This week's episode of the UK's most listened to NLP podcast introduces three NLP 'presuppositions' or principles about successful communication (yes, I know it says 'six presuppositions' at the start of the podcast but we'll cover the other 3 next week): Respect for the other person's 'map of the world' The 'meaning' of communication is the response you get You cannot not communicate As usual, we cover a lot of ground - so this week's episode features how not to motivate your employees, Gerald Ratner's fall from grace, my 'tabloid press' voice, and the facts behind the widely-quoted myth that 93% of communication is non-verbal.

A short and sweet episode of the UK's most listened to NLP podcast this week, all about the NLP presupposition that 'Mind and Body are One System'. Featuring the 'mind-body problem', neuropeptides, a quick exercise to experience the mind-body link, and the most important thing that you need to know about motivation! Now, I've read that most podcast listeners don't know about the benefits of subscribing to a cast as opposed to streaming it or downloading it. When you subscribe to this podcast, new episodes show up in your iTunes or your podcast app automatically, without you having to go looking for them - much easier! So do yourself a favour and subscribe. Subscribe via iTunes here. If you prefer to subscribe using something other than iTunes, the feed is http://coachingleaders.co.uk/feed/podcast/ By the way, if you have an Android phone (or tablet), I recommend the BeyondPod app. It works for video as well as audio, and it's also an RSS feed reader. Best of all, the free 'Lite' version will be fine for most needs! And there are plenty of other apps available. If you like the podcast, please leave a comment on iTunes. If you want to get deeply into how being embodied shapes our language and thought, I recommend Philosophy in the Flesh: The Embodied Mind and Its Challenge to Western Thought by Lakoff and Johnson. It's an easier read than the title suggests - I couldn't get my head round the chapter about Wittgenstein, but that's just me and Wittgenstein.

This week's Practical NLP podcast is the second of a series where we explain the principles or 'presuppositions' of NLP - including some tips from the forthcoming audiobook 'Practical NLP: how to use NLP principles to improve your life and work (even if you're not NLP trained)' which you can pre-order for half-price here. This week, we consider the often misunderstood presupposition that 'People have all the resources they need to succeed', 'I am in charge of my mind and therefore my results', and 'The only reliable information about a person is their behaviour'.

Today the Practical NLP podcast shot through the 10,000 unique downloads barrier! I'm not 100% sure whether this means 10,000 episodes have been listened to, or 10,000 different people have downloaded at least one episode, but I'm knocked out with it either way. This week's podcast is about goal-setting 101 and features, among other things, why "I want to be happy" is not a goal, why your unconscious mind is like a ship (and how to stop the crew from mutinying), and the meaning of life! As we're talking about goal-setting, I thought I'd include a picture and link to my book Achieve Your Goals.

In this week's podcast, a (very) short history of the origins of NLP, and what Richard Bandler and John Grinder were up to when they developed it, from someone who wasn't there at the time (but has heard a lot about it). Featuring Fritz Perls, Virginia Satir, 'genius', a cabin in the redwoods, and a lot of red wine. Plus, what is 'neuro linguistic programming' really about? It may not be quite what you think.

It features, among other things, state-dependent memory, ‘uptime’ and ‘downtime’, the four stages of learning, ‘deliberate practice’, the mindset that will really help you succeed (it’s not quite what the ‘success gurus’ usually tell you), and the ‘Discovery Frame’ – probably the most important thing you need to keep in mind when learning any new skill!
