The Best and Worst in 2008

2008 is fast coming to a close and for a number of reasons has been pretty memorable.
It was great to add Steve Andreas to a circle of people I have great NLP discussions with, to attend the IASH conference and to meet a bunch of folks that are focussed on using NLP and other skills to help others. Co presenting with Frank Farrelly in the UK and being in his company was another highlight, alongside building the new NLPmp3 site as well as developing a series of new projects that will be released in 2009, alongside a host of new workshops in the USA, Europe and UK.

Some of the nuttiest momements include some online interactions where *amnesia took hold* alongside a host of other behaviours, including a supposed coach who wanted to charge 10,000 a quarter for clients, admitting that he had NO EXPERIENCE of one to one coaching! Little wonder some of the public are wary about NLPers! Worse still now some NLPers actually believe that after a weeks "advanced training" they are experienced clinicians or "therapists"

On a brighter and more productive note, the longstanding education project is currently being beta tested and I already have a great new DVD being edited which has myself and Frank Farrelly discussing therapeutic expectations with clients. This will appear in early 2009, prior to the first UK event.
