I don’t know about you, but for me the end of summer and the move into autumn always feels like something of a marker. Perhaps it’s an awareness that the year as a whole is coming to an end. Maybe it’s the approaching winter. It could even be a throwback to the start of the
A lot of NLP looks at language and how we use it to convey our messages. Importantly, it recognises the power of language, and how our choice of words can change the message. The same applies to images and sounds, how things feel, and how they taste and smell. Indeed, our whole world is made
I’m fairly confident that most of us have, at some point, wondered why we’re completing training. It may have been while we were in education.

In my podcast on 27th April 2026 (series 3, episode 4 – “Communication now in a thought-created world”) I talked about the NLP Model of Communication. It’s all about how we process the world through our five senses. We do, though, each have a preferred system for processing the world and a preferred system for
