Markets Tumble, People Stumble, and How NLP Helps You Get Up Again

Stopping by the office last Friday the phones were ringing and things were hopping. Unusual for a Friday afternoon, that’s for sure, but then interest has been up a lot lately. So I picked up a call and had a great (and to me classic) conversation with someone who, like you, is interested in how NLP could help them next. I say a classic call because it followed one of three standard paths. 1) There’s

Confidence & Criticism – New Video; Science Discovers Time

Beginning this new year I find myself with an abundance of riches to share with you. This week we have two great videos and an essay. Along with the complete “Responding to Criticism” process from our Practitioner Program I’m posting a link to a great video from the TED conference on the subjective aspects of time, and an essay on professionalism in NLP: Developed by Steve Andreas and presented here by Tom Best, the Responding

The Lies About How To Tell If A Person Is Lying To You

One of the great misunderstandings of NLP is the misuse of eye accessing cues to asses truthiness. In this essay Susan Stageman, one of our contributors and a long time NLP Trainer, explains it for you. If you missed it, last week’s video is fixed. You can catch it here: http://www.nlpco.com/library/nlp-video/anchoring-tb I’ll have more for you as the software permits… 😉 Cheers, and may the New Year be your best ever! Tom Dotz PS: You

Another Way To Un-Stick Someone’s Mind

We have a follow up to last week’s story “How to Lubricate A Mind” by Tom Hoobyar. This story is another great example of how surprisingly simple using NLP can be. In this story Tom blends two NLP models, language and submodalities, seamlessly and easily. This is also a very graceful and accessible explanation of the “Submodalities” model – one of the most important models that make up NLP. The Submodality model is the basis

The Vision Grabbed Us One Day

Our world today is on the cusp of an incredibly exciting and precarious time – one in which people are increasingly questioning and seeking a life of meaning, purpose, and contribution. There is a greater call for both sincere intention and depth of skill to facilitate a higher quality life and work experience – for individuals, their teams, and their organizations. We see a great need for leaders and people who can effectively guide transformation

Positive Intention and Adolescence

“I can’t wait to figure out what’s wrong with me, so I can say ‘This is the way that I used to be.’ “ John Mayer, Split Screen Sadness I want to tell you about a really good day. One of those experiences that lingered and energized me for several days that followed. It’s hard not to be inspired from the moment you wake up to a perfect Colorado Fall “Opposite” day: Crisp AND warm. Trees a

Dreams and Rotten Tomatoes

This week’s blog is not a typical NLP teaching tool. You’ve been fairly warned. The big election in the U.S. has heated up discussions about emotional topics like our unwelcome presence in Iraq, our limp economy, and our impact on global warming. What business do politics have in a blog about NLP? Our nation seems insatiably fascinated by fear and bad news. The unintended side effect of our addiction to who, what, when, where,

Reality Bites … Good Feedback Rules

Reality Bites … Good Feedback Rules If you want to make your dreams come true, the first thing you have to do is wake up. ~J.M. Power If feedback is the breakfast of champions, I want protein. The kind that sticks with me and sustains my energy. Feedback is the DNA of learning. Feedback is what sets apart the “good” from the “great.” The more friendly we are toward feedback, the more likely we will

A Strategy For Responding to Criticism

Along with this week’s story about benefiting from feedback I thought it appropriate to include this gem from “The NLP Portable Practitioner Training” Section 4, Strategies. It’s generally useful when dealing with feedback to have a really good strategy for discerning feedback from attack and for dealing with it effectively. A Strategy for Responding to Criticism (Developed by Steve Andreas) Step 1: Install this strategy in a dissociated state. “See yourself out there in front
