Create Personal Breakthroughs through Changing Limiting Beliefs with John Dorris

Guangzhou – 28 July – from 7pm

Take a moment to imagine what you want most to achieve in your life. Now consider what is stopping you from having that. Ask yourself, “What do I believe this is keeping me from having what I really want?”

The ideas that stop us from achieving or fulfilling the life that we want are called limiting beliefs. They may fill our lives and have many well thought out reasons to keep us from being the person that we want to become. But what if they didn’t have to?

This month, we will take some time to identify what are limiting beliefs and how they have affected us. We will go through fun and easy coaching activities to challenge those beliefs and create personal breakthroughs. These are techniques have been used to change lives and create a greater sense of personal freedom and empowerment by NLP practitioners, coaches, and motivational speakers around the world.

Topics include:

  • The Frog in the Well,
  • Self Talk, and
  • WTTTTPP.

John has been leading China NLP sessions in South China since completing his NLP Practitioner training.

Fun New Code NLP with Daniel Smith

Published on 14 July, 2010 in events. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , .

Shanghai – Wednesday, 21 July – 7-9pm

Daniel Smith

New Code NLP offers simplicity, understanding and powerfully elegant methods for creating excellence.

After founding NLP in the 1970s, Bandler and Grinder went their separate ways, offering different styles of NLP in their trainings.

Along the way, many people missed the point of NLP. They got lost in techniques and ‘magic phrases’ instead of continuing to explore the structure of magic. New Code NLP brings together the work of Dr John Grinder in directing NLP to where it belongs – the most powerful tool in the pursuit of excellence in the world today.

In two hours with Daniel Smith, you can learn some fun basics of New Code NLP, experience some “New Code Games” and the “New Code Change Format”.

Quick summary: In this session, we explored the Breath of Life, the Rhythm of Life and applied them to the New Code Change Format. We also spoke about the origins of NLP, and how New Code NLP focuses upon modelling, unconscious signals, state manipulations (rather than behavioural manipulations), using New Code Games and working content free.
Thanks for a wonderful night!

Learning languages with NLP

Published on 7 July, 2010 in events. 0 Comments Tags: , , .

NLP promises the ability and experience of getting more out of your mind, opening for you the doors to excellence and high performance. We can use NLP in education, in business, and in relationships. One application that is particularly valuable for many of us is in learning languages.

Join us next Thursday night, 15 July, as NLP Trainer Hu shares some of his experiences in learning 8 languages (!).

We’ll be aiming to start by 7:30, though based on his last engaging session, you might want to get there by 7pm to get a seat.

This session is full – hope you can make it next time!

Venue: The REV Office, 15B Ladoll International Hotel, 831 Xinzha Lu at Shimen Er Lu.
(Just a short walk north along Shimen Er Lu from West Nanjing Road subway stop on Line 2)

Hussene, known to some of his friends as Hu, is a Mozambique-born Indian, raised in the United Kingdom where he took out 9 (!) A-Levels, a BSc in business, and picked up 8 languages (English, French, Spanish, Turkish, Portuguese, Chinese, Italian and German!). In his 11 years in business, he has run companies across four countries. Now in Shanghai, Hu is a linguist and entrepreneur with his own trading company.

How NLP Changed My Life…

In his 11 years in business, he has run companies across four countries. Now in Shanghai, Hu is a linguist and entrepreneur with his own trading company.

Before NLP, Hu describes himself as unhappy in relationships, in his work and generally with where he was heading. Since NLP training – he did his NLP Trainers’ Training with Wyatt Woodsmall – he has enjoyed improved relationships and better work performance through modeling excellence.

This should be a fascinating session – hope you can join us!

NLP Fundamentals: Meta Programs with John Dorris in Guangzhou

Published on 4 June, 2010 in Guangzhou. 2 Comments Tags: , , .

When you think of the word “team,” what comes to mind?

We have many kinds of teams including our work teams, our families, some of us have teams we play with for fun, or work with for charities and individual passions. It seems that being a part of a “team” and collaborating with other people is a part of all of our lives. Being able to understand each other and why we are similar and different can change and improve any team environment. When we can better understand each other we can begin to create strategies and habits that can improve our happiness when we work with others, our team’s effectiveness, and hopefully the quality of our life.

Meta Programs describe the some of the ways our unconscious mind defines our thinking and actions. We will look at 8 easy to understand meta-programs that are commonly encountered and easily observed in our daily lives.

We will talk about what methods we can use to affect our own meta-programs and how we can begin to improve our relationships with the people in our lives. This is an easy way to create an understanding about why some teams work and communicate better with the teams in our lives.

John DorrisJohn Dorris, South China NLP’s organizer, has over seven years of experience working with teams across China and as a coach for high level leadership teams. In this session we will do a self-assessment and talk about how to better understand and work with the teams in our lives.

Guangzhou – 23 June – from 7pm

Location: 13 Factories: 7 Tian He Bei Jie, Ti Yu Xi Lu, Tianhe District 体育西路天河北街7号

Flavoured Submodalities with Robbie Zhang in Shanghai

Published on 26 May, 2010 in events. 0 Comments Tags: , .

We store memories in interesting ways. For example, if you think about someone that you like, you might be able to think of a picture of their face. And if you were to close your eyes, you might even be able to point to that picture in your mind’s eye – it might straight in front, or off to the side, high or low. It might be in colour, or in black and white. It could be close or far away. If you were to think about their voice, that voice would have a certain pitch, tone and rhythm. And you might even have feelings – feelings that might be in a particular location in your body, or more general, feelings that might be warm or cool, feelings that could be fuzzy or sharp.

And that information – what we call submodalities – is useful.

Submodalities can help you like the taste a vegetable that you used to dislike; to feel more motivated towards something that used to leave you feeling flat; to take a dream and evaluate whether you even want it at all.

So, that’s right: Submodalities are powerful!

And Robbie Zhang (NLP Practitioner) will be leading a session for us on submodalities next Thursday, 3 June, from 7pm.

Robbie is a professional interpreter who discovered NLP only recently, but who has thrown himself into training, experimenting and experiencing its various facets. If you’re like most people who have spent much time with Robbie, you’ll find that he’s knowledgeable, engaging and great fun! Robbie is an NLP Practitioner and is mid-way through his Master Practitioner training.

This is Robbie’s first session for China NLP, so please make him feel welcome!

Mirror neurons – 镜神经元 – in Hangzhou

Published on 23 May, 2010 in training. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , .

When I want my son to smile, I just have to smile at him. When pretty girls smile at him, he’s already learnt to smile back at them… perhaps even more important than learning to smile at his father!

The same thing happens when we want him to open his mouth to eat – we open our mouth nice and wide, and he responds by opening his mouth. It’s like magic :)

A few weeks back, I taught my son to blow raspberries. It’s a simple thing – you just stick your tongue out and blow, but he’s really mastered it now. Though he hasn’t yet figured out that he shouldn’t do it when he’s feeding…

I’m in Hangzhou assisting with the New Code Coaching training led by Dr John Grinder and Carmen Bostic St Clair, and one of the topics that just came up was ‘mirror neurons’ (or ‘镜神经元’). According to wikipedia, a mirror neuron is a neuron that fires both when an animal acts and when the animal observes the same action performed by another. Mirror neurons offer the neurological basis for rapport and explain why we can connect with people by mirroring their body language, gestures, words and rhythm.

Another website describes them this way:

“Mirror neurons are active when the monkeys perform certain tasks, but they also fire when the monkeys watch someone else perform the same specific task. There is evidence that a similar observation/action matching system exists in humans. The mirror system is sometimes considered to represent a primitive version, or possibly a precursor in phylogeny, of a simulation heuristic that might underlie mindreading.”

If you’re interested in how to build stronger connections with the people around you, you might want to check out how our brains are wired to help us learn from other people, just by watching them.

I had a great time with Peter Lin and his team at Magic NLP in Taipei for New Code NLP with John Grinder and Carmen Bostic St Clair.

Over the five days (14-18 May 2010), the students were sensational – full of energy, insight and a willingness to jump right into the experiences and adventures.

Here's a photo of the group on the last day. If you look carefully, you can see me there on the right of Carmen in about the middle of the second row...

John Dorris on Rapport in Guangzhou

Published on 20 May, 2010 in Guangzhou. 0 Comments Tags: , .

What do you want most in life? Can you get it by yourself or will you have to work with other people to get it done?

Most likely you will have to communicate and interact with someone at some point to get it done. No matter what you do the ability to quickly build and maintain relationships, or rapport as we say in NLP, with a large number of people from different backgrounds will help you to get what you want.

The basic idea behind building rapport is this: When people are like each other they like each other.

On the other hand when people are not like each they don’t like each other. NLP practitioners know there are six elements of build­ing rapport that can be used to break down barriers and create quick yet lasting connections. These six elements are often combined into a simple expression, mirroring and matching.

NLP practitioners have used these techniques to help in improving their relationships, improving their effectiveness at sales and negotiations and even creating romantic relationships with potential lovers!

John Dorris, South China NLP’s organizer will share the techniques he uses in building lasting relationships as a coach and mentor as well as a successful business person. You will have opportunities to begin practicing your rapport build­ing and can leave the evening with new tools to improve your life and your relationships.

To reserve a seat for this event please e-mail John Dorris (john_dorris@altec.com.cn); you can reach him on (020) 3762 1431 for more details too.

I just received word that our friends at NLP University have launched their new website. It seems to be mostly the front page but if you’ve been interested in Robert Dilts and Judith DeLozier, you might checkout the work that they’re doing.

Remember that Judith is coming to Shanghai to deliver a Master Practitioner training in June. Of course, if you’re interested, let me know.
