Freedom and Peace

Could you help your people rise to the next level of excellence …?

 

To do

  1. Decide to try it. It's free - what do have to lose!
  2. Contact Passion Pumpkin now!

"You may not remember this now - but I was getting rather stressed by my driving lessons and I have to say that I implemented positive action as a result of the Stressbusters day... " (R. Lancaster, Probation Officer)

Everybody needs a regular, positive input to rise up to, and maintain their best performance, reduce stress, resolve conflict and realise their potential. NLP is one of the most powerful personal development tools available for helping people to realise their true potential. But, of course, the only real way to evaluate something is to try it out – that’s an NLP core principle – take action, notice results, adjust, take more action …

That’s why I’m offering to give a session free because I know it can make a big difference. It changes the view, give people more choices and access to their best thinking and creativity, changes their beliefs about themselves and what is really possible. When we learn to shift the view, suddenly, all sorts of choices are available that didn’t seem to exist before. How we feel (our ‘state’) changes everything! So here’s a bit more about what it is, how it works and what it can do …   

“Pump Up Your Volume and Get Back on the Bus!” – or the “Pumpkin Pep-up” - a one hour, stand back, take a breath, change the view, create more choices, have fun session for groups of up to 15 people. Designed to re-focus, re-energise, provide clarity, widen the view, resolve conflict, add positivity and teach improved communication skills for great connection between people. An NLP based training that can really change minds and start new conversations.

These sessions can be held weekly, biweekly or monthly to fit in with available time slots. They can be early morning, lunchtime or evening. The important thing is do them and notice the difference.

Why do them?
We all lose the plot at times. Just like any machine that’s expected to “keep on keepin’ on” we humans need our form of servicing too. We are under more pressure than ever to perform so we need and deserve constructive and useable feedback, time to focus on giving back to ourselves, as well as being able to have fun, reconnect with colleagues and recommit to being our best. Otherwise the build up of negative ‘stuff’ – stress, illness, time off, negative focus, loss of self esteem, blame, guilt, anger – will take its toll, to be sure.

The Benefits
Here are some of the potential benefits of running regular Pumpkin Pep-Ups:

  1. Learn how to ‘reframe’ negatives and keep confidence and self esteem high
  2. Get insight and perspective on conflicts, stress and “problems”
  3. Install powerful “state changers” that transform responses
  4. Understand how to use Rapport, Pacing and Leading to influence anyone
  5. Use language to transform your thinking and communication  
  6. Stop ‘neurotic thinking’ in its tracks and develop the inner coach
  7. Set outcomes to define your next level of excellence
     
A rundown of what a typical “Pumpkin Pep-up” includes follows below.    

The Pumpkin Pep-Up

Using NLP, music, humour, interactive discussion and “let’s do it” exercises we get you back “up”!

Let go
Relaxation – breathe in and let go. Be in this moment and let go of past and future thoughts. This exercise allows people to become grounded in the present so that they can more easily give their best attention.                                                                                               
Get ready

Ground rules: in this room you are able to be in touch with your best – the open, learning self. This ‘you’ chooses to stand back, co-operate and see more. Anything revealed in this session is confidential. We respect everyone and give constructive feedback. Negative and potentially conflict creating contributions are not welcome. If there are existing tensions, or conflicts running under the surface, this is the place to see them in a different light. Access your constructive; co-operative; curious; compassionate; open to learning state here.  

 

Open up the view
Problems! Problems! Problems! What makes a problem a problem? Ask the right questions and choices and solutions begin to pop up. Our problems appear to be “out there” coming at us. But a more useful way to look at them is to realise that our problems are created by our thinking processes. We often think in “problem frames” or “blame frames” – but we could change to “outcome frames” and “resources frames”. Words are powerful for redirecting thinking.
An example: someone’s problem is a bullying relationship. Her experience is of being walked all over and not respected. When she accepts that she is contributing (no blame) to the way she is treated she can go to the next stage. She can begin by asking questions like “what do I want here?” ”What do I need?” She can then decide what resources (states) she needs to set a boundary and change her self image.

Get real!
The “map of the world” concept: in order to really communicate with others we have understand that their “reality” is very different from ours. We think they should understand where we’re coming from … but they don’t. Are they stupid or what? Big miscommunication and conflict come from not understanding this.
Learn to get in rapport and “pace” people – see the world from where they’re standing – then you can lead (influence) them.

My self esteem is hanging by a thread!
Separate “you” from the neurotic thoughts that make you unresourceful. Stop responding to tabloid headline language “it’s terrible” “this is the worst day ever” “I’m so stupid” and bring in the inner coach. Stop believing the put downs others throw at you and give yourself a break. Stand back and reframe, reframe, reframe!   
Build an inner coach resource in your head and use it to tame and replace the crazy, neurotic rubbish that masquerades as “the truth”. The truth is that as human being we make mistakes and can attract unhappy responses from others (who do not communicate well). We don’t have to be defined by any of that. Our job is to find ways to “expand our map” learn and improve. Today’s stress and problems are the means to move on up to your next level of excellence.

What I believe is true for me
What we believe drives what we do and the bounds of possibility for us. We filter for evidence to support our beliefs (I believe I’m not worth much so I find evidence to back this up and “don’t see” other evidence that counters this). But we can choose new beliefs and dump the old ones.
 
My resource states
We learn to define the states we want to deal with “out there” and install them. Everything is driven by our states – resourceful or unresourceful. We show you how to access and “anchor the states that you need for performance, confidence, communicating, learning and more. When you know how to do it the world’s your oyster (or vegetarian option).

Set your intention and think “outcomes”
Decide to move up to your next level. See the future “you” dealing very differently with events “out there” - from the inside. Wherever you are right now set your intention to stand back, see more, generate choices, find your resources and move on up …

Build support
Actively support your positive self development by keeping the positive inputs coming – be creative in finding them (positive people are great for this).
