Bonus 3 - The thirty minute bonus CD, "Hypnotic Language Essentials", worth £29.97.

Bonus 4 - The "Better Coaching Skills with NLP" Ebook Companion (worth £9.95) gives you definitions, examples, specific details on the various language patterns.

"The Language of Influence"
The ability to influence others is one of the things that separate the truly successful in life from the 'also rans'. This is true in every area of life where we interact with other people: relationships, sales, business, job interviews, attracting the people you desire, etc... The interesting thing is that people are always influencing others in one way or another anyway so it makes sense to learn to influence people to get what you want. Experience shows that the key to successful influence and persuasion is in the words you use and how you say them.

Most people take a hit and miss approach when it comes to influence and persuasion and consequently get mixed results. When you listen to the Language of Influence audio you will learn to be one of the few people who know how to win people around to your way of thinking on a repeatable and predictable basis.

"The Hypnotic Language Masterclass"
At one of my first NLP Practitioner trainings I had the privilege to see NLP co-founder Richard Bandler demonstrate the immense power of hypnotic language in what was seemingly ordinary conversation. From that moment I was hooked and I said to myself: "Whatever you do you have to become skilled with language". That decision changed my life.

You may not know it but the fact that you already have an unconscious ability to generate meaningful language means you can learn hypnotic language patterns and skills to become an even better communicator in every area of your life. The "Hypnotic Language Masterclass" will give you the language tools, patterns and strategies you need to become a powerful influencer, conversationalist, public speaker and 'change-worker'. Imagine how much better your relationships and communication will be once you learn how to build trust and rapport with a person and have the ability to guide them in the direction you want them to go.

"Better Coaching Skills with NLP"
When Richard Bandler and John Grinder were developing the field of NLP they discovered that there are attitudes and patterns that successful therapists use to create magical changes in a person's thoughts, emotions and behaviours. What they found was that by adopting certain approaches to coaching and change-work a person could produce help others to experience powerful insights and solutions to problems in the course of an 'ordinary' conversation. I am fortunate enough to be one of the people who learned how to use (and profit) from these discoveries from Richard Bandler himself and other great innovators in the field of NLP. When you listen to "Better Coaching Skills with NLP" I'll demonstrate the ideas and techniques I have used to develop a reputation for getting results and earned a lot of money in the process. Imagine how good you'll feel when you learn how to make a good living from bringing out the best in people. You'll hear me demonstrate dozens of the NLP Coaching Card & Hypnosis card patterns - if you've read the cards but haven't quite figured out how to use them elegantly in challenging situations, now's your chance.

Of course, this audio is also chock full of nested loops, covert & overt metaphors, embedded commands & boatloads of hypnotic language; I use NLP to start installing the attitudes & skills of NLP while you listen (you still need to practice though!)

There are overt & covert demonstrations & a huge variety of NLP patterns & techniques which mean you can listen to it over & over again, discovering new layers, skills & approaches every time (this is one of the ways I developed my skills, by the way: listening to audios by the best, repeatedly asking myself "What's his intention when he says that?")

Who is this for?

I'll start (as usual) by saying who it isn't for - it isn't for people who just want the theory but don't want to get their hands dirty. Only purchase this product if you want to develop real skills & understandings.

And of course, anyone who owns a deck of Salad cards, or is interested in language. These audios contain real-life examples of the patterns from the NLP Coaching Cards, Ericksonian Hypnosis Cards & Irresistible Influence Cards in action. They are excellent resources for supporting your language learning.

This Week's Tip...
The Magic Minute -
The Hidden Link Between NLP, Beer & Motivation

Last week we had a closer look at the power of taking people literally. This week we’re going explore motivation, & a particularly fascinating area of NLP called ‘metaprograms’. In this article we’ll be clearing up some confusion about goal-setting, and you’ll discover some powerful ideas relating to how people are motivated.

Someone recently asked me the question "How does the NLP idea of stating goals in the positive work with people who have an 'away from' motivation?"

Put simply, people who have "away from" motivation are motivated to avoid what they don't want (Eg. an accountant focusing on avoiding mistakes, or an insurance assessor focusing on avoiding paying out cash).

In contrast, people who have "towards" motivation are motivated to move towards what they want, or the benefits of getting it (Eg. an entrepreneur who is focusing on creating a certain lifestyle, or a teacher who is focusing on their students being able to demonstrate certain skills.)

“Towards” & “Away from” are examples of metaprograms in NLP (metaprograms are the big, unconscious filters that help us decide what to pay attention to & what to ignore).

The question above was raised in response to the NLP idea that a "well-formed" goal should be stated in the positive, ie. saying what you want rather than what you don't want.

Here's an analogy.

Two chaps walk into a pub, both wanting a pint.

Biff wants a pint because he’s had a rough day at work, & wants to stop feeling stressed (an “away from” motivation).

Skip wants a drink because he’s celebrating closing a big deal, & wants to lift his mood even higher (a “towards” motivation).

But when the barman asks what they want, they both say “A pint of lager”. They recognise intuitively that saying something like “To not have a dry mouth” will not get them what they want. They realise that in order to get what they want, they need to state their goal in the positive, telling the barman what they want rather than what they don't want.

The two men have different “motivation directions”, and that’s absolutely fine, but they still state their goal in the positive in order to get an effective result.

Let me be clear: Biff has not changed his motivation direction; it’s still “away from”. It’s his GOAL that’s stated in the positive.

(By the way, neither Biff nor Skip has received any NLP training. They are not aware of metaprograms, & haven't in fact given any of this any conscious thought. Their neurologies have automatically sorted all of this out without them even thinking about it consciously).

The distinction is between the goal, & where the person gets the motivation to achieve it.

Metaprograms are incredibly powerful for influencing people & helping to create changes.

This year on our NLP Master Practitioner course, Dr Chris Hall is teaching an entire module on metaprograms & how you can use them powerfully. We really focus on this stuff in depth during NLP Master Practitioner training, which starts in April 2008. Why? Because this is where you find the real magic of NLP. At salad, we want you to learn to do “the real thing” & get amazing results, not just a bunch of techniques.

Our line-up for Master Prac this year is amazing, & includes me, Peter Freeth, Neo-Ericksonian hypnotist Michael Watson & NLP Meta-Master Trainer Chris Hall. Book right away to take advantage of your super-early-bird discount.

As my co-trainer Peter Freeth says "On Practitioner we give you a set of keys & show you how to use them. On Master Practitioner, you’re going to learn how to pick locks."

A version of this article was originally posted on the NLP Community forum at www.mynlpresources.com then as a blog at http://www.nlpsalad.blogspot.com/. The blog (and the forum) also include tons of other cool NLP info. Enjoy!

Have a great week!
