Gabor Nagy – FiTIn

Published on 14 October, 2009 in events. 0 Comments Tags: , .

Thanks to Chris Malone for another session exploring hypnosis. We’ll be looking to have another one in the coming weeks for those that are really interested in experiencing being hypnotised themselves.

Next week – 20 October – we will be joined by Gabor Nagy. Gabor runs a training company here in Shanghai (HRO) and has developed the personality assessment tools FiTIn and MQ (Motivational Questionnaire). Comparable with MBTI, 16PF, DiSC or Harrisons Assessments, FiTIn and MQ examine what makes us think and work the way we do.

Quite like Metaprograms.

As a special offer to China NLP, Gabor is offering us the opportunity to take FiTIn at no charge, and to explore the results together.

Gabor Nagy: Metaprograms through FiTIn and MQ – 20 October – at the REV Office

To participate in this session, you will need to let me know in advance so that you can complete the online questionnaire. It’ll take a bit of your time but it’s easy. Let me know that you’re interested in coming along, and I’ll send you out your personalized link. We can cope with about 15 people at the most.

The test comes in a few languages too – so if you would prefer something other than English (eg Chinese, German). To help Gabor design this session for you, it would help if you could let me know a little of your background and what you’d like to get from the session…

Christopher Malone: Stage Hypnosis

Published on 3 October, 2009 in events. 0 Comments Tags: , .

Chris Malone will be leading another session exploring stage hypnosis. This will be an experiential workshop with more demonstrations than explanations.

We are after just a small group of people who are interested in exploring and experiencing hypnosis. This will not be about ’self hypnosis’, ‘conversational hypnosis’, sleight of mouth, or building your ability to influence others. There will be no timeline or futurepacing: instead, we will be specifically focused on inducing states of trance as might be done in a stage hypnosis performance.

Shanghai – 14 October – from 7pm

We’re fully booked for this session – thanks!

Next session: 20 October with Gabor Nagy on the Metaprograms of FiTIn.

New Code NLP session

Published on 17 September, 2009 in events. 1 Comment Tags: , .

Sunlight refracting from the SWFC prismThe other morning, I noticed the sun reflecting off the top of the Shanghai World Financial Centre. And the building was acting like a prism, with beams of light scattered off the surface. Yet, as I looked up at the beautiful beams of light, it occurred to me that I couldn’t see the light itself as much as I could see the dust from which the light was reflecting. As beautiful as it appeared to me, it was the dust in the air that allowed me to even perceive it!

You can’t see the light without the dust in the air.

Next Wednesday night, we will be having a session on New Code NLP

You will learn the New Code change format. This simple, elegant and generative strategy will be something that you can use immediately.

After all: What if you could take your best state of mind and resources with you where you need them the most?

You will also learn how to work “Content Free” – so you don’t have to spend so much time talking about the challenge and move your focus instead onto dealing with things and moving forward.

New Code NLP describes the recent work of Dr John Grinder. Much of what is taught as “NLP” these days is focused on the techniques produced through modeling genius. They found eye accessing, submodalities, anchoring, the Milton Model, the Meta Model and patterns like the Swish, Collapse Anchors and Reframing – amazingly powerful techniques. Yet the techniques that NLP leaves behind are not NLP any more than the dust in the air is the light itself.

You can learn more about New Code NLP in our session next Wednesday night.

Learn about “Content Free” processes. Learn the New Code change format. Enjoy a great evening.

New Code NLP with Dan Smith – 23 September – 7:15pm start – 100RMB

We’ll be in a convenient central venue just north of West Nanjing Road subway station, the REV office. That’s Unit 15B Ladoll International Hotel, 831 Xinzha Lu at Shimen Er Lu.

We can only hold 12 people, but if you’d like to come, please let me know to hold a place for you.

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.

Richard Bandler’s Neuro Hypnotic Repatterning

Published on 24 August, 2009 in article. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , .

One of the first things that stands out to me as I watch Richard Bandler training in Neuro Hypnotic Repatterning is just how similar it is to New Code NLP.

Richard and John worked together or “ran together” (as John phrases it) for about seven years at the start of Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

More recently, Richard has branded his work as Design Human Engineering™ and Neuro Hypnotic Repatterning™, while John has channeled his focus into New Code NLP. While both might appear to be superficially different, each is in the pursuit of modeling excellence.

And if you look beyond the surface, they are remarkably similar. Let me give you an example… Continue reading ‘Richard Bandler’s Neuro Hypnotic Repatterning’

What is New Code?

Published on 6 August, 2009 in article. 0 Comments Tags: , , , .

I’ve had a few people asking me, “What is New Code” and while I’ve given answers in the past, it’s a good time to answer it again.

Dr John Grinder and Dr Richard Bandler developed NLP together through the 1970s. They discovered (and created?) many fantastic skills and opportunities for change, learning and growth.

After Grinder and Bandler started working independently from each other, each explored the field further in their own way. Bandler created Design Human Engineering and more recently Neuro Hypnotic Repatterning. Grinder developed New Code NLP, first with Judith DeLozier in Turtles All the Way Down and more recently with Carmen Bostic St Clair in Whispering in the Wind.

NLP New Code logoNew Code NLP brings together the latest developments from NLP co-creator, Dr John Grinder, and his partner, Carmen Bostic St Clair, and includes powerful yet easy-to-use processes for NLP change work and personal evolution. Even if you are familiar with “NLP” as a field, you will likely want to experience the latest and best through New Code NLP.

Inspiritive quote Grinder and Bostic (2000) to say that New Code is:

A description of NLP which uses a systemic approach to demonstrate and teach the patterns by providing a series of contexts in which they manifest spontaneously. In the New Code of NLP the unconscious of the client is explicitly assigned the responsibility for the selection of the critical elements-the desired state, the resource, or new behaviour. The unconscious is explicitly involved in all steps. There are precise constraints placed upon the selection of new behaviour, more specifically, the new behaviour must satisfy the original positive intention(s) of the behaviour to be changed. The manipulation occurs at the level of state and intention as opposed to that of behaviour.

You can read more about New Code NLP at Inspiritive and at ITANLP.

What is China NLP?

Published on 4 August, 2009 in profile. 0 Comments Tags: , , , .

China NLP has always been focused on sharing and exploring NLP experiences. I’ve just updated the “What is NLP” page to reflect this. Here’s a snippet…

Since founded by Mark Julien, China NLP brings together a community of individuals interested in exploring and developing their NLP skills. Our speakers and trainers volunteer their time to share their ideas and insights. We look to cover a wide range of subjects across the NLP domain without attachment to any particular school of thought.

In a session, we might have someone who trained with NLP University (Robert Dilts), another who trained with Tad James, a Richard Bandler-trained Executive Coach, and others who have taken their NLP training with local training companies. We welcome and value everyone.

And if you would like to contribute something to China NLP, please do contact us…

Conversational Hypnosis with Dan Smith, Saturday 1 August

Published on 26 July, 2009 in events. 1 Comment Tags: , , .

Next Saturday afternoon, we’re going to be having a session on Conversational Hypnosis.

Conversational Hypnosis – Shanghai

Saturday 1 August from 2pm – RSVP essential – 100RMB

Dan Smith

Dan Smith

Hypnosis has been part of NLP since it began with the modelling of Milton Erickson… The man credited with bringing hypnosis out of the dark ages (of stage mesmerism) did much of his work within the context of an ordinary conversation.

Just the other night, I was playing pool with my brother. And he’s very good! One of the things that I noticed was that when I was in ‘the zone’, things flowed and I would beat him without really trying. But when I was out of ‘the zone’, I couldn’t do anything right. And noticing this reminded me how important it is to be in the appropriate state for what you are doing – having good technique is important, but you gotta be in the right state for the context!

(That’s an example how you can use a metaphor from ‘normal’ life to communicate a message – just one part of Conversational Hypnosis…)

I have been exploring Conversational Hypnosis for years in a variety of contexts (in coaching, in negotiations, in marketing and especially in intimate relationships!) in Personal Transformation events that I’ve been delivering, so I figured it would be a great chance to share this with our friends in China NLP.

The venue will be somewhere central; I’ll let you know if you’re coming.
