John Dorris on Rapport in Guangzhou

What do you want most in life? Can you get it by yourself or will you have to work with other people to get it done?

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.

This will be in Guangzhou at 13 Factories, 7 Tian He Bei Street, Ti Yu Xi Lu, Tianhe District 体育西路天河北街7号

Remember, that’s next Wednesday, 26 May, 2010 – from 7pm

The Magic of Rapport with Andy Clark

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.

(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…

NLP in Love – with Dan Smith and Wendy Wang

Sunday 15 February from 2pm

Wendy Wang and Dan Smith led a three-hour session exploring Perceptual Positions, the Dilts Meta Mirror and Love Strategies.

We were pleased to be joined by at least 14 people, ranging from some who had been married for many years and wanted to maintain the passion to others who were still looking for love.

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!
