NLP Academy Forums

Hi

I’d like to set up (or join) a practice group, based in the Midlands (Warwickshire/Leicestershire/West Midlands/Northamptonshire).

I’m not necessarily seeking or looking to create anything too structured. Rather, an opportunity for us to explore new learnings, challenges, etc. Basically to collectively practice the skills that we’re finding the most difficult/least used/newly learnt.

If anyone is interested in getting together, or if you already know of a group, perhaps you could contact me via this forum?

It’s unlikely that I’ll be able to make the Croydon practice sessions every month, though I do plan to make them at least quarterly and will be there this coming Wednesday 7th.

Thanks!

Suzy

Hi i only just joined a few minuits ago, hoping to find a practice group in or near Leicester. so if there is one or you do set one up that would be grate. I have only just started in NLP an need all the help I can get.

Regards

Dru

I’m also interested in setting up a practice group, I’m currently living in staffordshire work in wolverhampton /telfordand can travel to leicestershire. There used to be a group which met in Castle Donington but I’m not sure if it is still going. I used to go but it sort oflost its way a bit and I ran out of energy to keep going when the attendance started to fall off. i thnk if people are going to travel we need to make sure its worth it!
I’m also developing some ideas about virtual practice groups /virtual coaching so will keep developing this idea. See you in one of the possible worlds! 

Sounds good Dru and Andy. I also found someone based in Atherstone that is interested. Does 4 sound enough? I’ll keep searching and thinking…

hay suzi and andy,
that sounds grate to me. like i said im completely new so it would be my first session of this kind. so if there is any way we can set this up that would be grate. looking forward to meeting you soon.

regards

Hi Dru and Andy

I haven’t forgotten about this… by way of a quick update, I’ve been putting feelers out to see what else is going on in the Midlands and who else might be interested in joining in. I’m in the process of finding a space solution for an existing group who practice in their homes, in exchange for us all being able to join in. I’ll be back in touch when I know more.

Hi Suzy,

I’m an uncertified practitioner based in Tamworth and just recently been on the lookout for a practice group. I found a fledgling one in Derbyshire and at my first visit with them last week (I say them - I mean ‘him’ - there was just one guy showed up) - we committed to get 6 people together for the next one.

So it seems now there are multiple options (which is great!), so maybe we can join forces and make something happen soon.

Did you have a timeframe to get a group together? (Sooner the better mefinks).

Why not get in touch - say ‘Hi’ and let all of us on this group pick a pub/space in the next couple of weeks and meetup for a semi practice and strategise on the next steps for something more regular?

cheers
Mike

Hi Mike, sounds great. Give me a day to round up contacts and I’ll post again. S

Hey Suzy (that is a very cool name BTW!)

No worries.

If we get sufficient numbers south based we can do it somewhere more central (well more than Derbyshire anyway).

Mike

i’m so sorry everyone - i’ve not only started a new ‘job’ but i’ve also changed my computer and am having all sorts of technical difficulties, lost emails, and general wearyness brought on by my own feeble lack :(

I’m thinking that Tamworth might work as a good central location (lucky Mike!) as people from Staffs, Birmingham and Warwick could make it there.

Mike - did you contact me via NLP connections too? Can you PM me your email address as email is probably easier and more appropriate for the kind of logistical stuff that will ensue…

In summary, there’s me, you, Dru and Andy from this forum. Perhaps another Mike that I might have lost along the way from Atherstone. And then there are a group of Birmingham NLPers that are interested in joining forces. Plus an NLPer I know plus possibly one other from Warwick.

Shall we 4 arrange a meet-up just to say ‘hi’ and organise something?

Anyone else reading this post who is interested, a PM of your email would be spiffing!

Sorry again for dropping a few eggs…

ok I’m in Staffordshire so we’ll need tosort out when and where. andy

Hi Andy

a bit tied up until next weekend but if you pm me your email address I promise to email everyone next weekend.

Suzy

Right then chaps…

I’ve finally emailed Dru, Mike and Stuart to arrange an informal gathering.

Andy - Forgive me if I’ve messed up somehow but I don’t think I have your email address. If you send me a message, I’ll include you on all future arrangements!

Looking forward to meeting you all and finally getting to hone our skills!

Suzy

Hows Progress guys?

Hi JC

Well, I eventually emailed everyone but it was a bit close to Christmas i think. If you PM me your email address I’ll include you in future arrangement stuff. The more the merrier! Regardless, I’ll post up a date when we have one. Probably Atherstone because someone has kindly offered us premises

Suzy

Well Well Well.

We have lift-off!

7pm on Tuesday 02nd February, currently pencilled in for Atherstone (it’s nr Tamworth, on the A5).

For those that want to come along - email or PM me your email address for precise venue details or suggestions of an alternative location!
