[Article] Getting the Connection
I was talking to a friend about her business mentor. “I love working with her”, my friend said. “I feel like she really ‘gets' me”.
[Video] Fairness
I've been hearing people talk about the experience of furlough in their organisation and, at the beginning of lockdown, there were people whose colleagues were furloughed and they were not... It got me thinking about what we mean by fairness.
[Article] Maximise your influence
Whichever way you look at it, there’s going to be a majority of us that are motivated by Power - or Influence if you prefer – at least some of the time. So, how DO you gain influence?
[Video] LAB Profile and Learning
Today I want to show you how you can apply the LAB Profile to the whole subject of learning. What's been happening in recent times is that many people have been discovering lots of different methods of learning, with virtual methods obviously coming to the fore.
[Article] “So, NLP – is it a load of b******s, or what?”
Some experiences will stay with me forever. Back in 2002, I participated in a residential ‘meet the buyer’ event. It was my first time at this kind of sales opportunity and I was keen to make sure I gained a return on my investment.
[Video] Digital vs In Person
When the UK went into lockdown and we all migrated our meetings onto Zoom and Teams and various other platforms, one of the things I said was that there was perhaps one good thing that might come out of this.

Neurological levels is a concept pioneered by Robert Dilts back in the early days of NLP, but somehow it seems to have been overlooked in a lot of modern NLP training. Some schools of NLP still include it, but others have disregarded it. So if you haven't come across this model before, I really encourage you to explore it in more detail...
[Article] Dealing with criticism
Five months on from the start of lockdown, with several sets of exam results being announced recently and a general background of grumpiness for many people, I'm noticing a lot of criticism flying around. Have you been on the receiving end of some of it?
[Video] The Map Is Not The Territory
In this video I talk about what's often regarded as the first presupposition of NLP - 'The Map is not the Territory'. This has been talked and written about a great deal and, if you haven't come across it before, it's simply a way of expressing the fact that our perception of the world is more like a map than it is the real territory.
[Article] Choice and control – a window on my world
The time had come. I had to make a plan, make some decisions, get the ball rolling. I had already put it off several times and I knew I was only going to create a bigger headache if I left it any longer. The question – how to deliver NLP Practitioner training in 2020?
