Wait? What? Did you read that right!!!?
How can someone who has been involved in NLP for so long even start an article with this title? NLP doesn’t work? Of course it does! Or does it?
In my private practice, in the training room and in my real life I meet people all the time who are looking for a quick fix to an issue or a major jump toward a goal. And there are SO many NLP Practitioners and NLP Trainers in the world who purport that NLP is a quick fix. And I see advertisement and marketing expelling this same idea. I get an image of ‘Superman’’(or woman) in my mind with these super powers and with a booming voice “You’re depressed? I can fix you!â€
So, I’m here to tell you NLP doesn’t work. (more…)

I’ve read it, I know you have too.
You need willpower, determination, self-control and a whole lot more to get to where you want.
And that’s right… right?
Well, yes. And, no.
For short term goals and things out of our comfort zone or things we don’t really want then yes they are useful and even necessary. However….
If you are after a longer term goal they are not. Think about it. How many times have you achieved or reached a goal when willpower, determination and self control were at the forefront of your mind? My guess, not often. But why? They seem to be the main words that come from self-help and motivational books and speakers. (more…)

Have you ever had a moment where you seem to be out of whack with your self or elements of life?
For example, does it ever seem like you don’t have enough time, energy, money, motivation?
Have you ever lost your oomph or mojo?
What if…Â these things were really just a sign that you are out of rapport with yourself?
NLP has a Presupposition (assumption) that says “resistance is a sign of a lack of rapport”, and aren’t these examples simply examples of resistance? (more…)

Do you know that you store time in a certain way? And that way is how your mind codes the past, present and future.
Just like history has a timeline, you have a timeline too. This timeline is like your metaphor and is made up of a variety of submodalities of location, association, size and even sometimes colour. Your time actually marks out where and how you store your past, present and future. And, HOW you store your timeline actually may mean something about your personality! (more…)

Ready, set…..
Stopping, starting, changing, going, not going, staying, not staying…. choices, choice, choices.
Nearly daily we have a choice to make – should I stay or should I go?
This might be about the gym, a relationship, a job, a bar, your house, your clothes – just about anything. So how do we make these decisions?
Some decisions seem like no brainers and they are pretty easy to make. Others sometimes feel like rocket science issues on steroids. (more…)

Do you know the feeling that you get when you come across something that you know nothing about? For some people this is a frustrating type of feeling (we’ll call you the controlling people) and for others its a freeing feeling.
For me, its the latter. When I don’t know something, it almost feels like an adreneline rush. A moment where I have the opportunity to learn something new if I choose. A change to expand my awareness, skills, understanding and life. (more…)
