ANLP Blog

FRIDAY 20th JANUARY - It does now appear that our internet connections and phones are all up and running again!

The problems were being caused by a site issue and unfortunately were completely outside of our control.

Our answering service will always pick up messages, so we will, eventually, be able to phone you back, once we can collect messages.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused by these ongoing challenges.

The NLP Conference, brilliantly run by Anglo American Books, is being held at the Britannia Hotel, Canary Wharf on 9th to 11th November 2012.

This is a change of date, and is different to the original dates published in the Winter issue of Rapport magazine.

Since joining ANLP in July, I’ve received an increasing number of enquiries about Accreditation each month.  Most enquiries come in via email and so the application and guidance notes are sent out in the same way.  Next comes one of the most enjoyable parts of my job  . . . a couple of weeks after sending out the Accreditation information, I telephone the enquirer to see how they’re getting on.

There are two things about this that I love.  First is being able to talk them through the process, as often, they’re relieved to find that it doesn’t require the generation of half as much paperwork as they think it does!   If the Trainer is already delivering the courses, then chances are that all of the evidence we need to support their application is sitting – ready to go - on their computer.

The second thing I love, is hearing all about the creative ways Trainers are planning to deliver their training.  Will it be Intensive or Modular?  Pure NLP or blended with complimentary topics? Business, Therapeutic, Educational . . . the list is endless.  The joy of creative problem solving to ensure maximum flexibility is maintained whilst meeting quality requirements.  Ah, there’s never a dull day at this desk!

The NLP Professional (£12.99, Ecademy Press), by our very own Karen Moxom, is published today.

The NLP Professional is about considering the field of NLP as a professional one. It is about making the connections between your actions as a practitioner of NLP, and considering how these can impact on your business.

This book questions some of the current practices in the field, and challenges whther these are ultimately useful if the desired outcome is to raise the profile of NLP and create a profession which has credibility, respect and recognition.

What others say...

"Karen Moxom has one of the most balanced and objective views of the current NLP Community" Joe Cheal, NLP Master Trainer

"The NLP Professional is a vitally important contribution to the future of the field of NLP" David Shephard, NLP Master Trainer and President of the American Board of NLP

"There are hundreds of books on NLP, but this is the first written to support NLP Professionals" Judy Apps, NLP Trainer and Author of 'Voice of Influence'

As the professional Association for NLP we were delighted on Wednesday when we were the first port of call for BBC TV looking for an NLP spokesperson.

They wanted our views on a new innovative app being launched. The new app released today “measures the sound you make with your voice and tells you what emotions you are projecting” very interesting areas for those of us passionate about NLP.

Watch it now

The call came in around 6.30pm Tuesday and Dee Clayton our Marketing Director was invited to the studios opposite the House of Commons Wednesday morning. Of course Dee’s interview was edited down but we were pleased to have the opportunity to raise the awareness and credibility of both NLP and the ANLP.

As a professional organisation the ANLP has a passion for the public and our members to continually develop their communication skills so we always welcome new tools and processes that make this journey even easier when they are used responsibly and with the best of intentions.

Take a look at the piece which aired on BBC South East news 6.30pm 12th October 2011

We haven’t downloaded the app yet – called EngageM8 so please let us know your views.

More information on the app can be found on the EngageM8 Facebook page
