People Building

Today I will produce the last ever episode of the People Building podcast. In the 5 years I have made the show, there has been over 1 million recorded downloads which is pretty immense! It’s been great fun to do and I hope that my contribution to the NLP and Hypnotherapy community is valued in some small way. I will also be creating newsletters and articles less regularly or less formally and instead, I’m going to focus on slowing down time and enjoying ever ounce of the next two thirds of my living experience. Thank you to everyone who has ever contributed to the articles, videos or podcasts with your comments, suggestions, opinions or feedback or who simply listened and enjoyed the show at some point in the last 5 years.

I love the whole idea of the phrase ‘If you don’t ask then you don’t get’ as it is literally that simple! In my past experiences there are times when things just seemed to click into place with very little or almost no effort on my behalf what so ever - But how can you "make" this happen?

Rapport comes and goes. There’s a misunderstanding that once you have developed it, that’s it. No further rapport building is required and one can simply forget about it. Wrong! http://youtu.be/7Zs8lkdA37s

Sometimes overcoming challenges is easy – and sometimes less so. A great strategy for taking control of challenges is to do the absolute opposite of trying to get rid of it and instead study the skills you need and use in order to create it. Forget about getting rid of problems. Instead rudely interrupt them. Which is exactly what happens in today's show. We were rudely interrupted by hungry duck!

Think positive and always look on the bright side. Focus on what you want. Whatever you think about the universe will send your way. Your thoughts become things. Rubbish. Find out why in this show!

In this podcast we explore ways in which we can relax and allow our minds to be suggestible without using deep hypnosis. Plus there is a question from Gemma about Common Purpose....

You know I never wanted to become that person that says “There comes a point in life when…” because I heard so many adults say that when I was younger. It was a sure sign that they were old and I was young. In this podcast we explore the ways in which we can deal with unwanted comments and feedback without getting offended by the,

These days we are bombarded with rewards. There was a time when rewards were for children and stickers on a star chart but now rewards have crept into the adult world. Does having a reward always lead you to behaving in the best possible way or are you better off going without? Find out in this podcast.

Sometimes us human beings are so shaped and influenced by our will and desire to succeed and make good of every situation that life throws at us, we forget that there is a real reward and skill in letting go and moving on.
