January 10th “The Success Grid” Dee Shipman and Paul Jacobs.

Tuesday January 10th,  Wood Green, 7:00pm for a prompt 7:15 start.

THE NEW OCEANS SUCCESS GRID.   How To Really  Make 2012 The Year You Want It To Be!

Excellence comes from having many choices.  Wisdom comes from multiple perspectives. – Albert Einstein

How  many times, when we really want to be successful in an outcome, do we say

“If only I could get a second opinion”?

Well the New Oceans Success Grid is your way to do just that – and not only one second opinion, but eight of them!    And you get to choose who you want as your Success Grid ‘advisers’ and consult them whenever you like……because they’re all with you all the time!

The late great actress Beryl Reid used to say she could become any character as soon as she, literally, stepped into their shoes; and in a way that’s how the Success Grid works – you ‘find’ the appropriate shoes for each of your eight success ‘advisers’, ‘step into’ them ‘become’ them – and get their feedback for achieving the success you want!

Even more than that…..you can put on your Dr Who Time Traveller shoes, ‘get into’ your own Tardis, and  travel anywhere in time.. treasure – hunting for resources!  You can then relive some of your successful  times in the past, and re – use them now to create that success in the future.!

Or supposing you decide to then go to where you’re successful in the future…..?

As  Milton H Erickson discovered, you can only create the future from the future.. …so the Success Grid enables you to do just that  -  go there, become you in the future  and beam back  how you did it; as well as stepping into  another wise friend from the past to remind you how you used to achieve success, and beaming that forward into your future now!

The Success Grid enables you to time travel  wearing all your most appropriate pairs of shoes to make 2012 the year you really want it to be!!   For example……..

Need to learn, or practice, some extra skills? select the friend, mentor, or Inner Team member with the Trainers!  Need a softly softly, quiet, approach? Slippers!  Or maybe you need to know how to weather any storm, deal with some raindrops………give it some Wellies!   To recall and re-access that past time when you were business-like, sharp, and to the point……..Stilettos!  Want an Inner Team adviser to give you an overview of your situation, or help you to ‘look back’ from the future where you’ve achieved success and give you dissociated feedback on how you did it?……Platforms! And if it seems to be a long hard road, ‘step into’ the friend with the strong Walking Boots!

Success starts with a dream.. but to achieve it we also have to take practical realistic steps – and that’s when we need to ‘put on’ Sensible Shoes!

Finally, if you want a Success ‘adviser’ who knows the moves to make, and the steps to take; who’ll keep you on your toes, in tempo; maybe even show you some Emotional Freedom techniques…….that’s right – Tap Shoes!  Whoever your Success Grid team are, whatever shoes you step into, they’re all you! Just decide who you want to help you get what you want, and what time zone you need to be in; then select their footwear….and step into them!

Remember, Success is your choice……

Win or lose, you Jimmy Choos!!

Would you like to find out what Meta Programs you run? Bruce Grimly can help – and you can help Bruce

Many regulars to the group will know Bruce Grimley, , who is a Chartered Psychologist. Registered Psychotherapist, Accredited Coach and NLP Trainer.

Bruce has been developing a psychometric test of people’s Meta-model, and is looking for people to test it on.  So please can you help.

Bruce wrote:

“Dear NLP colleague,

Would you like to find out what Meta Programs you run? In NLP we know Meta Programs change with context, however it is often the experience that we stay quite similar throughout our lives. This is because unless our Meta Programs really are working against us we tend to take them, and ourselves for granted and remain as we are at a core level, despite the rhetoric to the contrary. This questionnaire is a pilot and will be registered as a psychometric with the British Psychological Society next year. I am working with a psychological consultancy to achieve this. You will receive your profile on 9 Meta Programs within 2 days.

 Thank you for your help and with Kind Regards,

 Bruce.”

Dr Patricia Riddell, Learning about the Brain

You’ll recall we had a really interesting session from Dr Patricia Riddell, in May 2010.

As a follow up, she has written:

“I am running some new learning events next year, and thought that these would be of interest to people in the NLP group given the interest and discussion that was provoked when I came to talk to you.  

I have attached some information about two events that I am running in March next year – a one day event which is designed for people that are starting their journey into neuroscience, and a two day events  designed specifically for coaches that would like more information about the brain to support their practice.

I would be delighted if you wanted to send these to people who would enjoy these courses.”

Note that this meeting is on a Thursday (To avoid Valentines day)

Thursday February 16th,  Wood Green, 7:00pm for a prompt 7:15 start.

Success awaits you. Everything in life is driven by emotion, your successes and failures have been because of them. Your future will be created with them and the outcome depends on how you control them. Negative emotions create negative outcomes. IT IS TIME TO TAKE CONTROL

Raymond Dobson has developed training days that enable you to understand exactly how you create emotions internally and with this knowledge, you will have the ability to finally be in control of your future.

 

December 2011, James Tripp, Conversational hypnosis beyond the Milton model

James Tripp: Conversational Hypnosis Beyond the Milton Model

When people in the ‘NLP world’ think about Conversational Hypnosis, the first thing they usually think about are the hypnotic language patterns of Bandler and Grinder’s Milton Model. The Milton Model is, without question, a phenomenal model for hypnotic language, but in reality it only really scratches the surface of of Hypnosis and Conversational Hypnosis – as Erickson himself said of the model: “they took the shell but left the nut”.

So what kind of nut is that “nut”?

In this session we will be looking below the surface of Conversational Hypnosis – and uncovering some of the essential elements and understandings that really make it work effectively and from a practical perspective. We will be covering:

The relationship between context, intent and strategy

Mind and Consciousness in Conversation

Directing attention Vs. Seeding Ideas

Feedback Loops

Attitudes and Silent Scripts

Roles, Status and Certainty

…and more!

The session will be of benefit to you if you wish to improve your skill with Conversational Hypnosis or become a more influential communicator
