Our African Experience

Fran Burgess — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 11:44:02 +0000

It was as if we had been waiting to meet Greg Laws, and when it happened at the 2009 NLP Conference, Derek and I knew we were at the start of something special. Since our return from our month in Africa, it has taken us a bit of time to make sense of our experience [...]

Digital Living? Surely not!

Fran Burgess — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 12:13:50 +0000

It took me some time to grasp the difference between analogue and digital. I even had a kindly physicist to give me the empirical explanation. Enlightenment came through John McWhirter’s simple illustrations: sheet music and dots = digital : music = analogue dance steps (remember Victor Sylvester?!?*) = digital : dance movement = analogue frames [...]

2010 NLP Master Practitioner

Fran Burgess — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 10:48:24 +0000

The Bouncy Castle of Life

Fran Burgess — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 11:02:27 +0000

I keep returning to the four Elements of Power, Control, Safety and Vulnerabilty, which seem to come into play time and time again, both in my own journey, and in the journey of my learners. I believe they are all interconnected, and they shift their intensity depending on circumstances. Consistently they directly affect my behaviour [...]

Seeing Is Not Believing

Fran Burgess — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 20:58:27 +0000

I don’t know if any of you saw a BBC1 programme Eye Witness quite late on Sunday evening, looking at the question of the reliability, or otherwise, of eye witnesses. The programme makers set up a couple of scenarios for the group of guinea pigs to test their perceptions and recall of what actually happened. [...]

Models All The Way Down

Fran Burgess — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 05:32:16 +0000

As our Trainer Training approaches its climax this week, our folks have been fabulously busy producing all their work. It is fantastic to see such commitment to learning and NLP. What is emerging for me is the awareness that models are everywhere. Take a handout for example. You would think writing instructions for a technique [...]

Choosing an NLP Modeling Project

Derek — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 10:37:32 +0000

Here are some thoughts on how you could be thinking when faced with the requirement of doing an NLP modelling project. First of all start with – “Yippee!! What a fantastic opportunity for me to discover something I really want to know about.” And then follow it up with an incredulous whisper/clamour “I may even [...]

Hello v Goodbye

Fran Burgess — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 16:55:46 +0000

I’ve been reminded recently of the importance of similarities and differences in relationships, both from within my trainings and from several therapy sessions with clients. Out of this has come this homespun model, which I feel goes some way towards offering a health check for any relationship, be it a personal one, a friendship or [...]

NLP Techie Fest

Derek — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 13:38:08 +0000

After the great success of our Feeding Frenzy, I am now putting out another Call to Arms. This is for the intrepid Explorer’s amongst you who want to play with creating your very own NLP techniques. If you are a trainer, coach or therapist, then this is definitely for you. I’ve come up with a [...]
