Engage Your Mind, Hypnotise It!
Hey there! Can I offer you a Krispe Kreme donut?
It’s been a while since I last updated this blog. Since then, besides the Men’s Health Refine & Define Challenge 2009 modules, one thing that I look forward to is the Certified NLP Practitioner Course I am attending from June 24 to 28, 2009.
Some time after reading Adam Khoo’s Master Your Mind, Design Your Destiny, the idea of NLP somehow got lodged in between the hemispheres of my brain. I was curious of this little course which changed this obscured boy’s life by leaps and bounds. Sure, his success isn’t attributed just to NLP, but it was a starting point.
One day I was browsing the papers, New Straits Times to be exact, I cam across this advert. A U.S. NLP Master Trainer is coming over to Malaysia later this month to teach the basics of NLP. What caught my attention was the certification. Just imagine: I’m going through the same road the Millionaire-at-24 trod before. Plus upon completion, I would enjoy a two-year membership with the Florida-based National Federation of NeuroLinguistic Programming (NFNLP).
Wait! Back up! What on earth is NLP?!
To answer that, I bought myself a little book – you know how I am with books!
After reading this book, which I bought at Times Pavilion for RM68.00, I come to conclude that NLP – or Neuro Linguistic Programming – is about speaking to your brain in a language it can understand so it could achieve a desired outcome. Embrace it or distance from it, NLP certification can be regarded as one of those craze a number of us are after. Used properly, it can improve lives. Check out that Adam Khoo guy again. 
Let me give you some examples of the brochure:
-
Remove the emotional charge from unpleasant memories;
-
Be able to build rapport with anyone.
-
Control almost any situation.
-
Improving and using states of mind.
-
Defuse tense situations.
Besides paying for the 5-day intensive Certified NLP Practitioner programme, inclusive of lunch and tea breaks, you will receive a VCD, two books, the invoice, timeline of the programmes, programme materials and the two-year NFNLP membership.
This course will be conducted by William D. Horton, Psy. D., CADC, – a licensed psychologist, an alcohol and drug counsellor, a Master Trainer of Neuro Linguistic Programming, a Certified Hypnotherapist and trained through the Red Cross programme for Critical Incident Stress Debriefing. The good counsellor have also been trained by US’s FBI at the FBI Academy, Quantico, VA, and recently taught at an FBI Lead Crisis Negotiation Course. This veteran of the Army and Naval Reserve is also considered a leading expert in subconscious communications.
The five-day intensive module is organised at Seri Pacific Hotel Kuala Lumpur by NLP Academy, Power Events, Success Shop and Power Press & Design Sdn. Bhd.
Not bad, eh, for a 22-year old freelance copywriter?
Hmm… Maybe I’m able to get this Oris watch after all – without having to stake everything on a competition. After all, the idea was to be refined and defined!
