Welcome to 2015 - It's going to be a great year

First of all, Happy New Year - with all our best wishes to you and yours for a happy, healthy and successful 2015.

We've already had an unexpectedly busy start to the year, it seems that many people are beginning to feel confident of the economic recovery and are taking more initiative to plan for and invest in personal and staff development.

There have also been numerous inquiries about smoking cessation - which isn't surprising as the cost of smoking is many times more than £3,000 a year in cigarettes alone (for a 20 a day smoker). New Year is a great time for a new start towards healthier living. If you're struggling with motivation - just give us a call on 0151 931 5184 and book a coaching session.

And if you've reached a crossroads in life or career and aren't sure what do do next - book in for some life coaching and we'll help you find what you're looking for and make plans to achieve those goals.

We've given the website a little post-festive dust off and updated most of the pages and published our course calendar for the first half on 2015. We have a few new 1-day courses coming up in February - we'll be delivering some NLP training specifically tailored for HR and Management professionals and for Project managers. See our website or contact us for more details.

We also have our usual regular practice group date booked for 28th January, we'll be putting together the content over the next week or so, if you've any suggestions for what you'd like us to cover - do feel free to get in touch.

As always we have regular certified NLP Practitioner and NLP Master Practitioner courses running, see the website for dates and details.

We look forward to hearing from you soon,

Julie

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness

All of a sudden we have entered the final quarter of 2014, in less than 3 months it will be 2015. How did that happen?

Forget season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, it seems everyone is now gearing up for Christmas. Forget wasps and conkers, it's time to stock up on overpriced sparkly tat and panettone.

We, at NLP Liverpool are gearing up for a busy Autumn of courses and I have just extended our course calendar to include some of our 2015 courses. So click on the link below to see what we have to offer you in the coming months. You can never plan too far ahead - so if you want to express an interest in one of our courses, contact me today.


We still have some places available for our NLP Practitioner course starting on 15th October, you'll need to contact me very soon for your place. If you're too late for the October course, we have courses starting in late November and in March 2015 and May 2015, so you can even book these now and start paying in installments to spread the cost. See our website, choose your dates, and ring me to make your booking.

Remember we also run Skype coaching wherever you are in the world. So, not only are we talking to clients in the UK, this week we had an inquiry from South America and often speak to clients in Dubai - so we're available to work with you whenever you need us.

Our next NLP Practice group is scheduled for 12th November - "Finding Willpower – how to stop what you shouldn’t and do what you should!” A must for procrastinators, avoiders, chocaholics, gymphobics and people who are stuck in a rut. Let us help you out

NLP Training - Summer and Autumn schedule available

As I updated the website earlier today, I realised we'd not updated the blog for a good while - a general indication of how busy we've been the last few months.

We've had some great practitioner and master practitioner courses running, and the April NLP Practice group was a great success. We're still having a lot of interest from people wanting to study 1 to 1 at a time which suits them, so if that would enable you to study - give us a call.

Do visit our website www.nlpliverpool.com to access the latest course calendar and information.

Coming up on 19th June, we'll be running another practice group, and will have a scheduled certified NLP Practitioner course running 9th - 16th July. (https://www.nlpliverpool.com/nlp_practitioner.html)


We've been doing some coaching via Skype to different time zones which has entailed some "silly-O'Clock" sessions - a great way to get a VERY early start on the day - it's great to be able to be so flexible.

So wherever you are in the world - we can talk you through whatever it is you need.

Private NLP and coaching sessions available by arrangement, in person or by phone or Skype, evening weekend and even Silly O'clock sessions available. Call us on 0151 931 5184.

NLP Liverpool - for personal development, training, therapy, interview preparation, presentation skills, bespoke training - your local expert.

A bright 2014 ahead

My Blogger posts are becoming more infrequent as Facebook takes over my time and attention. It is so much more immediate in terms of feedback, yet I still find myself once a month or so, popping over to blogger and writing a little something.

2014 has started with a huge increase in confidence from our clients, it seems people are happy to look ahead and book ahead. We have training booked into the diary as far as next December and have had a very busy January.

Now we've hit February, we're looking forward to our first NLP Practitioner training of this year, beginning on 5th March.

And later this week on Wednesday 5th February we have our NLP Practice group which is always a great event.

Mind your language – Tuning in to words with NLP

A workshop style session, with tea, coffee and buffet, and lots of learning and laughing for only £15 - if you'd like to join us better book straight away - click here www.nlpliverpool.com

Call us for information about our certified NLP training, for individuals and companies, for personal coaching and therapy.

Telephone our expert NLP Trainer, George Cunningham on 0151 931 5184 to find out how he can help you.

Until next time....keep up to the minute with our Facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/NLPLiverpool remember to like AND follow to get all our updates.

See you soon

An Autumn Tale

I was quite surprised to realise how long it had been since my last post. We've gone from weekly, to monthly to barely once a season with the blog lately. So, as we're well into Autumn, here's a quick update.

Facebook allows a much more immediate and much more interactive platform with everyone, so unfortunately, the poor blog has been rather neglected. I will continue give it the occasional update, but if you're looking for up to the minute information, it has to be the website www.nlpliverpool.com or our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/NLPLiverpool

Last week we ran our NLP Liverpool Practice group - Better choices & decisions with "propulsion systems"

A rocket theme seemed appropriate as it was the day after Bonfire night, and many of us (myself included) need a "rocket" to get on and make a decision sometimes. It was a great evening, with lots of goal setting and some people realising that they must propel themselves to act soon - before it's too late!

The next event will be on Wednesday 11th December, the title will be Handling Difficult Relatives
(Strategies for a Calm Christmas)
You can head over to the website already to book your place. Of course all the techniques will be applicable in business situations too.


George has recently spent a weekend catching up with one of our very early trainees in NLP, Paul Cosens, who has now trained as an NLP Trainer and has a thriving NLP practice in Canary Wharf. He ran a weekend training course for Canary Wharf NLP Community, with George training conversational strategies and nested loops to a great crowd of NLPers.  

The last few months have seen us tailoring and delivering training for solicitor's practices, restaurant staff, a recruitment agency, and teachers, with some university lecturing coming up next week too.

The next public course in the calendar is our NLP Practitioner course starting 27th November, there is still space if you'd like to book. Do check our website for details of this and all our other courses.

Remember, we frequently train people 1:1 and offer individual coaching sessions by phone and Skype as well as in person.

Do like us on Facebook and make sure you keep up with our regular events by emailing me Julie@nlpliverpool.com and asking for our newsletter.

Until the winds change, and Winter blows in,

Julie

Summer at last

Summer has made it's way up north to NLP Liverpool at last. And as usual we were hoping for some quiet weeks of breathing space to tidy up the office, catch up on reading all the newsletters that fly into our in boxes and generally get prepared for Autumn.

We're also hoping to sneak away for a week or two's Welsh Camping, but it seems that this has triggered an big demand for our services, George has a full day of training and coaching in Birmingham this week, has had a couple of phone clients today and has worked the last few weekends as well.

The new schedule for Autumn has been on the website for a few weeks now, with a couple of NLP Practitioner courses lined up for early October and late Nov/Dec, with flexibility to split the study (and the cost) into 2 parts.

You can access a copy here http://www.nlpliverpool.com/Assets/NLP%20Liverpool%20Calendar%202013.pdf 

We've also had a big increase in the number of people wanting to complete an NLP Practitioner course in their own time 1 to 1 (hence the weekend working) which we've been able to accommodate. If this is what you're looking for, give us a call on 0151 931 5184 and we'll fit the study to your schedule.

Our next NLP Practice group is running in Liverpool on Wednesday 18th September, we'll be taking suggestions for the next few weeks, so if you have a good idea of a subject to work on, then email me and let me know, or post it to our Facebook page, and we'll gauge reaction.

Watch the website or Facebook for updates, or better still, put it into your diary now and email me to register your interest and I'll keep you posted and remind you to book nearer the time.

That's all for now folks, I've a mailing to get out, watch for it hitting you mailbox or email me  julie@nlpliverpool.com  to get your copy.

Spring is coming - Bright lights and light nights

The garden is finally bursting into leaf and the daffodils are just about ready to open, they are certainly much later than usual this year, so they're twice as welcome.

Here at NLP Liverpool we've had the usual mix of NLP training clients, private therapy and NLP sessions, with an increase in Skype coaching over the last few months. The February practice group session was a huge success, with a big turn out and lots of laughing and lots of learning. We'll be running a similar event on 24th April, with the subject choice offered to voters on our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/#!/NLPLiverpool, so hop over and like us and place your vote. At time of writing it looks like a race from the front by "Introduction to hypnosis" with "NLP for Presentations" lagging a good way behind.

Our next certified NLP Practitioner Training will be running from 7th - 14th June. If you book now and pay by 1st May we'll give you a huge discount on our normal price - the early bird offer fee is £1250 + VAT (£1500 total) - the usual fee is £1740 - so now's the time to book and be certain of your place at this price.



If you are at a crossroads in your life or career or are finding it hard to see your way forward in these difficult economic times, call us on 0151 931 5184 and arrange a coaching session so we can help you see your way forward.

That's all for now folks, I've a mailing to get out, watch for it hitting you mailbox or email me julie@nlpliverpool.com  to get your copy.

Busy, Busy, Busy

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.

If you'd like some personal 1 to 1 coaching or therapy then call us to arrange a session in person or via telephone or Skype.

Bespoke design and delivery of unique training is our speciality - try us.

As always up to date information about us and our services is available on our website www.nlpliverpool.com or just call us on 0151 931 5184 to tell us what you need and let us help you.

We look forward to hearing from you

A good week

I love writing the blog on a Friday, especially when it's been a good week. I always find it a great way to review events and very occasionally give myself a pat on the back, and also help clear my head for next week's tasks.

We went to an excellent 60 really useful minutes session at Liverpool Chamber today looking at Outlook and using it more efficiently. It was delivered by Rachael and Tracey from Happy and I've come back to the office and put some of the tips into use straight away. Just a few small changes should make a big difference. Some of the features I'd not used were demonstrated and I realised that just moving things about on the screen would make a big difference. I'll also be better able to keep tracks on what I've delegated and whether George has done it!

The rest of the week has been an interesting mixed bag of training, admin, accounts, prospecting and meetings, one of which we had over Skype to save us driving into North Wales. It was very tempting to have an "away day" in beautiful scenery, and the drive is often a great opportunity to plan without the usual distractions. Face to face meetings are also much nicer, but common sense prevailed and we saved some CO2 and chatted over broadband instead. Being able to share the screen is great too, especially when you are planning a brand new course and merging two sets of ideas into one supercharged training. It's going to be great, and the content should be almost complete next week, with first delivery set sometime in January.

George had a couple of days individual training booked at the beginning of the week, which gave me some quiet time in the office to catch up with the admin and accounts side of things.

Think that's where I'll start again on Monday. Going to return to Outlook now and do some more weeding and filing.

Very satisfying.

Happy Weekend All

Practice Group - still a great success

The NLP Liverpool Practice group earlier this week at The Quaker Meeting House in Liverpool was fantastic. With nearly 20 people, we were able to make 4 groups to work on strategies, looking at eliciting good strategies. Then we finished off with a short demonstration silencing "the voice inside your head". Everyone enjoyed it, we kept them all topped up with tea, coffee and butties, and were made most welcome at the venue.

So welcome in fact, that we've booked the next meeting there for Wednesday 25th May, you can book your place now at http://www.nlpliverpool.com/

We're also taking confirmed bookings now for the NLP Master Practitioner 16th - 20th May and 4th -8th May, and for the NLP Practitioner 17th - 24th June.

We're also offering bespoke 1 to 1 Practitioner and Master Practitioner training, more and more, people are looking for training on their terms, at a time that suits them, and we are really happy to be as flexible as possible. Training individuals is great for them and great for us. Call us for details or with your requirements and we'll fit around you.

Time to go, nice to have the light evenings back with us again. I love this blossom and buds time of year.

A green end to the week!

Another busy week. Now trying to juggle the end of the week tasks, those emails that really shouldn't wait over the weekend and the keeping up to date with the filing. And this blog of course.

Finished training one of our own NLP practitioner courses last Friday, an 8 day, full - on, training experience for George and our delegates. I know a lot of laughing went on, as the reception staff at The Racquet Club kept asking "What are you doing in there?" as there was such a lot of giggling and guffawing going on. The best laugh of the week was when the group invented a new NLP technique, based on The Milton Model, only using such cheesy expressions it had to be re-named The Stilton Model. We hope this will become a mature addition to the cheeseboard of NLP, with grateful thanks to Ryan.

We've had a number of enquiries this week about our Presentation Skills courses, which reminded me to update the website. We'll be running for a maximum of 10 delegates on 11th and 12th May. I have 2 places reserved already, so contact me soon to ensure your place.

Been struggling with our software again this week. We upgraded our Adobe suite, an absolutely essential tool for our documents, photography and web site development. I'm not even going to relate the sorry tale of spectacularly bad customer service from Adobe with regard to the purchase which swallowed up 2 days with telephone calls and emails.

The new version makes updating the website much easier and will help with the photography we do (when I can get time to concentrate on learning all the new features), but the pdf maker has disappeared from Word.

Gone.

POOF.

Just like that!

There seems to be no coaxing it back and no amount of cajoling or sweet-talking is having any effect. We've run "repair made", reinstalled, restarted and all to no avail. The up side is, that while George has sat and deepened his frown lines all afternoon (we know it's serious when I vacate my seat and allow him "at" my machine) I've got to grips with a huge pile of filing and filled a bag with paper recycling. So I'm feeling quite green and calm.

All in all, a good week, I always enjoy sending the licence agreements off to The US, having trained another bunch of people in the subtle art of NLP.

Better go, need to pack a child off to cub camp!

More news next week,

Julie

The first 2010 Blog

First of all, Happy New Year, I hope 2010 is as exciting for you as I'm expecting it to be for me. I've neglected the blog a bit recently, which just shows, I suppose, how busy we've been.

We're just putting the final arrangements together for the 1st February Taster evening, feel free to email and book your place now through the website www.nlpliverpool.com, where you'll find all the information as we have it.

The New Year started well, with an unexpected bonus of 3 day's extra holiday for the children. What could we do, but embrace the opportunity to enjoy the first decent snow in about 30 years, and go sledging. I am the proud possessor of bruises I couldn't possibly show anyone! I've finally learnt to embrace opportunities when they present - the old me would have stuck to my schedule without wavering.

So we're putting in more than a couple of late nights in the office (with the fire on - I know we're green ambassadors but it's still quite chilly) now everyone's back at school.

I'm overhauling the website little by little, and we'll be putting together some exciting new courses for later in the year, so keep watching.

Do keep following and I look forward to hearing from you,

Julie

P.S. Take life's opportunities, even if they do give you bruises!
