lethal neurotoxin on the planet. Inject just a fraction and it's effects are so powerful you'd die of complete paralysis within minutes.

[DOES DOING NLP BY YOURSELF FROM A BOOK ACTUALLY WORK?](articles-beginners-does-doing-nlp-from-a-book-work) Neuro-Linguistic Programming is a brilliant technology for creating personal change. Creating change in our own behaviour is far easier when you get that structure trumps content. We’re drowning in them. Labels. Every field has its own, and personal development is no different. Almost everyone likes to believe they have good powers of observation, but as NLPers, many of us, think that we should be able to notice things better than most. We imagine that people who are successful have somehow found a loophole that catapults them from struggling to hero. Most of us know that we have automated programming and conditioning in our lives, but probably not to the full extent that it’s REALLY running our lives. At their best, a practitioner NLP is focused on creating more choice, freedom and possibilities. I know many people associate with NLP ideas around therapy work, they say what about the “fast phobia cure”, “belief change technique”, etc. As modelers we are interested in figuring out what does someone who is excellent at something do in terms of how they organize their perceptions of the world... Ever feel like there is at least two of you in there? Personal development is filled to the rafters with myths. Take one of the biggest myths of all. What I call ‘The Passion’ myth.

Find out what it is... 220 miles above the earth is something truly remarkable. There are countless methods and ways we are all influenceable. However not all methods are universal. Having a goal is one thing. Knowing what it will take to achieve it is something else. And that’s where many people fall short. Most people are familiar with asking “what am I grateful for?” It’s been part of personal development since the beginning. What stops people from having more of what they want frequently has much less to do with reality and much more to do with the script they are playing over and over again in their mind.

It drives so much of human behaviour. Look at any TV show or history book and you’ll see stories of scheming, obfuscating and manipulation at work. Frank Underwood of House of Cards exemplifies the archetypal manipulator. If you haven’t seen this Netflix hit, I strongly recommend you watch it for a masterclass in manipulation and power.It’s the story of a US congressman who wants the most powerful role in the land… to become President of the United States.Thereafter we join him ring-side as he manipulates his way to the top. In his world there are not ten rules for gaining power or even five… A master of indirect manipulation, many of his most savvy opponents don’t ever see him coming… until it is too late. In part because they never realised he is a wolf in sheep's clothing. And there are a lot of them around today. Cunning manipulators.It comes down to one essential question: ***Or Do you want to protect yourself and others from them?*** These are the choices every skilled student of NLP must make. \[And in reality you need to know both sides if you are to survive and excel.\] NLP gets a lot of flak in some quarters for being manipulative. People point to things like ‘rapport’, ‘anchoring’ and ‘priming’ as examples of how NLP is used to manipulate people.I once had a long email exchange with a woman who told me how her ‘NLP trained husband’ ruined her life. And I know top master trainers who were badly manipulated by ‘teachers’ when they were students. So is NLP manipulative? Not at all. Yes some people have used this wonderful technology to do less than positive things. Sometimes the hype gets out of hand. A quick search on YouTube reveals hundreds of videos about Obama using NLP or hypnosis for controlling the masses or some public figure using NLP for evil.A lot of this is simply B.S. Yes there are PR men and women and political speech writers who are well versed in persuasion technologies. They use the technology to try and get ideas across and manipulate the ‘frame-of-reference’ so it meets their objectives. But as much as some might be concerned about big government trying to manipulate you there are ‘everyday’ players (perhaps colleagues, salesmen, partners and ’friends’) who intentionally decide they want to manipulate you and others. The thing is, many of them suck at it when you have decent skills with the NLP toolkit you can easily see it coming.   **So here are 3 things you start to do today to stop manipulators in their tracks:** Power is a game. If you intend to win against forces that move against you, you must educate yourself in their ways. This can’t be emphasised enough. The skilled manipulator knows that people can be induced in to taking actions contrary to their long term well being in many ways. Three common ones are:if they can evoke fear or pain in you and offer relief if they present a proposition in a way that it appears to be in your best interest but really isn’t if they can evoke a sense of guilt or indebtedness. You may have noticed the pattern; the manipulator isn’t interested in objective facts but in how emotions can be evoked and how perceptions are formed. A skilled student of NLP is concerned with both.We want to be good at evoking emotions and forming perceptions. But that is just the beginning, you also want to know what are the strategies those who seek power use. The best modern book I recommend for that is Robert Greene’s 48 Law of Power. It’s a remarkable piece of work on the strategies and tactics used by the Machiavellian players. Read it so you can discover the tactics used and you will be part way to defend against them. *“Power is a social game. To learn and master it, you must develop the ability to study and understand people.”* Those who play the game (there are players and those who are played) don’t see situations as good or bad, but view situations as events and circumstances. This gives them an advantage over you or I if we let our mind cloud our judgement by adding the label of ‘good’ or ‘bad’ to an event or circumstance. As a student of NLP we are interested in both what motivates people but how people get motivated. This gives you a tremendous tool to use as a powerful lever for change or on the dark side… to control. By staying at the level of observation when a move is made, rather than judgment you are able to notice things that others miss. To uncover what someone is really doing vs. what they say, what they really value vs. what they claim. In short, when you understand what motivates and drives people, you have the capacity to puncture the cloak that conceals people’s true intentions. To figure out what purpose their behaviour is really serving. And if you are serving the role as change agent or people helper; to genuinely help them.This awareness of what drives people gives you insight in to how to protect yourself when someone is trying to manipulate you, to trigger an opponent to act in error and even to outmaneuver a cunning player. Like Frank (Underwood) they won’t see you coming. And best of all when you can do this well, you can do it without drawing any blood. Changes happen and the manipulators who sought to do you harm are left scratching their head wondering how they ended up losing. So much of our actions, choices and ultimate fulfillment is dependent on our perceptions. What you will have for lunch will depend on your perceptions. Whether or not you’ll go for that work out at the gym is dependent on your perceptions. Whether you’ll vote this way or that, or even vote at all is dependent on your perceptions. More often than not, it’s our perceptions and not the actual events that occur in the world that drive our behaviour. Human beings struggle not to add meaning to our experience of something. The skilled manipulator can use this to their advantage. Since 99.999% of people walk around every day treating their mind as reality; they rarely question the thought screen aka the mental projector of their mind. They simply believe the thoughts, the inner voice, their feelings as “so”, if the see it, hear it, feel it. They don’t need to change reality to get what they want, they simply need to get you or I to believe reality is whatever they project into the theatre of our mind.There are many strategies to do that, a topic for another post, but the when done well this can be particularly evil stuff. Language is the painter in our mind. As NLPers we are uniquely equipped to use language well, to extend an idea, to burrow it in, to use presuppositions and sub-modalities that change the look, feel, even the taste of an idea. To cause ideas to have sex, to make idea babies, to link two things that normally don’t belong together… in short to use our language to colonise a mind with someone else’s ideas. \[Sounds kinda evil doesn’t it?\] Well thankfully it isn’t. It’s a matter of application. But the message is simple: get good with language and you have the power to become highly effective in creating perceptions for others. A person rarely resists an idea they think serves their best interest. Or better yet, that they thought was their idea to begin with. It can be pretty sneaky stuff. Through the intelligent and purposeful use of just a handful of presuppositions, time and space predicates and causal language you can create vivid images that stick and burrow deep within… and hang around all day. So as useful as these 3 suggestions are, they all hook off another idea. Practice your NLP skills and very quickly when someone communicates you’ll automatically track what is said, what isn’t being said and many other para message that reveal what’s really going on. So you can avoid being duped by a manipulator who wants you to feel bad, frak with you life or act in less than your own best interest. *Everyone has something they’d like to change in their life.

Learn First-Class Problem Solving, Communication & Influencing Skills So You Stand Out & Move Up. Get The Skills To Take Your Coaching To The Next Level & Beyond. NLP offers us a whole host of tools for "covertly communicating" in any situation. Tens of thousands of people search the web each month for covert communication and related terms, so in brief what is the key to "covertly communicating". Well there are a many things to get, I'll cover a few of the good ones here. First off; the magic is not in any one language technique or pattern. It's not in slick anchoring or below me speed seduction patterns, right fellows? So what's it all about then? I was out the other night at a hip bar in Royal Exchange in London, it's a got a massive dome inside and is very majestic, you can easily get lost in here, with the most expensive of stores peppering the edge of a vast hall. The place was bombed during World War and has been re-built three times. As I entered I noticed the lights were low and I was there at 7PM with two friends, talking about covert communication. I caught the eye of my first friend thirty paces out in front, who indicated with a gentle finger wag and a smile, come closer, "we're over here". As I sat down, one of them turned and said "Did you see that really interesting article on Hilter by so and so? ... he was a superb communicator ... I was reading the other day how he studied Gustav Le Bon and the psychology of crowds, it's really good article, you have to check it out". This had my interest. The power to influence millions of people is something to be studied, don't you think? So I kinda phased out for a moment as I remembered hearing from Michael at a recent Group Energetics workshop he did that Hitler had studied orchestra conductors on how to control his output and strongly influence the patterns of others non verbally. Suddenly, a guy bumped up against me and split his drink. Splash … right over the person in front of me. Boom, next the guys glass broke! "Open your eyes!" I thought, this can be easy. So as I listened I remembered that other powerful communicators had studied the verbal and nonverbal patterns of others so there must be a pattern there, right? Yet you may find it not strange to think that urgency has a momentum to it, you see not everything is covert, to a trained eye even covert is very overt, have you ever thought that? Kinda confusing isn't it. But it doesn't need to be .. because all I've done here is to demonstrate a few so called "covert techniques", through the medium of text. Now before I shine the light on some of the most powerful techniques we as NLPers can use, I want to emphasize something key… The other night I was watching a re-run of an intense movie, called "Man on Fire", starring Denzel Washington, you may have seen it. He plays a broken and ex-special forces bodyguard who is hired to protect a young girl in South America. It's a great movie to watch if you haven't seen it because it is not hard to see patterns occurring over and over (he's an angry, guilt ridden alcoholic). It's right there in front of your face to notice, but it's not obvious when you're on the inside. Most people are when the go to the cinema. You get lost in the big screen. Anyway there is a part in the movie where he is teaching the young girl how to improve her swimming technique. She's the fastest swimmer in the pool but she's always last off the blocks and so never does as well as she could. In her head she knows what to do, she's just got a fear to doing it. He has her rehearse in her mind over and over doing one move, just one move, again and again really clearly so that when she hears the competition gun fire, she can spring into action. She doesn't realize it will work until she gets on the diving blocks. His guidance works a treat. There were many layers of presuppositions with supporting tag questions to create certainty about covert communication being something worth studying etc. Getting clear on your outputs is essential to doing elegant "covert communication". Once you know what you are trying to achieve (have someone do, think or feel) then you can cast your spells so to speak but that only works well inside a good strategy. You can then make intentional use of the toolset that NLP provides such as anchoring, embedded commands, embedded suggestions, conversational sub-modality change, nesting stories, speaking in quotes, isomorphic metaphors, metaphoric imagery, interspersed communication, presuppositions etc As a student of Milton Erickson once said "Milton would bore you to death with his droll voice and seemingly endless tales, yet somehow you just find yourself feeling better .. for no reason at all". Now getting to grips with Covert communication can be quite easy. Discover how to **use hypnotic language conversationally, and craft suggestions** so you can create rapid change... Free video training here >> So which patterns have I been using here? ... well as the practical part of this post you can figure that out for yourself. Read it again and see. It's literally right in front of your eyes. Stay out of the content and pay attention to the process going on. In part one of this article I wrote about the many covert communication patterns that exist within the NLPers toolset to impart a message or series of message other than consciously. If you haven't read that post you can read it now here. I left part one with an assignment for the reader to identify the covert patterns used, in this post I outline the major pattens and overall direction of the post. There were many levels of communication going on in the 1st post, let's review: "you can easily get lost in here" ..."open your eyes".. "this can be easy" followed up by the embedded instruction "So as I listened I remembered that" then gave more "big yellow highlighter" instructions by saying "there must be a pattern there, right?" .. "it's right there in front of your face..." and others delivered while speaking in quotes such as ""Gustav Le Bon and the psychology of crowds, it's really good … you have to check it out" All of these were wrapped inside other overt content for the conscious mind. There were many layers of presuppositions with supporting tag questions to create certainty about covert communication being something worth studying etc. I Made Intentional Use Of Sub-Modality 'Manipulation 'to create an altered state for the reader. I start using big SMD visual references such as massive dome ..vast hall and change from large space references to close narrow and dim by saying things like .. lights low .. finger wag .. smile etc. This is then followed by a a pattern break (suddenly, a guy bumped up against me) and a change of sensory systems "splash, boom, shatter". This was to prime another altered state and mis-direction and to lead your mind in to a mild confusion pattern which was re-enforced with the whole section beginning "Yet you may find it not strange to think that urgency has a momentum to it". Simple negation, with use of many an overload pattern is designed to put the readers mind into a state of mild confusion so that the next thing that makes sense is something you grab on to .. in this case it's the suggestion and key lesson of the whole post "you see not everything is covert, to a trained eye even covert is very overt" and followed up with the question "have you ever thought that?". The purpose of this is to shift the reader’s attention from evaluating if what I just said is true but rather have they ever thought that. Sneaky but powerful. OK, before we continue what else did I use .. well there was the tried and trusted speaking in quotes used several times "we're over here" .. "interesting article on Hitler" etc the big benefit of speaking in quotes is you can say anything you want (useful for state elicitation, testing, strategy installation work etc) and not have to take responsibility for it. Mmm, you may be wondering where that could be useful. There was also direct communication right at the start with "the magic is not in any one language technique or pattern". The whole reason for not using overt patterns (sometimes) is that you want to make sure someone's conscious mind doesn't mess up the key message(s) you want them to get. Sometimes the easy thing would be to say do x,y,z or if you do this then that will happen etc but the receiver has a map of the world that is set to "i've heard this before" in which case you're message will bounce off them like bullets from Superman. Other times it's not that they have the "I know it all" going on but rather they’ve got some pretty powerful 'delete, distortion and generalisation' patterns going on in which case your direct communication is going to sink like a lead balloon. Hence covert communications can be ideal for situation like these. We won't go into Nesting loops (a much bigger topic) but I opened many loops and nested ideas within the structure of how I presented the content of the last post. Each layer of the stories I told had several functions, a common theme being to distract or engage your mind while I worked through the covert aspect of the post and elicit a specific state. I also switched referential index or was nonspecific at key times so the reader can associate into "you can easily get lost in here" .. again very useful when you are doing covert persuasion. Of course when doing this in person you can spatially anchor or point at the listener etc. To pick back up on our analysis I left reader in a state of mild confusion intentionally and then paced the reader by saying 'Kinda confusing isn't it.' and lead from there with 'But it doesn't need to be" ... presupposing a way out of the confusion ... in which I looped back on the earlier loop I opened by repeating the same key points but in a different story this time about Denzel Washington and getting the big yellow highlighter out and directly stating "it is not hard to see patterns occurring over and over" but said within a fluff cause and effect statement "It's a great movie to watch if you haven't seen it because it is not hard to see patterns occurring over and over". Am I talking about the movie or about the post? ... This section is a big isomorphic metaphor ... and has more embedded suggestions placed inside this story. I shift to quite direct communication within the story here by saying "It's right there in front of your face to notice, but it's not obvious when you're on the inside." This is the flashing neon sign for those tasked looking for the covert patterns and had a key message about noticing covert communication ... i.e. you need to have your awareness on the outside. Most people would be blind to the suggestion here if this was said on the fly and in a non-patterning/learning context. I follow that up with "Most people are when the go to the cinema. You get lost in the big screen." This is a call back to the big vast "get lost in here" suggestions from earlier for anyone who is still on that thread and for the NLPer who's tuned in, it is a reference and an isomorphic metaphor to process of creating and living from inside our minds and making movies in our mind. Without going too deep, the dialogue about the girl is a metaphor of the NLP student who may seem to know alot more than their friends and colleagues about NLP processes and techniques yet doesn't get the kind of results with the tool set that they want "She's the fastest swimmer in the pool but she's always last off the blocks and so never does as well as she could. In her head she knows what to do, she's just got a fear to doing it." Alot of NLPers who I've had the pleasure of knowing and who have responded to surveys have indicated they are concerned about mucking up or embarrassing themselves or getting caught using NLP or that covert communication is manipulative. This part of the metaphor is a mapping for that. And if you can relate with this, then kudos to you and I hope you're beginning to realise it doesn't need to be this way. The next section is where I walk through a strategy to get good at using covert communication "rehearse ... over and over ... do just one move ... one move (move being a pattern) ... again and again ... really clearly so when you need to do it ... you spring into action" And I place the post-post suggestion "She doesn't realize it will work until she gets on the diving blocks. His guidance works a treat." Which is stating that this stuff will work well (and it does) when you use the strategy I proposed. When you're telling a metaphor you’re not looking for some change right away, the measure of its success is what happens sometime after it's told and the behavioural change that can occur - often without your awareness. I close out the post giving you the first part of the strategy "get clear on your outputs" and give you a shopping list of tools from which to draw on to get even better at covert communication and finish off with a speaking in quotes pattern about Milton. Now as I mentioned there is alot more to covert influence than just picking a few techniques and throwing them at a wall and hoping something sticks. Sure you can learn a few language patterns and in certain contexts they may or may not work but you'll not know why/why not and more importantly what you need to do to get the desired effect in a different context. In the last post I was working to a clear TOTE and outcome and was tracking the states my communication was (likely) to put the reader in, the structure that I would need to use to achieve the overall result I wanted and the strategies I was going to employ "confusion", "misdirection", "nesting" etc and finally the content that they would wrap around the messages I wanted to place. Will everyone reading it get everyone ... no of course not ... and the cool thing is that is not important, they don't need to. The communication is so layered and redundant (meaning doing over and over again) that by being systematic and cycling several times through the same pattern/suggestions the reader will pick up what you want to leave with them ... the words will go with you. *Everyone has something they’d like to change in their life. I’m here to help you transform the behaviours that get in your way so you can have the life you really want.* [Easing Fears Conversationally & Installing A New Strategy](articles-advanced-easing-fears) We will never sell, share, or spam your email.

How To Use Submodalities To Increase Your Productivity Regardless it's a good time to use NLP processes to help you close the gap. Like how to use sub-modalities to increase your productivity. Sub-Modalities: A Power Tool For Powerful Productivity If you are new to NLP, let me quickly explain what sub-modalities are. Within each sense or representational system, we have the ability of making finer distinctions about that sensory system. To describe the "sub-modalities" of our experience. For example within the visual system, a picture can be described as moving (i.e. a movie) or still. It will have a relative scale of brightness or darkness. We may see it through our own eyes (associated image) or we can see ourselves looking at something (disassociated image). All of these features happen for the most part outside our normal day to day awareness. They are fast and automatic. Which sub-modality references it uses affects how we feel about an experience AND what you'll do. For instance, whether you'll take an action is impacted by how you represent that something. 'Cook it up' right and you'll conquer the tallest mountains. Condition your mind to a diet of fuzzy, abstract and cloudy sub-modalities and you'll find yourself making little to no progress. The sub-modalities you habitually use to represent your goals directly affect the intensity you feel about the goal. Which affects the likelihood that you'll take action (or not). Often... size, colour, brightness, point of view etc play critical roles. For many people the bigger the size and richer the colour; the bigger the impact it will have on their experience. There is much, much more to be said about the powerful role sub-modalities play on our internal experience of the world. So what's all this got to do with productivity and achieving your goals? Your brain operates on the instructions you give it. Feed it garbage instructions and you'll likely only get garbage out. Fuzzy, blurry representations of the goal you are striving for. Dark, small, defocused black and white images of what you want, positioned way, way out there. Feed it rich, detailed multi-sensory representations and it will - spring into action and sustain you through tough times. Having big, colourful, bright clear picture of what you are looking to have occur. Seeing colourful movies play out with you seeing yourself taking the requisite actions to achieve your goals. Hearing and feeling the excitement of certainty and happiness as you make progress. Perhaps hearing yourself say "Yes, I will do this!" This is just the beginning to using the conditioning in ACTION focused sub-modalities into your daily goal directed experience. \[The inverse is also often true when we find we aren't making progress on key goals - we're trying to force action when our brain says there is nothing for me to move toward or away from.\] You can use the distinctions shared here to ratchet up your productivity with very little extra effort on your behalf. For example, many people make the mistake of trying to keep everything they need to do in their head. The problem with option 1 is our brains suck at holding more than 7 or so ideas at once. And for most people it's less than three. So it's easy to get overwhelmed. Distracted. Off target. Option 2 - keeping everything on a to-do lists, while better than option 1 has major problems. Everything is the same font size, colour and basically looks much the same. When things fall behind or goals go off course - there is no change in the font SIZE of the task to grab your attention. And even when there is - it's usually some "overdue" tag that is out of line of sight of the goal. Now you have the beginnings of a very powerful productivity and success driven process. I use everything from whiteboards and post-it notes to virtual dashboards and all in one visual planning systems. But combined they create a powerful process for getting stuff done and staying on track on your most important goals. What ways can you use these distinctions about sub-modalities to change how you work? One immediate example is whenever you fall behind on a goal rewrite it so that it **STANDS OUT** and grabs your attention. Make the font bigger. Use brighter colours. Each day it is behind - rewrite it but make it bigger. (Rather than dissolving into the background with all the other work you have to do!) If you are stuck on a goal or task for months but haven't been making any progress; figure out how you are representing it. Chances are the sub-modalities of it are configured in such a way where NOT taking action is the RIGHT thing to do, from your brain's perspective. Use any number of NLP processes to transform the way you represent it so that you've got clarity and it triggers action. There's much more to be said, but you have plenty to get you started.

Easing Fears Conversationally & Installing A New Strategy **"Ladies and Gentleman can you please take your seats"** Recently I was on a flight with my partner between Las Vegas and San Francisco and the plane went through a long period of bad turbulence. Thump, bump and shake were the physical experience for the passengers. You could see the colour draining away in many people's faces and shallow breathing. I love flying, and my partner is normally a very good flyer, but this level of turbulence kicked off in her a fear "program." The more the turbulence continued the more the feelings of dread and definite doom were being (self) amplified in her. She had both a reinforcing and feed forward loop in operation for those of you familiar with systems thinking. If your first thought was to run the fast phobia cure you would be unlikely to be very effective. Why? Before I answer that, have you ever tried to hypnotize a young child whose imagination and focus is flying all over the place? The first rule of good hypnosis is to absorb attention, and a person who is very scared is already in a trance .. but not the kind that you want them in. In actuality they are most likely fully associated in to their movie and amplified the sound levels to the max. If they are good at it and able to get into that state quickly, unless you powerfully interrupt them you will have a hard time trying to get them to follow your instructions. Trying to overlay a "see yourself there looking at yourself" disassociation technique will not work effectively if the chemistry is wrong in the individual ... which it was in this case. Furthermore, the person in this case had a fear and not a phobia so running a phobia cure would not have resolved it. 2\. Have my partner quickly become really calm and for the experience of time in the flight to "flyby" By tonally marking out the commands and hypnotic themes I wanted her unconscious mind to pick up on, she soon was breathing deeply. So I began to talk to tell her a story about the rabbit, the wolf and the lonely man in the forest. The content of the story is not so important but rather the process I used. My partner knows quite a bit about NLP so I knew if I approached her conscious mind and asked her to breath in, relax and focus on a good memory she would be "resistant" to any such direct suggestions ... so I started a conversation with her conscious and unconscious mind through telling nested stories, using hypnotic themes, hypnotic voice and embedding various commands designed to draw her attention inward to the story, relax completely and feel great. I made up each story on the fly letting my own imagination drive the detail of the story ... starting initially telling her about a lonely man in the forest who was tired, hungry and in need of a friend, working with just two characters and then expanding to describe the forest, the community and then the villain and hero situation that existed within. I used my voice tone and accent to create different little characters. Within a few minutes she was fully engrossed in the stories and by tonally marking out the commands and hypnotic themes I wanted her unconscious mind to pick up on she soon was breathing deeply and falling asleep, yet saying please tell me more as she wanted to know what happened to each of the characters she has developed an emotional bond with. I didn't need to break her state in an overt way or get her consciously to follow my commands. Such is the power of embedded commands. Embedded commands are a very powerful aspect of hypnosis and NLP when used skillfully. They allow you to communicate two or more messages to a person at the same time and if the themes of the stories you use and the commands you give are very different from each other yet fit within the story you're sharing it will be very difficult for anyone to pick up on them, yet the unconscious mind will know. I decided I didn't just want my partner to be more relaxed and indeed after a little while into the story she became totally oblivious to the increasing turbulence around her, which for a time had my internal state jumping until I directed myself, but I wanted to give her a strategy for feeling calm when she faced turbulence again, which I did through the voice of Oscar the friendly rabbit in the story. Installing a strategy is a process of linking specific parts (in terms of activities distinctions you need the person to make and operations they need to do) together to create a particular outcome and then testing after you have done your work. In my early days of NLP, I thought strategy installation was a very complex thing, yet while there is a strong skill component required to it, NLP has many means of installing strategies from storytelling to chaining anchors while seeding beliefs. The best way I've found to do this is to work in chunks and simply focus on doing one aspect of the strategy a time. So for example I needed her to get accustomed to when she should run the strategy I was about to install in her so I had the voice of Oscar talk to another character in the story about the ground shaking and the trees blowing and described over an extended period of time (so as to avoid any conscious awareness) the physical feelings of fear that one might experience. Then I broke using a hard loop into a new story describing a character who went through such a situation and accessed specific resources in a specific sequence. Repeating this process over a number of sub-stories conditioned a set of steps or strategy her unconscious mind could now use to "re-interpret" the events around her and any future situations of turbulence. 35 minutes on and we cleared the turbulence and both our experiences of time had "flown by". My partner was very calm at this point and looking forward to exploring San Francisco, unaware of any change work or indeed that I had done anything other than tell her some stories that made her feel good. Take a specific action today to practice any one of the following skills below. Practice makes for improvement and little improvement will make for dramatic increase in your skills for incremental work. Storytelling is the foundation of elegant hypnotic change and leveraging many of the powerful tools in NLP. Everyone is telling stories all the time, so next time you catch yourself telling a story look to achieve a specific outcome like elicit an anchor a useful state that you can fire when you want. Come up with three ways that you will practice using embedded commands in your communication. For example, you could: Come up with three more for yourself and then pick your best two and use them today. *Everyone has something they’d like to change in their life.

Learn First-Class Problem Solving, Communication & Influencing Skills So You Stand Out & Move Up. Get The Skills To Take Your Coaching To The Next Level & Beyond. Self Control: A Simple Technique To Become More Successful A skill held highly by the ancient Greeks and cherished by achievers of every age. Once you make this part of your M.O.; success in just about any endeavour is within reach. The skill I am referring to is one of THE most valuable skills you can develop if you want to enhance your life. Chances are you have a reasonable idea of what 'success' looks like. You may even know what is required to achieve it. There are tons and tons of books, seminars, blogs, wikis, videos and TV shows on every topic imaginable. Yet, all too often, many people fall short of achieving anything close to their desired goal. Self-help programs focus for the most part on what is required to be successful. Few focus on how to consistently do what is required to be successful. *“*Successful people do the things that unsuccessful people don't or won't do."*”* There will always be a few critical conditions that must occur in order for the goal to be achieved. People who are successful consistently do the things that are required to achieve their goals. They may be totally "lazy" in other areas of their life but in regards to the achievement of that specific goal; the consistently do what is required. A friend approached me recently and said something that made me laugh. I responded with a puzzled look. My friend continued: *"I noticed over the years that you keep doing things, even when you don't enjoy them."* *"For me as soon as I don't enjoy something I stop, but you do the tasks anyway, even if they aren't enjoyable."* I stopped for a moment and thought about it. He was right. I reflected back on many occasions in my life where I would have preferred to have been doing something else, but I did the tasks anyway. Like anyone who has achieved something worthwhile, there will be moments, sometimes entire periods where things really are a struggle and you wonder are you making any headway at all. That steely determination, self-control and unbending resolve that you are going to do what needs doing (those critical few tasks/objectives) is what really counts. It build great self-confidence and belief in yourself. *"How can I develop self-control like that, so I can experience and achieve more of what I want?"* I reflected back on my own process and let him in on a simple rule I've lived my life for many periods of my life. A rule that has been passed down by one achiever to the next. ***"Do one thing every day that you REALLY don't want to do."*** Me: *"Seriously, this one simple act can change your entire attitude and build rock solid self-control muscles."* *"You do the act, simply for the practice. Over time you get a kick off of seeing how far you've come."* With daily practice to begin with, your mind-body will quickly get the message, when you Ava Jean, say you are going to do something - that the only choice it has is to get on board and do it. You become more of the captain - and less of he servant. When you set a goal, your mind locks on… fixates on ways and means for you to achieve it. You drop the word "trying" from you vocabulary. Your mind switches to a place of expectancy. Your brain and body operates from the position that the goal has been achieved; there are only X number of actions that need to be completed to create the conditions you want. And you get to work. It's one of the simplest and most powerful personal development techniques I know. Do one thing you REALLY don't want to do every day.It will change your life. Anything that when you think about it, brings up a strong visceral turning away from response, and perhaps inner phrase of "I don't want to do that!" **Here are some common ones I've noticed that are common "hate to do" tasks for people.** Take out a sheet of paper now and write down 7 things you really don't want to do. Things that need doing and will have a positive impact (and reward) when you do them, but upon first thinking about them you go "anything but that!" You can even repeat your "Don't Want To Do" actions if they need to be done every day. This one change separates the dreamers from the doers. *Everyone has something they’d like to change in their life.

What Do Star Trek, Michael Phelps, & SuperMax All Have In Common? What does Gene Roddenberry, Michael Phelps and some SuperMax prisoners all have in common? They have all learned to develop incredible skills, and train in, higher levels of performance, by using their minds… If you're a fan of Star Trek then perhaps like me, you have imagined how cool it would be to have your very own holodeck, A holodeck or Holographic Environment Simulator, is a dream bit of virtual reality tech. With it, pretty much anything you can imagine, can be projected into a virtual reality world that you move around in and interact with everything in it, just like you can touch, smell, hear, see and feel in the real world around you. Any place you've ever been or want to visit, any experience, scenario or personality, real or fictional can be programmed and represented inside it. To your brain and nervous system it feels totally real. It's no surprise in the 23rd century that Gene Roddenberry's characters in Star Trek make good use of such awesome technology - for recreation, fun, fantasy and of course training. Although the technology that the holodeck works on doesn't fully exist yet, that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy doing some of the same things with the most powerful processor and simulator that you carry around which you all the time. Take Johnny Perez, as an interesting case of survival of solitary confinement. Johnny is an ex-con living in the United States who served 13 years in prison in upstate New York, three of which were in solitary confinement. Solitary confinement, also called Supermax or being in the "box" involves being confined to a small cell for 22 to 24 hours a day. SuperMax prisoners are not allowed to participate in leisure activities, interact with others or have any kind of hobbies. Many people faced with such harsh constrained environments go insane. Yet Parez says he came out solitary confinement "a better man than I was when I went in." So what did he do, that so many others don't that allowed him to thrive? He went inside his mind and used it to imagine travelling through time, replaying past painful conversations but extracting lessons from them, he imagined alternate endings to past situations. And meetings he was yet to have. *"I used to lie in bed with my eyes closed," he said, "thinking about my past, thinking about my future, planning for the future. Some of it was based on reality, and the other-borderline fantasy."* He mentally created his own holodeck. Filled it with people, events and ideas that kept his mind sane in the absence of external stimulation. He spoke out loud to himself, he become purposeful about what he did with his "mental space", how he used it and what he filled it with. He **intentionally guided his mind**, activating his frontal lobe and training his nervous system to go there quicker, and stay in his mind space for longer. Imagine being held in a confined space ten feet by six feet for 3 years, and at the end of that experience you come out a better person than you were going in. **That's real personal development**, and something accessible to all of us (to different degrees), if we intentionally practice using our imaginations and creating powerful training simulators in our mind. You see, mental imagery is an ideal and remarkably portable training tool. Imagine yourself doing an activity or skill you want and you will improve - it's known as the carpenter's effect. The bottom line is - **what the mind vividly imagines the brains treats as real and the body responds and adapts accordingly.** Olympic swimmer **Michael Phelps** and other top performers make use of this powerful training simulator. His coach got him to follow a routine during his training to help his performance become even better. Every night before he went to bed he visualised a slow-motion video of what he imagined to be the perfect race. In the morning he'd do the same thing as soon as he work. When he entered the pool for his training sessions, he then tried to replicate that perfect race performance every time. He got so good at this when the Olympics came, his swam the perfect race again and again, winning a total of 18 gold medals in 3 Olympics to date. **Next time you want to raise your game** in any area, don't try and force yourself to perform better. Repeat it over and over, making it viscerally real. Slow it down, expand it out. Feel it. Then open your eyes and let your best self show up. If you want to take this process to a whole other level you can use self-hypnosis or recorded a guided visualisation on your phone and make a habit of running the program twice a day. You'll be amazed at the difference 60 seconds to a few minutes can make.

Learn First-Class Problem Solving, Communication & Influencing Skills So You Stand Out & Move Up. Get The Skills To Take Your Coaching To The Next Level & Beyond. **Anthony J. Mahavorick, aka Tony Robbins** is probably the most well-known NLP student of all time. At one point in his truly remarkable career Tony was estimated to be worth $800 million and had an infomercial for his Personal Power product on TV somewhere in North America every 30 minutes. Tony learnt NLP back in the 80s and really did 'go for it' and apply what he learnt fully, fueling a career that went on to establish him and his "Mega" seminars as one of the top events to go to in the personal development world. He has coached or advised some of the top sports, business and politicians of our time. If you have ever seen Tony at a live seminar you will know he is an exceptional presenter and master crowd communicator. Even in Great Britain, a country known for being quite conservative in behaviour he will have 10,000+ attendees from the UK and around the world jumping up and down and celebrating like a rock concert crowd and singing "life will never be the same!". So just how does he do this? What NLP methods are observable in his presentations? In this 3-part video analysis of a UPW Preview event, I examine many of these themes. I look at both the auditory and visual anchoring used, how Tony directs their attention, how he seeds beliefs and chains thoughts. You'll see Tony setup a propulsion system and demonstrate excellent state management and elicitation. For those of you who watched my Derren Brown Trains of Thought Analysis (here), the key thing to keep in mind is that unlike Darren's fast NLP techniques to alter states with a specific outcome in mind, Tony will be seeding thoughts and stacking anchors overtime which to a non-trained eye are far too subtle to be picked up. Even when you know NLP, it is easy not to 'see' what he is doing. We pick up this analysis in video 1 where Tony is setting the frames for the beginning of the session, setting a hook to hang the rest of the presentation on. He skillfully guides the audience through a journey, moving from doubt, pessimism to really want to go for changing their lives. In terms of NLP skills demonstrated, by the end of the presentation Tony will have setup a number of anchored states, convincers and a new perspective to move toward creating an extraordinary life. Remember a little practice, done regularly is worth a lot more than a lot of "someday I'll get really good" talk. Before you watch, please note I don't cover every aspect and have intentionally left some NLP aspects uncommented. Also, please be aware that the volume contrast between Tony's presentation and my speaking over varies so I suggest you keep your volume semi-low until you've calibrated to the right sound level for you. CAUTION: The audio levels in the following videos vary widely while playing back elements of the live workshop. Therefore, please turn your audio down at 00:45 to avoid discomfort. Video 1: Tony Beginning To Build A Propulsion System And Reframe Common Resistance Beliefs Video 2: Anchoring An Extraordinary Life, Chaining Ideas And Eliciting A Self-Convincer Video 3: Amplifying Certainty State, Teaching Self-Anchoring And Finally Triggering "Go For It" So after watching the above videos, what have you learnt? What did you notice that Tony does very well that perhaps you can use when doing your own presenting? Did you notice how when Tony anchored the audience he didn't look at his hand and give it attention .. his anchoring was outside conscious awareness and over the videos he amplified and chained more ideas to that left hand gesture (the anchor). How can you use that technique deliberately in your own talks? Or perhaps you can use the disarming way Tony skillfully reframed and outframed likely limiting beliefs that stop people from going for the things they want. Notice how he didn't try to intellectualise it to his audience. He engaged their emotions and leveraged the peak states of his audience to have them re-affirm his earlier beliefs. Powerful.

How To Anchor An Audience Using Neuro-Linguistic Programming The following post was written in response to a question by a reader who wanted to know how to anchor a state of excitement in an audience. Anchoring is truly one of those magical things that can continue to amaze both the new and experienced NLPer. It is a wonderfully powerful tool for change, influence and transforming lives. Yet many of us forget that anchoring is the process of learning and is happening all the time. When you learn to master anchoring you have an incredibly powerful tool to use in everyday life. People when they first learn to anchor make the mistake that it's all about the technique, the touch or the specific type of anchor being set. But it's not! The touch on the knee, the unique visual gesture etc is the magic curtain pulled over the eyes of the NLPer. Indeed, the keys to anchoring were pulled over my eyes for quite a while. I used to watch video after video of some of the early NLP masters doing trainings, looking to identify where for example Richard Bandler would anchor the audience and be mystified … two hours in I still couldn't “find it” those darn anchors! Really great NLP skilled communicators don't make their anchoring obvious many times. I don't know if you've ever sat through a presentation with a top speaker, even after learning NLP and not noticed all the anchoring that is going on – all the time. Yet the key to anchoring has been right there in front of all our eyes for a long time - it's just been obscured. There are three simple rules that if you follow will work consistently every time. Based on the initial question by submitted, I'm going to assume you want to anchor excitement in your talk. **Rule 1: Focus first on eliciting the state. A strong state always precedes a good anchor.** Anchoring is fun and something one can always learn to improve every time. You don't need an audience to practice the skills above. Try it out the next time you are in a social situation, at dinner, at a party ... or work environment. Silly as this may sound, in order to anchor excitement, you first must elicit excitement. Yet presenters make this mistake all the time. If you don't have any state (meaning a strong state of excitement in this case) you shouldn't even think about setting an anchor. Anchoring is not a mechanical behaviour, it is a fluid dance between two or more people with either an overt or covert intention to be able to trigger a specific response at a later time. So first step is to elicit a pure state of excitement from the audience (remembering that not all of the audience will be feeling it to the same intensity – but you are looking for broad indicators that overall the group is). A lot of NLPers and presentation folk anchor way, way, way before there is any real state to anchor. You might of learned or seen this form of anchoring where the presenter walks over to one side of the stage and says to him/herself "if I move over here" this is the spot for my “excitement” anchor. Right now walk over there and this is the spot for my “yes set” anchor. Unfortunately, through no fault of their own, this can look naf and no intentional anchoring is happening at that time. To avoid this trap make sure you really build up the state of excitement in your audience. Use the best of your storytelling and elicitation skills to do this. Every tried juggling two balls while holding a serious conversation? If you have you know it isn't long before you end up dropping both balls and forgetting what you were talking about. In order to be able to know when the moment is right to anchor you need to be outside your head or what we call “in uptime”. If you are presenting material you don't know that well, trying to remember to do that, stay on track with your content and elicit a state and anchor all at the same time, chances are you are going to do a poor job. Your focus will be internal also known as being in downtime. Not the place to be when you're presenting to a crowd. As we know from cognitive psychology the conscious mind can only handle 7 + or - two things. So if you are trying to read the audience, present, work out what's coming next etc you'll find doing your group anchoring skills challenging. Anyone would. Therefore, take the pressure off yourself and practise telling the main outlines of your content many times beforehand and plan in an exciting tale that you know off well so you can notice the audiences state and can then anchor without ever needing to walk around the platform. The Take away is No Uptime – No Anchor! Stay in uptime and watch your audience for the "right time". **Rule 3: Once you have a strong state elicited, Then and Only Then Set the Anchor** As soon as you have externally observed that the state is “cooking”, then do something unique and consistent. You don't need to change your tone to anchor the state, although of course you can and there isn't anything wrong with that (unless you kill the state!). One of the secrets to anchoring is to realise that the tone you are using at the moment of the heightened excitement WILL be getting anchored to the state and will act as a trigger for bringing back the state. When you really realise that, powerful things are possible. What's more, if you use your voice tone effectively you can amplify the state and create a “sliding tonal anchor” totally outside your audiences’ conscious mind. Before I get into the details of actually setting the group anchor, I wanted to mention that there are many more ways to anchor the kinesthetic touch taught in practitioner training. As a new practitioner, I remember being frustrated wondering how do you anchor in a business environment. I can't exactly touch the client on the thigh! The good news is you can just as easily anchor by smell, taste (use your imagination!), sight and sound. Although to ensure you have anchor redundancy built-in, you will want to anchor in two or more sensory systems at the same time. I'm going to assume for now you want to anchor using the visual and auditory systems for the "trigger". To do so, you need to do three things at the same time. (2). at the point of strongest observable intensity, do something visually unique (for example twist your hand in a snapping motion as if you were catching a handful of air at the same time as you (3) make a unique sound or phrase at the same time. Repeat it once or twice to reinforce depending on the intensity (by the way this doesn't need to be straight away, you can tell another story that elicits the same state and repeats the visual and auditory) to condition the new pattern for the brain. Once you've done the three steps above, you should now have a very good anchor for excitement. Sidebar: Remember the stronger the state and the more unique the trigger, the better the anchor. When you are presenting to an audience you need to amplify both the visual and auditory aspects more so than when working one on one where the person can easily see and hear you. Now before you congratulate yourself (which you should when you do this) you need to test that you have indeed set the anchor. How? Simply fire off the anchor at a later stage when the audience is in a different state and see if you bring back the excitement response. What do you do if it doesn't? …. Begin to look uncomfortable .. quickly look for a scapegoat and quickly exit from the crowd! Seriously, anchoring works. You've done it a thousand times already, even if like all of us you weren't aware at times when you did it. If the anchor didn't work simply re-trace the three steps above, identify what was missing and re-do-it. Do it even better this time!

You don't need an audience to practice the skills above. Try it out the next time you are in a social situation, at dinner, at a party ... or work environment. Identify the state you want to elicit, practice putting yourself into that state at a moment’s notice, then plan two or three stories you can use that typically elicit this state and go out and have fun practising.

Learn First-Class Problem Solving, Communication & Influencing Skills So You Stand Out & Move Up. Get The Skills To Take Your Coaching To The Next Level & Beyond. How To Create Powerful Learning Experiences For Others I talked about the need for any NLPer to become more aware about how people learn. As NLPers we regularly help establish, change or re-engineer certain thoughts, feelings and behaviours And the interesting thing is there isn't a magic bullet. But NLP has developed some processes and distinctions that when used by a skilled practitioner, will enable them to typically get better results, much faster than traditional approaches. There are a lot of skills you need to have under your belt, and some key distinctions about how people learn and change. Today I'll cover five major points that any practitioner looking to help wire up a new behaviour or learning experience for others, will want to know. 1\. All Human Behaviour Is Goal Directed, Purposive And Adaptive. This means that all behaviour that anyone expresses has some conscious or other-than-conscious goal in mind: that the goal criteria (of how do I know I've achieved it) is detectable through one or more of the five senses.: that the behaviour is in the service of a given outcome and is adaptive for the proposed circumstances one finds oneself operating in. All of that is a bit of a mouthful, so let's walk through an example. Let's take the current news story of the 33 trapped Chilean miners who were found alive 700M beneath the surface. Their presumed goal is to survive long enough to be freed. As a group, according to press reports, they have organised themselves to stay "unified, organised and motivated to contend with the bizarre conditions of their daily existence". Their behaviour is consistent with the goal of surviving. Their behaviour is adaptive to the conditions they face. After being discovered they are euphoric, as one might expect. Yet after weeks of no contact and finally being discovered, the big risk facing them now is that their state might descend into depression as the reality of having to wait another six months before being freed and being embraced by their loved ones. The Chilean health minister reports that currently five of the 33 miners are "more isolated, they don't want to be on the screen, they are not eating well. I would say depression is the correct word". From an NLP viewpoint we presume/know that intense feelings don't just arise, that there are typically thoughts (conscious or otherwise) that repeated, affect the states we experience and the emotions we feel. Essentially you need to create multiple embodied reference experiences for the listener to get the skills and distinctions on board. And what you habituate you get better at (even if that is a feeling you don't want), and if you do it enough times you can reproduce that thought-feeling-behaviour on cue. The five Chilean miners who are showing signs of isolation and not eating etc, may be habituating certain "negative" thoughts focusing on the fact that, although help has arrived, it will still be 180 days before they will be reunited with their families: and in the meantime they are trapped in a dark mine, and have to deal with the current monotony and uncertainty. Living in those conditions for a week would put many people into a downward state, and the miners will have to face those conditions for nearly 27 weeks, assuming they are reached within the current timetable. That kind of environment will create a unique and no doubt forever life changing learning experience for each of the miners. For the professionals whose job it is to monitor and come up with methods to keep their states optimal, for the task ahead, they will need to be clear on what the (sensory specific) goal is, what attitudes, constraints and resources each miner is bringing to the situation, along with an understanding and leveraging of the current group dynamic, and any external resources in service of the goal to ensure they keep their spirits strong. They will also need to ensure that whatever strategies they employ are adaptive to the likely changing mental, physical and emotional circumstances the miners are operating within. The same process will apply for you when you are looking to set up a learning experience for someone. You will also want to set up the sensory based context (trigger or triggers) that will fire off the desired behaviour that you want when X conditions happens. So if you want to help someone who "always" gets angry you will want to wire it up so that when X trigger occurs - Y behaviour will follow. 2\. You Need To DRIVE A Person Through The Experience You Want Them To Learn It's not enough to simply tell someone "what they should do" or indeed give them reasons why they should do it. Putting the person or persons in the right state plays a key role, and if you want a person to quickly pick up a complex skill, you need to drive them through the experience using whatever resources you have at your disposal. As NLPers, we can rely on many options from telling multiple stories that use powerful affective imagery, to having the person go through the physical experience or part of the experience several times, and every alternative in between. Richard Bandler's story about the guy who thought he was "Jesus Christ" is a good example of putting someone through a powerful learning experience to alter his behaviour, although you don't need to go to that kind of hilarious extreme. Essentially you need to create multiple embodied reference experiences for the listener to get the skills and distinctions on board. 3\. You Need To Repeat It As Many Times As Needed (Multiple Instantiations) Unless you have set up some kind of powerful 'one time learning' experience (intense state evoked and anchored to fear or pleasure) then you will most likely need to repeat the process or chunks of the process several times. Each time you run through the learning process you will have the person further instantiate the strategy they have been learning. Remember the original Karate Kid movie?, where Mr. Miyagi had Daniel wash and wax his cars?  Here's the narrative… Miyagi: Hai! \[makes circular gestures with each hand\]  Miyagi: Wax on, right hand. Wax off, left hand. Wax on, wax off. Breathe in through nose, out the mouth. Wax on, wax off. Don't forget to breathe, very important. \[walks away, still making circular motions with hands\]  Daniel was learning how to block without realising it (an example of unconscious learning) and each time he repeated the wax on, wax off and breathing process he was instantiating the strategy in his entire body, hundreds of times. If you are teaching someone to establish, change or re-engineer specific thought, feelings or behaviours you need to test at each step in the process that the person has indeed been wired up for the modified/new behaviour. This doesn't mean you ask them if they understand it, you get them to demonstrate it. And you don't always have to have them demonstrate it consciously, you can put them in the context where the "problem state" behaviour/response normally occurs and see what occurs. For example you can look to fire off the trigger for the old problem state and see if they re-access it or if they experience the newly wired up response. Mr. Miyagi tests his work with Daniel by unexpectedly striking him and Daniel instantly blocks. If you are to be sure that a person has the desired behaviour/learning wired up then you need to have them output it. Miyagi has Daniel output the skill of blocking over and over in multiple fighting contexts. Outputting is essential. Depending on the scope of what you are having the person learn (i.e. wire up neurologically) then you may want to initially arrange it in contiguous chunks of behaviour, which you can then combine into a sequence. After a person has instantiated the skill/response enough times, eventually the "scaffolding" of how they learned disappears, and they are only left with the behaviour "hard wired." Think about anything you are really good at. Can you remember exactly when, where and how you learnt each skill and sub-skill component of it? While there are many other aspects to doing behaviour modification and designing powerful learning experiences, if you apply the above five distinctions and practices you will be far more skilled in helping create changes and powerful learning experiences for yourself and others. For the adventurous NLPer, looking to learn more, you may want to pay attention to how you can use the patterns of the Meta Model to wire up powerful learning experiences, linguistically. *Everyone has something they’d like to change in their life.

Surviving Lockdown: Tips From Elite Special Forces... Another 1.5 Billion people have gone into lockdown. As of Wednesday last week, more than a third of the planet's population is under some form of restrictions. In the absence of knowledge, and being flooded by worsening news - many people respond by feeling fear and panic. But rarely do people who are scared make wise decisions. Well according to John ‘Lofty’ Wiseman, the SAS expert who wrote the book on survival and trained the SAS for years on how to survive anywhere, the answer is simple: *“The more we know the easier it is to survive. Knowledge dispels fear.”* The one thing the current crisis has taught everyone, from Presidents to Pensioners is that… And when it changes in a big way, as it has recently, that natural response is to experience shock and disbelief. We’re seeing it in the stock market, in our shops, in our leaders. According to Navy Seal legend, Don Mann (author of Inside Seal Team Six and the U.S. Navy SEAL Survival Handbook) when people feel captive… *“Most individuals engage in “magical thinking” related to rescues. They imagine some miraculous rescue occurring and “it all being over.”* *But when days turn into weeks or weeks to months, “some individuals become overwhelmed almost immediately and show little or no optimism regarding their survival options.”* Soon this mindset triggers a “hopelessness” response and after that, many slip into a state of learned helplessness. As Mann’s experience training elite operators shows: *“Individuals who perceived they were helpless … ceased to cope.”* Thankfully **we humans are a resilient and innovative bunch.** Within every crisis is a chance to not just survive but thrive when you have the right mindset and tools. And as NLPers, we’ve got many tools to take command of our mind and acquire resources wherever we need them. We can quickly adapt and apply heuristics with ease. Anytime you feel stressed or face a situation of high uncertainty, where the consequences of mis-step are significant… Get a grip on your state. Are you awfulizing? Bring your senses back to the present. Open your attention outwards What’s your desired state? What’s your present state? What resources do you have? What resources do you need? Take a deep breath and remember you’ve got through many things before. Say to yourself “I can figure out the next step. I am a resourceful person.” Which conditions can you alter and which ones cannot be changed? Are you facing any hard constraints on your actions? Determine the direction you need to go, to get to where you want. Put together your plan, organized into small doable actions. You don’t need to plan every detail at once. To begin with focus on the first set of actions needed to get moving. Then execute them promptly. As you get more information back from your environment, you can review and re-adjust your plans as you go. And remember - when you face challenges or unexpected setbacks (and there will always be some) maintain realistic optimism, improvise and be resilient. Work the problem and ask yourself: What is one thing I can do differently right now that could make this situation better? By learning to S.T.O.P. you can not just survive, but thrive in challenging situations… As always, the most important factor you can control is YOU. *Everyone has something they’d like to change in their life. I’m here to help you transform the behaviours that get in your way so you can have the life you really want.* We will never sell, share, or spam your email. Ever. See our Privacy Policy.

One Of The Very Best Questions You Can Ask Yourself Answer: Considerable mental pain and unease with oneself. Take the case of a man (John) who came to me complaining that he “didn’t have the energy to get out of bed”, was “bored in his job” and repeatedly talked “bad to myself.” From this he concluded he had low ‘self-esteem' and felt ashamed “because I have so much (good family, great job, lovely living environment) but I don’t feel happy or successful.” John contacted me because he’d “been feeling another low” and after a few trips to a counsellor he was hoping I might have a “technique” to help him “get going.” The problem John had was he had, unknowingly, floated up into the world of labels, identified those labels to himself and lost sight of how his feelings of low energy, boredom and shame had come about. In an instant and without any awareness that he was doing it; he concluded “there is something wrong with me.” This thought mutated in to a more sinister form. One that left him with an ongoing sense of unease.The label lurking in the shadows, tormenting his mind? Although it all sounds a bit sinister or serious, the issue John presented was totally normal and in today’s world of “talking heads” and B.S. obfuscating labels being banded around - totally common! In a nutshell, **John had done a number on himself unknowingly.** Through a lifetime of being exposed to label after label about human behaviour he lost all awareness between what he thought/felt/did and the impact of repeating such thoughts on his mind-body. ***One of the very best questions*** I have ever heard when it comes to helping yourself or others, came to me **from Richard Bandler.** *“What are some of the habitual questions you ask yourself?”* *“A big question that I ask all the time is… what the fuck is going on?”* Keep it running in the back of your mind when things aren’t working out or you find yourself feeling down. Something we all know but often forget is where you look from greatly effects what you will see. Whenever you have a problem or issue, ask yourself “what the fuck is going on?” first rather than reaching for a label. Observe and pay attention to what is really going on. What PROCESSES are occurring to produce the effects you are seeing in your life? They may be mental, physical, chemical, social, environmental etc. In order for whatever feelings to happen some process must be occurring. Rid yourself of using labels e.g. low self-confidence etc. and require yourself to describe what you are observing in process terms. This one simple act can transform your NLP, Hypnosis and Coaching almost overnight. In the case of John, although he was highly educated, intelligent and genuinely didn’t want to feel the way he did, he didn’t know how. He felt ‘stuck’ with these feelings with no sight of any change on the horizon. One of the reasons why he and the counselors he had seen weren’t able to change his situation was because they’d automatically accepted the LABELS of the problem. They are kind of free floating ‘voodoo’ spells accepted as 'real' and so rarely challenged. It’s obvious when I say that everything that is said is said by someone. But when we take on a label we often do so without consideration of who said it, what the really meant and under what circumstances it applies. So the labels “self-esteem”, “broken”, “failure” take on a life of their own. And become free floating ever present realities inside the mind. Banded about like they were some kind of super-power. The situation is made worse when you consider that the human mind is prone to forget that world ‘out there’ is never the world inside our mind.\[Remember the MAP is NEVER the territory.\] So it forgets that what it imagines and holds to be true; may have no basis in reality whatsoever. A person’s brain repeats the unwanted thought/label several times. (Repetition is how the brain gets things to stick, behaviours-responses to habituate.) Through the gift of self-reflection, the human mind is likely to go meta on the problem label. Links it up to all kinds of other ideas and labels. The human being who embodies all this mind gym is typically completely unaware that the idea they have about their idea… about themselves was built on a FALSE premise all along. Poor John, having built a great castle in his mind for his life, finds himself trapped in his own dungeon, totally at a loss as to how it happened. The labels, the repeated and relentless negative self-talk and looping of the pattern outside his conscious awareness, has left him feeling seemingly stuck. Thankfully for him and all of us, there is a simple intervention. A process that when you use will free yourself of all kinds of mental manure. If you are being tormented by your mind, enquire what label(s) are at play; then ask “What the fuck is going on?” to begin to kick apart the legs that have been keeping the problem in place. *Everyone has something they’d like to change in their life.

NLP is all about the study of successful behaviours. So it’s no surprise that there are a lot of patterns in NLP that are really good for working on specific outcomes. Like the app store, there are hundreds of techniques for all kinds of results. And like the app store there are really a few dozens that make up 99% of the rest. Got a fear you want to get rid of; there is a technique for that. Get anxious around your boss, there is a technique for overcoming that. Need to feel more confident for that big presentation, there’s a technique for that. Need a bucket load of charisma - you can get that too. Want to have people listen to your every word, there’s a technique for that too. Before I share ten of the most useful NLP techniques ever created, I want too establish **four key rules.** Follow these rules and you’ll get far more ‘bang’ from every technique you know. Choose the technique after you’ve figured out what result you are trying to achieve. What this means is figure out first what the desired state is first before you decide what tools/techniques you’ll use to get it. Many students jump the gun and choose a technique before they have clear idea of the desired state and even have less awareness of what the real problem is and how it works. This is asking for failure. Figure out what the desired state is first (quantify and qualify it in behavioural terms) before you whip out your NLP recipe book… When I help someone troubleshoot a problem they have with making a change, and they tell me they tried this technique or that, what I often discover is they did something other than the technique. If you are inside your mind and your inner dialogue is talking crap to and asking “is this working yet?”, then that is what you are wiring up in your mind (noise and doubt), which means you aren’t actually doing the technique! You’re baking in some other crap with it. Doing some other less potent variant of it. NLP is a precision technology; so to get the most from it use it with precision. Follow the techniques fully and as cleanly as possible. (Meaning no adding in your own natter or going off-piste.) If you are working with someone else make sure they actually follow along and do what you are saying. If you are using the tech on yourself, it will help to have someone trained guide you through the process so you can focus fully on experiencing it. Some techniques work very well for some things but will suck at others (stuff they aren’t designed to work for.) So intervening at the right place with the right tool will make all the difference. I once worked with a client who had been a smoker for 25 years, 40 cigarettes a day. It was early in my career with NLP and I was expecting to do have to do a big hypnotic ding-dong trance and have her in a room for a few hours while we made the change. During the setup I wanted to understand the structure of how she maintained the smoking habit, so I started asking her some meta-model type questions. 20 minutes in to the meet and greet I uncover a lever; she had a daughter who was coming of age and the client was worried her daughter would become like her; a chain smoking mother. A few minutes later the change work was done, no trance, no fancy techniques - by listening to how she coded her experience and paying attention to what intrinsic motivate would cause her to change, when she held it as true, I had the woman convincing she was a quitter. Intervene where there target is soft, where you can get a lever and the force of that lever being moved generates the change. This isn’t always easy, you may need to dig around a bit but generating the change will be much easier if you can find a lever which carries the desired state forward and causes the client to reorganise their own experience of themselves and who they are. You’ll need to combine multiple tools and techniques One of the biggest problems I see with how many people use (and even teach) NLP today is as a set of disparate tools and techniques. Like NLP is a mash up of ideas and little to no connection between the tools and techniques. To be fair a lot of how this cool technology works and how things connect got lost from one generation of teachers to the next with the rush to get out there and teach, which lead to some folks making “wild claims” about what NLP can do, in part to stand out and also simply to cash-in and make money. (There’s nothing wrong with making money, but making stuff up and short-changing There are very few purist, really good old school knowledgeable teachers around. They are a rare breed. If you are confused how things connect, or think about NLP as a set of disconnected tools and techniques, rid yourself of that notion. Get educated on how things really hookup, you’ll become a much more capable NLPers from it. And that can translate in to being happier, more successful, making a lot more money or whatever goal you are pursuing. Even if you have no idea how sub-modalities links to strategies or the Meta Model etc., know that they do. (I’ll cover more in a future post.) Everything connects and when it comes to using the techniques you won’t just use one technique on it’s own. You may need to use several, depending on what you are working on. And remember the techniques operates within the broader framework of NLP TOTE, presuppositions and other models. If you don’t know these or don’t know how to work with the TOTE model then take the time to learn it because it’s at the heart of everything you do with NLP (and makes troubleshooting issues much easier, both in real life and in personal change contexts). **#1:** Choose the technique after after you’ve figured out what result you are trying to achieve **#4:** You may need to combine multiple techniques in succession I introduced the 4 golden rules to live by if you want to be far more effective with the techniques of NLP. Now, I want to share the **ten of the most useful techniques you can learn in NLP**. Although there are well over 300 documented techniques, the vast majority can be cut down to a few dozen core techniques upon which all the others are a variant of. For example the swish pattern (#5 in our top ten list) is used in several other patterns including the kinaesthetic swish, the belief swish, the advanced swish, the self-esteem pattern, the cyber-porn addition removal pattern etc. Once you understand the ‘moves’ behind how a pattern works you are able to quickly see where the overlaps occur and come up with new variations for the challenges you face. In choosing which ten patterns would make my list, I decided to choose based on ease of use, practical nature (i.e.how many diverse applications it can be applied to) and how easy it is to use in everyday life. I also choose the original variant of the pattern before it got sliced in to other patterns, so when you learn these ten you actually are in a good position to master the rest with a little bit of work. You are a human. So am I. We interact with other humans - which invariably means there will be drama, emotions and sometimes upsets. The state interrupt pattern gives us a powerful tool to stop run-away states, break up conflict, de-escalate tension. Make sure to add it to your tool-box. A day doesn’t go by without me using this. Perfect tool for working with yourself, as a parent, people helper or leader. This is a super cool pattern and doesn’t require a Ph.D in NLP to use effectively. For a long time people have talked about their feelings in visceral sense, “I feel dread in the pit of my stomach”, “i’m so excited I could wet myself!” or “I’m so in love… I feel like I’m floating on cloud nine!” The spinning feelings pattern recognises that feelings don’t just stop and go dormant, they must move! So when someone says they are frustrated, angry, overjoyed - things that sound like an event, what is actually happening is the person (often outside their awareness) is doing the activity of generating frustration, angry, joy which is then felt in the body. The more they repeat it the better their body becomes at creating and maintaining the feeling. With the spinning feelings pattern we want to know where that feeling starts, how it moves, where it goes. By changing the direction of the spinning pattern you can radically alter how the feeling changes (or if you want to make it stronger.) With this one wonder pattern you can tackle a wide range of ‘stuck’ problems and amplify good feelings. You never have to feel permanently crap again and don’t have to wait till ‘flow’ arrives to get in to a a powerful resourceful state. There are actually several patterns that fall under the category of anchoring and all are worth learning. However for sheer fun and usefulness learning how to collapse an anchor is one of those patterns I’ve used over and over again with clients, friends and myself. In case you are wonder, remind me again Tom, what is anchoring? Anchoring is the process of learning, it’s how two things get linked together in our neurology. With it you can break problematic patterns or trigger off a resourceful state exactly when you need it. Collapsing an anchor is where you bring together two states, typically a state-response that a person finds limiting e.g. fear when around their boss and introduce a powerful resource state(s) e.g. belly busting laughter at the exact moment they begin to experience the ‘problem emotion. By having the body experience the two at the same time, it force the person’s neurology to reorganise itself, to a neutral or positive state. So in this case, the laughter washes over the fear and the person just laughs at their old self being ‘scared’ of the boss. Done right, it works remarkably well. And of course you can ‘add’ additional states to build on the new feelings anytime you like. Few patterns give you as much bang for your buck as the sub-modality change pattern. This wonder pattern can be used to blow things up (in your mind!) or shrink away your fears. It’s a swiss-army knife pattern when you understand how it works. The sub-modality pattern is used in countless other patterns because it’s so darn good and key to reorganising how a person experiences their reality. Applications include: Changing beliefs, installing confidence, breaking apart negative self-image, reducing stress, getting over loss, building motivation etc. Now wouldn’t that be nice pattern to pull in closer to your toolbox? Remember Humpty-Dumpty? Well turns out he had something to do with NLP. Well… not quite but if you know about him you’ll get this pattern in no time. As much as people would like to think they got their stuff together, that they run their emotions and free choice completely, more and more people realise that this ain’t so. Our mind-body gets caught on a loop and sometimes the same pattern of behaviour (thought, emotion or action) occurs over and over again. And it seems to be beyond our control. The threshold pattern, also known as the compulsion blowout is the your tool of choice for getting the person’s mind-body utterly fed up with doing the same old thing that’s wearing them out (slowly) or that isn’t serving them. Just like Humpty-Dumpty we want to break the problematic pattern so it can never be put back together that way again. This is final installment of this mini-series on my top ten most useful NLP techniques to learn. I’ve always been a practical person so while techniques like the ‘Fast Phobia Cure’ are very useful if you’ve got someone who is a phobic… I don’t run into phobics in my everyday life that often. Sure, there are plenty of people who have various anxiety issues that elements of this pattern and others can help with, so I’m guessing you don’t have the need to use a fast phobia cure that often. Hence it’s not made my top 5 list. Even though it’s one every NLP practitioner should learn. Six step reframe doesn’t make the list either. There are better ways of getting the same result. Or the good old ‘Circle of excellence’ which is a nifty pattern but again not something I would use (certainly overtly) in a business or everyday interpersonal context.So drum-roll, here are my top 5 techniques I think are really useful to learn: Over the years timelines has grown in to a whole class of sub-patterns that are very effective in helping us create change and enhance a person’s life. Timelines give you a powerful way to let go of emotional pain without the drama, transform old stories and install new ways of feeling a bright future, long after the changes work has ended. By having a person access their felt-sense of time and hallucinating a timeline, we can help them interact with memories of events, access old resources, seed changes back in their ‘past’ and generalise those changes all the ways through to the present and beyond… for transformative change.As Richard Bandler so eloquently put it… Many people think of timelines as an overt visual change tool, but you can actually use them covertly and conversationally, which makes them incredibly powerful tool for change, persuasion and helping others. This little gem comes from the Meta Model and is actually one of 12 patterns that are part of that model. Do I recommend you learn them all? Sure, but I also know that some people won’t be interested in that. The mind-reading pattern is one of those patterns that can transform a situation. Years ago I realised that a huge difference between those who can solve problems quickly and those who don’t was often down to the quality of their thinking. If you’ve framed the problem incorrectly or you don’t even realise you’ve accepted someone else’s frame on an issue that is wrong, you are going try to come up with solutions for a problem that doesn’t exist, or even if implemented, won’t fix the real problem. The mind-reading pattern asks a simple but powerful question: “How do you know?”  (or a variation of it.) This question causes the person to recover how they ‘know’ something to be true. It informs you about what is on a person’s map. That map could be your own thinking, a friend’s, your colleagues, your Doctor’s etc. By focusing on this one linguistic pattern you begin to join them in their model of the world and  can use this one pattern as a powerful technique for change and transformation. Best of all you can use it anywhere, and it has multiple other uses in persuasion and trance… Wouldn’t it be nice to direct your mind to go where you want it to, on cue? When a text pops in, instead of checking out your phone, imagine if your brain took that as a trigger to refocus on what you are working on. Or when you wake up in the morning instead of hitting the snooze button, you find yourself jumping out of bed ready to hit to gym. The swish pattern makes it possible. It allows us to switch our brain to do this “positive thing” instead of that “unhelpful thing”, without conscious intervention. It’s so good, you’ll find this mega pattern used in many other NLP processes. Learn one, master many… This pattern is so good, Richard and John wrote a whole book on it. It’s so useful in everyday use that it earned my #2 spot. Reframing is the process of changing the frame-of-reference someone uses to order to change the meaning. Framing can happen at a both verbal and non-verbal level. We can reframe the content or the context for near infinite combinations.So magical are frames that to the untrained eye and ear they are invisible, they are simply felt. They shape and control the thoughts of billions every day. And the fascinating thing is we are all framing things, all the time. A great communicator uses framing to create new meanings and new realities and to break apart limiting ones. Need to kick the legs off an unhelpful idea, why not deframe it. Worried about how to approach a pay rise with your boss? No problem, pre-frame it to him as “a performance reward” session. Boss accepts you’ve earned it but rejects the rise on the grounds of “limited budgets”, out-frame his frame and show how it’s possible with counter-framing examples. There are so many useful roles reframing can serve it’s one every student should master. There are several that could of made the top spot including the “Act as if” pattern, “Change personal history” or “New behaviour generator” etc. Each would be good contenders that can have major generative change on your life. However intentional self-anchoring clinched the top spot because it’s results are so immediate, it takes very little effort to setup and your ability to anchor yourself or trigger an anchor is always available. Why do I say intentional? Because you are already anchoring yourself all the time. If remember to turn off the light at night when you walk out of a room, you have created a anchor for yourself. When you self-anchor, you create a reminder in your nervous system, that says when I do this, do that. It allows you to evoke a desired resource state on cue. To teach your brain to chunk ‘this’ signal with ‘that’ response. For example it’s like saying; “Brain when I ‘karate chop’ my right hand into my left palm then call up a strong state of confidence and let that emotion flood through my body.” Repeat the self-anchoring process a few times and BAM it’s ready to roll for you. Further when you are good at doing this for yourself, it’s easy to anchor others, steel other people’s anchors and become a person of influence even with people you’ve just met. Self-anchoring gives you the chance to quickly train and retrain your mind-body to start doing more of the states you want. To access more of the resources you want.So there you have my top 10 most useful technique to learn. You’ve come a long way in developing real skill with the technology and more importantly with developing the tools to change your life in any way you want. You won’t need a shrink to help you overcome run-of-the-mill trauma, a coach to get you ‘motivated’ or a guru to tell you how to live your life. You’ll be able to set your own sails. Row when you have to… or fly to wherever you’d like to go. Be who you want to be and as with all of the techniques in NLP, have much more CHOICE about how you experience this wonderful, sometimes mind boggling experience we all call ‘being alive’. Are there other techniques you should learn? Sure there is always more to learn and many other great techniques that didn’t make the top ten cut. Pick up one you’re not familiar with from this list and get really familiar with it. As I sign off I’m reminded of a quote Steve Jobs once wished some graduates of Stanford in 2005 that I’d like to wish for you.Over to Steve… *“When I was young, there was an amazing publication called “The Whole Earth Catalog,” which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960’s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.* *Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.”*  *It was their farewell message as they signed off.* ***Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.****”* I wish the same for you.Learning and using NLP is an adventure.A really wonderful one… *Everyone has something they’d like to change in their life. I’m here to help you transform the behaviours that get in your way so you can have the life you really want.* [How Do You Know If Your NLP Is Working When You're Doing It](https://boysenberry1088901.brizy.site/articles-intermediate-how-do-you-know) We will never sell, share, or spam your email.

You see all of the above are long standing myths or errors in their presentation but that sound real. In fact most people still teach them as real. These and many others, are the kind of myths that cause no end of confusion around getting really good with NLP. They did for me. In fact, possibly like you, I've consumed tens of thousands of pages from many NLP authors that said as such. And what do you think happens when you treat something as REAL? Well for most of us … it usually means we CAN'T see it another way. Our mental filters become fixed, stuck and unless something comes along and jars it you are not likely to ever notice it as any different. And something worse happens .. you also adopt the limitations of that worldview . And you also, as so many others have done, install in others the same limitation! So for example by thinking that you only use the Meta Model to drill down to get more sensory specific answers you don't realise that you can use it as an elegant tool for persuasion and installation… If the unconscious is "real" then where is it? No one has ever empirically proved there is anything called an unconscious. Yet we accept is as "real". When you adopt the worldview, you take both sides of it ... the limitations and the benefits. And sometimes the limitations can keep you stuck or be less effective with it than you might otherwise be. I know that some members reading this might think that this is heresy. But before anyone starts flaming, stop and think about what Richard Bandler once shared with me… *"Be distrustful of feeling right if you can't alter something quickly and easily … \[The most important distinction for NLPers to get about NLP\] is to shut up the f\*\*\* up inside their head.  That thinking about skills that you're supposed to perceive is a BIG mistake."* Now so we are clear, let me review some of the statements I made earlier so you get where I am coming from… If the unconscious is "real" then where is it? No one has ever empirically proved there is anything called an unconscious. Yet we accept is as "real". The terms conscious, unconscious and sub-conscious are mental constructs we use to talk about processes that we believe are occurring. And they can be handy metaphors but aren't literally true, to the best of any person's knowledge. Anchoring is not stimulus response conditioning because it doesn't take into account one time learning experiences, of which a functional anchor is an example. Strategies are a model, a description we (NLPers) use to describe processes that we note to be occurring in others. It doesn't reflect everything that is going on inside of someone when they are .. making a decision, buying, feeling attracted etc .. but it is a very powerful tool we have for doing all kinds of effective work.Yet if you think that "strategies" are inside of people, you can quickly start over-focusing on eliciting the strategy and not see the human being in front of you! Meta States - this will be a hot potato I suspect, but these aren't real either. Why? Well think about it, a meta state is a linguistic description about a neurological process. The term itself is a consequence of trying to language a neurological process. The body is a whole and integrated system. If I am sad, and you ask me, "how do you feel about being sad?" .. there are lots of things involved .. it presupposes that I have a feeling about my first feeling "sad" and so sends my attention inwards to do a TDS and to now label a new feeling to my first experience. Bingo, if I follow along I now have a new linguistic description to describe my experience. I might say, "well I feel annoyed about being sad" and a 'meta state' has been formed ... or has it? One can repeat this process several times and come up with a chain of meta questions "how do you feel about being X, about feeling Y, about feeling Z?" and very quickly you have created a whole linguistic world … and specific feelings that come with that line of meta-thinking, but ultimately in the body it is experienced as ONE state. Personally for me I don't mind what "new inventions" or ideas anyone comes up with but it is important that we keep a perspective, and that our meanings about 'what is what' and 'what is stuff we make up' remain clear so we don't trip ourselves into distorted worldviews that have little to do with what is going on 'out there'. If we don't regularly test our thinking (and the Meta Model is a great tool for that), we risk getting caught inside our own or someone else's mentally invented worldviews … and suffer the consequences .. and rewards (assumedly the new models were found by some to be better that what they had before). Change Your Thinking & Be A Practitioner Of The Changes The field of NLP is constantly changing and updating but only inside the minds and community of those who are constantly challenging their thinking about it and testing the results they can get. There is A LOT more to the elegant use of the Meta Model for example, that masters of the field can do today, than what Richard and John wrote in the Structure of Magic. From what I can see, neither of the founders have stopped developing and refining what they are doing with their own take on the technology. However, after spending years reading, learning, and practicing NLP, I've realised that in the majority we seem to be suffering over-theorisation about NLP and that is why I co-founded the Platinum Audio News Club: To approach learning and getting really good with the technology of NLP with minimum theory and have to Master Trainer Michael Breen lead the program as someone who has been on the inside track of NLP, part of a small group of "old school" NLPers who are constantly challenging and updating their thinking about technology for circa twenty-five years.

It is also one of the most interesting and absorbing trainings that I have attended. I am beginning to be asked to give more public talks and this course was ideal to see what I'm doing right and what I need to either do, or do more of.”* *“There is so much information in this course \[Perpetual Progress\].* *This training should be compulsory for anyone who has completed a Master prac course and wished to embark on an NLP trainer training. And it should be compulsory for every NLP trainer.”* *“Want to get a fresh look at what NLP is and how it can transform your life and other areas of it? Want to take your skills to the next level?* *Then take courses offered by O'connor and Breen (sounds like a Law firm).* *The knowledge they deliver is worth waaay more than what they are charging!”* *“ Tom & Michael continue to deliver what could be conceived to be complicated content in an easy to understand relaxed fashion. The approach of Tom prompting Michael with targeted questions, and Michael's conversational replies, and his expansion on the subject continue to deliver cutting edge, affordable training along with unique insights into the "modern" world of NLP. ”* *"I read a lot of NLP books and other material. This is by far the best material that has helped me evolve my skills to a new level of understanding and application. Most NLPers sell NLP as a quick-fix-cure of all things. I really enjoy the no B.S attitude of the trainers and the content. I look forward to the new edition every month. Thank you!"* We will never sell, share, or spam your email. Ever.
