If like me and many other people you have been enjoying the summer sun and blue sky’s here in Newcastle upon Tyne, you might also have been enjoying how all this amazingly good weather gets people out of the house and brings us together.

Now speaking of getting out of the house and people coming together, have you ever considered how valuable it is to be able to build new relationships and improve existing ones?

All to often, myself included, I find people can get way to bogged down in work and the things that ‘you have to do’ and quite literally put the most important relationships with friends, family and partners on the back burner.

In any situation be it business, with friends or partners being able to connect and build even better relationships is an invaluable skill.

And, by using some simple tools, building relationships becomes a very learnable skill.

Whatever your job or interest is, you need to be able to connect with people and to be able to build great relationships and this is the ability to connect deeply with people when you choose to do so.

And how do you connect deeply with people?  NLP of course!

Now, you have probably had the experience of meeting some people who you really get on with famously, they are warm, seem to say all the right things. They inspire trust and friendship too … you have also likely had the opposite kind of experience with other people too …

Whatever kinds of experiences you have had in terms of connecting ( or not ) and building amazing relationships ( or not ) you will be aware that having the choice to connect deeply and build better relationships is an amazing skill that opens up a massive possibilities and opportunities for both you and the all people you meet.

So, with this in mind, you are invited to consider for yourself and the important people in your life, how further developing your skills and ability to connect and relate to others will improve your life.

With that in mind, we invite you to come to The NLP Cafe because we want those of you who are interested in connecting and building better relationships with others to have the tools to make it easier to connect more deeply with people.

And as you might expect we have scheduled the next NLP Cafe - Building Better Relationships For Summer - for this month in June just in time to for summer and the wonderful opertunities to build better relationships and really connect with people. So while the time is upon us and the weather is good, we invite you to get to the NLP Cafe the month.

And if you book your place now, you can rest assured you will be learning how to improve your skills in relating with people and connecting more meaningfully too as you enjoy the summer … and the new oppertunities that come with the summer sun and blue sky’s.

NLP Practice Group with Nigel Hetherington and Andy Hunt

How often have you heard other people lamenting their inability to put things into perspective? If only we could step back and appreciate the bigger picture and put things into context. Fortunately NLP gives us some specific techniques to allow us to do just that.

In this week’s NLP Cafe Andy Hunt will take you through two processes for putting things into perspective. The Perspectives Pattern invented by NLP trainer John McWhirter and further developed by Steve Andreas. In this workshop we will learn to use this simple process to resolve troublesome images and unhelpful self talk. You will need to have had some experience of NLP to use these processes.

Join Nigel Hetherington and Andy Hunt at the NLP Cafe workshop on Wednesday 20th May at St Oswald’s Hospice Teaching Centre, Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne at 7pm. The cost is just £10.

All sorts of self help books stress the value of having long term and short term goals. Usually these goals are expressed as things - a new car, a bigger house, the life partner of your dreams, a dream holiday etc. Which is odd, because the purpose of these things and activities is to give us certain feelings - security, freedom, love, relaxation, etc.

The theme of this NLP Cafe is exploring the states and feelings that we want to achieve from realising our goals and outcomes and using those emotions to make our goals that much more appealing and motivating.

To try out the Feelings of Outcomes and how you can put them to good use join Nigel Hetherington and Andy Hunt at the NLP Cafe workshop on Wednesday 15th April at St Oswald’s Hospice Teaching Centre at 7pm.

Pay £9.00 in advance online or £10 at the event.

The Newcastle NLP practice group the NLP Cafe meets every month on the third Wednesday in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne. The NLP Cafe is sponsored by North East based IntegrityNLP - NLP and Hypnotherapy Trainings.

Each month we have a structured practice session. The coming session on Wednesday 18th March is the NLP Forgiveness Pattern by Steve and Connirae Andreas.

Sometimes we really do need the skills and ability to be able to forgive others and to be able to forgive ourself. Quite often or more like most of the time when someone has committed what we can perceive as some deliberate or unforgivable act against us that has violated our values that can go on to cause anger, blaming and resentment. This of course can also apply to perceived self-transgressions.

Using the Forgiveness Pattern it is possible to transform what are essentially unhelpful states into forgiveness and compassion. This particular practice session does require you have some NLP skills and experience.

To have an experience of the Forgiveness Pattern and how you can put it into practice join Nigel Hetherington and Andy Hunt at the NLP Cafe workshop on Wednesday 18th March at St Oswald’s Hospice Teaching Centre at 7pm.

Pay £9.00 in advance online or £10 at the event.

The NLP Cafe is complementary for all participants on both of our current NLP Practitioner Training Courses.

The SCORE model was invented by Robert Dilts and Todd Epstein in the mid 80s when they looked at the way that they were helping their clients and student solve problems. By dividing the problem down into the following components:

• Symptoms: The signs that something is wrong or not as it should be. In personal life this could be an anxiety or traumatic response, in a work setting it could be a poorly motivated team or a misbehaving class.
• Causes: What happened in the life of the individual or group that lead to these symptoms
• Outcomes: What do you want instead? Where do you want to be when the problem is solved. An outcome orientation is a fundamental part of the NLP world view.
• Resources: What skills, feelings, beliefs, values and other resources do you have that can be used to get you where you want to go.
• Effects: What are the effects of the outcome you are seeking. How will your goal play out over time? A consideration of the long term results of a plan often makes a huge difference to what happens (the Invasion of Iraq being a good example of what happens when you don’t think beyond the obvious objective).

To have an experience of the SCORE model and how you can put it into practice join Nigel and Andy at the NLP Cafe workshop on Wednesday 11th February at St Oswald’s Hospice Teaching Centre at 7pm. You don’t need any knowledge of NLP to attend this event but you do need to be willing to roll up your sleeves and join in.

Pay £9.00 in advance online or £10 at the event.

Sorry! This workshop is now fully booked.

The NLP Cafe is back in the new year and taking one of the real true essences of live very seriously! Laughter!

This laughter workshop is hosted by Keith Adams of Voluntary Aspirations.

The event will be fun, stimulating and you will laugh out loud a lot.  There are a maximum of 18 places - now fully booked.

“Life today is very stressful. More than 70% of all illnesses have some relationship to stress. The best way to reduce stress is through laughter - its the best medicine and the least expensive. Research shows that laughter decreases stress hormones. Epinephrine is lowered both in anticipation of and doing laughter.

There is more. Laughter therapy helps to increase antibodies - its good for the immune system. Laughter stimulates heart and blood circulation. It is claimed that one minute of laughter is equal to ten minutes on the rowing machine. It also tones facial muscles and expressions - people look younger and are more fun when they laugh.

Laughter is socially bonding. It stimulates the creative side of the brain and leads to clear thinking. ”
