New Code NLP with John Grinder and Carmen Bostic St Clair

Daniel Smith — Wed, 19 May 2010 20:50:11 +0000

I (Daniel Smith) 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...

Thanks Lynda!

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.

Jeff Tan on Accelerated Learning

Daniel Smith — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 07:16:24 +0000

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:

It’s all possible with accelerated learning. Accelerated learning and NLP have shared ideas, insights and innovations with each other so it’s perfectly natural that The China NLP Society is able to share some of the secrets with you.

Come join Jeff Tan as he shares the best learning tools from the world of NLP and accelerated learning. In just a few short hours, Jeff will show you how to read more efficiently, how your beliefs about learning may actually be holding you back, how to get into the best state for learning, how to warm up and prepare your brains for optimal learning, and how to use music to enhance your learning enjoyment and effectiveness.

As Jeff explains:

I am a really lazy person, and because I am so lazy I have always looked for shortcuts and better ways to get the results I wants… in life, in far less time and using as little energy as possible. So I love NLP and accelerated learning as these are the perfect tools for a lazy person like me!

Jeff was certified as a Licensed Trainer of NLP by co-founder Richard Bandler and was also certified by Paul Scheele as a PhotoReading instructor. He has been part of China NLP for almost as long as anyone and I’m excited that I’ll finally get to see him share his insights into accelerated learning.

Judith Delozier in Shanghai

Daniel Smith — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 18:10:33 +0000

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!

Transforming Values with Lynda Dyer

Daniel Smith — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 16:57:55 +0000

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

“How to Elicit and Change the Values and Beliefs in Your World that Drive You….and Make Changes for Maximum Future Success”

By Lynda Dyer

Why?

Values are what is important to us and how we judge when we, and others, have done something well or not.

What?

Values are related to our identity. They drive our behaviour and are the fundamental principles we live by. Values give us motivation and direction. Surrounding each value we have a series of beliefs. These are mostly stored in the subconscious so we may not be aware of, or understand, our driving forces. (ideas from Joseph O’Connor, Pip McKay, Tad James)

We acquire values, like beliefs from our experiences and from modelling family/ friends.
Values are usually unconscious
Values embody what is important to us and they are supported by beliefs
What are your values around Career, Relationships, Money, Family, Spiritual Life?

How? The Formation of Values

Sociologist Morris Massey researched that people go through a series of developmental periods in the creation of their major core values.

0-7 Imprint period
8-13 Modelling Period
14-21 Socialisation Period
21–35 Business (William James says that we take our values from above sources and put them into our business)

So HOW do we find out what our values are and what drives us?

What If You Could CHANGE Your Values?

What if you could elicit your values and find out what drives your behaviour in a chosen area of your life? What if you could then CHANGE the values you wish to change so your future is not held back by any limiting belief that may have been behind those initial values???

This Seminar will assist you to elicit your values and release limiting beliefs around unwanted values that do not serve you, then you will have the opportunity to change your values and what will be driving you in the chosen areas of your life.

The Magic of Rapport with Andy Clark

Daniel Smith — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 05:00:17 +0000

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.

Dan

(updated 21 February)

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…

More on New Code

Daniel Smith — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 03:31:36 +0000

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!

Michelle Hardwick event and bio

Daniel Smith — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 16:35:56 +0000

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.

Thanks Elsie for our session on Hypnosis

Daniel Smith — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 12:48:03 +0000

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.

Reviewing The 7 Master Steps for Lasting Change

Daniel Smith — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 07:16:15 +0000

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!
