Interview with Ariel Garten, speaker at the 2007 CANLP Conference, April 13 – 15, www.canlp.ca

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.

Interview with Patricia O'Reilly, Speaker at the 2007 CANLP Conference

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

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.
