Invest in yourself with NLP and it will improve your life
….and the lives of others around you! What would you say is a good investment? How would you describe a good investment? What constitutes a good investment for you? When you talk about investments most people automatically think about monetary rewards. “How can I invest my money in order to make more money out of […]
Thinking as a slideshow
I reckon that you do a lot of thinking, don’t you? The modern business world demands that we all do a lot of thinking. Planning this, planning that, reviewing this, reviewing that, our minds never stop. There is nothing wrong with thinking of course, and it is the quality of our thinking that usually determines […]
Success = Doing what others don’t like doing
Having worked in a sales environment for over twenty years I have been asked many times what it is that separates successful salespeople from the ‘also rans.’ If I was to pick out one thing in particular that I think made the difference, then the answer is that successful salespeople regularly do the things that […]
Coaching – Keep your values out of it!
One of the key attributes of a successful coach is their ability to discuss someone else’s circumstances without offering any sort of opinion, without giving them advice and without imposing their own model of the world.

How to win a penalty shootout

NLP Meta-programs and Jung’s typology
We can all agree, can’t we, that we have certain behaviours that are unconscious? You didn’t have to think about breathing when you were asleep last night did you? You didn’t have to think about how to brush your teeth this morning, or tie your shoelaces, you just did it without thinking, didn’t you? Many […]
Too old to change?
“I’m not going to change now, I’m too old to change my ways.” Have you ever heard someone say that? Is it something that you have possibly thought to yourself? People say it to me all the time in that defeatist kind of way. “Maybe I’d like to change this about myself, because I recognise […]
Just do it! NLP it!
What a great phrase that was for Nike to capture, “Just do it!” I am sure that it is now one of the most well known catchphrases associated with a brand in history. It is almost impossible for me to say the words without the Nike logo coming to mind. Anyway, the other visual anchors […]
NLP can help you protect your golden eggs
Have you heard the old Aesop Fable about the Goose and the Golden Egg? This is a story about a poor farmer who kept a pet goose. One day when he was collecting the eggs from the nest he discovered in the nest a glistening golden egg. At first he thinks that he must be […]
