After an afternoon of Heroes, Archetypes and Anchoring

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..

Values systems and personal values

During our last session, we explored values systems and personal values.

Values systems is a way of looking at collections of values and beliefs that together present a relatively stable world view. These relatively stable configurations – somewhat like electron shells – are recognisable and present characteristic strengths and weaknesses. While we could just scratch the surface, it was thought provoking and challenging!

We also explored personal values, and went through a detailed exercise on how to elicit our values. After one volunteer brought out a few pages worth of her own values, we examined how to put them into hierarchies and resolve potential conflicts working as partners.

It was a great afternoon – see you at the next one!

Speaking of which, our next session is 12 July with Andrew Shih and Ailing Wang.

Thanks Eve for your session on LAB Profiling

Eve Lo delivering The LAB Profile

Eve Lo delighted a group of 23 or so people on Saturday afternoon.

Before the break, she gave us a sophisticated framework for building rapport, understanding and influencing others covertly. After the break, we worked through a detailed exercise and were shocked to find that it was time to go already…

We again thank Andrew Shih and MSD for their support!

Looking forward to our next event: 1 June – on Eye Accessing and NLP Fundamentals… more to come soon!
