So how are the New Years Resolutions going…

Was your resolution about success in sport, business, learning or just plain success? I expect it was in the back the English cricket team member’s mind.

Success in Sport
There is a saying in business – ‘work smarter not harder’. May be the reason for the teams low performance is that they are trying too hard. Just look at how many are suffering injuries.

So how can you become a success in sport without hours and hours of practice ‘in the nets’? Experiments have shown that visualization can be every effective. Teams who did about half of their practice as visualization did just as well as those who did it all as a practical. So what’s the payoff? Less injuries and fresher performance.

Another advantage of visualization is that the player can understand much more about the opponents’ game thus model the counter play effectively.

Success in Business
Is NLP and hypnotherapy as a coaching and success generator applicable to sport only? Well no! Business is one of the biggest users. It can apply it to negotiations, personnel handling, product development, career development etc.

When I trained to be a Master Practitioner in NLP (with Richard Bandler and Paul McKenna), many of my fellow learners were business people. This at first confused me because my understanding of NLP was as a therapeutic tool. However, when I discussed its applications to business with them it made sense. Success is as much about self belief and self understanding as about business skills. Within NLP and hypnosis are so many tools to develop yourself, to become a success.
Success in Education
Education is one of the most important foundations that any person can have.

In the latter part of the 20th century there were great advances in education. The works by Tony Buzan, Colin Rose and others, have shown that if the individuals learning styles and abilities are used it can help a student with gaining and retaining information far more effectively that traditional methods. I have personally used the tools of NLP, hypnosis and modern study skills to aide clients to excel.
