I totally get it James. I am my USP. There is nobody else out there like me. I am the only one with my knowledge. Thanks so much. Maggie

James,
I couldn’t agree more; there are a lot of “emperors” new clothes kicking around the personal development industries and people peddling them blindly to new initiates! Once you’re in the system it’s not always easy to see them for what they are because you’ve invested in them and you tend to believe that if it’s not working maybe because you need more information from your guru! (Cialdini’s consistency strongly at play!) Remember faith makes you blind!
We live in a systemic world _ great to hear someone else saying the king has no clothes :o)
Cheers

Hi James
I couldn’t agree more!
To (slightly paradoxically) quote Timothy Leary (my favourite authority on anti-authoritarian matters)
“Think for yourself. Question authority. Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we’re going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities: the political, the religious, the educational authorities, who have attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations. Informing, forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable open-mindedness– chaotic, confused vulnerability to inform yourself. Think for yourself. Question authority.”
It is ironic / unsurprising / predictable / funny that the world of NLP, a field which has such amazing gifts to offer in terms of open-mindedness & possibility, has fallen into this same pattern.
Never mind. All is well. Be who you are - do what you love.
Best wishes
Jamie

James,
Fun to see what we know to be true, written down, glad I took the RED pill. And after all is said and done, there is a lot more said than done. We are thankfully all doing… our bit, to make a difference, change lives, improve the world even if only one person at a time. Perhaps make our mark on this planet and possibly even be recognised for doing something useful.
I have been very much inspired by your information these last few weeks, and am in discussion with an organization to do something on a (from my perspective) grand scale (No money in it) to help many up and down the country.
Thanks for your continued input into my life…and indirectly to others.
Abundantly,
Lee

Hi James
This has been a subject that has played on my mind since I joined the personal development world. There are so many “experts” out there who are desparately trying to put a twist on what we do in an attempt to re-brand it as their unique offer. Sadly even though I have seen through many of these so called experts I still find it easy to get sucked in in my attempt to gain that unique skill or piece of knowledge.
Thanks James
Kind Regards & Best Wishes

Nice one James,
I’ve always struggled with some of the NLP community sites and training courses for for exactly this reason.
While I am happy to listen, learn and absorb anything that is useful from anyone, any place, any time, I believe that we owe it to ourselves and any future clients to question everything, ruthlessly.
We must be prepared to quiz, question and debate some of the basic fundamental principals, add in new discoveries and learnings from other fields and most importantly, kill a few sacred cows along the way if they simply don’t work.
For me , Its not about which piece of paper, licence or stamp I have on my forehead, it’s about what can I do that I wasn’t able to do before.
I’ve sat on training courses and listened to some senior “guru” trainers claim things like
“I don’t need glasses, I just used NLP to recalibrate my vision so I can see perfectly again”
“You don’t need to take notes, it will all be absorbed by the unconscious mind”
“When I was working with celebrity/psychotic/sports person…I said to him/her….”just go inside..blah blah”..and within 5 minutes they were a new person, cured of everything from their fear of flying to their halitosis”
Bollox !!!
Come on guys, stop the BS. Sort the hypnotic metaphors from the lies. Loose the ego centric stories about how poor you were, how clever you are, how quickly you can change people.
Stop the stories about how you once worked with the CIA, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, the 1966 England World Cup Squad and even God herself.
Instead, prove it, show me, teach me how to do it, and if I can’t do it at the end of the course, book, seminar, tape, CD or DVD, then give me my money back please.
I don’t pay money to sit in awe thinking, “wow he/she is so cool. I wish I was as smart as that. I guess I need to give them lots more money to find out their secrets and only then will I be any good at this.”
I don’t pay money to have their “altar boy / training assistants” telling me that “I’m doing it wrong” when my eye accessing cues don’t follow their particular model or I don’t play along with their particular trance inductions.
I pay money because I want to learn to do stuff that I can’t already do, not just hear unjustifiable claims that someone else can do it.
If a trainer, coach or guru can’t do that, they shouldn’t be on the stage preaching / selling at me.
So that’s my rant for the day.
I had to laugh when I read that “James Lavers had been branded the Gordon Ramsay of NLP/Coaching marketing”….I guess I am the Simon Cowell of NLPers
