The year is 2021. Bear with me, hear, as there’s something to say. Thanks to a type of Coronavirus, our entire world has changed since our “ignorance-is-bliss” (aka “It-could-never-happen-here”) time until it hit us. Many of us worked in offices others behind counters, some among the general public (LEOs, EMTs, truck drivers, et al), while […]
This article details a lesson from a Practitioner Certification Class in 2001 At times, shifting the subject’s perception of the present time can be useful in influencing him or her to change now.

In NLP parlance, that “worldview” is our “Map of the World”, the complete set of filters, biases, beliefs, that shape our perception of reality, […]
As Covid-19, despite the amusing conspiracy theorists’ wishes, proved to actually be a “thing”, it almost immediately shifted the work landscape for millions of people. That is, for those who didn’t get laid off or furloughed, and my heart goes out to them. Or US because it eventually included me as well! But one of […]
Those of us who work with influence, particularly the unconscious variety, know that we are all being influenced all the time – often without our explicit agreement.
