He just ran. So excited about what he didn’t know beyond the stoney path before the woodland. He just ran. Wondering which tree was his tree. Wondering what new adventure was about to happen. How much could he slip inside the real world and find its secrets. When would they finally reveal [...]

Over the past few months the topic of online security and personal privacy has been somewhat at the forefront of a lot of peoples thinking. Especially with the recent concerns and discussions over Facebooks privacy policy and how they plan to protect our personal data from the beady eyes of the stalking community at large. I [...]

Yesterday was a proud day for all those who seek out and aim to right the injustices of this world. I’d like to say that I’m normally one of those people, seeking out and fighting against oppression, starvation, inhumanity, brutality and unfairness in our world. The truth is I’m just a pretty average guy with a [...]

Let me preface this post by saying that this isn’t actually about being a perfect person, in fact it’s quite the opposite. It’s been quite some time since I blogged here and the main reason for that is that I haven’t felt that I’ve had anything new or interesting to talk about. I’ve always had some value [...]

One thing I hear time and time again is “If only I knew how to do it”. “If only I knew how to find clients…If only I knew how to market myself…If only I knew how to pick up women…If only I knew…If only.” In NLP they often talk about “Strategies” and figuring out how one person [...]

I’ve recently designed an introduction to a fun and exciting journey called HypnoDrunk, available as as downloadable MP3 (20 minutes long). Now for those of you who know me, it comes as no surprise that my first product would be something a bit outrageous and from the feedback I’ve had so far, you guys have been [...]

Today was my 400th Twitter Tweet and in celebration, I’ve published a short piece from a book I’m writing on NLP and how to become a great NLPer. The article is about attitude and is followed up in the book by a chapter on how to go about building attitude and using it to become [...]

This month I’m pleased to announce that I have a new article published in The Healing Pool Magazine: Special NLP Edition. It feels like quite an honour to have an article published in the same magazine as such great people as Eric Robbie, Kathleen LaValle, Phil Farber and Robert Dilts. This edition of The Healing Pool Magazine [...]

Today I wanted to tell you about a question that I ask many of my clients who themselves are coaches or aiming to become coaches. This seems to be one of those questions that gets that “aha!” light bulb moment from everyone I’ve asked it too and I hope you have a similar experience too. Share [...]

I was sat in my living room the other day just thinking about all the great things that have happened in my life over the past three or four years and I started to wonder about all the changes that have happened. I got to thinking about how the coaches I have, the friends I have [...]

Today I’d like to announce the release of a new project we’ve been working on over these past few months. The Coach  Crowd (http://www.thecoachcrowd.com). This project aims to bring coaches together from all over the world by giving them a place to organise and RSVP to “meetups”. A meetup can be held anywhere. From the pub [...]

One of the greatest things about being a coach is the vast array of amazing people I get to meet. Whether it’s my clients, my colleagues or people I meet at different events, I’m always in awe of the fantastic work people are doing. One of the things I hear from coaches quite often is their [...]

As many of you know, music is something I’m passionate about. Having been a drummer since the age of 9 and loving all different types and styles of music, I’ve grown to love anything that makes my skin tingle and my soul dance. Today I’d like to introduce you to Manu Delago playing a Hang Drum [...]

I’ve just returned back from an evening in London with Michael Neill and as always it was an excellent night. Michael brings with him years of experience working with many people from many walks of life, but more than that, be brings a real sparkle and true passion to the work he does. What Michael does [...]

To me, Music is one of the most important things in my life. I love everything from HipHop to Rock, Classical to Funk. It’s what lights up my soul and makes every fibre of my body tingle. When I hear great music or even music I simply appreciate, I just want to share it. Today I’d [...]

Unconscious Installation? Sounds complicated. Isn’t that the thing where you sit in a training room and don’t have to do anything except zone out and wait to become smart auto-magically? Yes..That’s right…ahem. It’s March 2009 and Gabe Guerrero is kicking off the first day of his Unconscious Installation workshop at the prestigious Regents College, London. On our [...]

One thing that’s always been really important to me is to have other people in the same industry think I’m doing a good job. When I was a computer programmer, it always felt great to have other programmers compliment my work and when I did Sleight of Hand Magic for a while, having other magicians [...]

The Concept – How it came about The idea for Behavioural Crosswiring came whilst I was doing some research into the T.O.T.E model (Test, Operate, Test, Exit [George A. Miller, Eugene Galanter, and Karl H. Pribram - Plans and the Structure of Behavior 1960 - ISBN 978-0937431009]) and more specifically the idea of nested TOTEs. Whilst I [...]

Sitting in a cafe by the sea in the south of England watching the waves crash up against the wooden breaks, I was talking to a friend about some recent changes in their life. As my friend described how they’d taken a redundancy package at work, I started to notice that they seemed quite down-and-out [...]

In 1985 Richard Bandler published the book “Using your brain for a change”. A series of transcripts that changed the way many people thought about the way the mind works, how it encodes information and how people can make profound changes in their lives with ease. It’s now 2009 and Richard Bandler is making his way [...]

I recently replied to a video by Dr Harlen Kilstein over at nlpcopywriting.com in which he stated that if anyone had any ideas about how submodalities might be related to copywriting he’d be interested in learning more. I wrote a reply to Dr Kilstein and I realised that it could be useful for more people to [...]

It’s the New Year and just as I have, I’m sure many of you have decided on new changes you want for this New Year. Whether that’s to stop smoking, to lose weight, to finally motivate yourself to do that one thing you’ve been putting off, whether it’s to find your life partner or make a [...]

Walking down a wintery London street in late November 2008 I was having a conversation with Gabe Guerrero about tracking patterns and I mentioned that I felt I was alright at tracking but not so good at remembering. Now it makes sense to me that both of these words could mean the same thing and [...]

There comes a time in most people’s lives where they feel the need to break free from the family nest and go off to do their own thing. In my case, I moved 200 miles away from my family to be in London, the place I know I’m meant to be right now. As much [...]

This is the second article in a series about patterns and you can find part one here: Patterns 1 - Warmth on the soul When Richard Bandler and John Grinder first started out modelling great therapists, a lot of their focus was on figuring out how these therapists did what they did so well. When they [...]
