NLP Marketing, Couples Coaching Ground Rules, NHS Crisis & Handling Addictions | Live Q&A with Steve & Tina
Steve and Tina host a live monthly Q&A on Facebook, discussing how current economic and NHS pressures create opportunities for coaches to adapt and help more people. They answer questions on setting ground rules with couples (listening, coaching neutrality, and an exercise to reconnect partners to early attraction), avoiding imposing personal beliefs, and using personal metaphors in marketing while remembering audiences care about themselves. They compare organic vs paid marketing, emphasizing experimentation, warming cold audiences, and tracking acquisition cost and ROI, and suggest focusing locally. They address safeguarding and record-keeping when clients mention suicidal thoughts and how to respond when people can’t afford help, including signposting, pro bono limits, and group wellbeing sessions. They touch on learning meta programs through observation, working with addiction only when clients truly want change, and crafting an elevator pitch that sparks curiosity and conversation.

NLP & Hypnosis Q&A: Anchoring on Zoom, Selling Without Objections, and What’s Next
In this Facebook Live Q&A, Steve and Tina discuss rapid change in the world and share updates on their current NLP Practitioner training, upcoming Meta-Model work, and a Master Practitioner starting at the end of November. They answer questions on how to collapse anchors in a Zoom setting using visual and auditory cues, and compare virtual vs in-person work, including ideomotor responses, client comfort, flexibility, and fewer cancellations. They address persuasion and pricing objections, emphasizing that “five-star clients” should be filtered and pre-qualified before calls so money concerns are handled early. They explain how they structure coaching programs and payments, reflect on what excites them about their work, and describe using submodalities and future pacing in negotiation. They also recommend learning hypnosis through listening, reading (including Hammond’s book), voice craft, and music/binaural beats, and mention expanding content to YouTube/LinkedIn and promoting a free NLP Masters Summit.

Live Q&A: NLP Training Tasters, Zoom Inclusion, Stroke Recovery & Anxiety Tools
A live-streamed Q&A features the host on holiday in Scotland with team member Tanya Bunting, who reports on Steve being in London with Paul McKenna and Alessandro Moira running a “Change Your Life in Seven Days” seminar and successfully including virtual Zoom attendees. They answer questions about marketing an NLP Practitioner course, recommending longer tasters than one hour, charging rather than offering free intros, tailoring content to the audience (especially businesspeople), and “over-delivering” to create customer astonishment. They discuss supporting stroke recovery with positive language and daily 7-11 breathing, troubleshooting when breathing “causes anxiety,” and addressing panic/fight-or-flight through regular practice. Other topics include working with children via storytelling and NLP techniques, exploring secondary gain in symptoms, being appropriately authoritative with clients, and handling dissociation and trauma, including concerns about reassociation, swish patterns, and timeline-style approaches.

Autumn Training Updates + Q&A: Cult Recovery, Stop Smoking Commitment, Zoom Anchoring & Pain Ethics
In this Facebook Live, Tina and Steve catch up after Orlando, discuss UK weather, and preview upcoming events: an NLP Practitioner in October at Regent’s University (returning to three live weekends plus a language day), a November Master Practitioner focused on recognizing/creating/installing strategies plus advanced hypnosis and deep trance identification, and a forthcoming affiliate program with ready-made marketing content. They also announce a September 22 masterclass led by Tina on using hypnosis and NLP to support fertility and infertility, sharing IVF experiences and a case where relaxation led to natural conception. In Q&A, they advise on working with someone who escaped a cult by clarifying outcomes and addressing beliefs, assess stop-smoking readiness through language and commitment, recommend simplifying admin with templates and basic processes ahead of economic uncertainty, explain how to anchor effectively on Zoom, caution against removing pain signals for osteoarthritis while using visualization and safe adjustments, and outline approaches to tics/Tourette’s by reducing stress and building conscious control.

Nested Loops, Edutainment & Scaling Your Practice (Plus Hypnotic Fertility Masterclass)
Two hosts reconnect after technical issues, with Tina joining from Florida during an NLP trainers’ training with Richard Bandler and team, where participants are practicing nested loops and anchoring. They discuss how nested loops and metaphors embed learning, share examples from Eddie Izzard and Bandler’s teaching style, and suggest a future masterclass on the topic. Tina previews an upcoming masterclass on hypnotic fertility, sharing a past case and her strategy for supporting unexplained fertility and medical interventions, with dates to be confirmed around 22 September. They promote newsletters, trainings, the Secret Agents of Change membership (monthly skills and business sessions, recordings, CPD points), and an affiliate program opening 1 August. Q&A covers making presentations fun via “edutainment,” scaling with group coaching and clear economics, pricing without mind-reading demographics, managing incongruent client goals in affairs/addictions through deeper diagnostics, and approaches to parenting change work.
