Marcus Tullius Cicero; January 3, 106 BC – December 7, 43 BC, is widely considered one of Rome’s greatest orators and prose stylists. Using his talents he earned his way to be elected consul, the highest ranking office in Roman Republic. At the end of his life, he became an enemy of Mark Antony, attacking him in a series of speeches. Marc Antony (through the Second Triumvirate) had Cicero declared an enemy of the state and subsequently killed in 43 BC. His head and hands were cut off and nailed on the Rostra in the Forum Romanum, where orators spoke.

Did you know that we use about six metaphors per minute in the English language? Are you aware that our unconscious mind thinks and responds best to symbolic language i.e. metaphors? Did you know that all learning and change occurs at the unconscious level? A metaphor is a story told with a purpose which allows us to bypass conscious resistance in order to make connections at a deeper level. By telling stories you engage the other person’s curiosity and thereby create the opportunity for direct dialogue with their unconscious mind.

Criticism is a fact of life. No matter what you do people will, at some stage, have there opinions about it and feel the need to voice it in a way that doesn't always seem positive. Some people tell you to ignore criticism, others say it's an opportunity to grow and learn...just what is the best approach to dealing with it? Well, in my opinion, both of the above suggestions can be useful. Sometimes criticism can be to put it bluntly, completely inaccurate and useless and other times it can highlight useful information and insights that can help you develop as a person.

Make no mistake about it: your mind is like a fertile field. If you feed it with the seeds of Power, Wisdom, Knowledge and Skills, it will reap you a huge harvest of success. But if you feed it the Poison of Negativity, Apathy, Cynisim and Fear, you reap the worthless weeds of failure and lukewarm mediocrity. Does that make sense? Protecting and Empowering Your Mind Field is VITALLY important, yet easily overlooked because Most Mental Attacks Are SUBCONSCIOUS, Multi-Layered, and Indirect. They are also DISGUISED as "common sense" and "reality."

The news is bad. Few are the days when any positive announcements are made. Job losses are announced by the thousands in many countries.

As we enter a New Year it is customary and valuable to reflect on where you have been and on where you are going. It is time consider what you want improved in your life, what you want to be different, and what you wish to change. In that spirit many of us make New Year’s resolutions. But the word "resolution" has some unconscious implications that may not be helpful in actually realizing change. In my view "re-solutioning" is a more useful term to direct you toward a useful path for change. I’ll discuss the reasons for this in this article.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is an approach to understanding human behavior and experience through the study of the brain. Over the last thirty years, NLP Practitioners have been exploring the practical links between psychological and neurological research and human behavior. They have defined a range of tools, and approaches which allow them to create 'models' of how things 'might' work. NLP practitioner certification program was first created in the early seventies by

A long time ago, yes I know this sounds like a fairy tale, I wrote down a whole bunch of dreams. One in particular came true many years later, much to my surprise.

How to Train Your Unconscious Mind Did you know that you’re sitting on a well of power over 30 times greater than your conscious mind? Well, that’s your unconscious and it’s there to stay. You see, there’s a good reason why the rich are rich and the famous are famous, and it’s not because they’re smarter than you.

We were having friends over for dinner again. The lovely aroma of food and sound of the wok clanging was like a cacophony of sounds I was used to. Mum was the ultimate entertainer. She loved to cook and did it effortlessly. It was very usual for our family to have friends and family over for meals. As a child I looked forward to hearing that my favourite cousins were invited for a sleepover. It was our little reward that Dad afforded us. The deal was that we had to complete our homework for the week before they arrived on Saturday. That was Dad's strict rule.

Normally the questio I get asked by a potential client is “what if I can’t relax enough?”, or “what if I am one of those people who can’t be hypnotised?” Lately however the question has been “what if I fall asleep?” With that in mind, I decided to write this blog post. During my ‘prelim chat’, I generally tell clients at the beginning of their first session that they can view this as taking a light nap. I pause, letting that comfort them, and then I qualify it, by saying that it is not a real sleep, it just feels like that.

Work can be an incredibly rewarding and fulfilling part of your life, but when passion for the work you do becomes an obsession it can be to the detriment of a healthy work/life balance. Ask yourself: • Can you carry on a conversation about anything other than your job? • Is most of your time spent working or thinking about your job? • Do you get impatient with others who prioritize things besides work? • Do you work during meals? • Have your family or friends stopped expecting you to arrive for events on time?r

One of the most intriguing patterns that most people do at some stage is to look at someone else, (usually someone who they think is wonderful, good looking and successful) compare them to themselves and start listing all the reasons why they are better than them and why there is no point in even trying to be as good as them. This is a commonly used strategy for a lot of people and it stops them from trying new things before they even begin. I remember speaking to a friend of mine at a dinner party who has an interest in modern art.

We have all heard that subconscious patterns are the root of our limitations and that if we can change those patterns our quality of life improves. Without a doubt that is true. Yet, thousands of highly skilled students of growth still find themselves trapped in the cycle of two steps forward one step back.nnOur brain comprises two hemispheres, connected by the corpus callosum and the brain stem housing our primitive brain. The left hemisphere (LH) and the right hemisphere (R

Taking responsibility for your life is the key to having high self-esteem. Here are two clues that your self-esteem is not as high as you might like it to be: 1. Blaming others for what does or does not happen in your life. 2. Complaining about your life as if you have no say in it. Having higher self-esteem is about how what you think, feel and believe gets interpreted by you. It is about your interpretation of how you feel and how you transfer those feelings into your beliefs. Often when people blame and complain they are unconsciously giving away their power.

As Christmas rolls around, the city of Singapore has turned into a kaleidoscope of colour, sounds of carols and feelings of relaxation. There is a palpable excitement in the air. It is a time for giving and receiving, not to mention eating, drinking and partying. What better time to try a sensory-based experiment than now when there's a wealth of things to feast our senses on? Most of us have the same routine day in and day out. The weekend may bring us some respite from work and the office. There may be some excitement on the social front, fun with the family or down time just relaxing.r

Years ago I read a great book called “How to be a Star at Work” by Robert E. Kelley. This book became and continues to be one of the “100 Best Business Books of All Time” and the “#1 Career Book” ranked by The New York Daily News. The author makes the argument that “stars are made, not born”. This is terrific news for anyone who is looking for ways to become a star at work. Based on Kelley’s book, there are 9 breakthrough strategies you need to succeed. Here are his strategies and some of his ideas as well as my thoughts on how to awaken the star within you:

True Love involves loyalty, humility, commitment, fidelity and honor. Ideals that form the fundamental context of life long relationships. Context is the environment of relationship: The framework of ideas, assumptions, traditions and beliefs that form a certain perspective. Some are formed in self defense usually at an early age. Most of your beliefs and assumptions were inherited without question from parents, cultures and religions.

Some of you will have undoubtedly seen the film 'The Matrix' starring Keanu Reeves... Some of you may even have understood it! For those of you who haven't seen the film the basic premise is that the earth and human beings have been taken over by machines who, in order to survive, have farmed the human race in one giant complex where they use their body heat to power their own existence.

Empower yourself by learning NLP Anchoringr Firstly, what is Anchoring? It is simply defined as a procedure where your memory and emotion bank are associated/anchored with some other resources in your sub-conscious mind, just like a ship being anchored to to a certain location.

Anchors can be represented by our 5 senses (what we see – sight, what we hear – sound, how w

Spontaneous remission, also known as spontaneous healing and spontaneous regression is a phenomenon that occurs when a disease unexpectedly improves or disappears altogether. This occurrence usually leaves doctors at a loss, unable to explain why for example, a cancerous tumour regresses and disappears or why an under- or over active thyroid resumes to normal functioning seemingly on its own.

The Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix will be upon us soon. I was never a fan of this race. I could not understand how enthusiasts sat in the heat of the day watching cars go around a circuit, with danger looming at every corner. I see, hear and feel the adrenalin rush and understand what they are excited about but I would rather lie in bed, reading a book. Until the day I went into the city... and heard the engines roar.

Americans were crying out for change in 2008 when President Obama’s campaign was offering precisely that. For the first time in history a presidential campaign relied heavily on social media where the words of change were taken down to the people on the street, who accessed it with relish. Citizens understood what was on offer. They got excited and were enthusiastic about becoming part of the vehicle that mobilized or at least promised this change.

The ecology aspect is often overlooked in the pursuit of goals or achievements. Unless people have a heightened state of awareness they are generally oblivious to questions such as what happens after they achieve their goal; how does it affect them, their family, financial situation, health and overall future. They fail to ask if the desired change is in line with their values or even the most basic question of all – “Is this what I really want?”
