So I thought I'd put it up on Youtube to show how NLP is done when NLPworks.

The feedback has been incredible! Some testimonials have been put out on the website at http://www.nlpworks.com/nlpintro.php, and I'll share a couple with you here below.

N.B. We've never ever spent a penny promoting www.resetyourbrain.com. This was always an experiment in viral marketing. So tonight I found that as the title of this post mentions, we've served 98 countries http://www.nlpworks.com/blog/2008/07/people-from-98-countries-have-reset.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Hugh Comerford)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30003721.post-1301749848376773599Tue, 15 Jul 2008 12:54:00 +00002008-07-15T13:44:26.483-04:00Subtitled, "Why NLP often has such a crappy reputation..." The title of this post is a quote from someone who was in my Introduction to NLP course in Montreal this past weekend. One of the participants was a clinical psychologist who told the following story: "A few years back I had a client come to see me.

At the time I spoke about the differences between 'classical NLP' and New Code NLP. It was well received and I met some great people at the event. I was pleased to be invited back again and last Tuesday spoke to about 50 people about the 'hidden-in-plain-sight' power of a simple StateShift™.

The occasion is an NLP Course for people who are Certified Practitioners of NLP. Why would I ask people who are Certified Practitioners to take an NLP Course? It kinda goes like this: Step 1) Take NLP Training. Notice things are new and fresh because things changed in your life.

It's 2 1/2 hours of full-on NLP training...for free! Part of the mystery of the event for me is how many people will come and what they think NLP really is. Once 20 people signed up and one person showed up. She wanted 'boyfriend manipulation advice'. She didn't need it. Another time 3 people signed up and 15 showed up, so I never quite know whathttp://www.nlpworks.com/blog/2008/06/another-successful-free-evening-nlp.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Hugh Comerford)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30003721.post-3206013957337954584Tue, 13 May 2008 00:34:00 +00002008-05-12T20:38:45.225-04:00NLP IntroductionJust wanted to give you a heads up that NLP Centres CANADA is holding 4 Introduction to NLP courses over the next few months. 2 will be in Mississauga, 2 in Montreal. We will be limiting the number of participants in each course, so you have been warned! :-) Head on over to http://www.nlpworks.com/nlpintro.php for details and to reserve a seat.http://www.nlpworks.com/blog/2008/05/announcing-introduction-to-nlp-course.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Hugh Comerford)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30003721.post-655173041502904566Sun, 11 May 2008 17:54:00 +00002008-05-11T14:04:24.685-04:00This doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it's another great reminder how nlpworks. The other day Jack and I were talking about what we could get Jennifer for mother's day. Jack suggested we get her a Dora blanket. I wasn't so sure. So I did what I suggest YOU do whenever you want to buy a gift for someone... I took a few quiet minutes and thought deeply about Jennifer, thinking http://www.nlpworks.com/blog/2008/05/how-to-buy-perfect-gift-using-nlp.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Hugh Comerford)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30003721.post-9059707614113094272Tue, 29 Apr 2008 23:44:00 +00002008-04-29T19:54:36.753-04:00Forgot to mention in the last post; the most neglected people in the world of NLP training companies are Practitioners (until they sign up to be Master Practitioners of course...). I want to be very clear: If you've taken training with NLP Centres CANADA in Toronto, Mississauga or anywhere, or if you've taken training with any other company, the new model includes YOU!

If you read my NLP Cannibalism posting, you know the ‘Elephant’ in the NLP room is that there are no NLP Training courses being offered in the GTA (except ours) that follow Canadian and International standards. As a matter of fact, off the top of my head I'm only aware of one other company in Canada that does. The problem, as I mentioned is time and money.

Being a young man I didn't bother going to the doctor. I walked funny for about a month but the pain faded only to come up 4 or 5 times a year when I was walking up stairs. A couple of years ago I thought (duhh) it would be a smart move to check it out; to make sure that the knee wouldn't become a http://www.nlpworks.com/blog/2008/04/belief-cysts.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Hugh Comerford)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30003721.post-4256548022647774172Mon, 21 Apr 2008 13:16:00 +00002008-04-21T09:24:11.365-04:00Bandler and Grinder postulated that there are no inappropriate emotions, just contextual mismatches. It's appropriate to laugh, but not at a funeral. It's appropriate to cry, but not at a comedy show. Their position was that laughter and crying are appropriate but must be matched to the situation. The other part of this is there are no inappropriate emotions or states...and I think I have a http://www.nlpworks.com/blog/2008/04/inappropriate-emotions.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Hugh Comerford)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30003721.post-7377681739576989643Sat, 12 Apr 2008 13:01:00 +00002008-04-12T09:03:04.143-04:00FINALLY (Okay it was my fault...) the new website is up.

If you know me you know why I got involved in NLP in the first place. Being certified as a Practitioner was the last thing on my mind.

Like most kids he has his own peculiarities. When we first brought him to the school back in September, he was faced with being left alone for the first time with strangers. Understandably, he was pretty upset. So in the midst of his wailing, begging not to be left behind, I looked up and noticed a big kid....oh I'd better explain about Jack's nurser school...

If you knew you were going to spend the day with your kids, how would it go if your To Do list said: “Be playful and patient.” If you are like many productive people, you rely on a daily To-Do list to get things done.
