Comments and emails about the first article in this series (NLP and Sales 1) got me thinking about what works and what doesn’t work in dealing with potential customers.. and about one of my pet hates in selling: the ‘We are proud to announce’ tactic. In this approach the selling company runs a campaign along

On last week’s NLP Trainer Training we were discussing the importance of customer satisfaction and long-term relationships in developing a training and consulting business. Coincidentally, I was this morning chatting with somebody who could be a role-model for this: someone who instinctively applies this approach. (That chat prompted this article). He owns and runs one

The “Sympathy vs. Respect?” blog article produced lots of online and email responses.  One common theme can be summarised:  “I should be doing something even if the unhappy or unwell person doesn’t want it!” Sam and Ulrica I have made a composite of the comments and come up with a typical scenario: 1. Uneasy Ulrica

I’ve recently had reason and opportunity to think about the concept of sympathy. The feeling of sympathy, that is, for somebody who is unwell or unhappy or in difficult circumstances. It’s quite normal or natural or understandable to feel sadness or even unhappiness for somebody who is going through a difficult time. And, if this

This months Pegasus NLP Newsletter arose out of observing the differing approaches and styles of different NLP Core Skills groups when doing the Spiders Web challenge on the Low Ropes course – and afterwards reviewing their experience with them. The Spiders Web challenge is web a made of light rope and is about 2 m

In the second NLP Bore trait other people are not allowed to ‘be negative’. They must remain in a permanently positive frame of mind otherwise they’ll be ‘NLPed’. So you can’t discuss your problems – that’s not positive. You can’t talk about your difficulties – because we have to deal with process and not with

Diagnosing or categorising or labelling people contradicts the spirit of NLP. So somebody who labels others as a “visual” or a “towards person” or a “Blamer” or a “Placater” is demonstrating their lack of understanding of what NLP is all about. In one of the best original books on NLP, NLP Volume I, Robert Dilts

It shouldn’t, but it does. Amaze me, that is, that after 30 years of using NLP I’m still learning about myself – and will, undoubtedly, still be doing so in 30 years time. (This was written in 2009). Take for example, my most recent lesson. It can be encapsulated pithily: “Don’t dither – get on

One of the things which a lot of people find difficult to explain simply and succinctly, despite their enthusiasm for the subject, is what exactly is NLP? It’s certainly a question I used to have difficulty in answering briefly and in plain English. Someone would ask ‘Okay, so what exactly is this NLP?’ And 5

The UK TV Station that’s sunk to to a new depth Reading time 5 mins There seems to be no depths to which the media will not slide to cheaply fill viewing time and/or get ratings. For a moment I thought I was seeing things when I noticed that UK’s Channel 4 is tonight running

But some workshops, and especially those in the high-energy, revivalist, ‘we teach through hypnosis’ camp, could do with having a sort of health warning attached as in ‘NLP could damage your relationships.’ For example, let’s say Jack is like most of us. He has high and low

Around 7% of the UK workforce is now unemployed and the number is likely to continue rising throughout this year, according to ‘analysts’ or, if you prefer, people who are often no better at predicting the future than you or I but who have mastered the art of sounding as if they are!
