In this episode of the Practical NLP Podcast I interview Duff McDuffee, one of the most thoughtful people in modern NLP. He specialises in helping creative and neurodivergent people who ‘think different’, as that classic Apple ad used to say.
In our wide-ranging conversation we talk about:
Duff's first introduction to NLP - as for many people, it was via Tony Robbins
What it was like working for Ken Wilber
What it was like working for Steve and Connirae Andreas (very different)
The two 'paradigms' (or ways of seeing the world)
A technique for reducing the pain of learning from your mistakes
Reframing failure
The importance of joy in motivation
An easy 'pattern interrupt' process for loosening fears around money or getting yourself out of a stressful state
... and much more!
This episode is sponsored by Duff's Transforming Money Fears Masterclass, that starts on 18 May 2024.In this live class on Zoom, you'll learn specific methods for transforming any fears you have around money. The goal is to go from feeling worried and stuck to feeling safe and optimistic!And when you feel good about money, you're more likely to try things that will bring in more money. This is especially helpful for those of us who are entrepreneurs, as we create our own fortunes. So hopefully this class will pay for itself!PLUS - book via my link and I'll send you the Collected Practical NLP Podcast Episodes 1-78! This normally retails for $39.99 - and it includes transcripts!

NLP has a number of ways to help people get over traumatic incidents. Let's delve into them to see how they work.
Includes:
How your brain 'pattern matches' your experience in real time to scan for danger
Why talking about traumatic experiences isn't always the best way to put them behind you
The vital structure/content distinction in NLP
Three types of cognitive reframing
Pavlov to the rescue!
How your brain's routines are like the title sequence of 'Elementary'
Why our problems are like hypnotic trances
... and much more!

Andy Smith in conversation with NLP Trainer, coach and author Margaret Nash.
Here are some of the things we talk about:
Why smoking cessation or maybe weight loss is the thing to specialise in if you want to make money as a hypnotherapist, and helping people with deeper problems is probably a terrible business modelMy theory about how 'manifestation' actually works (when it does work)How to improve your performance and be your best self more often with self-modelling - three easy stepsThe crucial importance of exploring your 'recovery strategy' (if there's something you think you're not good at, maybe it's because you don't have one in that context!)Why 'Good job!' should be the start of the conversation when a team member does something you like, rather than then end as it so often is (hat tip to Marcus Buckingham here)'Uptime' and 'downtime' - and why you need to be in 'uptime' when you're talking with a client or presenting to an audienceThe importance of persistence (this reminded me of Carol Dweck's work on 'mindset')How Margaret 'found her Zen' as a coach, and some tips on how you can too, as described in her latest bookThe difference in approach between coaching and 'classic' NLP changework.
Here's my take on the three steps of 'self-modelling', to improve your performance and be your best self more often:
Think of something you do well. And really examine in detail what you're doing when you perform that skill - not just what you do and say, but what you're thinking about, what you're saying to yourself, how you're feeling, how you're standing, how you're breathing, what feedback you're looking for that tells you if you're doing well or badly - everything.In particular, what's your recovery strategy if you're knocked off track? (for example, if you're doing an important presentation and there's a technical failure on your PowerPoint)Now do the same thing with a skill you want to improve. Notice the differences between all these aspects of how you do this, your recovery strategy, etc, and the way you do the thing you're good at.Now map the qualities of the way you do the thing you're good at over to the thing you're not so good at. What happens if you start doing this thing with the same confidence, internal dialogue etc that you use with the thing you're good at? Then try it out!

Margaret has written seven books on various aspects of personal development, managing the stages of your life, and coaching - you can find them at her Amazon author page.

A bit of a rant this week, inspired by the many, many posts I've seen on NLP forums from rookie NLP practitioners who ask what technique they should be using with a particular client problem.
They're going about it all wrong, and their NLP trainers should have showed them the right way!
Here's how to approach any client problem so you'll know what to do...
(for SEO purposes I should probably mention that it's to do with strategy elicitation)

This week we have the second half of an interview that we did about how to apply the principles or ‘presuppositions’ of NLP to improve your life and work.
In the first half we explored the principle that “The map is not the territory”. In this interview we look at another principle that flows naturally from that one: “Respect for the other person’s map of the world”.
Among other things, we talk about:
Why you can't change someone's mind unless you start from where they are now
The importance of establishing credibility in a business context
If you focus too much on achieving a desired outcome from every communication, you will miss out on more open conversations where both parties learn from each other.
Appreciative Inquiry, a method of change that focuses on doing more of what is already working rather than trying to analyse problems, and the difference that can make in your life (OK it's not NLP but it's worth knowing about)
How to use the ‘scaling’ tool from the related field of Solution Focus in coaching and self-improvement (also not NLP, also worth knowing about)
How to use ‘chunking’ to overcome inertia
... and much more!
My interviewer is NLP coach Deb Johnstone, and the interview was originally conducted as part of her ‘Better Balance Greater Business’ summit - contact her at debjohnstone.com.au to find out more about that.
The free gift she mentions is my audiobook Practical NLP: How to use NLP principles to improve your life and work, even if you’re not NLP trained yet - download it from nlppod.com!
More about the 'Respect For The Other Person's Map Of The World' presupposition
More about establishing your credibility
More about outcome-focused persuasion versus learning conversations here: 'Is NLP Manipulative?'
More about how to use scaling questions
More about Appreciative Inquiry here - I run a two-day course in how to get started with using it in group facilitation or one-to-one coaching.

This week’s episode is something a bit different. Instead of me interviewing a prominent member of the NLP community, it’s someone interviewing me – about the principles or ‘presuppositions’ of NLP and how you can use them to be more effective in your life and work, even if you’re not NLP trained.
My interviewer is Deb Johnstone, an NLP coach based in Cairns City, Australia. Deb specialises in helping women business owners to achieve more with less stress, and to this end she put together the ‘Better Balance Greater Business’ summit, a series of video interviews with 23 experts, one of which was me.
You may have seen my messages and blog posts about this last month – it was a wonderful opportunity for people who signed up to get a lot of knowledge for free.
Now that the summit has finished, my interview has become available for release. I think it’s the best interview I’ve done so far.
This is the first half of the audio from the interview – if you want to see the video (it’s pretty much two ‘talking heads’), I have now put that up on my YouTube channel.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS2LQSpZTDE&t=3s
It was supposed to be a half-hour interview, but we ended up talking for over an hour. That’s a bit long for a podcast (or longer than my listeners are used to anyway) so this episode is part one, with part two coming next week.
This episode is all about the most important (in my view) presupposition of NLP, the idea that ‘the map is not the territory’.
In other words, what you are experiencing right now, your reality, is not actually the real world around you, but a filtered and partial representation of it, that bears the same relation to objective reality as a map does to the territory that it represents.
Most people confuse the map with the territory. In the interview, we talk about the various problems that can cause, and how to avoid those problems.
To explore this topic further, you may be interested in the earlier article about this presupposition, the story of ‘The Ultimate Map’, and of course my free audiobook ‘Practical NLP: how to use NLP principles to improve your life and work, even if you're not NLP trained’ that covers this and the other 'presuppositions' of NLP in depth.

This week's episode is an interview with LAB Profile® queen Shelle Rose Charvet - with a very special offer included!
One of the most respected figures in NLP, (and probably the most entertaining speaker), and bestselling author, Shelle has been researching and using the LAB Profile® (a more user-friendly development of metaprograms) for over 25 years.
In our conversation, we discover:
how Shelle got into NLP
what she's excited about in the field now
the existence of software that can analyse people's LAB Profile patterns from their emails and tell you how to reply in a way that matches their patterns
why the LAB Profile is not about putting people in boxes
how to recruit proactive people
a tip for influencing 'internally referenced' people that won't put off 'externally referenced' people
... and much more!
Special offer for podcast listeners - valid until 16 April 2018:
Take the Online LAB Practitioner certification course for half price - visit this link to check it out and should you decide to go ahead, use the coupon code FROMANDY50% (I am taking this course myself and I can confirm that it's really useful and high quality)
Sites Shelle mentions in the podcast:
The NLP Research and Recognition Project
The NLP Leadership Summit
Books by Shelle:
If you are at all interested in NLP, you probably have Shelle's first book, Words That Change Minds: Mastering The Language Of Influence, already (and if you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it).
Shelle tells me that her second book, The Customer Is Bothering Me, is really the one that the NLP reader will be interested in, as it takes the insights of the LAB Profile to the next level (which has given me the nudge I needed to finally start reading it myself).
