GREETINGS:

I wonder how easy it would be to come and escape the heat, into a nice cool hall
filled with hypnotists, and hypnosis enthusiasts! And also filled with
wonderful, career and life enriching tips and secrets from the minds of said
hypnotists, such as our very own Katie Evans. Are you ready for more ideas for
success to fill your minds?! I know I am. Thanks to all of you for your
efforts in spreading the word on our chapter of the NGHWA. Our membership is
growing. Keep it up! Do invite your friends!

To let you know, we've had some difficulty with the chapter website, which
should be fully resolved soon and back to normal. Keep an eye on
http://www.nghwa.org for our new format and features, and the member page with
links should be back up soon. Members, if you haven't already done so, remember
to send us a brief bio and web link for inclusion on our current members page to
Michael Brannan at cmbrannan@yahoo.com.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER:

"How to Get on the Front Page of Google".
Katie Evans

Do you want more business?

Do you think you have to spend a ton of money advertising to get that
business?

Would you like to be on Page 1 of Google for your key words?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you absolutely MUST attend the
next NGHWA meeting on Friday, August 14.

Our Speaker is Katie Evans, who will share her secrets to getting very high
organic ("free") rankings on search engines.

Katie began her practice in Seattle in 1987 after studying with the
legendary Charlie Tebbetts. She now has 12 Living Lite Hypnosis Centers
nationwide and is in the process of opening 3 more in the Epicenter Athletic
Clubs around Puget Sound. Most of her business comes from Google and she pays
nothing, zero, zip, nada for those leads—and spends less than 1 hour a week
keeping 2 sites on page one of Google for key words "hypnosis weight loss."

Katie has generously agreed to share her secrets with NGHWA.

If you need more business, you must attend!

"You can be the best hypnotherapist in the world but if no one knows about you,
what have you accomplished?" Katie Evans

FEATURED ARTICLE:

"The Importance of Calibration in NLP"
Keith Livingston

Calibration is the art of taking a "mental snapshot" of a person's emotional
state(s). The purpose? So you know when they are accessing that state again.
Another word for calibration is "measurement." So, you're
looking/listening/feeling for clues and cues that mark a particular emotion in a
person.

How do we use it???

• It's useful for knowing when a person has changed their emotional response to
a situation. It's a channel of communication other than verbal content (and
usually much more accurate).

• It's helps you know when you're moving toward a particular goal with a person
(whether professional or personal).

• It helps you know if your NLP and hypnotic techniques (such as anchoring)
have "taken."

Examples Where Calibration is Useful

Let's suppose you're working with a client and they have anxiety about a
situation. You calibrate the anxiety state and a relaxed confident state. After
you've done your work, you associate them into the formerly anxious situation.
They say they feel fine but you notice they have several markers of the anxious
state present.

You're doing a collapse anchors. You've calibrated both states and fired off
both anchors. How do you tell what's going on and if it's working? Calibration.

You've met someone you're interested in. You've calibrated them to like/dislike.
You can use your calibration skills to tailor your message to them to make sure
you're heading in the right direction.

Without Calibration Skills, You're Driving Blind

In the above examples and in many other situations, without calibration, you'd
be driving blind. More accurately, you'd be relying on conscious information and
ignoring unconscious information. It's not that people are lying all the time;
it's just that sometimes the conscious mind and the unconscious mind have
different ideas or are in conflict about something.

Enjoy,
Keith
