NLP

[Daniel E.]

At the moment my focus with it is on the business side because I know that it can be applied to business, but I am also very interested in using it to deal with people like my parents and other related people who tend to think they know it all.

BTW, regarding marketing/business and social psychology:

Actually, I took the NLP practitioner course and hold the Practitioner Certificate. However, I never did the hypnosis courses. I found NLP to be very helpful to me. It's helped me reconstruct my thinking...and that's pretty much the idea -- to help people change their cognitive thoughts and help them focus on goals. I also found it to be very theraputic...albeit a bit uncomfortable..which is understandable.

Where did you take your NLP courses from and do you know of any good resources on the internet that I go to so that I can improve my skills with it?

You can google "NLP" or "NLP training" and will probably find few resources in your area. In Toronto, I took a course with NLP Canada Training Inc.
