What Can You Give?
The idea of giving to gain is sometimes frowned upon. It is surely much better to give without agenda, just for the sake of being a jolly good fellow! Marketing gurus would disagree. They have learned that in order to effectively sell to committed customers they fist have to give them something for nothing. Usually ... (Read More)

New Year, New Rules
I recently had a coaching session in which I was talking about some new ideas for my business. During the session I asked the coach what I should pay in commission to a sales person (I wanted to know if there was a basic acceptable rate) and to my surprise he said “It’s up to ... (Read More)

Being Human
Being Human I’m (as I wrote this) in the middle of an NLP Practitioner course. It’s brilliant. I love it. I love that it is full of such effortlessly simple ways of thinking to improve your results. One of the challenges that tends to come up on a course like this though, is how people ... (Read More)

The Power of Good Negotiation
In NLP there is a way of thinking about information by it’s level of abstraction. There are various different questions we can ask to take any idea, concept or thing and find out what the higher purpose of it is, or what specific elements contribute to it. We call this chunking and use chunking up ... (Read More)

Hats
I’d like to thank someone who was once upon a time almost my brother, for prompting me (without realizing) to write this article. The fact that he was almost my brother once upon a time, is a story in itself by we’ll leave that for another day. I received an email today asking me how ... (Read More)

The Focus of Your Energy
It’s relatively logical to assume that wherever you direct your energy, there will be increase and growth. The challenge is directing that energy towards the things that you want to grow, and not the things that are bothering or irritating you. Perhaps you have had some sort of negative experience in the past that caused ... (Read More)

Using Your Voice
Having spent the weekend coaching public speakers, it makes sense for me to talk about something a little public speaker-ish! So I’d like to introduce you to a charismatic AVK sequence. NLP highlights how people can have preferred sensory preferences. Some people are visual and like to receive information and learn from what they can ... (Read More)

Making Effective Decisions
Having the ability to make decisions (and stick to them once they have been made) is an incredibly rewarding ability if viewed from the correct perspective and if separated from stubbornness. When you make decisions for yourself, you are telling the rest of the world that you posses a degree of certainty, conviction and self ... (Read More)

A Natural Swish
Partly the reason why I write this article is because I have started to notice how a swish pattern didn’t come about by chance and how, we as human beings seem to already have the Swish system integrated in our minds. A swish pattern is very useful for replacing negative states and behaviours with more ... (Read More)

But I Know a Man Who Can!
Last year when I was feeling particularly overworked, I went to visit a relatively well know therapist who is famous for having performed past life regression therapy on various celebrities. Although I didn’t see the therapist for this kind of therapy specifically, it did crop up in our session together and I was taken back ... (Read More)

Using Failure As An Excuse
One of the key things I tell my clients time and time again is that the difference between successful people and those that are “failures” is that successful people do not believe their own excuses. They just don’t believe them. As I write this article, I have just finished training 5 people as NLP4Kids practitioners. ... (Read More)

Broken Bones and Hypnosis
I’m going to tell you about something I don’t think I’ve told you about before. (I’ve potentially mentioned it in the podcast.) And I know how you love stories…….. About 4 years ago, I fractured my ankle. It was something that was just meant to happen. The odds were highly stacked against me. I was ... (Read More)

Do We Ever Really Change?
How much do we really change? This is a question that came into my mind this week when I heard someone mention that old saying “a leopard never changes its spots.” We know that from 0-7 years are imprint years that make a staggering difference on who we become and the values we then form ...

Independant Minds Are Happy Minds
Recently I’ve been working with a child who was having some troubles with eating her lunch at school. Right before lunch time she would feel hungry, then upon arriving at the canteen she would lose her appetite. She said she felt the canteen was dirty and uncomfortable and she just didn’t want to eat when ... (Read More)

Stay Motivated to Lose Weight
Weight loss clients are by far the trickiest clients to help (in my opinion) because no matter what work you do to change their attitude and feelings towards food, they still have to wait to see the real results- the decrease in their size and shape. The fact that this doesn’t occur over night, can ... (Read More)

Moving When You’re Stuck
Something I regularly tell those who are experiencing a dip in their levels of motivation is that in order to be motivated, you must be moving. It’s a bit of a shame really that one cannot go full throttle from a stationary position, but if you think about it, nothing ever really does. Even the ... (Read More)

Anxiety-The New Stress?
I’m not too sure how long ago it was when the word “stress” seemed to arrive in the English language like a fashion accessory that everybody had, but it seems to me that there is currently a new trend of those presenting the problem of anxiety. I have around 5 patients at the moment who ... (Read More)

Brain Trauma from Negative Emotions

It is a truly fascinating subject. The key thing that strikes me when reading about this subject- and I have not ... (Read More)

Feel Some “Never Again”
Over the weekend I attended an advanced NLP training course where Richard Bandler and John La Valle were both teaching. Lots of the course was made up of content previously at Practitioner and Master Practitioner level, but it was well worth attending just for the snippets of NLP gold that effortlessly fall from Richard Bandlers ...
