It’s Friday Night In Zagreb!

Most of you that know me may have heard me saying something like that before.
When we were in Croatia last september, I was asked to meet with a small group of people- maybe 10 – and do an informal Q and A session on a Friday evening after a day of training.

The 10 person group quickly grew to 20 and then 30 and by Friday afternoon it was at about 50. By Friday evening, over 80 people showed up- many of whom had no formal training in NLP, but were curious enough to attend. We had to scramble to find a bigger conference room, and I had no microphone, which makes the ‘trancey’ stuff a bit tricky in a large group.
So, the intimate Q&A was out the window. : ) We are now into Plan B -which was largely “unconscious” Plan B.

Or should I say “Plan BE”?
Ever been there?
Anyway, I thought you might be interested to hear how the whole thing came off.

You may enjoy the use of hypnotic principles, languaging , anchoring of states and “other new things” – some more obvious and some VERY subtle, but VERY effective- just to keep things interesting and memorable, consciously and unconsciously.
I had one main theme I wanted folks to leave with- literally my goal was to hear them saying it in conversation – in english! – afterward. I also wanted that theme to be connected to something that was important to them. Guess what? It worked.: )

Listen and notice if you can figure out what it is, how many times it’s mentioned, in how many different ways, connected to what’s important to the listener.
Let me know what you think, and remember…

All You Are…

Thats right.

What is Hypnosis & NLP ?

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a pseudoscientific approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in California, United States, in the 1970s. NLP’s creators claim there is a connection between neurological processes (neuro-), language (linguistic) and behavioral patterns learned through experience (programming), and that these can be changed to achieve specific goals in life. Bandler and Grinder also claim that NLP methodology can “model” the skills of exceptional people, allowing anyone to acquire those skills. They claim as well that, often in a single session, NLP can treat problems such as phobias, depression, tic disorders, psychosomatic illnesses, near-sightedness, allergy, the common cold, and learning disorders. NLP has been adopted by some hypnotherapists and also by companies that run seminars marketed as leadership training to businesses and government agencies.

There is no scientific evidence supporting the claims made by NLP advocates, and it has been discredited as a pseudoscience. Scientific reviews state that NLP is based on outdated metaphors of how the brain works that are inconsistent with current neurological theory and contain numerous factual errors. Reviews also found that all^{[dubious – discuss]} of the supportive research on NLP contained significant methodological flaws and that there were three times as many studies of a much higher quality that failed to reproduce the “extraordinary claims” made by Bandler, Grinder, and other NLP practitioners.
