New Book NLP at Work
3rd edition
NLP at Work 3rd Edition
Amazing - it is 13 years since I first put pen to paper for the 1st edition of NLP at Work.
And it was then pen to paper as I wrote it all by hand and it was hubby who typed it all in!
I never would have thought that it would get to a 2nd edition let alone a 3rd. Just recently I
discovered a rather browned with age piece of paper tucked into a daily reading book and it
read
to be recognised in a specific field of work with a published book
Amazing to experience how that goal has come to fruition.
It is a gift to be asked to do a new edition as my thinking moves on, the world moves on and
certainly the understanding and experience of NLP moves on. And with a new edition I have the
opportunity to embrace all of that.
So what is new? Well there are 3 new chapters—on Humour, (based on my modelling of Frank
Farrelly and his Provocative Therapy), Time, and how we represent it and how we use it,
and Clean Language/Questions, (based on the wonderful work by
David Grove and Penny Tompkins and James Lawley). And I have updated every chapter with my new
learning and insights.
I was proof reading the chapter on Humour this week and amused myself reading it!!

Fish, Sat-Navs and the Commodores

You know how it goes. You say 'some stuff' to Sue … and those eyebrows do their
thing, and already you know it's easy to know what's coming …
'How about you write an article about 'that stuff' - for the newsletter ?'
.. and having spent an amazing week at Sue's in France on the 'Intensif' (about
stepping effortlessly and inevitably into "ones" potential!) … guess what the
reply is! You've been there.
So you see my pal, and fellow NLP journeyman David Fraser, had prompted me by saying 'most
people have a book in them. It's usually a book about what they're working-on in life.
What would yours be called ? '. I didn't know that I knew without hesitation - it's
called "Pssst ! has anyone told you life's supposed to be easy ?"… Keep reading

NLP Playdays
Practice, fun, experimentation, meeting old and new friends, building and strengthening the
NLP learning community and therefore the network of inspiring leaders in the world. This is what
Kristi Thorne has achieved in the last few years with the meetings of colleagues and fellow
delegates on NLP courses. They have built on their foundation of NLP skills and really supported
and challenged each other to go further.
We are building on her experience to offer further playdays (Practice Groups) at Bix
Manor.
The first will be on December 9th
From 2pm - 5pm (to include tea/coffee and cake)
And will be facilitated by Dom and will feature sessions by some of Kristi's star
performers!
The charge for this will be £34.50 per head
Please let Olivia know if you wish to book a
place.

Transform people International
In-house Intensive
A group of people from my firm, Transform People International, recently had the opportunity
to participate in an NLP Intensive programme with Sue. It was run over 4 sessions, over the
course of 4 months. We are a bit of an unusual group because, in one way or another, we are all
facilitators ourselves and either secretly,…
…or not so secretly, crave the limelight, so it could go without saying that
"adequate" interaction was never an issue. It was an enlightening experience in many
ways.
Transform People International
Sue Knight is a deceptively organised person. While it often appeared that she was letting us
set our own course of study, it is clear in retrospect that she was behind the scenes, trimming
the sails, adjusting the rudder, gently guiding our course, many times without our even realising
it. And just as often, she let the spinnaker billow out as we hurtled toward new discoveries.
Eyes grew wide. Sometimes a few tears spilled out. By far the most dominant, though, was the
laughter and outright happiness at the joy of discovery. As a result, we sailed toward the things
that meant the most to us as a group - clean questions, metaphors, "toward and away"
thinking, matching, mismatching, language patterns, concepts of time, well-formed outcomes, our
"it," beliefs of excellence…well, read the book if you want to know more.
One of the very best parts of the experience was the way that Sue made herself available:
emotionally, intellectually--even spiritually. It felt to me like she was at once our tutor and our student.
As NLP is the study of the structure of experience, it
comes as no surprise that she was studying us all the time, finding things to model, constantly
commenting on the "interesting" nature of what we said or did.
She brought out the best
in us, and I came away feeling like we are better than I even realised.
(I can hear Sue reading that last sentence and saying
"In what way?" but that is fodder for "a whole 'nother" discussion.)
Our company culture has been changed as a result of the sessions with Sue. Whereas we already
had our own language around behavior, attitudes and values, we now "NLP"
each other, knowingly, with glee, as if to say without words,
"Look at us! We are taking this on board! It works! How cool is that?" I believe it has
made us recognise the good intentions we all hold for each other. NLP has made us better, and
will for years. After all, it is a journey. We sail on.

3—Purpose of photo :
1—To tell you that the arrived me.
2—To send three messages :
Message No. one : “special to Sudanese youth”
(money is not any things just use your positive thinking to get all your needs)

message No. two : “for all”
(for arrive to the mountain's top successfully, use your internal emotion power)
message No. three : “to all managers”
(If you looking for way to become best leader of your staff, use "NLP at work")
That why am showing the book for
This is short explaining for photo and I decide to make short film using my field photos to
tell about our adventure to arrive our target children and suffering to keep
the hero of future.
Finally if I want write my life story in the end of my age the will
addressed by “My photo background” explain in it how it was difficult
for me to learn and win successfully in my life experiment .

Sue Knight International Training/Consulting team
This team has been building for some time and this year I have taken more overt steps to
strengthen the team internationally and in the UK. We now have a powerful network of
trainers/consultants capable of working to the Sue Knight brand.
India - Ashok and Arul Subramanian running their own programmes and hosting and supporting me
on the Intensives that I run in India in June and December through to February.
Portugal - Craig Goldblatt - hosting and supporting me in an area of the world that his very
close to his heart and home to his family. This October I am running a coaching based Intensive
programme in Lagos
Egypt - I have the honour to support Iraqi Ali Shakir for a programme in Egypt - dates for
2010 to be announced shortly.
There is huge significance to the cultures to which we are choosing to connect. India is the
emerging country in the world for so many reasons, Where we will be working in Portugal is close
to where Madeleine McCann was abducted and need I say more about the importance of us learning to
bridge the cultures between East and West in us working with Ali born in Iraq.
I believe we can jointly bring a new and revitalised energy to all the places in which we can
work just as we can draw from them.
Dominic Keohane
And last but not least in the UK - Dominic Keohane (Dom) is really stepping up and becoming
the lead trainer along with me and instead of me in some instances. He has apprenticed with me
for years since doing the distance learning programme and I love the support and inspiration he
brings and his commitment and dedication to the Sue Knight brand.
Welcome fully on board Dom!
