Everything you know about NLP is wrong

I'm speaking at the NLP Conference to be held in London, April 2016 on the subject of...

Everything you know about NLP is wrong

And that's why you can't always get the results you intended.

When trainers just emulate the pseudo-science they’ve been taught instead of testing for themselves, they pass that on to their students. So instead of an evolving, developing field, we have bad techniques being taught badly, and then we wonder why NLP gets a bad name.

For example, if you have trouble getting anchoring to work reliably, it's because you've been taught it wrong. And you're probably trying to use it to access resources such as confidence, which is the wrong way to use it.

Swish? Having trouble keeping the client's mind on the process? You've been using it wrong.


Just can't get your head round the Six Step Reframe? You've been doing it wrong.

But how can all of these experts be so wrong? Because they have failed to take into account the 30 years of neuroscience research since NLP was first created.

And we’ve learned a lot in 30 years...

Overall, delegates will learn to incorporate the last 30 years of real scientific research into their NLP practice, so that they can use NLP more reliably and consistently and avoid many of the myths that surround the field.

Delegates will learn the easy, right way to perform techniques such as:

Anchoring – and use it correctly, not just to access states
Swish – and use it any place, any time, even in business meetings
Six Step Reframe – surely, there’s an easier way?

Delegates will also learn the ‘truth’ about some of NLP’s most loved concepts, such as Eye Accessing Cues, Metaprograms and Logical Levels.

Delegates will even learn the most surprising revelation of all – that submodalities, the very bedrock of NLP’s approach to subjective experience, are completely made up.

This workshop will be practical, it will show you a better, easier, more reliable way to use NLP’s techniques, and it’s based on 30 years of research in neuroscience and 20+ years of personal research and experimentation.

Overall, this workshop will bring delegates’ knowledge of NLP up to date and give them a new understanding of the subject which will make them measurably more effective in applying techniques with their clients.

Peter delivers hundreds of hours of training, and hundreds of coaching sessions every year and incorporates fresh insights and learnings back into his books and his training at every opportunity.

Does that mean that he knows best? No, it only means that he’s open to the challenge, that to evolve, we must often let go of our most valued beliefs.
