Anchoring is a phenomenon that the founders of NLP noticed when doing modeling work with Milton Erickson. Erickson used “cues” or “triggers” to help his client change their internal states.

Anchoring is different from traditional “stimulus-response” in that the stimulus does not have to be external. Something imagined or remembered can be a trigger for an internal state or emotion.

In NLP, anchoring is used in a variety of techniques involving learning, rapport, sales, advertising and many other contexts.

In this meetup we will explore anchoring and:

Discuss the difference between conditioning (Pavlov) and anchoring
Explore deliberate, unintended and natural anchoring
Demonstrate visual, auditory and kinesthetic anchors

Is NLP childsplay?

Some people say that NLP is complicated or challenging to learn. We think that NLP is as easy to learn as childsplay.

Join us in a truly unique meetup where we talk to children who have learned NLP techniques and apply them in unique and fun ways to cope with the challenges in their lives.

The children will discuss their experiences and guide the group through their favorite technique.

With the holidays (and a struggling economy) upon us, we received many inquiries asking us how to deal with stress caused by negative feelings.

Come to our Meetup and experience a simple yet powerful technique to help you become resourceful when you are stressed and how to manage your internal thinking so you can feel better.

You'll also get a "taste" of some basic NLP that can be used in a variety of situations.

Most people use the beginning of the year to make transitional goals (New Years resolutions) to adopt changes that they already know they need. Unfortunately, by the end of January, many people lose momentum.

A more familiar (an perhaps more effective) time of year is the traditional end of summer beginning of school year when many people are starting new ventures (school, work projects, jobs, etc.). From when we are very young, we are already "anchored" into this time of year as a transitional time (and the seasons support this transition as well).

Come join us for a discussion of transition from an NLP perspective. The discussion will include:An overview of NLP
The three phases of transition
Applications of the three phases

Wouldn't it be great if you could resolve conflicts and improve your relationships? Have a conversation, instead of a confrontation?

This program covers one of the most challenging behavioral patterns. This pattern can create the perception that a person is not open to others ideas or the person being labeled a "know it all".

We'll discuss how to recognize the pattern and avoid the emotions that are triggered by this pattern. We'll also learn to utilize words that work to avoid confrontation and resolve issues more easily.
