NLP in Action ....                    
Empowering Intentions
The Inner Game of Getting What You Want
​Monday
November 5th , 2018
7:30PM

Some people are just naturals at it.  They manage to do whatever it is they say they're going to do.  From the little things like meeting a friend for lunch to the big things like starting a major project, making a lifestyle change, or launching a new business.  NLP has studied the "inner game" of successful people and made some useful discoveries that YOU CAN USE ... to get more of what you want and to manifest your intentions in the world.

Here's a preview of some talking points:

• Why and how to set goals
• Well Formed Outcomes for Successful Results
• Secrets of Enhancing Your Inner Vision
• Compelling Futures to Power Up Your Motivation
• Appealing to Deeper Values
• Transcending the Self  

We hope you'll join us.  It's always a lively discussion, and a chance to "try on" some new ideas.

THIS MONTH'S ONLINE MEETING
Tuesday, July 10th

Educating Hypnotists in the Digital Age

hosted by Michael Watson and Karen Hand-Harper
with guests Richard Nongard and Jason Linett

This month, the topic turns to hypnosis education - For the general public as well as for professional certification and continuing education of hypnotists.  The internet has opened up access to more information for us than at any time previously in human history. Some of that information is FABulous, and some of it is misleading .... some of it is supported more by hard science and some more by anecdote amd subjective expereince.  We'll talk about all that's out there ... and offer our thoughts about how to make the best use of the online resources.

Richard Nongard is the new owner of HPTI - the Hypnosis Practitioner Training Institute.  HPTI has been offering a year long program combining online and live modules. We are excited to hear about how his new leadership will influence the future of the Institute, and to hear his thoughts about online training.

Jason Linett IS a well known hypnosis instructor and a marketing specialist who has contributed greatly to the wider community through his WorkSmart Hypnosis Podcast .... he's created hundreds of episodes with great value to his listeners.  Some of the episodes are Jason's teaching while others are interviews with the entire "Who's Who" of hypnosis.

Michael Watson and Karen Hand-Harper are our online hosts. Experienced presenters and trainers, they've both been instrumental in bringing hypnosis to the public via online seminars and workshops, they are the creators of the Virtual Chapter ... and together they are currently halfway through an IACT approved hypnotherapy certification course ... partly in-person live and partly via interactive online classrooms.
