Imagine you'd never met a green person before, and suddenly you are walking down the street and you see two green people approaching, they jump on you, give you a few thumps and steal your wallet.
A few weeks later you are out walking again...when what comes around the corner but two green men.....
What do you do?....
a. Run like hell?
b. Think.... well the aforementioned green men are probably not representative of the green population as a whole and thus i can be confident that it's safe to walk right past them.
truth is..... most people would run like hell.... i know i would....
My initial experiences with NLP were awful..... I met some people who raved about it ... then i did a one day course and nearly got sick.... then i met another person who was mad into it and nearly gawked all over again.
So why have I just booked a six day NLP course.
a couple of reasons.
1. I can only assess things by experiencing them....if i don't have the experience of something...thyen no amount of scientific proof will change me.
2. it is unfair to make judgements on the basis of very limited or filtered experiences. As i get older i see more and more how people make definate judgements based upon very limitied experience....i don't want to be like that.
3. NLP is becoming much more mainstream and lucrative.... all the time i notice that NLP is mainstreaming itself into a recognised and except technique or skill. like things psychotherapy, or customer service, things that were not recognised previously are now the sources of mainstream income... like ringtones and crazy frogs.
4. I also ned a fresh dive into the "personal development" world myself and i have heard many good things about the 2 guys who run the course.
And so I may be like St Paul on the way home from Damascus in a few months, evangelically expounding the virtues of the NLP thing that i previously dismissed and even despised, if i'm not i'll have got through a fierce amount of time and money discovering that it's all Bullsh*t
but then as they say themselves, there is no failure, there's only feedback!
