Interview with Patricia O'Reilly, speaker at the 2007 CANLP Conference, April 13 – 15, www.canlp.ca.

Presentation title: Somatic User Interface

Would you please provide a brief overview of your background (e.g. when did you first start to study NLP, what level of training have you achieved).

I started taking NLP courses in the late 70s and was an NLP trainer by the early 80s. I have trained with most of the original NLPers; been on the board of IALP, NAANLP; served an the Canadian representative to these bodies; and worked actively on CANLP since the late 80s. I've presented at NLP conferences in both Canada and the USA.

What is your current business practice and what role does NLP play?

I established Metamorph Us in 1987. We give NLP practitioner and Master trainings and use NLP in coaching and consulting with a current emphasis on Stop Smoking with NLP and hypnosis. Recent client was NRC (National Research Council). We are one of the few NLP Institutes using NLP and Noology.

Please tell us about any NLP articles or books that you have written.

I have created an original pattern called 'Kairos'. It's a way to take the clutter out of making decisions and is availiable as a DVD with handouts in eight languages.

Another original product is a illustrated chart to help parents, care givers and child care workers use somatic movement to help babies reach a state to achieve success, and more easily deal with the unexpected.

Two articles have been published in Suppose, the CANLP magazine. Back issues can be accessed at their web site www.canlp.ca Other articles have appeared in an assortment of publications most of which can be seen at www.metamorphus.com/artcls.

Would you please provide a brief summary of your presentation at the CANLP conference and indicate the key points that someone in your audience can expect to learn?

This newly created NLP pattern explores the effects of shifting perceptual awareness on a problem even as it helps us understand how & where problems inhabit our own personal space.

Learning objectives include:

* utilizing up to 14 spatial positions for change

* understanding of a new new tool for change that is successful with individuals and groups

Presentation title: Irresistible Presentations (preconference seminar) and The State of Success in the New Millenium. (Sex, Diets and Success) (keynote address)

Would you please provide us with a brief overview of your background (e.g. when did you first start to study NLP, what level of training have you achieved).

I started studying NLP in 1983 in Paris where I was working as a communication trainer. I continued learning and teaching NLP until I returned to Canada in 1989. I was the founding president of the Canadian Association of NLP in its current format and continue to support the organization in many ways.

What is your current business practice and what role does NLP play?

I am in the behaviour change business; helping people acquire the reflexes they need in high stakes situations. I use applied NLP and the contents of my book Words That Change Minds to help people become masterful persuaders: marketing, negotiating, sales, and high performing teams. I also certify people around the world to become Words That Change Minds trainers and consultants. My company Success Strategies / Stratégies de réussite provides behaviour change programs, training and keynote speaking around North America and Europe in English, French and Spanish.

Canadians can also occasionally see me on CBC, CTV and other networks commenting on election campaign strategy, or you can see these clips for yourself at my site:
www.successtrategies.com.

Please tell us about any NLP articles or books that you have written.

Our top bestseller is our CD Presenting Ideas to Skeptical People.
We also have Understanding and Triggering Motivation; Building Long Term Relationships with Clients (Decode what your customers really want); Only Pick a Fight When You Can Win.
In French we have my book: Le Plein pouvoir des mots and the brand new CD set: Communication. Motivation. Efficacité.

Would you please provide a brief summary of your presentation at the CANLP conference and indicate the key points that someone in your audience can expect to learn?

I will be conducting a pre-conference seminar called Irresistible Presentations so people can learn how to move large and small audiences with elegance and logic. And I will be giving the keynote address, entitled The State of Success in the New Millenium. (Sex, Diets and Success) which is a critique of the self-help and success movements with a proposal for alternatives!
Is there anything else you would like to add?


I would love to see many people attend our conference. This is THE gathering in Canada for people who love NLP and want to make a difference in the world.

Interview with Paula Engels, speaker at the 2007 CANLP Conference, April 13 – 15

Interview with Paula Engels, speaker at the 2007 CANLP Conference, April 13 - 15 .

Presentation title: The "All You Can Eat Buffet" Approach to Creating Success.

Would you please provide a brief overview of your background (e.g. when did you first start to study NLP, what level of training have you achieved).

I first started studying NLP in 1992 after staffing several Firewalk and Date With Destiny Seminars with Tony Robbins. I was a writer, with my own corporate communications company, and I wanted to learn how to reach people the way Tony could. After my first NLP Practitioner Training with Tad James, I was hooked. I went on to take the Master Practitioner and Trainer’s Training.

What is your current business practice and what role does NLP play?

At first I studied NLP to enhance my communication skills, and because I enjoyed the learning. Once I took the Master Practitioner and then the Trainer’s Training I knew I had to share this technology, so I began a small NLP coaching practice. Today I still have my corporate communications business, I coach individuals, and I also use my NLP and Solutions Focus skills as a corporate consultant and team builder.

Would you please provide a brief summary of your presentation at the CANLP conference and indicate the key points that someone in your audience can expect to learn?

When a consultant is called into a company it is usually because management is aware that there are problems. Rarely do we get a call because things are going really well and they want to build upon their strengths to get to the next level. However, like with individuals, although they are noticing what is wrong with their picture, there is a lot more going on that is “right”, and it is a matter of focus, perspective, perception, and the energy created in the resulting paradigm that determines their experience and the level of their success.

Would you please provide a brief summary of your presentation at the CANLP conference and indicate the key points that someone in your audience can expect to learn?

Our workshop will be experiential and fun. We will demonstrate how shifting our focus from analyzing the situations that we don’t want, deciding what we do want, and noticing how much is working (and doing more of it) can lead to solutions that support and encourage positive transformation in any system.

Participants will learn several techniques to facilitate moving toward what they want more easily and effectively which they will be able to use on themselves, as well as with individual and group clients.

Making changes takes just a little longer with the "Impossible"

This workshop is about designing the kind of space and relationship that increases the probability and supports people in taking a quantum leap in their evolution or growth:

  • learn a working model for effectively dealing with the more challenging problems people bring.
  • understand your own beliefs and obstacles about taking on the impossible.
  • experience a model of helping people to become their own expert
