At NLP Canada Training, we believe that we can only lead change by practicing it. This year, we are changing the format and requirements for our Master Practitioner Training. We’ve introduced new material and formats to the Trainers’ Training. We’re also looking forward to launching nlpcanadacoaching.ca in the new year, a website that will provide resources for people who want to understand coaching before they commit to it. That website will include a limited-run podcast featuring coaches who have trained at NLP Canada Training.

We believe in our work and our people, and we are happy to showcase all of it. This summer, we published two new e-books in short, useful formats that you can read 5 minutes at a time. The first is called 5 Tools for a Better You and it explains how thinking of emotion and attention as tools allows you to make better choices. The second is called 5 Ideas for Better Communications. Taking just 5 minutes a day to read one idea that you can apply immediately will change the way you connect with others.

Our ebooks go first to our newsletter subscribers. They will be available this fall on our website.

Self-Development after 60

What does self-aware mean at 60 and beyond? It means being able to experience your fullest, best self at the same time that you can step back and see that self moving through unchosen transitions. Where will you live? Who will matter most to you from one day to the next? What purpose will call to you? Who will you be as you become untethered from the identities that preoccupied you while you were building a family and career? Think of all the things you wanted to do and all the things you wanted to be “if only you had time.” Think about grandparenting (not necessarily of biological grandchildren) and the role that elders play in supporting the young (probably not with advice). Think about the self that connects all the different people you have been and will be.

The risks of waiting for a better time

If it doesn’t really matter to you, don’t sweat it. Don’t put it off for a better time. Put it aside. But if you think it might matter to you, find a way to do it now. Despite its endless pressures and distractions, now is the better time.

Rolling with the punches

If you want to win the rapport game, you need to know more than how to reflect what you observe in someone else. You need to know how to reflect, gain attention, and then move to a more useful state. That more useful state needs to use the energy present in a new way and in a new direction. People learn to box and roll with the punches. They learn aikido. They can also learn to counter their intuitions and connect in difficult situations without amplifying conflict. It’s easier with a skilled teacher and lots of practice.
