While reviewing Walter1963's work on NLP, this caught my eye. He wrote:
"It happened to me when I took a 3 day NLP seminar in 1995 and at the end of the 3 day seminar I found myself signing up for their 21 day $2500.00 "NLP practitioner certification program", ironically enough it was right next door to a EST seminar. And during the 21 day course, I was regularly bombarded by hypnotic suggestions from the 'trainers' and 'guardian angels'(basically fools who paid to take the seminar again) to sign up for the $5000.00 "Master Practitioner" program. They were pushing the next course so hard via hypnotic language that I was physically getting sick towards the end and the last week of it I was barely there.
I am thinking that the juxtaposition of the NLP seminar, next to the EST seminar was NOT, ironic.
I remained mystified as to why coaching organizations, or ONE in particular is so enamored with this "junk science", and can only conclude that they are using a vintage, tried and true, persuasion formula.
