NLP Co-founder, John Grinder's Workshop in Japan
- Tapping Your Personal Genius through NLP in Leadership -
(Application of Patterns of Excellence of NLP to Business)

Dr Grinder, a co-founder of NLP will finally come to Japan! His visit in March 2005 will be a historic event, because it will be the very first visit to Japan by either of the two co-founders of NLP for the last 30 years since NLP was founded 1975.

This visit by Dr Grinder was made possible by Taiten Kitaoka, who is the head of the UK NLP Academy Japan, and the workshop by Dr Grinder and by Ms Carmen Bostic St. Clair will be organised by JMA, Tokyo, who has been organising Mr Kitaoka's NLP courses in Japan.

In this workshop, you will learn the New Code techniques of NLP from its co-creator, and master the following success patterns of excellence in business environments and others:

* Patterns of excellence for the enhancement of leadership as the skill the most required for managers operating in the competitive business environment
* Patterns of excellence for the effective use of verbal communications to manage information flow - the lifeblood of the company
* Patterns of excellence for establishing and maintaining positive rapport, especially under difficult circumstances
* Patterns of excellence for the promotion of creativity and for fostering the ability to think and act outside of the box

These techniques can be used in non-business environments as well. Mastering them will help you to achieve "Excellence in Life".

Greetings to Members of the Business Community of Japan

We are most pleased by the opportunity provided to us by JMA who has graciously agreed to host a one day business practices seminar (21 March, 2005) presented by Quantum Leap, Inc. (John Grinder and Carmen Bostic St. Clair). This visit to Japan of mine will be my first visit as a Co-Creator of NLP. This exciting opportunity has been initiated by Mr Taiten Kitaoka whom I have known since 1988, and whom I regard as a worthy representative of NLP in Japan. The express purpose of this seminar will be the presentation some of the explicit models and patterns of excellence in business practice developed in Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

As the co-creator of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), I (John Grinder) am aware that this technology is as yet not particularly well-known in the business community in Japan. This suggests that introductory remarks are in order. I therefore offer the following remarks as a very brief and general introduction to the discipline known as NLP.

Beginning some thirty plus years ago, Richard Bandler and I began a
great adventure, exploring two fundamental questions:

What are the differences between geniuses and average performers?

and

Are these differences reproducible - that is, can others learn to perform as do the geniuses that inspire us all?

In our studies, we have uncovered and continue to uncover encouraging and surprising answers to these questions. In the process of exploring these possibilities systematically, we created the discipline known as Neuro-Linguistic Programming. More precisely, NLP is the study of the differences that make the differences between a genius and an average performer - these differences once made explicit involve many skills sets and most encouraging have proven to be transferable to other practitioners in the same field as the original geniuses modeled by us. The process of modeling excellence has resulted in explicit (and therefore learnable) models that have applications in a wide range of human endeavor - from family life and personal development to business practice, sports and art.

In less than four decades this technology (NLP) has spread like a wildfire to the many part of our globe. Thus, the pleasure we experience at the opportunity to make this presentation sponsored by JMA.

In this seminar, we will offer explicit patterns that lead to excellence in various portions of business practice: in particular,
  • Patterns of excellence for the enhancement of leadership as the skill the most required for managers operating in the competitive business environment
  • Patterns of excellence for the effective use of verbal communications to manage information flow - the lifeblood of the company
  • Patterns of excellence for establishing and maintaining positive rapport, especially under difficult circumstances
  • Patterns of excellence for the promotion of creativity and for fostering the ability to think and act outside of the box
Our intention is to offer patterning and strategies to stimulate the thinking and behaviors of excellence in the Japanese business community. Especially, I understand that Coaching has recently become a quite big movement in that community, and, with the NLP patterns, coaches will find still greater success. We are aware of the tremendous historical exchange of ideas that has resulted in startling advances in business practice between our two countries, beginning with the Quality movements pioneered in Japan (Demming) through the lean manufacturing techniques (Toyota, as a leading example) to various forms of process re-engineering. We hope to continue this tradition with this seminar. We invite you to join us for the day.
