There are winners and losers. There cannot be only winners, a fundamental that nlp globally ignores.

It’s like the analogy that goes; ‘Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.’

NLP doesn’t work, people work.

There is always a positive intention behind behaviors, but there aren’t always positive behaviors to enact those intentions.

It’s true that people must have the desire to change first before changing. But what if they have the desire to change but not the know-how?

That’s a very common problem.

I think that’s where tools like coaching, NLP, gym, tuition, mindmapping, whatever, come in.

Also, we’ve all had our minds changed by people before.

The salesman who convinces us that we should buy from him. The advertisement that makes us think one brand is better than the other. The friend who convinces us to watch a movie.

How do we, as friends and coaches, then help push someone over ‘the tipping point’ (no reference to the book) between wanting and not wanting to change?

Bandler says that if people aren’t ready to change, you should be good enough to make them. Whereas Erickson was of the opinion that some people just couldn’t be changed.

Which belief is more empowering? Perhaps the flexibility to see both sides of the issue and come up with your useful belief for the context you’re in is the most empowering belief of all.

What if LC employs a personal trainer, use the service of a coach, sign up and use a yoga membership?

Does it mean that she’ll achieve even more in that span of 6 months? Probably.

Maybe, she avoids probable injury and a better overall toning with a PT. She can better align her new image with a coach. She finds a new sense of balance with yoga.

Maybe she’s best suited for doing things all on her own.

For what it’s worth, congratulation to LC for being healthier and to the NLPer for gaining a new insight like we have. :->
