In July while I was in the USA I was privileged enough to attend two days of SuperCamp at Colorado College. In 2012 (Australian summer) we will be bringing SuperCamp to Sydney for 14-18 year olds to attend. It is an amazing 10 day journey of personal and academic growth. A wonderful gift for the next generation!
The reason I bring up SuperCamp is to share one of their Keys. During the 10 days they visit 8 Keys (we would call them Presuppositions in NLP land). One of their keys is THIS IS IT. Along with the ‘key’ of the day is a 20 minute key-note presentation and then group discussions about what it means. I was in awe and amazed at the meanings these kids got from the message. I think that from time to time adults forget about this. I know that in past posts I’ve written about the importance of knowing where you are going – perhaps not enough emphasis has been given to the Now. (more…)

As Ghandi said – be the change you want to see in the world. For change to happen however, we must change. I have met so many people through my profession as a coach and trainer who want something different in their lives, but they aren’t willing at a deeper level to make the changes necessary for it to happen.
Change is a two-fold process in the world of NLP:
- internal changes
- external changes

There is something quite extraordinary about knowing what you want! And, when I’m working with my clients, it is imperative that I know that they know what they want. After all, I’m helping them to get there.
It’s interesting to me that when I help my supervisees or students with some of their client work how sketchy they can be on what their client wants. I was assisting someone the other day; she was asking me the standard “what NLP processes should I use with this person” question. Her client was very depressed, withdrawn from life and stuck. My first question to her was: “What is her desired state?”. In my opinion, there is no use doing anything with anyone unless I know where they are going. Her answer “she wants to be a professional dancer”. OK – I don’t know about you, but if my client is depressed their desired state is not to be a dancer. That might be the long-term goal, but not the desired state for right here and right now. (more…)

When was the last time that you truly had a great laugh? One that shook your body, came from your belly and brought tears to your eyes? They say laughter is the best medicine – and I think whoever “they” are, are right.
Off and on for the past couple of weeks I’ve been spending time with my 16 year old cousin Megan. What a bright shining light she is. And we have fun! Sure, it’s the same kind of fun as I normally have – yet its different. We laugh. And, we laugh without filters – at just about everything. Singing songs wrong, slurping spaghetti, other people, learning to drive a manual car, tripping over things, getting tongue tied. It’s great. (more…)

Sometimes life is absolutely fantastic – flying on cloud nine, everything going exactly how it is in your mind… and then at other times, its like you woke up on planet Zazar (nope, I don’t know where that is either…) On those days, how do you get back on track? How do you reclaim the magic of life?Â
It can be easier than thought.
Let’s look at a few simple steps to reclaim the magic: (more…)
