Introducing: David Gordon’s Tasking
It might be the most important question of all time. How do you persuade someone with a problem to change?
If you believe telling, persuading, or nagging would help, you should probably exit this page now. You’re in a fantasy world.
People are reluctant to change by nature. “The only one who enjoys change is a wet infant,” is one of my favorite sayings.
As a student of hypnosis and NLP, I examined the world’s transformation specialists. I slept off while reading Milton Erickson’s writings. There wasn’t a single NLP book I hadn’t read in search of the key…
How can I help someone who wants to change?
As a hypnotist in a busy workplace, I encountered hundreds of people who claimed to desire to change. However, as soon as they left the office, they would seek to undermine the job that had been completed.
I’m out to prove myself wrong.
Let me tell you a story about Patricia. She was one of my first customers. She came in to lose weight, and while she claimed to need to drop 40 pounds, the fact was that she needed to lose three times that much.
Her first session consisted of my introducing hypnosis to her, and she was an excellent subject. She returned two days later, ecstatic that she had stopped eating junk food. She handed her maid all of the junk food in her house.
Patricia was “done” with hypnosis by the next session. She walked straight from my office to the grocery, where she bought and ate three boxes of doughnuts before leaving to demonstrate that she was not under anyone’s “control.”
She came in to say she was relieved to have shown that hypnosis did not work.
She Wasn’t the only one who felt this way.
I learnt more about hypnosis by sitting in my office and seeing 8 to 10 people every day than by reading thousands of pages of material.
The vast majority of clients received their outcomes, referred their friends, and departed satisfied. Others, on the other hand, discovered the most unusual ways to undermine their growth.
Looking for an Answer
I immersed myself further in the literature. I went to more trainings. I spent hours watching vids. If someone claimed to be successful in a certain field, I was on the phone with them, pushing them for information.
Then everything changed. The solution smacked me square in the face. I took up the phone and dialed David Gordon, one of the inventors of NLP and Milton Erickson’s best modeler.
Every conundrum has a solution.
I was on Cloud Nine when David Gordon released Therapeutic Metaphors (in my opinion, the single finest book on NLP).
In all of my work, I employed Therapeutic Metaphors. This approach was even the subject of my doctorate dissertation.
But I was seeking for something more powerful.
I’d read all of David’s books and attended several of his trainings, but this time I was looking for heavy artillery.
I challenged David to answer the following question…
How did Milton Erickson get people to do things in order to effect change?
I’m sure you’ve heard some of these stories:
Erickson, the nurse, showed her how to eat beans and fart in order to overcome her embarrassment of farting in public.
The wedding couple who found they both wet the bed, and how Erickson forced them to pee the bed on purpose every night.
The self-conscious professor who was sexually restrained until Erickson compelled him to name his wife’s breasts.
The woman with the world’s largest rear end who was certain no one would marry her until Erickson taught her one crucial truth.
How Erickson persuaded a couple of sexually repressed college instructors to loosen out by utilizing unfamiliar vocabulary.
After putting him up on “the blind date from hell,” I was able to persuade a man who was frightened of dating to start having a social life.
By stomping on her foot, I was able to cure a woman who was scared to leave her house.
Advising a couple seeking marriage counseling to go to the zoo and climb Squaw Peak.
The Two Elements You Must Understand
How did Erickson know which assignment to assign to the client?
How did Erickson persuade his clients to complete these tasks?
David Gordon’s Tasking Video Training is now available.
David created this one-time training for an audience of hypnotists and other personal transformation professionals years ago. People were glued to their chairs while David lectured.
If you’ve never experienced a live training session with David, you’re losing out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. David is, in my opinion, the world’s clearest and most engaging NLP trainer. And, as part of this new training, David developed new routes for comprehending Erickson and his work.
After the training, we went to our hypnotherapy offices and began transforming people’s lives.
And Then Disaster Strikes!
David didn’t want me to make this training available to the public. So it’s been sitting on my shelf for over seven years!
David ultimately evaluated the tapes and gave me permission to sell these DVDs two years ago, but I was still hesitant. Were these DVDs too detailed for the general public? Would these strong methods be used ethically?
Or was I just sitting on them to keep the gold for myself? To be honest, I’m not certain. But I decided to make them available now.
Why? Because there is a lot of suffering during this economic downturn, and we need professionals who can assist people adjust.
This is not a product for personal growth. It is not a product aimed at persuading people to change (although it could be mis-used as such.)
It is about determining what individuals require and aiding them in creating long-term adjustments.
The price of these DVDs is set to be $397. However, they will not be ready for shipment until June 14. So I’m offering you a $100 one-week publishing price reduction.
The collection includes seven DVDs.
