Great thanks to Lynda Dyer for leading another session on beliefs for us on Tuesday night. The 18 of us who were there enjoyed learning more about where beliefs originate and were guided through a simple process to help let go of those beliefs that get in the way of what we want.

Shanghai’s own Licensed NLP Trainer, Jeff Tan, lead a session on Accelerated Learning for 29 people on the evening of 3 June.
Imagine reading faster, retaining what you want to learn better, and recalling what you need quicker.
Here are some of our photos from the night:

Through my friends Joanna Hsu, Samuel Lau and Porscher, I was lucky enough to meet Judith Delozier last weekend during the testing phase of her Master Practitioner training. While the training was being translated consecutively well, the atmosphere of the students was excellent. We hope that Judith will be returning to China next year.
Of course it helps when you’ve spent 18 days with one of the sources of NLP!
Update – Lynda’s session was a great success with a mostly full room. Lynda offered some great information for novices and experienced members alike – thanks for your time, Lynda!
Australian NLP Trainer, Lynda Dyer, is in Shanghai again just this coming week. Lynda has kindly offered to take some time out from her busy schedule to share with us some of her thoughts on eliciting and changing values and beliefs.
Lynda is here as part of a Master Practitioner program where she will also be covering Values and profound change. Get a taste for the impact of values – and Lynda – through this evening workshop.
From 7:00pm, Tuesday 3 March
Thanks heaps to Andy Clark for a great session on Rapport yesterday afternoon. We greatly enjoyed his animated, engaging and personal style, and I valued the insights that I gained myself through the session.
We had a few newcomers along this time – and sorry to those of you who missed out – and we look forward to seeing you again at our next event in a few weeks from now… at this point, probably on the weekend of March 14-15.

We only have about five places left for Andy Clark’s session this Saturday afternoon.
When I was speaking with Andy earlier today about the session, he shared with me the following insights:
Rapport is “NLP 101″ – the first thing you learn on any NLP course, and also the most powerful in terms of making a difference to your everyday life and the warmth and depth of every relationship.
We will be going beyond Mirroring and Matching to look at some of the rapport techniques that the CIA use, as well as moving into the more advanced Pacing and Leading technique. You will have a chance to relive some past challenges with the help of a partner and your new skills.
This Saturday, we will cover:
- Rapport Basics – Mirroring & Matching
- Rapport for Sales – with direct feedback (Find out if you try too hard!)
- Pacing & Leading – How to change the way others feel
Our session with Andy will be from 2pm in a central location. There is a 100RMB fee on this session and numbers are strictly limited – I’ll be sending out the venue details tomorrow. To confirm your place, and we probably will fill all those places, please register…
Following on from yesterday’s session on New Code led by Dan Smith is this video from Dr John Grinder on the New Code.
In our session, we particularly focused on how New Code focuses more on the structure than the examples, renews emphasis on the modeling process so that we might ‘refill the well’, promotes a “content-free” approach and focuses on the state as a leverage point for change. We saw a content-laden and content free version of an exercise similar to the Core Transformations session from last year and experienced the Alphabet Game.
And here’s Dr John Grinder:
More from China NLP after the New Year!
Back in October, we welcomed Michelle Hardwick for a session on EFT. The participants loved their time with her, and we were very pleased that we were able to have her share her ideas and experiences with us.
I have published a profile of her on our Honour Roll.
Michelle tells me that we can look forward to seeing her again back in Shanghai again sometime in spring 2009 and offered to have another session for us then.
Elsie Tsui shared some of her great insights into hypnosis in our session yesterday afternoon. In a freeflowing and experiential session, we discussed concepts of and experiences with our unconscious mind, and enjoyed a short practical induction for the group.
Hypnosis is a different experience for everybody, and we greatly appreciated the 25 or so of you who contributed your thoughts and insights.
Coming up: Emmanuel Mercado on Suggestion and something special from John Lee, both after the National Holiday.
We know of a few trainings coming up towards the end of the year – Jeff Tan’s looking to run another NLP Practitioner and possibly a Master Practitioner, Robert Dilts is coming to China for six-days with a training on Genius, and a few other things are on. If you have something special coming up, do let us know.
Despite the heat, 24 China NLP supporters attended our event yesterday – Thanks so much for your support!
‘The 7 Master Steps for Lasting Change’ were great fun for me, an opportunity to explore creating change for ourselves and others, and how to enhance our subjective experience. We explored the Six Human Needs (Certainty, Variety, Significance, Love & Connection, Growth and Contribution) and reviewed some of our vehicles, before going through the 7 Master Steps one by one. Finally, we wrapped up with a review of how we can implement these steps
Special thanks to Wendy – the way that she handed me a glass of water in mid-sentence, gave a spontaneous demonstration of one of the steps, “Interrupt the Pattern”… and is such a simple action that we can use anytime.
At the end of the session, REV announced that they will conduct NLP Preview sessions on the 2nd and 16th of August – yes, that’s starting from this coming Saturday.
As our great supporters, we hope that you will be able to attend one or even both of REV’s sessions as more great opportunities to learn more about NLP.
While these aren’t “official” China NLP events, you can expect that they will be at the same or perhaps an even higher standard than our usual events – and they’re still free to attend.
You can RSVP to them by emailing revevent@chinanlp.org
Hope you can make it along!

Thanks to Andrew Shih and Ailing Wang for leading an engaging and exciting session this Saturday afternoon. Another big group – about thirty of us – enjoyed a few hours exploring A Hero’s Journey, Representational Systems and Anchoring, with demonstrations and partner-based exercises.
As we move from The Innocent, through the Orphan, Martyr, Wanderer, Warrior and onto the Sorcerer as we conquer our Dragons, we each find challenges. And we can each explore what is ready to take us to the next level.
From Ailing, we learnt how anchoring is a powerful tool that allows us to access states, memories and capabilities more readily and even on demand. More sophisticated applications of anchoring allow us to cancel existing anchors that don’t serve us by a pattern called “collapse anchors”. All this needs an appropriate context to be relevant.
In our next session (~27th), we can explore The Seven Master Steps for Lasting Change. This is the accessible and easy to manage change model made popular by Anthony Robbins, and is a model that I find invaluable in my personal, training and coaching/ counselling/ consulting experiences… simple enough to be robust, complex enough to be comprehensive.
Request for your input
- Firstly, we have a number of people pencilled in for upcoming sessions. If you are interested in contributing to the group, please do let me know.
- Secondly, I am interested in scheduling a mid-week session over the next month or so. If this fits with you, could you let me know whether Tuesday or Wednesday would work best for you?
More information to come – but see you there on the afternoon of the 26th..
