Finally, word is getting out! www.mindworkscoaching.net
On April 5 an article (a long article!) on NLP, appeared in the Montreal Gazette. April 11 begins the annual conference of the Canadian Association of NLP and to celebrate the occasion, the Gazette interviewed some international names and some local practitioners.
The columnist of “The Saboteur Within,” Stephanie Whittaker, summed it up well by heading the article: “The use of neuro linguistic programming is rising as people try to live happier lives.” But as the article revealed, people are doing more than trying.
Besides providing some of the ideas behind NLP from the mouths of NLP professionals themselves, the article detailed the cure of one woman’s elevator phobia and created quite the buzz. The all too common fear of public speaking was explored as John Overdurf, an NLP trainer from the US, talked about the unconscious aspects of any fear. Needless to say, my phone has been ringing all day and I will be ridding some people of fear of public speaking next week. It’s about time the public was told!
Even Timeline Therapy (now known as Time Empowerment Techniques) was given it’s moment in the spotlight and recognized for its power to create rapid change, in this case, with a client prone to bouts of road rage.
Thank you the Gazette!
