The Hero’s Journey and Anchoring – 12 July with China NLP

Do you want to become the hero or heroine of your own life journey?

No man is a lone ranger, yet how many times have you heard from success stories that the best person to help you along is… “yourself”? Join us on 12 July as Andrew Shih and Ailing Wang guide you through the stages of one’s life journey, and show you how to achieve personal development with the aid of the fundamental NLP technique of Anchoring.

Inspired by the famous non – fiction book Joseph Campbell’s The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Andrew and Ailing will discuss the journey of the archetypal hero found in world mythologies, and guide us along as we become that hero.

The story of a hero repeats across cultures, across eras and across languages. The structure is the much the same – sometimes the hero is named Hercules or Luke Skywalker while another hero might be named Po (from Kung Fu Panda):

• The hero starts in the ordinary world, and receives a call to adventure.
• The hero then faces a road of trials.
• At its most intense, the hero must survive a severe challenge, often with help along the journey.
• If the hero survives, the hero may achieve a goal (a “boon”), which often results in important self-knowledge.
• The hero must then decide whether to return this boon (the return to the ordinary world), often facing challenges on the return journey.
• (If) the hero is successful in returning, the boon or gift may be used to improve the world.

And find out how the hero becomes successful with the help of the powerful technique of Anchoring…

Anchoring is the process by which memory recall, state change or other responses become associated with (anchored to) some stimuli, in such a way that perception of the stimuli (the anchor) is led by reflex to the anchored response occurring. The stimulus may be quite neutral or even out of conscious awareness, and the response may be either positive or negative. They are capable of being formed and reinforced by repeated stimuli, and thus are analogous to classical conditioning.

It’s looking to be a great Saturday afternoon with ChinaNLP – we hope you can join us… Look out for our big blue banners at the venue!
