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

Next Saturday, 12 July, 2-5pm at Arch II, 115 ChangShu Rd (at ChangLe Rd)
The China NLP Society Presents …
“A Hero’s Journey”

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.

This week with The China NLP Society: Values

We have a big week in values coming up with China NLP

Firstly, Lynda Dyer is back for a special breakfast event on Wednesday. Lynda will be speaking on “How to Elicit and Change the Values and Beliefs in Your World” in an event at Friends Kitchen from 7:30am. As it includes breakfast, there is a small charge – so please contact Hong Pan to register your place.

You can check out this values handout from Lynda for more information.

Then, Dan Smith (Chairman of The China NLP Society) will be delivering a session on Eliciting, Designing and Changing Values this Sunday afternoon.

We’ll be looking forward to a playful and interactive exploration of how we can understand and use our values to generate more congruent momentum towards what we really want to have and experience. See you there!

And, as usual, the session is free thanks to REV

Jeff Tan and Nicolas Binse coming up… next Sunday

I’m delighted to confirm that Jeff and Nicolas will be delivering a session on NLP Fundamentals next weekend. This is the first time this year that Jeff has presented a session with us and I’m sure we’re all looking forward to it.

Nicolas has been involved with China NLP for a long time and he will be sharing some specific exercises in eye accessing that will be of interest to us all.

Venue details to come – but make sure you’re ready for next Sunday afternoon, 1 June.

Eve Lo on LAB Profiles – this Saturday afternoon

As you may recall, this weekend, we are privileged to have international trainer Eve Lo joining us at MSD with a presentation on Language and Behaviour Profiles.

“LAB” stands for Language And Behavior.  It is a way of thinking about people and groups that allows you to notice and respond to how they get motivated, process information and make decisions.  We will explore
about a dozen questions that you can feed into casual conversation or use as a formal survey for groups.  As you attend to how people answer the question directly, you can notice patterns by the manner of what they do (or don’t) say.

… then, you can start using the appropriate influencing language for the situation; People respond faster when you use “their” language.
( From the Book: “Words that Change Mind” , written by Shelle Rose Charvet)

Eve Lo is an Executive Consultant with 20+ years of experience in brand management, sales/ marketing, and corporate training. You can find out more about Eve in English here or in Chinese here.
