If you are looking for an excellent NLP Practitioners course in the south of England, you may be interested in June O'Driscoll's course which is being held at the Holiday Inn, Gatwick, West Sussex from 18th to 25th May.
June O'Driscoll is a member of the Society of NLP and was trained by Richard Bandler (co-creator of NLP) and Paul McKenna. She regularly works with both of them. June has developed her own unique and engaging approach to training NLP practitioners and has inspired many of her students to integrate NLP into their lives in remarkable and rewarding ways.
I particularly like the way June covers so much NLP practitioner material in just seven days. She is a highly skilled trainer, adept at effective communication and at making learning fun. It seems the more you learn with her the more you have fun, and the more you have fun the more you learn.
June O'Driscoll is not only brilliant at teaching people who have never learnt NLP before she is also incredible at imparting new skills and levels of expertise to people who already have knowledge of the subject and to people who are already licenced NLP practitioners.
The delegate price for the whole course is £1,457. June is also offering the course at a special reduced rate to anybody who already has an NLP Practitioners certificate and would like to retrain as part of their continuous professional development. The special rate for the whole course is less than a £100 a day i.e. £677 for the whole week for anybody with an NLP Practitioners certificate.
June's co-trainer for the course is Geoff Rolls. He has a tremendous sense of humour and has an amazing knowledge of NLP language patterns, the Meta Model and the Milton Model.
I will also be their assisting June and Geoff.
Completion of the course will entitle you to join June's Yahoo Group and her NLP Practice Group, both of which are valuable sources of learning and continuous development.

NLP - The Power of the Senses
Wow - Isn't it wonderful to be reminded of the instant state change we can experience just by being in a location that makes us feel good.
I have just spent the weekend in a beautiful camping site called Wowo in East Sussex. I have been there three times now, so I enjoy the instant good feelings I experience there because of all the positive anchors:
As I start packing my bags and getting my things together, lifting things into the back of the car, looking at the stuffed boot, tent, sleeping bag, various bits of equipment, I feel excited and I am already visualising the weekend ahead. I am already imagining being there and there is something curiously relaxing about this kind of excitement.
Then, during the journey to the site, there is a familiar sequence of signposts and landmarks which have become a sliding anchor with the state of excitement becoming increasingly strong as I get nearer to the campsite itself.
As the excitement builds, and as I enjoy focusing on the excitement more and more, I discover that any residual feelings of tension from the week drain away completely, effortlessly. It reminds me of pulling the plug out of the bath and letting it empty completely. There's a wonderful feeling of lightness.
When I reach the campsite my senses are overwhelmed by positive anchors. The sheer beauty of the lush green landscape feels me with joy to be alive. The greens are complemented by the pretty blooms of blues, purples, yellows and whites. And there is something about the freshness of the air as I gently breathe, something restful and yet invigorating. Meanwhile the birds take it in turns with each of their unique little choruses of welcome. It's as if their chorus of sound creates a sheet beneath me gradually lifting me to the level of the branches so I can be there in the sky with them.
So the location has created a perfect state of joy and relaxation. And, at the same time, as my friends arrive and greet me and as we help each other assemble the tents I automatically enjoy a warm feeling inside, a feeling of contentment which always arises in me when I take the time to enjoy the smiling faces of my friends and to hear in their voices everything I have come to appreciate about them and about our friendship.
Isn't it funny how it only takes a few moments to focus outside of ourselves, to see the beauty around us, and to notice the people there we care about, so those good feelings are allowed to emerge.
As I enjoy recalling the wonderful weekend I think to myself "Isn't it great, whatever your particular magical memories are, you can recall those good memories anytime you like, see what you saw, hear what you heard and feel what you felt and allow yourself to be there as long as you like to have some good feelings right now."
I have made a promise to myself to trigger these anchors using my imagination more often. Because I know any time I want to feel relaxed, to experience calmness or contentment, to have pleasant warm feelings inside all I have to do is remember to do this, to recall the magic of my special place. And I know the more I practise this the more it becomes a habit to make myself feel good quickly and instantly in any situation I choose.

Being Busy
I read a quote on Twitter today that went something like "success comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it". An initial reaction to these apparently wise words might be "Great, I don't have to try and be successful. I can just make myself busy and it will happen."
Ummmm..... Is it just me or is there a major flaw in this proposition?
It is very easy to be busy. It's easy to find things to do, especially in this age of technology, e-mails, web browsing, networking.... There is just so much we can do to keep ourselves busy. Yet, I can't help noticing, from my experience in all kinds of work situations, the busiest people are not necessarily the most productive. So I wonder what would happen if we were to make a habit of stepping back and just checking what exactly it is we are doing when we are "busy".
Using NLP skills to consciously observe and track our own patterns of behaviour I wonder what kind of short effective routines we could build into our day to make sure our activity is productive.
I have a hunch if you maintain more control over how and what you do when you are busy you might actually find yourself becoming more productive and less busy. And as you become less busy becoming even more successful.
I wonder what kind of changes in the quality of life arise when you allow yourself to have still time, time doing nothing. What if being busy was escaping from the greater challenge of being still with oneself? What if being still with oneself opened up a whole new level of consciousness beyond your imagination? What if all those things that the ancient sages said about meditation, stillness and self realisation turned out to be true just because you stopped being busy long enough to notice?
