Here’s a great article posted in The Guardian today, discussing the issue I’m quite familiar with – soldiers experiencing post-traumatic stress after active participation in combat. I post here only a quote from the mid section of the article, which gives NLP a little bit of credit... 

I often ask people in the seminars that we give, before beginning to teach strategies, “How many people used a strategy today?” I’m interested in how many people will raise their hand, and how many won’t, and usually only a few people raise their hand, because people typically... 

Contributed In 2005 By: Howard Huges, Marketing Professional Writing a marketing plan is essential if you’d like your NLP business to prosper and succeed. Making money as a therapist or as a trainer, even if you have an advantage of knowing the persuasion skills of NLP, still you would need a definite... 

This concept is also a major one when it comes to persuasion. It has evolved out of the psychological observation, that every single person is actually self absorbed. When it comes to self help, we can understand why we behave a certain way or have certain thoughts, even though we don’t want those... 

There are very few books which made a very prominent effect in my mind, and this is definitely one of them. If you’re man (or if you’re a woman who wants to finally understand the man in your life), this should be on your immediate read list. The book is “Absent Fathers, Lost Sons”... 

  By far, this is the strangest motivation strategy I have ever elicited. I had to go through the elicitation process twice, because I simply couldn’t believe it. I tried it myself, and obviously – it worked. But I am surely not going to try it out again. At first, I thought that my friend... 

One of our most appreciated moderator and contributor has produced a wonderful broadcast on practical NLP. He did it EXACTLY the way I like it – without fluff and with a whole lot of heart.  Five, half-hour, recorded NLP programs, the ebook, “NLP – The Hobby Approach” and the... 

The victim’s statements list is a great tool to stop the self defeating mantras you tell yourself and others on a habitual basis. These statements put your mind in a looser state, creating nothing more than contempt to whatever challenge life is offering you. If you recognize yourself within the list,... 

If you’ve been reading last year, you may have encounter the series of articles I posted about self-motivation/productivity (I think it was called, “feel the passion, build the skill” or something similar). The blog archives were messed up when we did the upgrade, so for now I can’t... 

…another old post from the blog… This morning (almost 2 years ago) I received an email. In that email, a young woman asked me if I have ever changed anything about myself with NLP, and if so – how does it feel after doing such a change? That is the most amazing question I have ever... 

More and more I read posts (in non-nlpweekly forums) on a relatively popular subject – the quality of NLP trainings, and the lack of professionalism that spreads through many of those.  Almost always, I read a question from a new comer to the field, asking why nobody is regulating the quality... 

For a leader, honesty and integrity are absolutely essential to survival. A lot of business people don’t realize how closely they’re being watched by their subordinates. Remember when you were a kid in grammar school, how you used to sit there staring at your teacher all day? By the end of... 

Neuro Linguistic Programming is all about beliefs.  Hypnosis is all about beliefs.  Self improvement and any kind of self help is (effectively) directed to help you change some or many of your beliefs.  NLP is not everything in life… but your beliefs, whether you like it or not, are! When we... 

Now we’re getting into stuff they teach you in the master practitioner course. That’s why I said way back that it is not exactly the tipical NLP course you could take elsewhere. We’re mixing everything so that you won’t have to remember words like “sensory aquity”... 

How easy could it be to control your own mind, to change your behavior instantly, to get better at anything you want, to think faster, to come up with bright ideas, to be fully motivated and active and resourceful and happy… A better question, I think, could be: how much easier could it really get? NLP... 

At least once we have to say something about leverage. Leverage is when you make your hill stiffer and point your snowball to its edge… and then, give it a little push.  When it comes to modifying or improving your own behavior, leverage is essential, unless your desire to change is due to unbearable...
