The Results Certificate course lectured by Mr. Peter Shaw from Mr Chris Howard’s Team was a profound discovery and journey to understand a human’s thinking system, enabling me to know myself and others better.
I am so relieved to see myself to be able to complete the course in a challenging physical condition that almost drove me to postpone it at last minute. Luckily I didn’t.
Being a master coach and experienced Neurological and linguistic Program instruct, Peter created an atmosphere full of laughter and amusement. We were engaged in a dynamic, interactive course for five days from 9am to 9pm. What is the most impressive thing was he used his personal development and achievement to prove that men can control their own life and destiny successfully by properly, smartly application of NLP theory.
During the most intensive course I’ve never had in my life, we were bombarded with new ideas and thoughts. What we heard most was Peter’s golden motto: Life is EASY (if we know how.) He seemed to have gone a short cut by doing lest and gaining fairly well results in his school life. But this didn’t work until he went to university and society. However he still pursued his motto - life is easy until he found NLP. He tried his best to integrate real life cases with NLP theories and made the application as comprehensive and practical as possible.
In Chapter 2 about Reading and leading People, we learnt how to create Rapport and control the situation towards our goal by using sensory Acuity, eye pattern and indicators of rapport and how to use it to match or mirror other’s body language and thus building a good rapport for better communication.
In Chapter 3 about Neurological Repatterning, we learned how to change unwanted like to dislike by using Response Repatterning, in which we leant that by changing submodalities, our unconscious mind can turn like to dislike instantly; by using momentum patterns, a unwanted behavior can be replaced by a desired behavior; Belief change by using no longer existing belief to replace unwanted belief and using universal belief to instill the new belief; The most striking method to me is the Parts Integration, in which self integrating conflicts can be resolved, melted together to reach an ultimate wholeness - a single stronger drive for goal achievement.
In the Chapter 4 about Communication Mastery, we realized why misunderstanding and problematic communication is often caused and how to avoid it. Clarifying, reframing and hypnotic language patterns plus metaphorical stories are so powerful that unwanted thinking system can be changed by self discovery organically.
In Section 5/7, we’ve learnt that emotion no matter if it is positive and negative, can be created and destroyed by resource kinesthetic anchors. So we must be very cautious about our emotion anchors building. The more are the positive anchors, the happier is life. We can also deliberately destroy negative states and build positive states (procrastination to motivation, fear to confidence by collapse anchors or neural bridge.)
IN section 6, we learnt how to use eye pattern and conversational elicitation to find out a person’s strategies behind a behavior. Installation of successful strategies to our brain will enable us to replicate desired behaviors so as to bring a better result in our life - to fulfill a new strategy like love strategy, learning strategy or sales/leadership strategies. One of the most magic tools is to interrupt or scramble a bad strategy unconsciously and to ensure problems or old behavior will not reoccur.
In Chapert 8, by going back to our unconscious mind before a negative emotion or decisions occurs, we can rise higher to see our problems from a different angle and find how insignificant it is. And it is a process to learn some lessons from our mistakes. Then we encode the positive learning and saturate it to all of our cells , expelling negative belief/decisions/states out of our mind.
By understanding the mind’s time stream, we can adjust our time stream to suit the required time schedules and improve relationship and efficiency. Or by programming our time stream, we can make our life a bit easier as we know how to be in time and how to be through time.
The most magic part is Hypnotic Change Work in section 9. It is the first time I was be hypnotized by Peter and even my classmates as well. I just can’t believe it when my head was blank and empty for some minutes. That has never happen in my Yoga medication sections or other courses. Of course I still wondering why Peter could order someone to sleep and instantly they fell into unconscious state. During this state he installed messages to each and they performed exactly what he instructed after awaking. And the process was reversed so as to delete the instructions unconsciously in the classmates’ mind by Peter later.
In Chapter 1, we tried to use visualization and hypnosis to create our realistic plan and live it in our real life to produce results.
Combining with love of fun and humor and whatever it takes approach to change with the most advanced tools for producing results in life, Peter has delivered us a message that Future is not what it is used to be. To learn how to think out of the box is the core of the course.
Mr Peter Shaw’s last words will be lingering in my mind:
Please remember that this result certificate will be only verified if results are produced. I look forward to hearing of your results.
