Presenting at the IASH USA conference day 1

Yesterday was the first presentation of two slots for the IASH conference in the USA. The challenge for me was to condense the PCW material down into a 90 minute slot and I reckon I did a pretty good job, with 4 demos and also getting the group to practice a PT exercise. This was the first ever presentation in the USA, so I was curious to see how it would go!

It was a packed room and kind of strange to have people videoing me and a bunch of folks with laptops taking notes! I am impressed with the IASH presenters and certainly am getting great feedback about the PCW approach! There are a lot of major names in NLP here, including Robert Dilts and Steve Andreas and its useful to remember that there are trainings and perspectives in NLP from across the globe and not just with Bandler and Grinder. Its also been fascinating to meet a number of people who knew RB before NLP and who were there from the absolute start of he field. There are lots of myths about the origins of NLP and so its great to hear from those who were there rather than just a single version of events!

Today I have a day off and tomorrow I'm presenting on NLP and PT. I have already been ashed about trainings in the USA, so as with all things, we'll see, but on current evidence that idea appeals, especially when its such great weather!
