關於學習

今天我的一位 NLP 學生 W 跟我閒聊問我當年為何能夠從課堂中 pick up 和吸收到這麼多的東西 (when most of them are getting quite confused at the moment!) ,因為她發覺在我的 training 裡我用上了很多 Dr. Tad James 在課堂上所教所做的東西。作為 participant 當年我著眼的是學習怎樣做一個出色的 trainer (what) 今次作為老師的其中一位 coaching assistant (by the way 我這三星期的工作是 volunteer ), 我要學的是他為何 (why) 和如何 (how) train 一班出色的 trainer Focus 不同,縱然是同一個課程,但所學到的卻完全不一樣。若果真正用心學習的話,就一定可以從任何經歷中學習到一些東西。即使可能未能即時受用都一定唔會嘥!!! 相信我,做人千祈唔好怕蝕底,有人比機會我地去學嘢,一定要好好把握。  You never know!
還有,正所謂學海無涯,人是應該不斷的自我提升而不是固步自封。當你覺得自己好像很舒服、順暢、安逸的時候,那可能就是醒覺需要再進一步之時矣。
世界只有 1% 的人能得到真正的成功你會是其中一個嗎?

My NLP journey at the desert

Oops, looking back it has been a while since my last blog.  Been hectically busy lately with NLP and other training engagements in July and in getting ready for my annual study trip.  As many of my dear bloggers recall, my last year’s study trip was going to Beijing to pick up my Putonghua last August.  I am grateful to say I have been doing quite a lot of training engagements ever since where they required me making delivery in Putonghua both in HK and major cities in China.  I can see more of these engagements are coming.  Results are always the outcome from where your mind goes and your energy flows…that’s a fundamental NLP belief that is highly sensible and empowering.
For this year, the location is Las Vegas!  A big career decision was made for me to go for a higher level of qualification in NLP…to become a NLP master trainer.  It is a process that comes naturally to my profession after the years I have trained and graduated hundreds of NLPers.  Since I qualified as a certified NLP trainer in 2004, I have been running NLP practitioner and master practitioner certification programmes.  Many of my graduates want me to run the very next level of NLP training for them, i.e. NLP trainers’ training programme so they are able to attain one of the most prestigious qualifications you can get both in NLP and in the training field.  I also think it is about time…
So here I am, taking the master trainer programme here in Las Vegas with the world biggest NLP certification body, American Board of NLP.  We are on our 2nd day of training and it is highly rewarding so far.  It is good to have 3 of my NLP master practitioners coming along as candidates for NLP trainers.  What’s even more promising is I am eye-witnessing how great and performing my NLP graduates are as they mingle and share their learning experience with other candidates from different countries like US, Canada, England, South Africa, Korea, etc.  As their trainer, what more can I ask for (真係夫復何求)?
And of course, it is always good to see and learn from my two dear master trainers, Drs. Tad and Adriana James!  Will see how this journey will turn out!!! I am sure it is going to be great!!!

Lost in LA

一口氣寫兩篇 blog, 只因為有太多東西想 share !
Las Vegas 上堂之前先去了 Los Angeles  Las Vegas 大道 (i.e. The Strip) 玩了幾日順道探探好朋友 S
跟大家分享一些有趣軼事及加州陽光吖!


有無見過這樣的一個 McD 招牌呢? 它是麥當勞前身 Airdrome Monrovia, California的原址 (in 1937) 。咁啱我所住の hotel剛在隔籬,早上去吃早餐才發現!
 


真係好多年都未試過去沙灘除鞋濕腳玩水呢! (雖然沒有游水嘩,啲水好凍呀!) 但在加州陽光和咁靚的沙灘下 (Santa Monica Beach) 真係無得抗拒! :>  晚上還跟好朋友 S 和她的 family picnic !  This is really “living” !!!  enjoy!!!



Las Vegas 其中一個節目就是睇 show !  一個是 David Cooperfield、另一個是 stage hypnosis show by Marc Savard!  Wow, when a hypnotherapist meets a stage hypnotist!!! 接招!


幾年沒來 Las Vegas, the ever famous “The Strip” (i.e. Las Vegas Blvd) 金光燦爛、紙醉如昔。It was just like yesterday…like ever! (不過真係「好」熱!!! 每次一出室外,那股熱風讓你彷似站在冷氣機 generator旁邊一樣!!!  好彩是乾熱 (vs. 香港の濕熱)
