Most people think of dreams as some kind of unattainable fantasy, or as something they do in their sleep. When I speak of dreams, I mean our aspirations, goals, and hopes that we most want for ourselves, our families, friends and business associates. I invite you to have dreams in the areas of personal, professional, relationship, health, finance a...

Do you ever feel like there are parts of you saying yes, while other parts are holding you back? There is a cast of characters that live inside of us all, and at different times we may be run by one more than  another. If you can turn the volume up on the voice of the dreamer, and the volume down on the voice of the doubter, you will create mo...

When the great speaker and visionary of our time, Martin Luther King, Jr., gave that riveting speech that echoed around the world, and still does today, he did not say, "I have a strategic plan." Nor did he say he had a goal, a philosophy or a manifesto. What did he say? Of course he said, "I have a dream."  In business, dreaming is serious bu...

I define dreams as the aspirations, desires, goals, and hopes that you most want for yourself. To simplify the process of developing projects to make your dreams come true, ask, "What dream do I have that I can turn into an exciting project?" Then look for ways to make your project a part of your life, to get it scheduled into your calendar. Now th...

When I work with companies, a frequently asked question is, "How can I take this message back to the office?" How can we maintain passion in the face of "reality," filled with challenges, cutbacks and deadlines? Since we live primarily from our clocks and calendars, passion may seem frivolous, but make no mistake. Passion and productivity do go han...

They're the glue that keep relationships together.In order to reach depth in a relationship, you need to take risks, you need to be vulnerable at times as well as have courage. You need to share yo...

Although we all have a tendency not to bother others or to recruit assistance, the magic that happens whenever two or more are gathered is uncanny. I personally believe you're only a phone call away from anyone in the world that you need to contact. Use this knowledge to your advantage. Letting others help you is a form of true generosity, because ...

In this article I'd like to ask you to change the way you think about certain items of food. Let's say that you eat lots of cake, begin to notice how you think about that. Not what you think about it but how you think about cake.Some people think about the cake and see it up really close and big. For others it will be further away. When you think o...

Many people who try to lose weight often talk about willpower and motivation. Motivational events are a big industry, so many people think:

• “If only I was motivated, I could lose weight.”
• “if I had the motivation, I’d go to the gym”
• If only I was motivated, I’d eat healthily.”

​Here's some interesting research on weight loss from social psychologist, Stanley Schachter . One question he asked was "How do taste and flavour affect the amount that people eat?The following is Andrew Austin's interpretation on the work that Schachter did. In one of his experiments he invited 100 overweight people to a party and 100 slim people...

How do you live as a person who has lost weight?What do you do in terms of lifestyle once you no longer need to diet? So many people can lose the excess weight, but as soon as they have done so, they don't know what to do. In fact most have...

For many troubled people, what we see as their problem is often seen by them as their solution. Take overeating for example. Food makes them feel good about a difficult life. Food is their emotional solution. NLP suggests that every behaviour has a positive intention. In other words, every problem is...

Now you understand the three stage abreaction (See previous blog) and how people will feed you information in order to maintain a particular relationship. How does this all relate to food and weight loss? This is based on an observation that so many people with weight issues have at least one...

What we’re doing here is holding a mirror up to show the other person their emotional state. Undoubtedly it will be awkward and tense. People don’t normally behave this way. This is something that goes beyond the cultural norm. Usually we relent and allow the other person to get what they...

In today’s article what I want to teach is essentially how to block the transaction between the dumper (the person who unloads all his problems into someone else’s system ) and the dumpee (the person who receives and listens to the problems). I want to offer a strategy to interrupt this...

​ Something I've noticed over time is that if you have an emotional problem, don't tell the skinny person. The skinny person will immediately try to solve your problem! Predominantly what he's trying to do and of course it's not true in every case is, he's processing the information and processing it very fast and trying to solve it. At the same ti...

What do you hunger for? It's a good question. So many people hunger for something other than food, but they don't receive or achieve this, and so they find an acceptable substitute. Let me begin by explaining what is hidden in plain sight and share some linguistic components that I have learned about in my work with Andrew Austin. These I discuss i...

There may be timeswhen the way you're communicating with your child, may be causing a shut-down! ​So often I hear parents saying "My kids never tell me anything. They give me one word answers to my questions, roll their eyes and make it quite clear that they don't want to talk to me." Sometimes your child may be tired, hungry or out of sorts a...
