NEURO-SEMANTICS— DESIGNED FOR HIGH QUALITY LIVING

Given that Neuro-Semantics is centrally focused on enabling people to live high quality lives, the question rises, What is a high quality life? Is it the same thing as “living the American Dream?” Is it the same thing as being “happy?” Is it the same thing as being “successful” in terms of career, money, reputation, etc.?

The short answer is no. Now certainly the quality of your life is strongly influenced by such external things as career, money, reputation, friends, loved ones, security, etc. “Strongly influenced,” but not dependent on them. All things being equal, it is good to learn how to be successful in love and in work since personal relationships and satisfying work are external signs of a high quality life. These things can definitely raise the quality of life. Yet, paradoxically, living a high quality life is not dependent upon these things. There are people who, lacking such, are still able to live a high quality life. They live a high quality life before they are able to manifest it in these externals. So, what do they have that makes the difference?

Most essentially, a high quality life springs from an inside-out orientation. First comes your personal growth and development on the inside, then comes all of the external expressions. That is why, in Neuro-Semantics, we have put a strong emphasis on the inside-out approach. There are books and training manuals on Inside-Out Wealth, Inside-Out Persuasion, and the same applies to selling, resilience, motivation, inspiration, leadership, management, health, and on and on.

Is this self-development? Sure, it is the process of developing the best version of you— to fully grow up and mature and live wisely as well as intelligently. That’s why we start with Neuro- Linguistic Programming to get your communications cleaned up and effective. After all, how you communicate to you functions as the heart of the meanings you create, the strategies you develop, and the skills you cultivate. First you’ve got to learn to run your own brain so that you can manage your own states. When you achieve that level of self-management and then self- leadership, you’re ready to take on the world. That’s the design of the NLP Practitioner course.

That’s also why we have added Meta-States to the basic trainings. As an inside-out being, the states you create about your states determine your inner frames which, in turn, govern your mind- body system. Yet this is an area that’s mostly outside-of-conscious awareness. And this takes self-development to a whole new level. Here you develop a higher level of awareness— a mindfulness about yourself that allows you to begin to be the Executive of Yourself. That’s what APG (Accessing Personal Genius), Winning the Inner Game, Executive Thinking and Executive Decisions is designed to achieve.

That’s why we have added the Self-Actualization Psychology Diploma to our basic trainings. There is an inner structure to how you find what is a potential in you and unleash it (Unleashed!). And once you understand the unleashing or actualizing processes, then there’s the high quality living that inherently involved in self-actualizing. High quality living comes from actualizing your vitality, your creativity, and your leadership (the first four modules of the Self-Actualization trainings). Then there’s actualizing your authenticity, persuasiveness, productivity, collaborative leadership, resilience, etc.

In addition, we have designed the Meta-Coach trainings to complement all of this. Using the methodology of compassionate challenging (which is the essence of coaching), we have designed multiple coaching conversations for both self-coaching and coaching others. Here the psychology of Self-Actualization guides the Meta-Coach since this is not about therapy, but about challenging a person to stretch out of one’s comfort zone and step up to one’s next level of growth. The very process is the process of facilitating high quality living.

Now how you will experience your own personalize high quality living will be unique to you. In fact, all of the trainings that we provide in Neuro-Semantics is designed so that you become the interior decorator of your own high quality life. No one else can tell you what you should do, it’s up to you. Our focus is on providing the models and tools for you to competently use as you develop your own high quality living.
