NLP Introduction raises some smiles

Well, the Smart Psychology of NLP one day course went down well at LLMC yesterday, with another great mix of delegates, who all got their objectives met.  We love teaching this course, and always great opportunities to tell lots of stories. On this course we integrated for the second time at LLMC stories from Poppy the talking dog, as Graham had just driven her all the way from Portugal to Lincoln over the weekend.  As ever, thanks to all attendees.  Key favourites on the feedback we got were the power of the Dilts framework, a perception which Graham and I share, and the importance of getting yourself into the right state - remembering to anchor the state you want to be in before you go into various situations.  Thanks everyone for participation and making the day a success - I certainly left in the right state :)

Partnership in action

Busy weekend going over to Dublin to meet with a very forward thinking ethical pharmaceutical cmpany and a group of nursing specialists. Our part in the collaboration is to produce a patient resource and to train some nurses in coaching. Dublin is one of the friendliest cities we've ever been to, and I love the chat and the welcome we always get there from taxi drivers, hotel staff, just about everyone we meet. We really love this great attitude as well from  professionals from other disciplines who are far sighted enough to see the widespread value of coaching - big thanks to all concerned, let's see how we can get the ethos across to more and more people and empower people who are dealing with life changing diagnoses.
