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

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,

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

The Good Guys

Last week, we shared Coach Lisa’s exercise on the “Inside Family.” Today, I want to share her process on building a more supportive “soundtrack” for your life.  I call it “The Good Guys.” Even those of us who are Master NLP’ers still have self-talk that we are largely unaware of, that is not positive and supportive. Disciplining yourself to a daily practice of befriending your inner self pays off big! The alternative is like driving

The Inside Family: Getting What You Want More Easily

One of our coaches told me the following story, and I thought it was such a great fit with Labor Day I asked her to write it up for you.  Those of you familiar with NLP will appreciate the elegant use of this familiar model in a specific context. Some years ago, a good friend of mine and I were discussing change. The really big kind. He had just lost his job and he wanted

You Can’t Lose Bad Habits?

Lately I have noticed with increasing frequency and delight the number of instances of discoveries and principles and understandings first generated in the field of NLP that are now becoming known and verified by mainstream Western science. It was in NLP that the understanding that people

The Myth and Reality of Opportunities in NLP

In 1990 I founded what became the most successful NLP start up in the country. In just four years we had the largest NLP programs of their kind in the US, and 18 years later that company is still going strong. So I frequently am asked what kind of professional and business opportunities are there in NLP.   You can find a tremendous amount
