We've been very busy over the last few months, and once again I have neglected my blog. The usual Friday evening, end of week slot I set aside for updating the blog seems to have been swallowed up by other things for the last few weeks. I really enjoy the writing, as reviewing my week helps me fell proud of what I've achieved, and plan the following week's activities. So I MUST do it more regularly.
I'll let you into a little secret, I attended a Liverpool Chamber 60 Really Useful Minutes session on Blogging this morning, with Sara Sartorius from Brava Design. I learned about some platforms we're not currently using, and it would be a waste put some of it into practice straight away! Look out Pinterest, here I come.
This month we've also attended a number of networking events and I was lucky enough to get a place on a superb Social Networking seminar run by The Women's Organisation, which really helped me with twitter.
We've run a couple of NLP Liverpool Practice groups since I last wrote the blog, both were well attended and great evenings. For the April event, we ran the "Dealing with Negativity" workshop again, as so many people had wanted to come and were unable to make the first event. The May evening was "Dealing with Procrastination" - We just couldn't put it off any longer. This was a great fun evening, based around the premise of "Eat That Frog". The frog is the unpleasant task you are likely to put off until later, or until it's urgent or worse still, overdue. The idea behind the Eat That Frog principle is that if the worst thing you have to do today is eat a frog, then better get it out of the way first. And if you've a number of frogs to eat, better start with the biggest and ugliest. See the book by Brian Tracy for more ideas on being more efficient.
We ran a "Building on Success" workshop for an Ad agency in Liverpool recently which was very well received. It's so important in the current climate that organisations continue to train their staff and also take time to recognise their successes and focus how to build on them in the future.
Next week, we'll be mailing our newsletter with details of the next NLP evening session, "Silencing the Worrier Within", which promises to be another stimulating evening of learning NLP techniques you can relate to your work and life. Do come and join us. See www.nlpliverpool.com for full details.
There's still time to book for the NLP Practitioner Programme 18th - 25th June, call me on 0151 931 5184 straight away to register your interest.
Time to sign off now, do follow us on Facebook and Twitter, and sign up for the blog, which I'm going to grow and re-format over the next few months.
Until next time
Keep Well,
Julie

Happy New (Financial) Year
April has sprung with bluebells, glorious sunshine, howling gales and sleet! It's been a busy few months, so apologies for few posts and fewer newsletters, we've been busy training and meeting new people and working on exciting new projects for the coming quarter. As is often the case, they have to remain under wraps for the moment, we'll tell you more next time.
This is going to be a short post as I've a mailing to get out before Easter. We've had some lovely practitioner trainings this quarter and met some fascinating private and coaching clients. The practice group in February was so well received and there were so many people who wanted to come but couldn't, that we are re-running a very similar event on Wednesday 18th April. You can find full details and link to booking through Paypal by clicking here
As always, we've a couple of certified NLP Practitioner courses coming up over the next few months, we're taking bookings for the 18th -25th June course now.

Oh look, it's February already
Once again, I'm writing the blog on a Friday evening after an exceptionally busy and varied week. And I'm also wondering where January went.
We've had a really busy time since the last blog post, working very hard on a new venture for us, trialling a course for the automotive industry. The feedback was great so far, and we're hoping to see an upturn in sales and more importantly customer satisfaction, which is what the course was designed to improve - whether a sale went ahead or not. Watch this space for more details.
Earlier this week we undertook some training ourselves - it's unusual to be sat on the delegate side of the room - but we were in great hands. We went to one of Mary Murtagh's "How to run your own PR" workshops, what can I say other than, it was excellent. She has style! Slick, funny, informative and just exactly what we needed - I'm going to schedule in some time, at least once a month to attend to a bit of writing and see what we can achieve.
It reminded me that we really ought to start doing Radio interviews again. A few years ago George went to 7 Waves Radio a couple of times and he was a great interviewee. I shouldn't be surprised though - he just loves what he does, and he loves to talk about it!
We started our February NLP Practitioner course today and have a lovely group. We've had enough interest in the next course in June already, to think seriously about running a March course, to tie in with the end of the financial year - some people always save their training budget until the last minute.
There is also still leadership funding for leads of SMEs which is worth 50% - I can't understand why more people haven't jumped at the chance. For a VAT registered business, you can get your certified NLP Practitioner course, with a full 7 days training for only £725. If you want it, you've only got until 29th February to apply, and until 31st March to complete your course, so do it NOW. Contact me on 0151 931 5184 for a chat, we'll see if you'd be eligible and refer you to the funding agency.
So I've put it onto the website, www.nlpliverpool.com and if we have enough takers, we'll run an intensive 7 day Certified NLP Practitioner course, Saturday 17th - 24th March (with a rest day on Sunday 18th for Mother's day). If you're interested get in touch now.
Just spell checked this and alongside the usual typos, the word "blog" has been highlighted as a possible error - I've been offered "bog", "log" or "blag", none of which will do!
Before I go, remember the Practice Group on 23rd February, and 1 to 1 coaching available in the meantime, in person, by phone or Skype. Call us to book in.
Best Regards
Julie

Tuesday 10 January 2012
It's been an exceptionally busy start to the year, it seems everyone has decided that this is the year they are going to make a change. And when they want to make the change, they need to do it now! I spent the first few days of the year making sure the website was updated and current, with our course calendar for the rest of 2012.
We're making it our mission to help as many people as possible become confident presenters, and have a 2 day course running every month until at least the middle of the year. We're only taking 10 on each course, to ensure everyone gets enough time on their feet to make a massive difference to their delivery techniques. So choose your dates and book your course as soon as possible, see the website for details.
The NLP Liverpool practice group on 18th January is booking up fast, and as we'll be working on "Dealing with difficult people" we're expecting a bumper turn out. From a vicious boss to those nasty relatives, or that annoying salesperson or insubordinate or sulky staff member, we'll teach you techniques to deal with them, and leave you with the tactics to help in the future. We're also hoping to pick up some spectacular stories from you, so if you've a tale to tell, bring it along and we'll help you with difficult people and situations. Click here for more details and booking via PayPal.
As always, there is an 8 day NLP Practitioner course in the offing, with the next dates scheduled for 3rd - 10th February and 18th - 25th June. Book now and we can hold your place and even arrange for you to pay in installments if you'd find that easier.
