Using Executive Development to Your Company’s Advantage
Executive development is the processes of helping the head people in your organization develop their skills and competence levels in order to become better in their jobs.
Why is executive development important?
Whereas most companies have programs in place to train and develop the people who work in their organizations, many neglect to provide the same sort of training and development of their executive level personnel. Large corporations or companies may have a separate executive training program in place, or their main headquarters may offer something for them, but many have nothing at all in place to train or develop these important figures in their organization.

A transcription of John Grinder discussing 'parts'
You’re asking ‘is there is a positive intention behind attempting to committing suicide?’ And my client Percy says, “No, I just want to be dead.” And you go, “what would you get if you had that or what is the intention of being dead?” Percy replies, “Oh to escape, this is an intolerable way to live?”
So there’s the “intention of intention”, now do you consider that a positive intention, “yeah I get to escape all this crap”… Good, there’s the positive intention, now you can work with it or you can work without it….. I have got to tell you a story, this will make you laugh.

An article understanding the importance of good sleep
Sleep is the temporary state of unconsciousness indispensable for every human being after a long day of work. After a good night of sleep, one wakes up with a newly found vigour to start their day. Judging by our apparent state of inactiveness during sleep, most of us believe that sleep is that point of time when the brain takes rest after a whole day of hard work. But this is not at all the case! Electrophysiological trials have proved that sleep is specific brain wave criteria and comprise of a series of explicitly controlled brain states governed by a group of brain stem nuclei. Infants have a high requirement of 17 hours of sleep daily. This decline to 7-8 hours in case of adults and as one approaches old age, sleep becomes even lighter. A night of insufficient sleep leaves us restless for the entire day, creating a “sleep debt” and it should to be repaid in the following days for proper functioning of our mind and body.

An article on self-image, self-esteem and self-perception
How you perceive yourself is perhaps one of the most important parts of your psyche. The problem we continually find with our clients is that is that many people have a negative self-perception – they constantly feel that they are inadequate or inferior to others around them. Self-perception and self-esteem are very important. A lot of the time people’s self-esteem is based on how they think others perceive them, and this of course directly affects how they perceive themselves.

John Grinder Discusses New Code NLP and it's distinctions
This is a transcription of a talk by John Grinder on New Code NLP
In the Classic Code, the typical practitioner, focusing on their practice to come to mastery will, typically, when working besides a client who wishes to make a change, literally will ask that person at the conscious level, “What would you prefer to do? What new behaviors, or how would you like to change the quality of your experience?” All of these questions are answerable at the conscious level.
In the actual practice by Bandler and myself, what we did if we used those interrogatories, was to recognize that by asking those questions to the conscious mind, it would illicit certain kinds of responses typically nonverbalizations and big words that would take some time to specify.

John Grinder discusses The Know Nothing State and the Demon State
This is a transcription of a talk by John Grinder on the Know Nothing State.
When we were first in Hong Kong, there were two women and one male, monks, out of a Buddhists temple there, who were apparently decision makers for this temple. They came invited by our sponsor.
When Carmen did that (NLP Application) from sitting in 1st position to 3rd - the state that they automatically achieved in this transition, they asked if we would come and teach them how to do this, because this state was equivalent to the state they would achieve after about 3 to 3 and a half weeks of meditation… but it happened in 7 minutes. So they were fascinated by the technology that gave them certain access to classes of state which were highly valued in their traditions.
