Get Real!

I have this weird brain thing going on at the moment after this open letter . See I KNOW that the IM gurus are big users of NLP, and they understand that if you put two things side by side, we humans will make a connection between them.

So why put put a major name in IM against the term “male chauvinist” and have the female “staff” from an organisation back up that anchoring.

Hmmm.

So let’s add “car crash gawking” , name dropping and controversy and you have either me thinking too much (probably the case) versus an abortion of an attempt at damage control.

Get real guys, we don’t need every response manufactured to death. We are big kids and we know how this goes down, it might work for the real non-IM people out there, but for anyone in the biz, we are frowning and tch tching.

This Post is Not About the 3g iPhone

This is about some forgotten skills that I have that I am going to brush up on, again, soon. Did you know that I am a qualified NLP practitioner who can raise a shingle as a Life Coach? Did you also know that I have studied and have been awarded certificates in two types of hypnotism? Do you think I am a total nut job now?

Surprisingly I had actually “forgotten” that I have these skills. Many I use instinctually in my daily work life. Building rapport with the people I manage, reading eyes and body language, but I can do more than I currently am.

I am a pretty pragmatic person. If something works for someone, then good for them, I am not going to say it doesn’t work, nor ridicule them for believing so. Stranger things have happened …

About two years ago as an exercise in one of the classes I attended, I self hypnotised and gave myself the suggestion that cheese and onion crisps, my absolutely favourite nasty food, were huge yellow dried scabs. I have not eaten cheese and onion chips since…. actually I have not eaten any other form of crisp either. Just thinking about them makes me slightly nauseous. Before I did this to myself I was pretty skeptical that this sort of thing worked, and if it did work, that it work on me.

I saw in my Twitter feed that someone claiming to be Frank Kern had linked to a NLP site talking about how to write to focus on various parts of a sentence and suddenly my light bulb went on…that’s right… I lent my books to a friend over a year ago (Paul I am coming for them!) and they have not been returned, and they are important…right now. I don’t know why but they are.

Weird post I know…goes nowhere really…
