The Well Formed Outcome: The PROMISE Strategy is an article on this site. PROMISE is an acronym for our formulation of the conditions of a well formed outcome. We have found extremely useful in our work with clients to help them achieve their desired outcomes and live life more effectively…. Different authors and practitioners define the components of a well formed outcome somewhat differently, but the central premise is that you can’t get somewhere if you don’t know where you are going… The term, “well formed outcome,” was coined early in the development of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). Having a well formed outcome is typically considered a prerequisite to other change interventions. A well formed outcome is a central concept in goal setting, solution focused therapy, coaching, and just about any area where change and improvement are sought…
The acronym PROMISE is also meant to be a reminder that a well formed outcome is a commitment to change, a promise made to yourself to do what is effective to achieve your desired outcome. Having “promise” also implies the potential for future accomplishment and excellence. Go to the full article.

Review by: Rich Liotta, Ph.D.
The Rainbow Machine: Tales from a Neurolinguist’s Journal by Andrew T. Austin is a book definitely different from most books on NLP or hypnosis. This is a book of short stories and articles, many of them anecdotal, illustrating the use of various neurolinguistic techniques with humor, wit, and insight…… This book is unique and well worth reading.

Book review by: Rich Liotta, Ph.D.
Six Blind Elephants, volumes one and two, by Steve Andreas (2006) is a very worthwhile read. These books are about “scope” and “category” – and how we experience and understand ourselves, others, and our worlds. For therapists or other change agents, understanding “scope” and “category” opens up new possibilities for helping people change…..The Six Blind Elephants volumes demonstrate that Andreas continues to be one of the foremost thinkers advancing the development of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). In my estimation these volumes will have a long term impact on future direction of NLP. Indeed the concepts here can be explanatory in understanding how NLP and other therapeutic processes work. As essentially any change in emotion, response, cognition, and behavior can be examined as scope and category shifts. . . Go to the full review.

This revises the previous Enrichment Associates Consultation & Training site. We have also added this blog. Some posts will be made soon.
The purpose of our blog will be to reflect on selected aspects of personal change strategies, NLP, hypnosis, and psychotherapy. It also examines and highlights elements pertaining to the evolving art and science in these areas. We are passionate about NLP and Hypnosis as effective strategies to help people change. We have seen these methods work time and time again. In our view all people who help people change would benefit from knowledge of the NLP & Hypnosis. These disciplines have broad applicability to facilitate changes in cognition, emotion and behavior. To read more see the third column on the home page and please explore the site!
