    NLP Marketing, Couples Coaching Ground Rules, NHS Crisis & Handling Addictions | Live Q&A with Steve & Tina

    Steve and Tina host a live monthly Q&A on Facebook, discussing how current economic and NHS pressures create opportunities for coaches to adapt and help more people. They answer questions on setting ground rules with couples (listening, coaching neutrality, and an exercise to reconnect partners to early attraction), avoiding imposing personal beliefs, and using personal metaphors in marketing while remembering audiences care about themselves. They compare organic vs paid marketing, emphasizing experimentation, warming cold audiences, and tracking acquisition cost and ROI, and suggest focusing locally. They address safeguarding and record-keeping when clients mention suicidal thoughts and how to respond when people can’t afford help, including signposting, pro bono limits, and group wellbeing sessions. They touch on learning meta programs through observation, working with addiction only when clients truly want change, and crafting an elevator pitch that sparks curiosity and conversation.

    NLP & Hypnosis Q&A: Anchoring on Zoom, Selling Without Objections, and What’s Next

    In this Facebook Live Q&A, Steve and Tina discuss rapid change in the world and share updates on their current NLP Practitioner training, upcoming Meta-Model work, and a Master Practitioner starting at the end of November. They answer questions on how to collapse anchors in a Zoom setting using visual and auditory cues, and compare virtual vs in-person work, including ideomotor responses, client comfort, flexibility, and fewer cancellations. They address persuasion and pricing objections, emphasizing that “five-star clients” should be filtered and pre-qualified before calls so money concerns are handled early. They explain how they structure coaching programs and payments, reflect on what excites them about their work, and describe using submodalities and future pacing in negotiation. They also recommend learning hypnosis through listening, reading (including Hammond’s book), voice craft, and music/binaural beats, and mention expanding content to YouTube/LinkedIn and promoting a free NLP Masters Summit.

    Live Q&A: NLP Training Tasters, Zoom Inclusion, Stroke Recovery & Anxiety Tools

    A live-streamed Q&A features the host on holiday in Scotland with team member Tanya Bunting, who reports on Steve being in London with Paul McKenna and Alessandro Moira running a “Change Your Life in Seven Days” seminar and successfully including virtual Zoom attendees. They answer questions about marketing an NLP Practitioner course, recommending longer tasters than one hour, charging rather than offering free intros, tailoring content to the audience (especially businesspeople), and “over-delivering” to create customer astonishment. They discuss supporting stroke recovery with positive language and daily 7-11 breathing, troubleshooting when breathing “causes anxiety,” and addressing panic/fight-or-flight through regular practice. Other topics include working with children via storytelling and NLP techniques, exploring secondary gain in symptoms, being appropriately authoritative with clients, and handling dissociation and trauma, including concerns about reassociation, swish patterns, and timeline-style approaches.

They also announce a September 22 masterclass led by Tina on using hypnosis and NLP to support fertility and infertility, sharing IVF experiences and a case where relaxation led to natural conception. In Q&A, they advise on working with someone who escaped a cult by clarifying outcomes and addressing beliefs, assess stop-smoking readiness through language and commitment, recommend simplifying admin with templates and basic processes ahead of economic uncertainty, explain how to anchor effectively on Zoom, caution against removing pain signals for osteoarthritis while using visualization and safe adjustments, and outline approaches to tics/Tourette’s by reducing stress and building conscious control.

    Nested Loops, Edutainment & Scaling Your Practice (Plus Hypnotic Fertility Masterclass)

    Two hosts reconnect after technical issues, with Tina joining from Florida during an NLP trainers’ training with Richard Bandler and team, where participants are practicing nested loops and anchoring. They discuss how nested loops and metaphors embed learning, share examples from Eddie Izzard and Bandler’s teaching style, and suggest a future masterclass on the topic. Tina previews an upcoming masterclass on hypnotic fertility, sharing a past case and her strategy for supporting unexplained fertility and medical interventions, with dates to be confirmed around 22 September. They promote newsletters, trainings, the Secret Agents of Change membership (monthly skills and business sessions, recordings, CPD points), and an affiliate program opening 1 August. Q&A covers making presentations fun via “edutainment,” scaling with group coaching and clear economics, pricing without mind-reading demographics, managing incongruent client goals in affairs/addictions through deeper diagnostics, and approaches to parenting change work.

    Reframing Mastery Practice Group: Suggestion in Trance, Limiting Beliefs & Humorous Reframes (Steve Crabb & Tina Taylor)

    Steve Crabb and Tina Taylor host a live practice group focused on reframing mastery, beginning with global attendee check-ins and Steve’s upcoming trip to Crete amid an earthquake and tsunami warning used as a warm-up reframe. Steve asks, “What is the purpose of suggestion in trance?” and frames it as bypassing conscious limitations to evoke potential and create better mental maps, citing Erickson’s view of suggestibility as receiving impulses and the mind’s idio-plastic ability to change. He guides an ecological reframing exercise: identify a limiting belief, trace its origins and positive intention, uncover secondary gains, consider future costs, and generate alternative perspectives and options (requisite variety). Tina then teaches reframing with humor and respectful teasing, shares examples (including charging for “tea and biscuits,” smoking/weight-loss reframes, and a spider phobia breakthrough), and participants practice in small groups, reporting insights and shifts afterward.

    Live Q&A: Supporting LGBTQ+ Clients, Marketing Your Change Work, Networking ROI, Hypnobirthing vs Painless Childbirth & Phobia Breakthroughs

    Steve and Tina host a live-streamed Q&A and share updates from their day-to-day lives before answering emailed questions, mainly from their Secret Agents Change membership. The month’s theme is relationships and gender, based on an interview Tina held with Gloria Hammett and trans woman Dr. Wendy Peters about how NLP coaches and hypnotherapists can best support trans and LGBTQ+ clients, emphasizing confidence, self-esteem, handling bullying, and avoiding imposing the practitioner’s map while listening for modal operators and influences from family and peers. They discuss young people identifying as trans, the possibility of body dysmorphia in some cases, and the importance of sticking to NLP change processes, well-formed outcomes, and ecology checks. They address marketing and referrals: many people don’t understand NLP/hypnosis and may avoid “mental health” language due to stigma, so practitioners should focus messaging on client benefits, demonstrate change work rather than explain it, and double down on what already produces referrals. They answer a case-related question about supporting a Muslim client navigating cultural identity, arranged marriage/divorce, and relationship expectations, again highlighting process-based coaching, clean questioning, logical levels, and ecology. Steve shares mixed experiences with formal paid networking groups—some low return and overly sales-driven, others collaborative and effective—stressing the value of presenting and giving audiences a “wow” demo, including a standout LinkedIn entrepreneurs event that led to significant work and a Sky TV opportunity. Tina answers questions about her painless childbirth work, noting her book is now available in French, differentiating her NLP/hypnotherapy-based approach from the Hypnobirthing franchise’s scripted model, and explaining how she positions her offer. They also discuss transitioning from employment to self-employment, exploring security values, readiness, and business skills, with Tina sharing how she left a banking role and scaled rates. Finally, they cover a claustrophobia case where progress is made but the young client isn’t following instructions, linking resistance to secondary gain and missed ecology issues, and preview a fears/phobias demo in an upcoming practitioner training. They close by promoting upcoming trainings and a three-day Business Alchemy event in Glastonbury with planned activities at Chalice Well.

    From Helplessness to Healing: Strategies for Effective Coaching

    Steve and Tina go live to answer audience questions about coaching, therapy, and building a practice. They discuss giving clients “hope” as a way to create a crack in learned helplessness, focusing less on semantics and more on getting clients curious, playful, and willing to try something different, including occasional provocative approaches. They share examples of rapid change work, including a client who stopped drinking after a session, and how stage fright can be addressed using anchors, submodalities, and deep trance identification (DTI), with stories involving rock musicians and actors. They explain handling clients who bring a long list of issues by prioritizing, looking for connected root issues, and aiming for quick wins while setting realistic expectations about session length. Business and marketing topics include generating more inquiries through structured referral strategies, using a collaborative sales conversation process to prevent end-of-call objections (including ensuring decision-makers are present), and challenges of selling workplace wellbeing services in the UK, emphasizing ROI and supporting mental health first aiders/champions. They also cover working with children’s limited diets by training parents, and hoarding by identifying counterexamples and strategies without starting with home visits. The episode closes with updates on upcoming books, travel and trainings, a Mindvalley hypnosis course recording in Estonia, a webinar on hypnotic anesthesia from Italy, and invitations to a July Business Alchemy retreat in Glastonbury and an upcoming London practitioner training.

  18. Episode 10 - Wellformed Outcomes | Imposter Syndrome | NLP, NHR and DHE Comparison

    Episode 10

    Show notes

    Welcome to the NLP MasterClass podcast, episode 10.

    In this episode, we're exploring three powerful themes that emerged from a recent NLP MasterCLASS Practice Group Q&A session.

    First, we'll dive into well-formed outcomes - the four essential conditions that create lasting change. We'll look at how stating goals positively, having the right resources, making outcomes testable through all senses, and ensuring ecological alignment work together to transform our clients' results.

    Next, we'll tackle the increasingly common challenge of imposter syndrome, especially relevant since the shift to online work. You'll hear a personal story from my visit to Michael Neal's house that changed my perspective on launching programs, and we'll explore how to transform self-doubt from a barrier into a catalyst for growth.

    Finally, we'll break down the synergy between three powerful methodologies: NLP, NHR, and DHE. I'll share my unique "Venn diagram" approach to combining these methods for maximum impact in your practice.

    We'll also explore some fascinating case studies, including one where well-formed outcome conditions revealed crucial insights that completely shifted the direction of therapy. So whether you're an NLP practitioner, coach, therapist, or change work professional, this episode will give you practical tools to enhance your practice and create more powerful results for your clients.

    Title: Looking at things from another’s perspective

    By using perceptual positioning you can explore an event from a different perspective, this process enables you to step back from your own mental map and get a distance from any emotions attached to it. You can also use it to explore another’s map, gaining an insight into their thought processes. When you use the third position you can review a meeting/situation to gain insight into what happened, looking at it as onlooker. This is also a great position for becoming your own coach.

    If I asked you to imagine a dog, just there in front of you. What kind of dog do you see? What colour is it? Can you see if from the front, back, side? Is it all one colour? Does it have any distinguishing marks? How clearly can you see it?

    Some people will see the dog perfectly, it will be clear and they will notice the colour, size and everything about the pouch. Others will have a very poor image and others will say they can’t see it. They will say no matter how hard they try they just can’t imagine it; they can’t see it!

    In this podcast Tina discusses Visualisation and give exercises to help improve your ability to visualise as well as increase your IQ.
