Have you ever had one of those days? Hey, maybe its more like one of those weeks or months? You know, where you do the right thing, but it doesn’t turn out? Yeah, I think we all have. They pop up from time to time in our lives.
There is one thing that I know about these moments – they are just moments. And, sometimes the ‘universe’ has bigger plans for us. Although we’d like to know what is always around the next corner, that’s just not always possible. Actually, its never possible. Â
One of my favourite NLP Presuppositions (an assumption) is one that comes from Cybernetics called the Law of Requisite Variety. This assumption within NLP says that the person with the most flexibility in behaviour controls the situation. Now, this doesn’t mean control in a negative sense, rather – if you know what you want and you can be flexible in your approach you are more likely to get what you want. (more…)

Today more then ever before we have so much going on. We have technology which makes much of life easier – email, the internet and mobile phones are some examples. Also on the rise is high blood pressure, obesity, stress and anxiety.
Thirty years ago when we wanted to contact a friend with a method other than the telephone a letter was written and posted. Then, the friend would reply and send a letter back to us. This correspondence may have taken a few weeks to get a reply. Now, we send an email and get anxious if our friend hasn’t replied in five minutes! Â
While we use technology to make things easier, there can be the opposite effect some days. Humans now-days tend to do more in less time, and in a normal 40 hour working week – that actually means doing a lot more. If technology somehow lets us down, what do we do then? If our schedule of priorities is different to someone elses and it is impending our progress, what happens? (more…)

From time to time I get asked by parents for help with regard to discipline of their children. It is a different age to when many of us were kids and yesterdays discipline techniques don’t work today. Many of them anyway.
I have a great discipline task with a NLP twist that makes it easy for you and useful for your child. Lets first have a quick chat about discipline. (more…)

Can you recall the last time when you had an attitude or feeling that told you – “no matter what, I’m doing this!â€, “Come hell or high water, nothing can stop me!â€.
 Those are mighty good feelings when they come around – and sometimes absolutely imperative to success. (more…)

I was chatting to a friend the other day who proclaims that she is the ‘everything to everyone’ person at work – and frankly, she’s tired of it. Who can blame her? Well, actually… after years and years of being this ‘go-to’ person, years of being everything to everyone, years of knowing everything, doing a great job, being counted on, being counted for, being accountable for well, most likely everything she decided she was accountable for – we can actually blame her.

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…)
