Where are we going?

20-09-2009T23:58:32+00:00

Hi everyone,

Cool new look forums. I wondered what people’s thoughts are on where the forums should go from here.

Online NLP discussion forums seem to me less popular in recent times (with only one exception ) leaving many very quiet forums.

What are the outcomes and aims for this site, and what is it members and visitors actually want to see or gain ? What will be happening in 6 months time here (NOT ‘nothing’ ), and how do things get to that point ?

NLP Premier Practitioner, March 2010

24-02-2010T15:27:16+00:00

Greetings to everyone involved in the March NLP Premier Practitioner training. I am really looking forward to the course. This course is a truly international experience with people from 15 countries attending.

The course is called NLP Premier Practitioner for several reasons. Several years ago we (John, Carmen and myself) wanted to create a course that included updated models from classic code of NLP in a way that fits with New Code NLP. We also redesigned several delivery variables. We called it the NLP Premier Practitioner because it was the first time we had done it this way and we figured it was the premier of NLP courses in the business. The results have been amazing. Last year, John Grinder stated it was the best NLP Practitioner course he had ever been involved with. That was major compliment to the group. It also says a lot about John, he is always developing.

It’s this year now and 2010 will be a completely new experience. I refuse to be complacent and rest on last year’s laurels. I like to always raise my game. We can make it OUR job to create a superb experience for the Premier Practitioner course 2010. After all exceptional people get exceptional results.

As away of getting to know each other, it would be a good idea if you upload a picture here. You can also post a bit about yourself in this thread. Some suggestions are below

a/ your name, if different from your user name
b/ where you are from
c/ what you do in life (hobbies, career, etc)
d// your outcomes from being on the course

You are also welcome to ask me any questions relevant to the course

All the best

Michael

Great practice session on Wednesday

05-03-2010T11:07:47+00:00

Hi
I just wanted to say thanks for a fantastic session on wednesday night.

I brought a colleague along with me(Graham) who used to facilitate the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People courses with me, but had recently retired to work nights in Sainsbury’s to be able to spend more time with his family.

After going through the well formed outcomes process his passions have been reignited and he has come to realise that perhaps it doesn’t have to be either/or. Either I do something I love (training) or I spend time with my family. Perhaps there is a third alternative?
For those of you who met Graham on wednesday you will know what a passionate guy he is. I think we will see a lot more of him in the future.

So thanks Michael for the practice sessions. That’s what I love about this stuff. You can actually see the changes in people and know that you are doing something to make the world a better place.

I feel that might just have been the flap of the butterfly’s wings for, not just Graham, but a few others that were there on wednesday night. (Perhaps you could post your experiences of the night, and keep the inspiration high on this forum!)

Good luck with the practitioners next week, guys!

group games

04-01-2010T10:58:46+00:00

Hello again,

I hope you can forgive me another hunch.
I found on one of Polish NLP forums an old method of achieving up-time: you show one of the things around you and give it a wrong name (possibly aloud, I don’t exactly remember) – you are going to repeat it with different things on and on for some time.
A first image I had in my had as I read it was a circle of people in which one person after the other does that and all the others respond somehow kinesthetically (say like in the alphabet game) to whether the „leading” person did right or wrong (ie whether the thing shown and its name mismatched or matched). Another factor influencing the response could be the sex of the leading person.
This however does not make the responses of all other players different in the same time. Your response as a single player could also depend on the sex of you immediate neighbours or, more interestingly, whether they responded correctly the previous time ie to the previous leading person.
I have not set up the exact rules for individual responses as I am very much curious how you would do it (if you found the idea interesting). I imagined the rules to be cellular automata like (njsc, you probably could provide a clear and easily digestible explanation of this term) but maybe there are other solutions possible.
I am really looking forward to trying out the final form of the group game – I would probably find it very exciting.
I would be extremely grateful for the ideas of all of you. It would be fantastic if we created or designed something together.
Please, tell me if there is any ambiguity in what I am saying – I’ll try to respond as clear as I can
Yours

Dymitr

Sleep problems

01-02-2010T11:12:02+00:00

Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum and have spent the last week just browsing and have found it most enlightening.

Does anyone know, or has anyone ever dealt with sleep problems using NLP? Michael, can you give any advice?

I have a friend who is at the end of her tether and has tried hypnosis and sleep therapists for the last 6 or 7 years

As a Practitioner how would you approach this challenge?

best wishes and see you all on Wednesday for the boardbreak!

Now then!

Nice new looking forum. My name is Alistair I did my practitioner training with the academy in March. I have to say it was the best two weeks I have ever had and my thirst is only slightly stronger than my hunger to learn more and more each day. I work with my unconscious daily and think I am getting results. I say think because I am deliberately not thinking about it hope that makes sense. I am attempting to generate spontaneous new behaviours to help my situation and find myself doing new things that kind of just “pop” into my head. I have been working with my friends UC as well and while I cannot be totally sure colds and headaches have disappeared for them. I have to say the more I learn new code the more I get excited. My excitement usually sees me getting completely lost in intrepid adventures of the mind but it usually just takes an epistemological clip round the ear to bring me back to new code camp. In light of that apologies for asking any questions that are by and large irrelevant or appear like I am trying to find something wrong or even look like I am trying to repackage anything. My intention for asking some questions is so that I get a better feel for what is “not” NLP. Probably academic residue left from my previous adventures…

Introduction to New Code NLP, 13th March 2010

24-02-2010T17:01:36+00:00

Greetings to all joining us for the Introduction to New Code of NLP, March 13th

NLP co-creator John Grinder recognised many years ago that for NLP to remain at the leading edge in training and creating change, it too must change. Like any discipline NLP needs to be constantly updated with new ideas. While so many NLP Trainers teach NLP courses that are stuck in Grinder’s thinking of thirty years ago, we at the NLP Academy are happy we at the leading edge of NLP ensuringour learners are exposed to new ideas ‘hot off the press’ from the Grinder/Bostic /Carroll creativity lab. This has led to the natural evolution of Classic and New Code NLP. I am glad you are joining the New Code adventure

The New Code Difference
The Classic Code is the patterning created by Grinder and Bandler through their 1970’s collaboration. The New Code story began around 1984, and is the patterning John Grinder began to create to with Judith Delozier and then continued to develop with Carmen Bostic St Clair. The original intention was to correct the coding flaws in the Classic Code and build in self congruency to the pattern design. Whilst the New Code story started in 1984, (making it not that new), the patterning is constantly being updated, with new processes being developed by John and Carmen as well as creative people, who, like me find the philosophy and potential of the New Code appealing.

The New Code emergence in Europe
I began to work with John and Carmen in 2002 after the publication of Whispering in the Wind. Up until this point, the people of Latin America had the most exposure to the New Code patterning. I made it one of my early intentions to make the New Code patterning widely available in Europe. At the time I thought much of the NLP on offer in the UK was either sterile conscious mind oriented (teaching out of date patterns) or the contrasting ‘pile em high’, ‘hype them up’ and teach them very little ‘conveyor belt’ approach.
The NLP Academy hosted the first New Code course with John and Carmen in 2003 which was a resounding success. The New Code of NLP has become the ‘must do’ in NLP since then.

I invite you to enage me, challenge me or ask me any quetsions you might have in the build up the Introduction to New NLP course

Regards

Michael Carroll

What is New Code NLP?

19-09-2009T23:42:56+00:00

One of the questions I get asked most frequently is ‘What is New Code NLP?’ so I thought I’d put the details in here too.

The dynamic field of NLP is constantly evolving and New Code NLP is a set of it’s latest developments. These new techniques have been developed by John Grinder with Judith Delozier, and then more recently Carmen Bostic St Clair. More recently a group of collaborators under the mentorship of John Grinder have added to the research and developed New Code patterns of their own.

There were 3 main areas of focus when the New Code was conceived. Originally John sought to correct what he saw to be coding flaws in the Classic Code. He also wanted to create fast and effective change processes for working with clients which were less invasive to the clients own map. He also observed a lack of personal congruency in NLP Practitioners who could make spellbinding changes with their clients but were unable to apply these skills to their own lives.

For a detailed description of the processes have a look at the article written by Michael. Click Here

Unconscious decision making

13-10-2009T17:09:15+00:00

I am stuck between two choices of what to do next year. One is to go on a working holiday somewhere hot. The other is to use the money for an NLP course. Does anyone know how I would go about using my UC signals to help me with a decision?
