Our ‘Theme’ for 2010 is “Unconscious Competence”
Nigel’s reports, or what he thought happened!
February: Graham Shaw
Graham is one of those trainers who “Do it to us” before telling us what he has just done. He began by focusing on getting off to a good start, by getting off to a good start. Read all about it and see pictures of his quick draw cartoons here
March: Marian Way
Marian is our ‘local’ Clean Language expert and runs Training courses and a Clean
practice group. Clean Language is great for modelling and also helps people access
deeply unconscious information so is a natural bedfellow with getting to the heart
of our theme for 2010 of ‘Unconscious Competence’.

April: Peter Taylor
Thanks to Peter for a really thought provoking evening taking our exploration of ‘unconscious competence’ into new depths of understanding and providing some really useful markers and techniques to allow us all to deepen our skills whether in NLP, sleight of mouth, playing the saxophone, developing sensory acuity, deepening rapport, improved time management or whatever you have as a goal for yourself.
Remember -
May: Nigel & Jenny Heath presenting Gavin Meikle’s session.
The whole premise of Gavin’s thought process for the evening had begun late last year when Nigel announced the ‘Theme’ for 2010. Which if you’ve forgotten is “Unconscious Competence”. Immediately Gavin wondered whether this was always a good thing and particularly bent his mind to wondering about those things we do, say or believe that may not be good for us and in some cases are downright harmful to us, but which we are very good at continuing to do.
Unfortunately Gavin succumbed to ManFlu and lost his voice so Nigel & Jenny stepped in and ran the session based on his ideas and notes.
When asked what they would like to do with the balloon with the ‘negative’ “Unconscious competence” on it, there was a short pause... Read the whole report here.
June: Dianne Lowther
Initially I thought of subtitling this “A game of two halves”. When I thought a bit more about the evening I realised the two parts were carefully connected and cleverly crafted to help us explore yet another perspective on this year’s theme. To the casual observer there were two parts. To the observant NLPer there were much more than just two. (Not counting the break, my introduction and my wrapping up).
July: Robbie Steinhouse
Gavin Says ”One of the great things I like about NLP is its inclusivity, giving us the ability to integrate other approaches and theories. Robbie and Ed outlined the basic Transactional Analysis model of the three “Ego States” Parent, Adult and Child and their associated sub states (Controlling Parent, Nurturing Parent, Adapted Child & Natural Child). After illustrating them through a couple of role plays, they suggested that it was a useful frame to help us understand how we behave in response to learning situations. Each of these states is natural and rather than fighting them, we should learn to recognise when we are in them, pace them and notice how our awareness changes them.”
