Motivation is unreliable and often arrives too late.
With NLP, you can design your state on purpose using physiology, focus, and language.
Anchoring gives you the ability to access confidence, calm, or energy exactly when you need it.
State design turns waiting for motivation into taking control of your results.
Imagine a single word that can lower resistance, activate the senses, and inspire real change.
In NLP, that word is “imagine,” and it works by engaging the unconscious mind to create vivid, motivating internal experiences.
From coaching and leadership to parenting and conflict resolution, learning to use “imagine” can transform the way you influence and connect.
You can’t change someone who’s defending their current reality — but NLP gives you the keys.
By using tools like agreement frames, outcome framing, and sleight of mouth, you can soften resistance and create safety for change.
When you shift the frame, you don’t force breakthroughs — you invite them, and that’s where lasting influence begins.
NLP doesn’t actually stop working – but it can feel like it when change doesn’t stick.
The real issue is often moving from learning techniques to living the transformation.
By focusing on ecology, identity, and integration, you can turn NLP from a short-term fix into a lasting way of thinking and being.
Emotional intelligence isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you can train.
Using NLP tools like anchoring, perceptual positions, and precision language, you can build EQ from the ground up.
Learn how to shift from reacting to responding—and develop emotional skills that transform your relationships, leadership, and self-awareness.
My youngest daughter, Hannah, is 17 and has been working on finding her way in the world. She is busy being an entrepreneur and working hard to share her message that yes, one person can make a difference. She is also directionally challenged, so the whole experience of driving has been, shall we say, interesting? Well, in late August 2015 she was driving home from having brunch with a friend and she was hit by
Are you enjoying the season? Recently I’ve seen a lot of posts on social media reminding people that the seasons don’t change until September 22. It seems, as is human nature, people are rushing the next change! We seem to want to grow up when we’re young, can’t wait for the holidays, or a vacation, or the summer months…whatever it is, human nature seems to be to rush things. I, for one, try very hard
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about motivation and excellence. I’m not sure if that’s because my youngest recently graduated from high school so her future is on my mind a lot, if it has to do with the Olympics, or if it’s just a theme for me right now. Whatever the reason, it’s definitely been front of mind lately! The Olympics were on in my house an awful lot while they were taking place.
Happy Tuesday! Weather is warming up a bit here, at least for a little while, and I have been busy baking and enjoying Autumn smells. My home is filled with smells of apple and pumpkin and I am enjoying getting to read by the fire. I’m sure by mid-January I will be ready for warmer weather, but for now I am loving spending more time indoors, eating soup and reading books. This week I’ve had
Subtle Skills for Building Rapport Using Neuro-Linguistic Programming in the Interview Room By VINCENT A. SANDOVAL, M.A., and SUSAN H. ADAMS, M.A. FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin Mark Hamilton, a seasoned detective, slowly opens the door to the interview room. The witness to the drive-by shooting sits leaning forward in a chair with her head in her hands. Normally, Mark bellows out his introduction to establish immediate control, but not this time.
