Phillip Holt's World Presenting Courses to Enhance the Mind

Learning English with NLP

Phillip Holt — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 11:30:49 GMT

My travels giving courses, talks and presentations, takes me to many countries around the world, East to West, and I enjoy my work.

I have just completed a ten day course in the southern Turkish city of Antalya, where the participants learned the English language.

Working with Kaya Firat of BIZ, we took participants with some knowledge of English, and over the days together, from 4pm until 10pm, we helped them, nurtured them, taught them how to speak and converse in English so much better.

Biz Egitim Dansmanik, Antalya, with Phillip Holt, Learning English

I was amazed by how over the time together, peoples confidence grew, that they were more willing to engage in conversation, especially with myself who speaks no Turkish.

There is no magic switch in the brain that will instantaneously take a non English speaking person into a fluent English speaker, there is a need of practise, practise, practise.

There is a need to engage the whole body to speak a language, the tongue, the breathing, the jaw, the muscles, and those that followed the course and participated in the exercises, certainly improved their English.

I love my work.

Father Christmas on his Sleigh

Phillip Holt — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:48:47 GMT

Not only this year was I Father Christmas at the Rotary Club's Christmas Tree in Kingston upon Thames, but also for one night I was Santa on the sleigh driven through local neighbourhoods correcting donations door to door to go into funds to help local charities and people.

The night started with the temperature a little cold and no wind, but as the night progressed, the wind started and got stronger, and the rain came down, but it did not dampen the spirits of the fellow Rotarians knocking on doors for the annual collection.

Young and old came to their doors, stood at their windows to wave at Santa.

Some children came to the sleigh to talk to Santa, to ask him to leave a special present for them on Christmas Day.

It was not until we finished the evening and we were packing up, that I noticed how cold it was and have heavy the rain was.

Father Christmas, Noel Baba

Phillip Holt — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:23:51 GMT

It is that time of the year again in many parts of the world where the festive season of Christmas is celebrated.

Last year I spent many weeks in the RIXOS Premium Hotel Belek in Antalya, Southern Turkey over the Christmas and New Year period, and on Xmas Day I was honoured to be Father Christmas, or Noel Baba, for the guests at a special festive meal.

Previous years I have been taking my share of being Father Christmas for the Rotary Club of Kingston upon Thames at the Christmas Tree outside Bentall's Shopping Centre, and this year has been the same.

It is such a privilege to be the Father Christmas for the young children as they are taken shopping with their parents.

The look in the children's eyes as they see me, wonderment, they wave back as I wave at them, and when they come-up to Santa, and I engage them in a little conversation, memories food back to me of the time when I believed in Father Christmas.

I ask them what they want me to leave them on Christmas day, and it could be a scooter, a doll, a bicycle, and I wonder if their parents have brought their desires.

I always finish-off by asking them if they will leave me a minced pie and a carrot for Rudolph as we will be very hungry, and the children often add "and a glass of milk". I always get a big "yes".

We always offer the children a sweet from a little box in exchange for a donation that the children puts in our collecting bucket, the proceeds of which go to support local charities and services in the Royal Borough of Kingston.

The motto of the Rotary Club is Service above Self, and surely being Santa to the children is not a service but an honour.

It is good to get home

Phillip Holt — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 16:09:50 GMT

I love my work, teaching participants, passing on information, giving people confidence, improving self-esteem, what ever, but it is always great to be home.

As Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz would say, "There's no place like home."

After a week in Istanbul giving a Society of NLP Practitioner course, a delayed flight, I could set about washing my shirts, answering my mail and telephone messages, collect my new reading glasses, and enjoying a walk into my home town centre.

When I arrived in the market square of Kingston upon Thames, I was surprised to find the Christmas Market had arrived with all the stalls selling seasonal fare, food, gifts, sweets, and drinks. The familiar smell of mulled wine entered my senses, a typical Christmas drink, red wine with added spices and served warm.

My senses came alive, as this is a special time in the UK culture, a season of good will, of being with friends and family. The trouble is my work takes me away from friends and family, but the deep memories from years gone by warmed me as much as the mulled wine.

Feedback on Mind Maps after many years

Phillip Holt — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 17:09:44 GMT

In all the countries around the world I visit, and with all the people who have attended my courses, who I have worked with on private issues, phobias, confidence building, I never fail to get joy and wonderment from my work.

I never expect praise or criticism, although both are welcome, neither do I seek feedback unless the participant or client is willing to give it to me. I know intuitively how I have down as I continually test and monitor my work.

Back in 2004, I ran a Mind Map course, along with other courses on that visit, one of many Mind Mapping courses I have given to the public, schools, businesses, and individuals. I had indeed forgotten that trip.

Today I received an email from Kamani Gunathilake which says:-

I PARTICIPATED YOUR MIND MAP AND SPEED READING CLASS IN 2004.NOW I AM READING MY MBA. YOUR TRAINING COURSE HELPED ME TO GO TO THAT LEVEL.

Just that simple message has given me such a boost, just reminding me that any little thing we do, any little piece of information, any help that we give to others, can have a profound influence on their life.

Just that simple little message has given me the drive to deliver more to as many people who wish to engage me in whatever country it may be.

Thank you Kamani.

I Had a Dream, Are Dreams and Beliefs Truth

Phillip Holt — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 09:13:04 GMT

Last night I was taken to a rather expensive restaurant called VU's on the 50th floor of the Emirates Towers here in Dubai.

The eight course meal must have been cooked by Gordon Blue (Cordon Bleu), as each dish was very small, for example the appetiser was one small mushroom set upon an equally small amount of sauce, but in the end the whole meal was very filling and superb.

Retiring to my bed, I drifted of into a very heavy sleep which resulted in those dreams which are so vivid.

I dreamt that I had been in a previous employment many years ago, and that after I had resign, I was accused of taking a sum of money from the company, a cheque valued at £2,000.

The whole scene was so vivid, yet so unreal, as I recall that some of the scenes were set it seems in a classroom I studied in when I was a schoolboy many years earlier.

I knew I was innocent as I tried to prove that there had been a mistake, also protecting my staff from being accused who I knew were innocent. Yet, the management wanted blood, my blood, especially from one manager whom I realised was a nasty piece of work, using any tactic to help him climb the ladder of success, removing those who got in his way, and I was in his way.

I was in panic, so much panic, it awoke me, or was it the bright desert morning sunlight?

In this half awake, half asleep state, I was guilty, and although I used my logic, my memory of the real event of leaving that job or employment, I was guilty.

I knew I had dreamt that I had been accused of this crime, but my mind, part of my conscious mind was adamant it was true.

It took me some minutes to rationalise, to reason with my conscious mind, to convince it that it was just a dream.

This whole incident of my dream reminded me of one of the radio interviews I had just done (listen) on beliefs, what they are and how they formed, it also reminded me about false memories, those memories of passed times which we are totally convinced are true, but are in fact totally wrong and untrue.

Perhaps you have been with a friend discussing something that had happened sometime ago, one said this happened and you knew it was something different that had happened.

"Jane wore that blue dress she always wears" your friend say, and you reply convincingly, "No, it was her red dress".

Who was right?

Cat on the mat time.

There have been many cases of people being accused and convicted of crimes that they have not committed, especially in child abuse cases, where the child with their active minds, or people who were mentally unstable, or people with a grudge against the accused, have told stories that were so convincing that they believed them to be true, the judge and juries believed to be true, even leading to the accused believing them to be true, and you and me perhaps believed to be true.

False memories. False beliefs.

In the 1970's and 1980's, especially but not restricted to the USA, many people were "brought to justice", for child abuse, only to be later overturned as evidence was submitted to prove innocence, or it was proved there was no evidence in the original trials, or that false memories had been created.

In 2001, Margaret Talbot wrote in the New York Times :-

"When you once believed something that now strikes you as absurd, even unhinged, it can be almost impossible to summon that feeling of credulity again."

A policeman was accused and convicted along with some his colleagues, of abusing his daughters. His strong religious beliefs, and his beliefs that his children would never tell lies, placed false memories in his own mind that he had done those atrocities, and he admitted his (false) guilt. The way that the daughter had been questioned by investigators, the way the interviewers had constructed their questions, the interviewers' preconceived ideas or notions, because the interviewers' had authority with the child, the child wanted to please, because the child had been repeatedly asked the same questions, because the child had perhaps heard similar stories from their friends, had led the memories to become what the interviewer wanted, they were false memories, their beliefs.

I was asked to travel to Italy to work with a lady who was having problems. With her doctors permission, I worked with her. It turned out that at a time of stress, the birth of her child, a family member who had just started a physiology type course, tried to analyse her help her, and placed in her mind that she had been, as a child, raped by her father, then her mother, her aunties and uncles, the villagers, her pet and then the animals in the surrounding farms. Her relative had placed in her mind false memories which she believed to be true. My job was to help her back to reality, to reprogram those memories and not remove them.

Many examples can be cited here, the case of brainwashing by counties, regimes and organisations, for example the Branch Davidians in the Waco Siege of 1993,

In recent months we have had the case of Amanda Fox, Rafaelle Sollecito and Meredith Kercher, many beliefs were created, and not knowing all the facts I am not going to express any opinion on the outcome. These beliefs firstly led to convictions, then led to acquittals.

Firstly we had the alleged preconceived ideas of the investigators, the alleged methods of questioning, both the accused, Amanda Fox, and the investigators under stress, and the differences in Italian and English languages, how in translation words have and could be given different meanings and thus outcomes. This led to strong beliefs in the prosecutors, defendants, jury and press, and thus the public, you and me, as to what was the truth.

Even after the retrial and acquittal, people still hold on to their beliefs, as Margaret Talbot said above.

I have to be very careful of how I construct my language, how my words are being translated in my courses given in so many non English speaking countries. It could be the problem given in the recent incident between the Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini and Carlos Tevez who is alleged to play against Mayern Munich. What is the truth? Which ever story is stronger, which every side of the fence you fall, will be your belief.

What ever we are taught at school, in your religious teachings, by your parents, family and friends, what news we are being fed by the radio, TV, newspapers our governments all create our beliefs which are of cause the truth.

So was my dream true or not. I had to dig deep, to chunk down, to gather more information to prove my dream was just a dream and not the truth, even if it was so vivid, so much so that it could become my belief.

We have to go below the surface level (iceberg effect) to find the truth that become our beliefs, but are they true?

Is our Cat on the Mat the correct cat?

Look Before You Leap

Phillip Holt — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 11:43:46 GMT

Here in the UK we have a saying "look before you leap", and roughly means, before you do anything, think of the outcomes or consequences of what you are about to do.

As you can see from my photograph, I sport a beard, and I have had hair on my face since my college days.

Call me lazy, I do not have to shave every morning or night, I can get up, have a shower and off I go.

But hair grows, and I like to keep my beard trimmed, so as required, I have a machine which trims beards. Easy, as long as I remember to charge the battery, no problem.

It has a guard on it which is adjustable, allowing the cutting head to be presented to the hair at a certain distance, thus each hair will be in theory of equal length. This guard can be removed allowing the cutters remove the hair at skin level.

Having just returned from a trip abroad, when it was required that I looked presentable, thus I kept my beard trimmed using my machine, I decided to have a shower and again trim my beard before I went off to a meeting.

As soon as I started trimming the hair I realised something was amiss, something was wrong, my beard was too short, to much had been taken off. The one area I had used the trimming machine on, looked like a footpath through a field of wheat.

I looked at the trimmer, and the adjustment guide number of the guard showed "1" whereas I use the setting of "4".

How could this be? The adjustment is hard to change, it needs effort, and I knew I would never do that.

I think somewhere there is some smiling person who knew they would have a laugh at my expense, the hotel maid, I do not know.

There was no other thing to do but trim my whole beard the same length, which reminds me of the time in Saudi Arabia.

Whilst living in Saudi Arabia, I had the darkest suntan you could imagine, I was black except for a white patch which never saw the light of day, never to be seen by other human eyes, that was until I had to have a medical in London requiring me to strip off. There was an endless procession of medical staff coming to see my white patch.

It was just a couple of days before I was to return to the UK for this medical examination, and I had arisen early from my bed to go for a scuba dive, that I decide to trim my beard.

Half asleep I proceeded to trim my bread. As soon as I started I knew I had left the guard off, and the cutters had removed a pathway through my beard.

There was nothing for it but to remove the whole of my beard which had been on my face for many years.

My face was half white and half tanned. I spent my remaining days trying to get the whole of my face tanned.

I achieved an even tan, and went to England, and whilst there, I went to see my daughter Vanessa who was about 6 years old. Being abroad working, and only having one break a year, I only had the opportunity to see her once a year, plus I was divorced from her mother who put many restrictions on my seeing Vanessa.

I decided to meet her out of school, and standing next to my ex-wife, waited, a clean seven bronzed man.

Vanessa ran out of school and my heart jump with happiness and joy, as I expected her to run into my arms. But no, she ran straight to my ex-wife, who said to Vanessa, "look who is here, don't you recognise him?", to which Vanessa said "NO", and carried on telling her mother about her day, completely dismissing me.

I grew my beard back and it has stayed with me ever since.

Sometimes it is wise to look before you leap, before you do something, consider the consequences.

Sometimes it is best that you look at all the facts before making a decision, to take in all the information presented to you.

Use Phillips Sausage to gain the extra details.

I am getting so many telephone calls from people trying to sell me something, getting my web sites high into the Google search results, asking me to take a survey, telling me that I have a virus on my computer, telling me I have won a holiday.

We need to stop, look, consider before we make that leap, or for me check the settings on my beard trimming machine.

A Grebe Takes a Meal

Phillip Holt — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 12:23:45 GMT

I love observing the world around me, finding the little things that people normally miss, and when I find the unusual, I need to know what is gaining on, what is the history, what makes it work, but sometimes I just like to observe and enjoy the time.

A grebe on the River Thames, Kingston Upon Thames

Walking recently by the River Thames I noticed the bird called the grebe swimming low in the water, and diving down for what seems an age, to resurface a long way away from where it entered.

It was the first time that I saw the result of a dive, that the grebe had caught a fish. Nature can be so cruel when you think of the poor fish that was just swimming about just a few seconds before, but life on earth is like this, a tree or plant will take nutrients from the soil, perhaps depriving another plant or tree which will then die. A lion will kill an antelope to feed to live. A bird will eat a caterpillar so we will never see a beautiful butterfly, and then perhaps the bird will be eaten by another animal.

A grebe on the River Thames, Kingston Upon Thames, eating a fish.

It is a dog eats dog world.

Even in business, cultural or beliefs systems, in living or existing as we have seen in recent months say in Libya, it is the same, it is dog eat dog or the survival of the fittest.

Life can be Poo Poo seen from one perspective, or beautiful and productive if seen from another.

Global Tech really do think I am an idiot.

Phillip Holt — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 11:49:56 GMT

I just received another telephone call, but this time the number read 02080997526 (UK London telephone number), and yes the person had an Indian accent.

He introduced himself as Mike, oh I have heard that name before, and this time he said he was from Global Tech.

Then he went on about how my computer may be infected by a virus, and could I get on my computer and he would prove to me that it had been infected.

Mike, you have called me three times in the last week. You are not British, you are from India and and still in India, you are a fraudster a scammer, trawling through the telephone books, telephoning people who you can convince there is something wrong with their computer when it is OK, then take their money.

Read my last blog, click here.

Just by buying another internet telephone number does not stop people knowing who you are.

If you have been a victim in the UK, you can report the incident to Action Fraud.

Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 Sparviero Update

Phillip Holt — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 13:33:05 GMT

In the past I have written about the Italian Second World War aircraft, the Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 Sparviero, or Sparrow Hawk.

It was my privilege to talk to Gianni Golfera's Grandfather, who had flown this aircraft during the war, and how he had shot down two British Hurricanes.

It was on one of my trips to research my interests, that I visited Bletchley Park, once home in the Second War World to the Code Breakers that were able to break the secret Enigma Codes of the Germans, plus the home of the world's first electronic computer, Colossus.

In Bletchley Park's many displays, there are models of many aircraft that flew and fought in WWII, but one aircraft that was missing was the Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 Sparviero, and as I had found as in my articles on Part of My History is Missing, I wanted other visitors to be aware of more of the WWII history.

The Italian Airforce Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 Sparviero

So, to honour a great man, I donated my little plastic aircraft to the museum. I hope others will see it and wonder what has been missing from their learnings.

Phillip Holt — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 16:10:43 GMT

In todays interview with Ashford Radio Publishing, Phillip Holt talks about how we are influenced by other people, and how we can influence others, how outside stimulus, be it a visual stimulus, auditory, touch, smell or taste, or combinations, will influence our behaviour.

In the time available, less than half an hour, Phillip explains with examples how every day stimuli effects us, and how we learn them.

In NLP terms we call these stimuli effects anchors. (click to visit explanation of anchors page).

The Mayor of Kingston joins Rotary

Phillip Holt — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 13:02:04 GMT

I first joined Rotary Club back in 1981 in Peterborough, and as a young member, I thoroughly enjoyed the fellowship, the work we did for charity, and the social side of the club.

In 1983, I decided to accept a position as Software Manager for the Texas Instruments computer distributor in Saudi Arabia, and stayed out there for over six years.

No clubs or organisations were permitted in Saudi Arabia, so my membership to Rotary Club had to be stopped.

It was not until a few years ago that I rejoined, this time the Kingston upon Thames Rotary Club.

I have time when not travelling the world giving courses, time that I can give to the community, time that I can give some of my knowledge, my expertise, my energy.

If we are doing nothing, why not help others who are less fortunate?

I love my job as a trainer, speaker, change manager, and also being part of Rotary, whose motto is Service Above Self, and certainly I see other members who give so much time and energy without counting the cost, perhaps just for the fellowship, perhaps just for the social connections.

At a recent meeting I was asked to take some photographs of the Mayor of Kingston upon Thames being accepted into Rotary Club at our lunchtime meeting.

Just taking some photographs to share with others, to have a pictorial history for the club, costs me nothing, just my time, yet perhaps it can give pleasure to others.

I know my friends, Bob and Laiyng Wheatley, who were Mayor and Mayoress of Fishguard and Goodwick recently, had a enjoyable and rewarding time, and I hope the Mayor and Mayoress of Kingston upon Thames, Patrick and Susan Codd, have the same experience, even if every day is taken-up with engagements and meetings for little or no payment, and with so many meals and dinners to attend, they will have to watch their waist line.

I share the photographs with you.

Antalya Koleji or A Day in Antalya College School

Phillip Holt — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 15:17:30 GMT

A few weeks ago it was my privilege to be invited to give a days seminar to Antalya Koleji, or Antalya College School, in Southern Turkey.

A full report can be seen by clicking here, but be warned, it is in Turkish.

Thank you Asuman for translating the entry into English :-

Seminar on Developing Memory Techniques and Learning Skills

NLP Master Phillip Holt gave a seminar to 5th grade students on Memory Techniques and Learning Skills.

NLP Expert Phillip Holt helped the students gain an understanding of what Mind Maps are and where they can use the technique.

Holt stated that Mind Maps is a useful learning and remembering tool that helps the individuals visualise and recall when necessary an idea or concept through creative ways. Students also played interactive games covering the seminar theme.

Primary School 5th grade students used Mind Maps to make learnings lasting, imagining the items given by the NLP Expert Phillip Holt, and visualising them in a memory exercise.

What a wonderful day we had, a hall full of children, eager to learn and at the same time have fun, new ways of learning.

Within the day they had learned how to count to ten in Japanese, they had learned the English names of the planets in our Solar System, they had remembered over twenty random words, and could recite them back to me in order backwards and forwards, they had learned how to do Mind Maps.

Kaya Firat and Phillip Holt

In the afternoon, just before they left for home, the schools principal came into to hall, and they all stood on the stage, and demonstrated to her their new knowledge by counting in Japanese and telling her the planets and the random words I had given them.

What a privilege to work with children like this.
