Paul Johnson will be leading a
warm-up session looking at Energetic Rapport. Learn some simple techniques that
go beyond mirroring physiology in helping to create instantaneous connections.
Paul is a trained hypnotherapist and uses the techniques
in both a therapeutic context and in his work in Media Arts Development.
Phil Jones will be leading a session on the use of
Non-Violent Communication in a therapeutic, business and relationship context.
Non-Violent Communication (NVC) is sometimes referred to
as compassionate communication. Its purpose is to strengthen our ability to
inspire compassion from others and to respond compassionately to others and to
ourselves. NVC guides us to reframe how we express ourselves and hear others by
focusing our consciousness on what we are observing, feeling, needing, and
requesting. NVC was developed by clinical psychologist Marshall Rosenberg who
starting working on this approach in the 1960s.
Phil has used NVC to work with managers, individual
coaches, groups, families and his own children (!) for a number of years to
great success and is looking forward to sharing it with the Brighton NLP group
