Interview with Ariel Garten, speaker at the 2007 CANLP Conference, April 13 – 15, www.canlp.ca. Presentation title: What is the Neuro in Neuro Linguistic Programming, anyway
Would you please provide my readers 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 have a degree in Neuroscience from the University of Toronto and worked in the Playfair Neuroscience unit researching the role of oxyradicals on age-related neurodegenerative diseases. When I began practicing as a psychotherapist, NLP took on a large role in my methodology. I trained with Hugh Comerford in Toronto, and completed my masters with John Sweetnam and Roger Ellerton in Ottawa.
What is your current business practice and what role does NLP play?
As a psychotherapist and NLP practitioner who deals with a wide variety of issues, from chronic depression, to Turette's Syndrome, to personal productivity, I use NLP in almost every session. It very effectively enhances the effect of the Gestalt, CBT and expressive arts therapy work I do with my private and corporate clients. I find the Gestalt, CBT and Neuroscience background broaden my palette of resources for understanding ones emotions and effecting change, giving me a unique edge as an NLP practitioner.
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?
The title is "What is the Neuro in Neuro Linguistic Programming, anyway".
We know that the N in NLP stands for Neuro, but when the technique was developed in the 70's very little of the information scientists know about neuroscience today was available. We will learn how NLP is connected to Neuroscience, and how, from a brain-based level, we may be effecting change when we use its techniques. In today's emerging 'neuroscociety', understanding the world and our actions from the basis of the brain becomes not only topical, but critical.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
My private practice and consultancy is based in Toronto, Canada, where I have offices downtown and midtown. I am happy to field questions about NLP or help you effect personal change.
For those who would like to learn more about you, do you have a website that they can visit or a way that they can easily contact you?
I can be found at www.neuroconsulting.net or directly at ariel@neuroconsulting.net and look forward to engaging with you.

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

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.

Interview with Julie Fillion, speaker at the 2007 CANLP Conference, April 13 – 15, www.canlp.ca
Presentation title:
How to show value for your services: measuring the impact of NLP based interventions in business
Would you please provide my readers with a brief overview of your background?
My 20 year work experience in science and management gave me the opportunity to give presentations to various audiences as well as to manage teams. This is how I became interested in how people communicate, learn and develop, as well as in creating a motivating and efficient work environment. These interests led me to complete a Masters in Public Administration in 2002, and to become a certified NLP Master Practitioner in 2006.
What is your current business practice and what role does NLP play?
Topaz Coaching & Training Inc. offers consulting, training and coaching services. To put it succinctly, NLP gives me an edge to understand client’s internal motivations and preferred mode of communication; it also gives me a battery of tools and exercises that I use. The research paper I wrote towards my coaching studies investigates more in depth what NLP brings to the coaching competencies described by the International Coach Federation; this analysis reveals that NLP has a lot of value to bring to all coaching competencies.
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?
My presentation is on how to demonstrate value for your services to business clients. Since I have a background in management in a large organization, and I’m also a small business owner, I bring both perspectives to this topic, which many people perceive as being complex… My presentation will simplify this topic for CANLP participants who will learn how to measure the impact of their work by combining case studies and success stories with simple measurements. Large corporate clients need facts and figures to show return on investment, yet people also relate strongly to a good success story. My presentation will make the link between these two aspects of showing value for your services and will help small business owners with their marketing strategy. We will also look at what makes a study reliable and credible, so people will find it easier to chose which studies to cite in support of their work.
For those who would like to learn more about you, do you have a website that they can visit or a way that they can easily contact you?
My web site is currently under development; I can be contacted for information on the services I offer at: topazcoaching@yahoo.ca.
In particular, if there are specific questions people would like to see addressed during my presentation at the CANLP conference, I would love to hear them!

Interview with Annie Gohier, speaker at the 2007 CANLP Conference, April 13 – 15
Interview with Annie Gohier, speaker at the 2007 CANLP Conference, April 13 – 15, www.canlp.ca. Presentation title: La PNL appliquée aux enfants
Would you please provide my readers with a brief overview of your background (e.g. when did you first start to study NLP, what level of training have you achieved).
Je suis maître praticienne en PNL. J'étudie présentement en coaching PNL. J'ai fait ma formation dans 2 écoles. J'ai d'abord fait ma formation de base et de praticienne au CQPNL de Montréal. Puis j'ai fait ma formation de Maître Praticienne et Post Maître Coah PNL chez ID Com international auprès d'Isabelle David et son équipe. Je tenais à entreprendre l'étape du Maître Praticien et Post Maître au sein d'une équipe qui est à l'affût du développement de la PNL et qui y participe en prenant le temps de se questionner sur ce que devient la PNL au 21e siècle.
What is your current business practice and what role does NLP play?
La PNL m'a amené à perfectionner mon travail auprès des enfants et de leur famille. C'est à l'aide de la magie de la PNL que je peux parler au nom des enfants en décodant les messages qu'ils cachent sous les comportements parfois ennuyeux qu'ils adoptent. Ceci me permet ainsi de guider des familles vers l'harmonie et la conscientisation de chacun des êtres qui constituent le système familial. J'offre donc du coaching dans les familles me permettant d'observer les dynamiques. J'offre aussi des conférences pour les parents.
En plus, je travaille auprès d'intervenants en petite enfance, tant dans les CPE (garderies) que dans les écoles, afin de faciliter leur travail et de mieux comprendre les messages que les enfants leur envoient de façon très subtile et parfois même inconsciente.
La PNL m'amène aussi à soutenir les équipes de CPE et d'écoles dans la conscientisation de ce qui cause les problèmes vécus dans leur équipe de travail. La PNL est donc un outils fort utile afin d'identifier les stratégies des gens faisant partie de cette équipe et ainsi ramener un sentiment d'appartenance au sein du groupe.
Please tell us about any NLP articles or books that you have written.
J'écris des articles qui paraissent sur le site internet Petit Monde qui est un portail pour la famille et tous les gens qui travaillent auprès des enfants. On y retrouve une tonne d'informations à la fois concrètes et actuelles(www.petitmonde.com ) Il est aussi possible de visiter mon site Internet pour accéder à l'ensemble des articles que j'ai écrit. (www.attitudes-cft.com/publications.htm )
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?
La PNL appliquée aux enfants
Cet atelier se veut un clin d’oeil sur les différentes possibilités qu’offrent la PNL dans l’intervention auprès des enfants. Cet atelier par ses exemples vous inspirera dans votre travail auprès des enfants et vous permettra de découvrir de nouveaux outils à ajouter à votre coffre. C’est un rendez-vous! Le contenu de l’atelier est en français. Cet atelier s’adresse aux gens intéressés à tout ce qui touche les enfants et ce qui les entoure. (intervenants, parents et curieux)
Suite à cet atelier le participant sera en mesure:
- De mieux adhérer au monde de l’enfant
- De connaître et appliquer le modèle SCORE pour les enfants
- De connaître différentes techniques d’intervention par le jeu inspirées d’outils de la PNL
