Wednesday, 23 March, from 7pm at 13 Factories, Guangzhou.

Following the success of the session in December “Asking Powerful Questions” we will dig a little deeper this month by looking into what happens when we communicate. We will explore the process that takes the information we want to share and the results we actually create, looking specifically at what is communication and what are some of the steps we can take to start improving our communication immediately.

This session will be presented by the China NLP Society South China Organizer John Dorris.

As we know from practical experience the way we feel about the world is often the only way we can describe it to the other people in our lives. The other side of the coin though is that we often can only feel about the world the way we describe it in our own words. Our words, in effect, limit our choices about how we want to feel and the actions we want to take to create a positive change. At this month’s NLP we will look at how we can ask questions that indentify the limiting beliefs we hold and in turn create greater personal freedom to change what is holding us back.

John will introduce several “Meta Model” techniques to give you the chance to ask Powerful Questions and break through the limitations you and those around you are experiencing!

Guangzhou – 28 July – from 7pm

Take a moment to imagine what you want most to achieve in your life. Now consider what is stopping you from having that. Ask yourself, “What do I believe this is keeping me from having what I really want?”

The ideas that stop us from achieving or fulfilling the life that we want are called limiting beliefs. They may fill our lives and have many well thought out reasons to keep us from being the person that we want to become. But what if they didn’t have to?

This month, we will take some time to identify what are limiting beliefs and how they have affected us. We will go through fun and easy coaching activities to challenge those beliefs and create personal breakthroughs. These are techniques have been used to change lives and create a greater sense of personal freedom and empowerment by NLP practitioners, coaches, and motivational speakers around the world.

Topics include:

• The Frog in the Well,
• Self Talk, and
• WTTTTPP.

John has been leading China NLP sessions in South China since completing his NLP Practitioner training.

We have many kinds of teams including our work teams, our families, some of us have teams we play with for fun, or work with for charities and individual passions. It seems that being a part of a “team” and collaborating with other people is a part of all of our lives. Being able to understand each other and why we are similar and different can change and improve any team environment. When we can better understand each other we can begin to create strategies and habits that can improve our happiness when we work with others, our team’s effectiveness, and hopefully the quality of our life.

Meta Programs describe the some of the ways our unconscious mind defines our thinking and actions. We will look at 8 easy to understand meta-programs that are commonly encountered and easily observed in our daily lives.

We will talk about what methods we can use to affect our own meta-programs and how we can begin to improve our relationships with the people in our lives. This is an easy way to create an understanding about why some teams work and communicate better with the teams in our lives.

John Dorris, South China NLP’s organizer, has over seven years of experience working with teams across China and as a coach for high level leadership teams. In this session we will do a self-assessment and talk about how to better understand and work with the teams in our lives.

Guangzhou – 23 June – from 7pm

Most likely you will have to communicate and interact with someone at some point to get it done. No matter what you do the ability to quickly build and maintain relationships, or rapport as we say in NLP, with a large number of people from different backgrounds will help you to get what you want.

The basic idea behind building rapport is this: When people are like each other they like each other.

On the other hand when people are not like each they don’t like each other. NLP practitioners know there are six elements of build­ing rapport that can be used to break down barriers and create quick yet lasting connections. These six elements are often combined into a simple expression, mirroring and matching.

NLP practitioners have used these techniques to help in improving their relationships, improving their effectiveness at sales and negotiations and even creating romantic relationships with potential lovers!

John Dorris, South China NLP’s organizer will share the techniques he uses in building lasting relationships as a coach and mentor as well as a successful business person. You will have opportunities to begin practicing your rapport build­ing and can leave the evening with new tools to improve your life and your relationships.

In your mind carefully recreate the memory.

Think back to who was with you, where were they standing or sitting? Where were you? What could you see around you? What could you hear in the background? Were other people speaking, what were they saying? Was it hot or cold? How did you feel in that moment? Would you like to recreate the feelings or emotional state from that particular moment? Would you like to make it stronger, weaker, or change it altogether?

Last month we began an exploration into the preferences we have for experiencing the world around us. This month the China NLP Society Guangzhou will look at how our sense affect our emotional states particularly the emotions connected to our memories. We will do this by taking our journey to explore the submodalities associated with our senses.

The evening includes an introduction to the sub-conscious mind. From their we will delve deeper into the sub-conscious mind and our memories. Using NLP techniques associated with our sensory preferences and their related elements we explore how we relate our senses and their submodalities to our emotional states.

We will have an opportunity for breakout sessions to begin a journey of exploring our own memories. Join us for an exciting evening of self-discovery and exploration.
