Happenings

Hi everyone,

Sorry about the extended absence from the blog but life got the better of me.

To recap what has happened since my last blog entry:

1) I travelled to Malaysia to conduct a series of Sports Nutrition and Weight Management training sessions for the GNC staff over there. The training sessions were well received and the staff were enthusiastic and highly interactive.

Kuala Lumpur is a busy, crowded noisy city with roads that seem to wind away rather than towards your chosen destination. The food is great and very cheap and there is plenty of shopping to be done, although I didn’t find the shopping any cheaper than Australia to be honest. Overall, a week in Kuala Lumpur was more than enough for me and I was happy to be heading home by the time I left.

2) Completed a 4 day course in Training Design conducted by The Organisational Development Group and led by Roger Deaner. This training was very interesting, extremely educational and highly valuable. It incorporated elements of NLP, Spiral Dynamics Integral, the Satir categories and the 4MAT model of training. This training was a pre-requisite for my NLP Trainers Training which followed the week after.

3) Completed my NLP Trainer’s Training classroom hours. This was also conducted under the masterful direction of Roger Deaner under the Leadervision banner with his co-trainer Elise Barratt-Hassett, chief trainer Sean Healy, and my mentor James Tsakalos assisting the training process. Roger is intending on retiring and this was to be his last Trainer’s Training. Next to my NLP Prac and Master Prac training with James Tsakalos, this was one of the most profound and challenging courses I have ever participated in. It literally was a path of initiation that I will never forget. The rigour and discipline Roger demands from his NLP trainer candidates and mentor trainers is exceptionally high. I am very fortunate to have had the bar set so high by a group of remarkably talented and gifted NLP trainers.

To all my fellow classmates, I congratulate you on your acomplishment of gaining your interim NLP Trainers Certification and I look forward to hearing about your successes when we next catch up.

To my fellow bloggers and subscribers, watch this space. Now that I have a bit more time on my hands I will make an effort to upload more content.

Cheers,

Paul
