- A simple cure for jet
lag |
|
Do you suffer from jet
lag when you fly back,
say from the US? I
have just  returned
from Santa Fe, New
Mexico, after a
horrendous flight delay
at Denver Airport and
thought about sharing
this tip. I travel
to the US several times
a year and on my return
can function almost
immediately. So I
didn’t think much of
it until a friend, who
is the CEO of a major
hospital, mentioned
about it during a recent
Chinese New Year
get-together lunch of
old friends. He
makes it a point to
arrive at the Changi
International Airport in
the morning, goes
straight to his office
and after a quick shower
starts working the whole
day and often right into
the night. (Yes,
this friend is a known
workaholic - that’s
why he’s a CEO and
still single). No
jet lag at all.
Judging from the
incredulous faces around
us, I thought more
people need to know
about this simple
technique.
The
technique is this.
As you enter the plane
that’ll bring you back
home and begin to settle
in the seat, adjust your
watch to reflect
Singapore time, close
your eyes, imagine you
are already back home
and blur the memory of
the last few hours in
the foreign city.
Get into a warm fuzzy
feeling and preferably
proceed to sleep.
When you reach Singapore
your body would have
adjusted to the
deception that your mind
as played on it.
All for the better.
After all, time really
doesn’t exist
(according to quantum
physics) and is all in
the mind.

- Who is Bill
O’Hanlon ? |
|
Any NLP’er worth his
salt knows who Bill
O’Hanlon is.
Last week, I had the
privilege of spending 5
days with the former
only live-in
gardener/student of
Milton Erickson at his
hometown, Santa Fe.
Although he has moved on
from NLP (that’s
another story) to Brief
and Solution Focused
therapies, his early
books are a must read
for anyone who wants to
master the NLP language
patterns. Readers
who are interested can
write to me for a list
of the books I
recommend.
A
superb teacher and
prolific writer (having
written more than 20
books) his primary
strength is in
simplifying complex
issues. This makes
him the most lucid of
all the Ericksonian
teachers I have had the
privilege of meeting.
Bill is a teacher and
practitioner worth
modelling after.
Here is a piece of good
news - Bill is coming to
Singapore in November to
conduct a workshop
Trauma without Drama.

- What is Competence? |
|
This newsletter is about
improving competence.
What is Competence? I
have frequently been
asked.
Briefly,
there are 3 aspects of
competence.. I
will pose a series of
questions to enable you
to judge for yourself
your own state of
competence:
a.
Managing one’s
self
-
Do
you truly like
yourself?
-
Are
you comfortable
being yourself?
-
Can
you manage your own
emotions and
feelings?
-
How
well do you look
after your health
and well-being?
-
How
do you sharpen your
own potential?
b.
Managing your
relationship with other
people
-
Are
there many people
who consider you a
friend?
-
Do
you like people?
-
Do
you interact with
the same type or
genre of people like
you?
-
Do
you work best alone
or with others?
c.
Managing your
relationship with things
and tasks.
-
Do
you easily keep
time?
-
Do
you start and
complete projects
easily or with
difficulty?
-
Are
you good with
machinery or tools?
-
Do
you plan your work
and work your plan?
We
all can improve some
aspects of our
competence. The
important thing is to do
something different.
Might as well be now.

| Why
take your NLP
Certification Training
with Competence
Strategies
International?
Here are at least 3
reasons: |
You
will be trained and certifie d
by at least 2 International
Certified NLP Trainers.
Your certificate will bear the
signatures of these 2 trainers -
as recommended by the UK
Association of NLP and practiced
by most major NLP Institutes in
US, UK and Europe.
You
will be exposed to the latest
NLP techniques developed by NLP
pioneers, which trainers of
Competence Strategies
International are associated
with - Neuro-Energetics, NLP
University, NLP Comprehensive,
NLP Academy (UK), John Grinder,
Carmen Bostic, the Ericksonian
Foundation, etc.
You
will learn beyond the “normal
NLP syllabus” with topics like
the Money Clinic™ developed by
Tim and Kris Halbom (NLP of
California) available as a
separate workshop only in major
western cities like San
Francisco, London, Sydney etc.
In
short, training with us is not
just about getting a recognised
certification (that’s a given)
but really about acquisition of
real life and usable skills of
excellence. Those were the
objectives of the original NLP
developers.
