| Changing Belief Systems | Our beliefs are a very powerful force on our behavior. It is common wisdom that if someone really believes he can do something he will do it, and if he believes something is impossible no amount of effort will convince him that it can be accomplished. Beliefs like "It's too late now;" "There's nothing I can do anyway;" "I'm a victim...My number came up;" can often limit a person from taking full advantages of their natural resources and unconscious competence. Our beliefs about ourselves and what is possible in the world around us greatly impact our day-to-day effectiveness. All of us have beliefs that serve as resources as well as beliefs that limit us. Most people recognize, for instance, that their belief systems can both directly and indirectly effect their health. It is often a simple matter to identify negative beliefs that lead to health related problems like substance abuse, constant fatigue, lowering of the body's natural defenses, and stress. Yet, how does one go about changing negative beliefs into beliefs that contribute to health? more... |
| From Coach to Awakener |  Coaching is the process of helping people and teams to perform at the peak of their abilities. It involves drawing out people's strengths, helping them to bypass personal barriers and limits in order to achieve their personal bests, and facilitating them to function more effectively as members of a team.In recent years, the notion of coaching has evolved to include new and more comprehensive forms--executive coaching and life coaching, which can be referred to as capital "C" Coaching. Large "C" Coaching involves helping people effectively achieve outcomes on a range of levels. We guide people to learn about new environments, for instance; coach them to improve specific behavioral competencies; teach them new cognitive capabilities; mentor empowering beliefs and values; sponsor growth at the identity level; and awaken peoplešs awareness of the larger system or "field." This book defines the types of contexts and situations which require the capital "C" Coach to focus on one of these roles--caretaker, guide, coach, teacher, mentor, sponsor, awakener--and provides a specific toolbox for each role. In other words, it provides a comprehensive tool set to be used by an effective coach to manage the entire scope of large "C" Coaching activities--from caretaking to awakening. |

| Effective Presentation Skills |  At some point in our lives we are probably all called upon to make a presentation of some sort. It may be at school, a social function or for some professional purpose. In fact, the demands of the 'information age' make it increasingly necessary and likely that we will need to make presentations as part of our normal activities. To make an effective presentation requires that we be able to communicate and relate to other people. These are very basic skills, yet they are not typically taught to us as part of our traditional classroom education or professional training. The purpose of this book is to provide some of the key practical communication and relational skills necessary to make effective presentations. more... |
| Modeling with NLP |  Thomas Jefferson once said, "If two individuals get together and exchange a dollar, they each walk away with one dollar. If the same individuals get together and exchange an idea, they both walk away with two ideas." In many ways, this statement expresses the vastly generative potential or "economics" of modeling. Modeling is the process of taking a complex event or phenomenon and breaking it into small enough chunks so that it can be recapitulated or applied in some way. Behavioral modeling involves observing and mapping the successful processes which underlie an exceptional performance of some type. The purpose of behavior modeling is to create a pragmatic map or 'model' of a particular behavior which can be used to reproduce or simulate some aspect of that performance by anyone who is motivated to do so. more... |

| Sleight of Mouth |  Sleight of Mouth is about the magic of words and language. Language is one of the key representational systems from which we build our mental models of the world, and has a tremendous influence upon how we perceive and respond to the world around us. As Sigmund Freud pointed out, "Words and magic were in the beginning one and the same thing." The right words at the right time can be uplifting, changing the course of someone's life for the better; opening up new vistas and possibilities. Unfortunately, words can also confuse and limit us as easily as they can empower us. The wrong words at the wrong time can be hurtful and damaging. more... |
| Strategies of Genius Volume I |  It has been said that human history is nothing more than a record of the deeds and ideas of great men and women. Ever since people began to turn their attention inward to examine their own thought processes, one of the hopes and promises of psychological inquiry has been to map out the key features of the mind that will allow our own thoughts to soar with the giants of history. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) provides a new set of tools that can allow us to take major steps toward this promising but elusive goal. The mission of NLP is to define and extend the leading edge of human knowledge - particularly our knowledge about ourselves - by 'modeling' the thought processes or 'strategies' of effective people. more... |
| Strategies of Genius Volume II |  Albert Einstein is not only acknowledged around the world as a genius but has practically become the symbol for genius in this century. His ideas encompassed our spiritual and social worlds as well as scientific and physical reality. He introduced a whole new paradigm of thinking that has affected many different areas of our lives. His discoveries in the field of theoretical physics made the "atomic age" possible and his humanitarianism has served as an example for the entire scientific community. His theory of relativity changed our entire conception of the universe and such basic aspects of our reality as time, space, matter and energy. more... |
| Strategies of Genius Volume III Robert B. Dilts with Gino Bonissone |
 Is it possible for mental and even physical healing to take place through the use of language alone? If so, how and why?What was the basis of Sigmund Freud's "talking cure" for the symptoms of hysteria and neurosis? What is the relationship between Freud's work and modern psychotherapeutic models? How can his methods help deal with everyday problems or assist people to change limiting beliefs? What made Leonardo da Vinci such a prolific scientific researcher as well as an exceptional artist? Is it possible for an average person to be as inventive as Leonardo? What made it possible for Nikola Tesla to build an entire machine using only his mind's eye? How does a person learn to visualize if he or she is not already able to do it naturally? more... |
| Tools For Dreamers Robert B. Dilts Todd Epstein and Robert Warren Dilts |
 Thomas Edison is widely quoted as having said that the process of invention is, '1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.' The implication of this statement is that most creative activity is in fact an incremental process that has a structure and requires organization and constant effort to maintain. In many ways, however, creativity has remained elusive - a seemingly mysterious gift that you either have or you don't have - rather than a set of skills that can be transferred and managed systematically and explicitly. more... |
| Tools of the Spirit: Pathways to the Realization of Universal Innocence Robert Dilts and Robert McDonald |
 "I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element; I want to know his thoughts; the rest are details." - Albert Einstein The term Spirit may be likened to what Einstein was referring to as "God's thoughts." In the words of Gregory Bateson, Spirit is "the pattern which connects" all things together as a kind of "larger Mind" of which we as individuals are a subsystem. more... |

| Cognitive Patterns of Jesus of Nazareth |
 The words and ideas of Jesus of Nazareth have had a major influence on the thinking of Western civilization for almost two thousand years now. "Christianity" of some form is the primary religion of almost every Western nation. The story of the life and deeds of Jesus of Nazareth has been translated into every major language and has been spread around the world by the various missionaries and churches that were spawned by his teachings. For centuries he has been hailed as the ultimate role model for Western Man. Millions of words have been written about his actions, sayings and ideology (and it is estimated that more has been written about Jesus in the last twenty years than the previous two thousand years). more... |
