I (Rich) am excited that I will be presenting some of my recent work at the Canadian Association of NLP (CANLP) in early October (Rosemary and I will both be presenting at IASH this fall, an article will be posted soon).

The theme of the CANLP three day conference is “Brilliant Success through NLP.” The conference is being held in Montreal, October 1-3. The Canadian Association of NLP is a national association that is dedicated to stimulate and encourage the promotion and development of the worldwide practice of NLP. CANLP has a tradition of offering quality annual conferences, bringing in leaders in the field of NLP. To read more about the conference and CANLP go click here.

I will be presenting on a topic I have written about on change-paths-blog. The article that presents some of my ideas, in their early form is here.

My topic is:

Enhancing 4 Practices Vital to Achieving Abundance in Your Life

A sense of abundance is remarkably useful in helping you get what you want in your life. It is our premise that four general practices are vital to achieving abundance: reflection, appreciation, creation, and action. This presentation will show participants how a few basic NLP and Neuro-Semantic processes can help you achieve abundance in your life by enhancing the practices of reflecting, appreciating, creating, and taking action. Exercises designed to enhance these practices will be facilitated. For example exercises will provide strategies to help personal reflection to be more productive; intensify appreciation and gratitude, activate creation, and bolster their desire to take action.

The presentation will begin with an introduction to the model; how the practices of reflection, appreciation, creation, and action interact generatively to enhance abundance. Then attention will be given to each component. Some issues that will be addressed along the way include: how reflection is important to counter automatic patterns of thought and behaviour; that how we reflect on things matters; how appreciation, in all its facets, can energize us and set the stage for creation and action; how creation or the act of creating, within ourselves and in the world, increases momentum; and how action is ultimately the bridge between our inner state and achieving abundant outcomes in our lives.

So check out the CANLP site and perhaps I will see you at the conference!
