NLP courses

I read a great reply to Eric Robbie. It was from Jonathan Aitfeld who was commenting that anyone joining a practitioner course with more than 20 people, and less than 50% of the time with experiential learning is only attending a presentation. A trainer has to demonstrate, and watch the learners going through the processess to see if they are truly learning.

No end of time I have met people who believe they are NLP practitioners, only to find they have attended courses with hundreds of other people, and no very little if anything about NLP. They know all about the trainer, and lots of stories, but don't know how to carry our the techniques, let alone tell stories or metaphors.

The people who attend these course believe they are following a guru, and some even attend because they just want to see the trainer and not really learn anything.

It is better to watch, learn and then do and then you can begin to call yourself an NLP.

Good trainers never call themselves gurus, they would not want it. They don't want you to follow them, and but to create your own pathway, and learn as you go along

No smoking day

Whether it it is no smoking day or any ordinary day, if you really want to stop smoking, you can. It is all down to whether you feel brave enough to do what you have to do to stop. If you respond to some kind of treatment, then go for it. You know it makes no sense to smoke, but you feel compelled to do so. You might get something from smoking, but the effects of smoking are far greater than the rewards you think you get.

BUT, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

If you really are fed up with smoking, then think of the financial benefits and the health benefits you will get. Make that picture in your mind far greater than the need to smoke.
