Chris Keeler and Linda Ferguson, NLP Canada Training Inc.

We check our work in NLP by asking “what do you notice that is different now?”

When we asked a group of master practitioners what they thought the object of the practitioner course was, they told us  participants are seeking to recognize the best in themselves and others. NLP practitioners become more acutely aware of what they themselves are experiencing and balance that with a more precise appreciation for other points of view. They practice opening themselves to hope – to dozens of little experiences in which making a difference leads to a new sense of strength or possibility. They learn, through both repetition and emotional significance, that making new connections generates new possibilities.

The two days of the HOPE symposium offer multiple perspectives on how to generate and maintain a sense that good things are possible.  While hope is not a strategy, it can generate the dozens of practical choices that lead to good results.  As we look back on two days of speakers sharing widely diverse experiences and viewpoints, we notice that every time we connect with someone else’s vision, we open new possibilities in the way we look at our own lives and work.

Linda and Chris will close the symposium by asking the question “how have the connections you have made this weekend changed what you will see and hear and feel as you step back into the world tomorrow morning?”
