Look For Treasure
One of the cool things about the human brain is don’t know much about it. Why is that cool? Because there’s so much potential. Think about it, when you think about your quadriceps or your nose hairs or something, it’s just an easy to understand, bio-mechanical piece of equipment. Once you know what it does, […]
Movies, Milton and Storytelling Magic
Ever hear of the old Greek idea of catharsis? It’s the notion that by watching some characters in a story play something out on stage (or in books or movies) we kind of get a sense of “release” by vicariously experiencing at least some of the emotions they’re going through.

Union Negotiations – Integration of Parts For Massive Congruence
You know how when they have those high level negotiations on TV, be it unions or heads of state? The structure is pretty simple.

After all, you could take any sentence that anybody says starting out with those two words and question them with “according to […]
Ad Power For Self Growth
Advertisers are among the smartest Jedi persuaders out there. When you think about it, if you are good at persuasion, becoming an advertiser is a great way to make a living. However, today I’d like to talk about personal change. One of the great things about NLP is that you can use to it model […]
Maximize Fractionation
Today’s topic is fractionation. Going in and out of hypnotic trance, and going deeper and deeper each and every time. Have you ever read a novel by an author that you’ve read before? It’s kind of like you know what to expect, so you get right into it. Especially if it’s the kind of book […]
The Metaphor Metaphor
Most people are surprised when they find out how much of our everyday language is filled with metaphors. To get a bit technical, words themselves are metaphors, for the ideas the words represent. Just like the story of the Tortoise and the Hare, one of the widely learned metaphors in human history, the word “dog” […]
