Here's what you're going to get on DVD 1

Right from the start, you'll hear me using NLP to teach NLP, nesting loops, embedding commands & using powerful presuppositions to embed the learnings in your unconscious, as well as your conscious mind (after all, you'll be watching & listening to the DVDs with your conscious mind too!)
You may be shocked to discover that there's no such thing as a limiting belief. But you'll be even more shocked to discover why that's GREAT NEWS when it comes to changing the beliefs you perceive as limiting you.
If you've ever found learning to be a struggle, you're going to enjoy having it powerfully & deeply reframed into a fun & natural process (I use a contrast frame to do this – after all, contrast is the basic unit of learning.)
You may not realise that you already do Sleight of Mouth, but you do. Its how you keep your beliefs in place & make your world make sense. Later on in the programme, you'll see me do a demo with Diana, where I get her to demonstrate the natural, automatic sleight of mouth patterns that she didn't even realise she knew!
You may have heard that every behaviour has a positive intention. What you may not know is why it's like that, & how every belief has a positive intention (even the ones that really annoy you!) This is like the “secret sauce” of belief change, the thing that let's you eliminate resistance at a stroke.
You'll see me using a powerful technique to create a seperate channel for the conscious & unconscious mind, to let me communicate with the unconscious (this was one of Milton Erickson's favourite tools).
You'll see a demonstration of “opposition response”, a function of our mammal brain. This is one of the biggest things that trips up coaches & therapists alike, but you're going to learn how to avoid triggering it.
You'll learn about the qualities of beliefs, before learning about the underlying PHYSICAL structure of beliefs (I can guarantee you haven't learned about this anywhere else, yet it's pivotal to doing effective belief-change work).
You'll hear the story of my public-speaking phobia, & why this is relevant to the whole area of belief change.
You're going to discover the belief-change double-bind, a trap that almost all NLPers fall into when doing changework. If you've ever had a client say “I can't do X, because I lack confidence”, then tried to give them confidence, you've probably fallen into this trap.
You'll learn where beliefs come from in the first place.
You'll see me do a demo with a guy who doesn't believe he can learn sleight of mouth, or that it can work for him. He says he can change his beliefs intellectually, but they don't feel like they've changed. (if you've ever had your doubts about this, or haven't been able to get Bandler's submodality belief-change to work, you'll want to pay close attention).
You'll hear the presuppositions of NLP in a whole different light. If “there's no failure only feedback” doesn't seem real to you yet, you're in for a treat. Best of all, you're going to learn the single most powerful presupposition when it comes to belief-change (you probably haven't heard this one before, unless it was from me or Chris Hall).
You'll discover a simple secret that lets you know when someone has run into the unconscious kinaesthetic that's been holding them back. You'll end up using this tool in nearly every session you do.
You're going to learn my strategies for dealing with people who don't know what they want.
You'll see me do a demonstration with a guy who doesn't realise he can go for what he really wants (did you know that it's easier to get what you really want than what you think you can get?). His “magic minute” is priceless – he gives me the clues I need before he even gets to the front of the room!
All of this has been in preparation for choosing a big goal that really matters to you, but that you may not have been accomplishing because of some limitation. We're going to use this as your big example for doing belief change!
Ideals: They're great for setting direction, but they're rubbish when it comes to measuring progress. You're going to learn why, & what you can do about it. (If you've been saying “I'll be happy when...”, you need to hear this).
You're going to learn the most shocking thing I know about human perception. This is where I say to my students “If it doesn't shock you - I mean completely blow your mind - you don't understand it yet!”
You'll see me do another demo, where I work with a person's spontaneous metaphors (metaphors he wasn't even aware of) to massively shift his experience, & help him start refocusing on what's important.
We're going to round out the first DVD by explaining the essential difference between fear & anxiety, a difference that can make a huge difference in your life, & the lives of your clients.

Here's what you're going to get on DVD 2

I'll tell you about the qualities of beliefs, the powerful forces they bring into connection (this makes working with them way easier).
You're also going to get my essentials for conversational belief change. These are the essentials I use no matter who I'm working with.
I used to have a huge limiting belief about quitting my job & going into business for myself. If you want to have the kind of freedom, independence & lifestyle that this allows, you're going to get a lot from this.
You'll see me demonstrate how to elicit the underlying linguistic structure of a belief (the woman I'm demonstrating with was believing “I can't let go”, but things really changed).
You'll get my top tips for using hypnotic language (including the number one secret for developing unconscious competence & fluency with the patterns).
You'll discover why action really is the magic word, & how you can get people to take action now!
You'll see an amazing demo where I do super-rapid changework on what seemed like a complex issue, just using a man's gestures & one magic question!
You'll get my favourite tool to help let go of unwanted thoughts & feelings.
Did you know that people will give you their most clear & honest answers non-verbally, before they even open their mouths? You're going to see this in action so you can use it for yourself & your clients.
You'll see me doing a “Complementary Opposites” demo with a man who had issues with nervousness. I run the whole process covertly before doing it with him directly. (This is a great way of ensuring your clients respond well to instructions – do things covertly before you get them to do it directly).
You'll also get my demo with a woman who said “I don't believe strongly enough in myself”. (In this demo, I also share the secret of how to “get on the same team” as the unconscious mind – this is a key for conversational belief-change).
I share powerful ways to externalise beliefs – this is how you create new perspectives & make space for new possibilities.
Did you realise that all beliefs are resources? When you discover how to really take this perspective, it makes changework a lot easier (after all, every belief
has a positive intention!). But you have to actually believe it for it to work... I'm going to show you how.
One of the great things about all the stuff you're learning is you can use it for eliciting the beliefs of top performers too! These are the tools I use for modelling many of the people who have helped me take my business & my NLP skills to new levels.
You'll learn how to eliminate neediness (essential for all coaches & therapists who want to get clients & work effectively).
You'll get my favourite tool for dealing with difficult people & people who annoy you (you'll also get my best advice on how to work with family members, close friends & other loved ones).
On this DVD, we'll start going in-depth into reframing & the shaping of meaning. You'll meet a man who suffered extreme injuries after being attacked, but was able to make peace with his attackers & the loss of his eye.
I'll tell you about the community police hypnotist who tried to install anxiety & paranoia in me (I'll also tell you how I reframed the whole situation after I was robbed last year).
Reframing is the heart of NLP, so we start going into it in-depth. How it works; how we make judgements in the first place; how to release judgements & start creating new possibilities where there were none.
We complete the second DVD with a content reframing exercise to help you continue building the foundation that Sleight of Mouth runs on (these DVDs are full of exercises, & I recommend that you pause the DVD & do the exercises to get maximum learning).

Here's what you're going to get on DVD 3

A review & integration trance to hypnotically wire in the learnings from the programme, so far.
You'll hear my semantically loaded backtrack & future pace questions. The first time you hear them, you probably won't even be aware of all the presuppositions that are stacked into them, but I'll unpack them for you later (the unconscious mind actually runs on presuppositions, so they're one of the most powerful tools there is).
I'll demonstrate Deep Criteria Elicitation, a powerful way to connect with a person's deepest, most closely held values (this is super-valuable, whether you're doing changework, sales or any other kind of influence).
You'll also get one of the most powerful frames there is for understanding how people have been creating their reality, & how to change it so you create the reality you desire.
You're going to learn how to recognise people's hot buttons, & use them to help make changes (this includes people's most powerful “buy this now” buttons, too).
You'll get one of my favourite metaphors for Sleight of Mouth (I use tons of metaphors in this programme to install the learnings unconsciously. In fact, one of the ways I learned to do NLP was by listening to the metaphors great trainers used & asking myself “For what purpose are they using that metaphor?”)
You're also going to learn how to elicit the sensory structure of beliefs (these are the train tracks that beliefs run on).
I often ask people “What motivated you to take action to keep developing your NLP skills?” I'm going to tell you what motivated me – this was the event that made me so passionate about language, the point I told myself “You're going to do whatever it takes to master this stuff!”.
You're going to learn about how beliefs work, as well as the importance of certainty, uncertainty & probability (this is crucial to really understanding the meaning of the NLP presupposition, “the map is not the territory”.
You're also going to get lots of examples of the particpants' “I can't...” statements – these are the beliefs they've been perceiving as limiting, & that we're about to change, together.
Then we start piling into the sleight of mouth patterns themselves...

1) Sleight of mouth pattern 1 – Did you know that you can change a belief just by changing a single word or phrase in it? You'll discover how with this deceptively simple pattern.

2) Sleight of mouth pattern 2 - Changing the a person's time-frame around a belief can be profound (in fact I'll be showing you how to use time-shifting in all the work you do).

3) Sleight of mouth pattern 3 – Patterns for doing "belief-change Aikido". These are my favourite sleight-of-mouth patterns, because they instantly get the belief working to change itself!

4) Sleight of mouth pattern 4 – A tool for helping the person themselves to find the proof that a limiting belief isn't true - you'll also discover why exaggeration is a million times more important than you may have realised :-)
I'll wrap up DVD 3 by showing you how to detect someone's natural, automatic sleight of mouth patterns (these are the patterns you use to convince yourself!)

Here's what you're going to get on DVD 4

DVD 4 starts with a demonstration of me working with Diana, who has a limiting belief about creating a successful business, because she's a single mum. The first few minutes show Diana using spontaneous Sleight of Mouth to keep her belief in place. I use my questions & comments to subtly presuppose change (right from the first question). As you continue watching, you'll see me

Eliciting the belief's structure
Using Columbo-style “just one more thing” interrupts
Using playful, provocative approaches to deepen rapport
Uncovering the belief's positive intention
Eliciting motivation, purpose, values & criteria
Folding the structure of the belief in on itself
Integrating parts
Mirroring gestures & using keywords
Using time language & future pacing

All of this, in the course of a conversation! As usual, watch it once for pure enjoyment, then again & again to track the different layers.

Next, I'll take you through some of my favourite NLP coaching questions (I'll also show you the fastest way I know to integrate these questions into your everyday behaviour – you're going to make them automatic).

Sleight of mouth pattern 5, 6 & 7 – Three related patterns for changing the frame size of a belief. This is one of the most powerful patterns there is for belief-change. You may even have heard it used by amazing speakers like Gandhi or JFK. You'll learn how to apply it using perspectives, numbers & time. Dynamite!
Next, I'm going to show you a simple exercise for developing your ability to develop powerful new perspectives, quickly & easily. These are the kinds of reframes that help you get a reputation for being a wildly creative & original thinker.
Your ability to negotiate is a core life skill, whether you're doing a business deal, persuading your child to accept your values & resist peer pressure, or finding common ground with your partner so you can both enjoy your connections more deeply. You'll be developing essential skills for enjoying win:win:win outcomes.
You'll also learn about how to avoid over-generalisation, the kind of trap that leads to model-fundamentalism, & contributes to terrorism, racism, & the kind of intolerance experienced by so many people.

Here's what you're going to get on DVD 5

Like I promised, you'll see me unpacking the backtrack & future-pace questions from earlier in the programme, uncovering the powerful presuppositions in the language. These are like depth-charges for accelerating your learning & deepening your understanding. Best of all, you're going to start catching yourself using the power-patterns in your daily life!
If I could show you how to become a Sleight-of-mouth Ninja in just 30 days, spending less than an hour a day, would you go for it? That's just 30 days to develop a set of skills that will enrich your life every day for as long as you live. And not just your life – you'll be enriching the lives of everyone you come into contact with, from now on. On this DVD I'm going to show you how!
You're going to discover the hidden presuppositions in every limiting belief. When you get this framework, belief-change becomes SO much easier. (I only know one other trainer who teaches this – in fact, it was her that taught it to me!)
I do a segment on anchors & anchoring elegantly, showing you how to use them powerfully, effectively & often invisibly.
Sleight of mouth pattern 8 – A way to direct a person's attention to something they hadn't even thought of, & change the belief in the process (this is akin to 'redirection' used by magicians).
Sleight of mouth pattern 9 - One of my favourite patterns for skilfully discombobulating a limiting belief, & getting them to imagine a new, empowering reality!
Sleight of mouth pattern 10 - A pattern for bringing the consequence of a belief into awareness (use this carefully, because you can get some really powerful shifts using this pattern).
Sleight of mouth pattern 11 - Everyone has values, the things that are important to you. This pattern allows you to re-evaluate the belief using what's most important to a person, with dramatic effects.
Sleight of mouth pattern 12 - A pattern you can use to generate powerful metaphors & analogies to instantly & deeply reframe a limiting belief (I'll also share some of my favourite uses of metaphor with you.)
Sleight of mouth pattern 13 - A variation that you can use to completely change the focus of a belief (this has to be handled with care – rapport is absolutely essential for this one, or it could blow up in your face).
Sleight of mouth pattern 14 – Use this to get a person to go outside their limited model of themselves & their world, & start instantly seeing new empowering possibilites (you'll see me demonstrate this with a client who says “I can't make a good living as a coach because I'm not qualified enough” - then you'll see me blow it out the window.)
Sleight of mouth pattern 15 - A couple of patterns for chunking down into the belief & beyond (you'll see me demo this with a woman whose belief was “I can't lose weight” - within a few moments, you'll see her having a powerful shift).
Sleight of mouth pattern 16 - A pattern for finding out how they've been gluing the belief together, & simultaneously inviting them show you the sensory aspects of the belief (we all do this – this is how you know the difference between fantasy & reality, & it's one of my favourite patterns).
Now I know that may seem like a lot of patterns, but you're going to get tons of demonstrations, examples & an exercise for each pattern to ensure you wire them in. Better yet, you'll have the underlying structures that the patterns run on, so you'll continue developing your intuitions about what to use when & with whom, long into the future.

Here's what you're going to get on DVD 6

- You may already be aware of “The Jill Video” which we released as a DVD in 2008. You'll watch & listen as I “double-unpack” the first 20 minutes of the unpacked track, adding new insights & commentary.
Next, I guide you through “The Master's Journey”, giving you the insights you can use to master Sleight of Mouth with these DVDs (you'll also learn about the unhelpful & unsatisfying alternatives to mastery, & how you can avoid them).
I'll also give you a little known but highly potent secret for increasing your skill (hint: it's not “do it more” - it's a surprisingly enjoyable way of making the learning process a genuine pleasure).
You'll also get the secret to build deep unconscious competence & seamless integration.
You'll get a powerful anchoring demonstration, as well as tips for self-anchoring.
On this DVD, you'll see me fully unpack “the bouncer story”, & all the patterns this simple 26 word phrase contains (you'll also hear one of the delegates relate how he used this pattern to enjoy an enormous discount & save hundreds of pounds in a recent negotiation).
The next chapter includes loads of advanced language patterns (some of these patterns are being demonstrated here for the first time. In fact a few of these are so valuable, you may find that these are worth the price of the programme on their own).
A killer pattern for dealing with criticism, & another one you can use to obliterate objections & concerns in a respectful & empowering way.
Finally, you'll watch me demonstrate “super future-pacing” with two people, before guiding you through a review trance & drawing the session to a close.
