First NLP forums. Ugh. That sums it up best. It’s not that I have a problem withe everyone that posts. I like a few of the people that post a lot and are quite active. My problem comes when people use forums as an attempt to show how smart they are and try to become gurus online. I want to say stop. Use NLP to feel good enough about yourself that you don’t need others to worship you. Stop. You are just doing the same as the next guy.
Second NLP Trainings. Obviously, training with the ridiculously wonderful Owen Fitzpatrick & Brian Colbert is a very smart move. Also training with Richard Bandler, John LaValle, Kate Benson and many of the Society trainers is a good idea. Of course, there are some terrible trainers from every camp. But, as a generalisation, I’d say stick as close to the source as you can. What can I say? Biased.
Third, product wise… I believe 90% of NLP stuff out there is rubbish. Same old stuff, same old format. I have recommendations that you’ll catch on the video blog.
Forth, blog wise. Plenty of people arguing out there. I’m not interested. I prefer arguing with myself. That way I can ensure I never get too personal.
Fifth, the different factions of NLP are different factions. Pick your team and support them is what I say… and if you wanna watch other teams play then grand. Just stand by your principles and let others be biased if they want to. As long as they actually want to use NLP to help themselves and others all is okay. And… yes, they are like ‘teams’. As long as people treat them like that, I’ll continue to refer to them in that way.
