<p>While the presentation was light, and the presenter made some humorous comments, it almost seems like the audience thought the whole thing was some kind of joke! Too bad, because I think there was some good (serious) advice in this presentation.</p>
<p>For me, NLP is also a victim of late night infomercial syndrome. For whatever reason, what is probably a serious, credible field of study loses some of it&#8217;s luster when made available to the masses in three easy payments. I have ascribed this syndrome to the likes of Don Lapre, which I have alluded to in an <a title="don lapre" href="http://www.fourhourworkweekjournal.com/2008/03/07/4-hour-workweek-easier-said-than-done/">earlier post</a>. In the case of NLP, the infomercial version comes in the form of Anthony Robbins. And just like Mr. Lapre, there exists a rather excellent spoof:</p>
