Crabb I have just finished working with two corporate clients; they are brothers who run a very successful vehicle breakdown and recovery service. For the first time in a series of coaching appointments they have arrived on time and have completed the tasks given to them between coaching sessions. Which is just as well; as had they been late this time or had they arrived without completing their tasks it would have been their last session working with me…the rule I have is “three times and your out.”? read more “How

“Agree
to Disagree” – Contributor: Steve Crabb You
can not … not be influenced can you? I
was recently invited to give a talk to a group of NLP practitioners, Master
practitioners and NLP trainers on the “Art and Science of Persuasion and
Influence”. The challenge when presenting such a topic is that the subject
means so many different things to so many people, (the map after all is not the
territory is it!) so when planning the talk it was important to factor in to my
presentation that what the group wanted and needed on the evening would probably
be totally different to what I had planned so I decided that the best way to
prepare for the evening was to not plan it ahead of time.
How do we improve our skills to influence? Over the years I have had a number of career moves although one main theme throughout has been my ability to “get on with” people. Today that would be classified as my being able to get into rapport with people. “It’s
about time isn’t it?”–
Contributor: Steve Crabb Have
you ever noticed how time flies when your having fun? Today is Easter Sunday and this
morning we had the traditional Easter egg hunt. Every year we hide lots of
chocolate eggs throughout the house and garden and for the special ones (read
expensive ones) there are riddles to work out in order to find them. The riddles
have been getting more cryptic and the hiding places more creative as my
children grow up. They love it and it is a family
tradition, we have been doing for years; well 3 years exactly. Although for my
children that is nearly half a life time for my boy Ben and a quarter of a life
time for my girls. They talk about how we do this every year as if it’s been
going on for ever and to them it has been but from my perspective it’s a blink
of an eye. Wake

to notice the things you hadn’t noticed before now….train your Reticular
Activating System to begin to notice what’s good. I was driving into work this
morning thinking about some themes for an article for this month’s newsletter.
I parked my car and went into the newsagents to buy a paper; I got back into my
car and was reviewing last night and whether to use the Michael Neill event at
Alternatives as a central theme. I am off to LA in a few weeks time to help
Michael and Paul McKenna with the life transforming super coach programme they
are running and he is after all coming to see the practice group on May the 7th
so it could provide lots of ideas for an article on coaching, personal
enhancement or creating success from the inside out. I was sitting in the
drivers seat gazing out of the window considering some of the options when I
realised I was staring straight at a woman taking her duck for a walk.
Proactive Pronoia
– Contributor: Steve Crabb Don't
let the bastards get you down or how to stay up, up , up in a down down world.. I
had arrived early for work, with an hour to spare before seeing my first client
I decided to go to the local café over the road from my clinic for a cup of
coffee and a bacon sandwich. I don’t remember the last time I had visited the
place, I usually use the plush Italian deli coffee shop with the nice rich
espresso coffee and the delicious pastries but unfortunately it was the time of
day when the mothers gather with the baby rug rats and take over the place. What
I really wanted was a bit of space to read my book and relax before starting
work and the quiet submodalaties of the greasy spoon were far better by
comparison then the noisy screechy submodalaties of the Italian deli/crèche.
Some
useful tips to help you when working with children. Having
had quite a few requests from parents who are looking for help for their
children, some from parents who have taken their children to other therapists
and been disappointment with the outcomes I have been thinking about guidelines
for working with children. When
setting up my therapy practice some 10 years or so ago I had a picture in my
mind of my clientele and this did not include children.
However, as I began to specialise in working with Fertility issues and
helping women achieve painless childbirth it seemed to be assumed that I would
also work with children. I

Death
by PowerPoint
– Contributor: Tina Taylor How to start planning a presentation that will be of interest, inspire and be memorable. Your ability to communicate is the
single most important factor in your professional tool bag.
People who make a difference, who inspire others and get promoted are
usually those who are excellent communicators.
People who are able to present ideas clearly and convincingly, able
motivate and captivate their audience. The need to communicate is even
greater in today’s fast changing workplace; information sharing is becoming
the responsibility of many and not just the executives.
Of all the ways you communicate the greatest opportunity you have to make
an impact is in the presentation. My
Experiences of TFT

Contributor:
Tina
Taylor Tina tells you about the origins of TFT and how it is a useful tool to add to your NLP toolbox of skills When Steve and I discussed
running a seminar to help you achieve better results when working with people to
help them let go of their fears and anxieties; I began to think how best to make
use of my experience and expertise to help you improve your success rates.
I use a variety of techniques when working with my clients; including NLP, EMDR
and TFT (Thought Field Therapy). Twenty three years ago, I
studied Kinesiology, which is simply the study of muscles and their movements
especially as applied to physical conditioning. By using Kinesiology you
can find out if something adversely affects the body for example; checking to
see if there are any allergic reactions to foods. To do this you put the
food in question to a person’s cheek or stomach and test a couple of the
muscle’s in the arm (these muscles have a connection to the stomach) and if
the food causes an allergic reaction the muscles test weak. The History of Hypnosis – Contributor: Tina Taylor This is an article on the History of Hypnosis

explains how to ask great questions to change thought processes. John
is a magical performer who lifts the lid on all the real secrets What does rapport mean? With my entertainers hat
on, as a magic man, purveyor of illusion or entertainer, well to him it means
getting people into the right place, to lead them with the use of suggestion and
influence, with the aim of creating entertainment. Leading people to become a
part of an unforgettable experience, leading people into a fun and exciting
place for a little escapism and that is what entertainment should be. The
reason for gaining rapport with people is to lead them, whether its the
purchasing of goods or services or to lead them in the relinquishing of fears
and anxieties, toward the gaining of confidence and motivation or indeed for any
other purpose.
Logical
Levels and Rapport
– Contributor: Steve Crabb Notice
how rapport is relevant in Environment, Behaviour, Capabilities, Beliefs and at
an Identity level. I have heard rapport
described in many ways, “Trust and Harmony in a relationship”, “A
relationship based on mutual trust and understanding”, “Building
trust, harmony and responsiveness in a relationship”. So trust and
relationship seem to be common denominators according to definitions but how do
we know when we trust and in relationship to what? Rapport operates on a number of levels and not just consciously or unconsciously. It operates in our environment, we have rapport with others who behave the same as us, and we have rapport with people with similar capabilities, we also have rapport with people who hold similar beliefs and values. Perhaps the ultimate rapport is when we have rapport with our own Identity ; who we perceive ourselves to be. read more

Find out what makes the difference that makes the difference between good and great. After what is probably the most expensive and certainly one of the most impressive opening ceremonies at any Olympic games; the 2008 Beijing Olympics has begun its 16 days festival of sports and excellence with 1000’s of the worlds top sporting competitors from 204 nations around the world all competing to be the best of the best.

The swimming competition is underway and Britain has won its first gold medal of the games with a tremendous effort from Rebecca Addlington who won her race with a whopping lead of 4 100th of a second. That’s what the commentator said “A whopping 4 x100th of a second win” . And he wasn’t being sarcastic! read more
The Importance of Practice – Contributor: Tina Taylor Tina explains how and why practice makes better. The definition of the word Practice in the Collins English Dictionary is to do or cause to do repeatedly in order to gain skill; the art of doing something and a Practitioner is a person who practices a profession or art. So practice can be viewed as a repeated activity the purpose of which is to demonstrate, establish, reinforce and improve skills. Ever since I completed my Practitioner Training almost 10 years ago, I have been practicing NLP my goal to improve my skills and ability to use these techniques. On completion of my first course I was excited about what it could do for me (and those around me) I was hungry for more knowledge, experience and so wanted to improve. I spent all my spare time reading NLP Books (I purchased everything Richard Bandler had ever written and read and re-read them enjoying every moment) going on trainings, watching videos, listening to tapes and CDs. read more
