Richard Bandler - The Hypnotist - Making a Change

Anyone who's studied NLP for any length of time and really gone out and applied the many tools, attitudes and techniques can easily forget how amazing the many great tools and resources we have in NLP are. Just STOP and think about this … can you remember a time when you didn't know about accessing ques, modal operators, or sub-modalities? For some new NLPers this is easy but for many of us we have collapsed our NLP memories and really have to spend time to go back and think about what it was like when you first came across the field of NLP and the concept of sub-modalities and then actually began to experience for yourself how powerful sub-modality change techniques are.

And all this started from the work of Dr. Bandler and John Grinder. So whenever I get to see Richard at work it is a true pleasure. So when I recently came across a two part TV change work show (at least appears to be) it caught my attention. Have you seen it? If you haven't take a mental break and let your senses absorb the many sights and sounds as you see Dr. Bandler in action in what (hopefully) is a new US reality show. In the show Richard works with a woman who has a crippling claustrophobia.

As you watch ask yourself what does Richard do that you could learn from and use. Then go out and practice it at the next chance. When I interviewed ten of the top master trainers when working on our product Modeling The Masters, the one common theme was how almost all regardless of their learning style immediately applied whatever new concept of way of doing something they learned. This helped established a muscle memory and expand their skill and repertoire over those who simply just mentally "heard about it". Practice is key for success. Go watch Richard demonstrate his magic in action now.
