Nick Kemp will be covering:

• Generating States - How we can identify and get in and out of useful states
• The Power of Language - The way in which we use language in influence
• Rapport Building - Connecting with others
• Delivery Systems - The different ways in which we can communicate
• Strategic Thinking - Developing effective strategies for successful communication

These trainings are highly interactive and our role as trainers is to provoke useful insights and realizations from the workshop attendees. The key areas we include in relation to language are

• Suggestive Predicates - phrases that create client attention
• Sensory Rich Language - Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic language
• Command Language - Language that directs attention
• Elicitation Patterns - Language to elicit information
• Failure Patterns - Language patterns that communicate failure and lack of trust

In this workshop, Andrew T. Austin, inspired by the work of Charles Faulkner, demonstrates how to overcome stuck states and create effective movement towards your personal goals.

Clients often arrive in therapy complaining of a lack of movement in their lives, both metaphorically and literally. Common expressions of how the person feels that reflects this lack of movement include:

• I feel stuck
• I don't feel like I am going anywhere
• I am stuck in a rut
• I feel like I am going around in circles
• I'm not making any progress at all
• I am not moving forward
• I feel like I am going backwards

There are many expressions that reflect a lack of movement in a person's life. In addition to this, many people lack direction:

• I don't know where I am going
• I don't know which way to turn next
• I feel lost
• I lack direction in life
• I feel disorientated
• I feel like I'm going the wrong way in life
• I don't know the right way forward

Instead of paying attention to these metaphors of movement and direction, all too often in therapy there is an excessive attention paid to the kinesthetic system and the emotions. As a result we often find a person who finds themselves unable to move forward until they have the right feeling in place.

It is often noticed that many martial arts and systems of physical movement are highly philosophical in nature, an example that is well known to many people is from Aikido, where an opponents movement is not blocked, but instead is redirected. In this Metaphors of Movement workshop, Austin demonstrates the relationship between the way a person moves their body and the way a person moves through their mind and through their life.

Nick Kemp will be introducting his Provocative Change Works model which draws both inspiration and strategies from the work of Frank Farrelly, Milton Erickson and Richard Bandler, among others to create a powerful set of tools for accelerated change. Provocative Change Works™ can therefore be "described" in terms of Provocative Therapy, NLP and Hypnosis, but is different to these specific individual disciplines.

Nick Kemp have found this combination of tools to produce the fastest, most successful and lasting results when working with clients. He used the Provocative Change Works™ approach in 2006 when appearing on BBC Radio for a 6 month series of live one hour programmes where he cured phobics live on the air using these tools.

Nick also uses this approach in his private practice and the approach is demonstrated extensively on the "Provocative Change Works™ for Phobias" DVD set, which shows him working with long standing phobics producing some really excellent results.

Frank Farrelly provides narration and commentary on these DVDs commented -

"You'll find his work on phobias using PT mixed with NLP and hypnosis quite a blend and Enlightening!!"

"In the past I [Mal Adams] have taken hundreds of people through 'make a video' workshops in non-professional settings all over Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. The Outside Inn quality made these special - becasue this was content that meant something real. That then pushed easily past people's ability to frame the shot, edit in camera or direct. As you [Nick Kemp, host of the Outside Inn] say this is partly the great simplicity of the new Flip cameras but clearly we all produced real, forceful, purposeful media - well, stories from the Outside Inn!"

What People are saying about Frank Farrelly?

"Frank Farrelly's Provocative Therapy is like a treasure buried deep in the shadow of traditional psychotherapeutic modalities. These CD's provide you with a treasure map that lifts the techniques, methodology and attitude off the page and into the very real world of working with patients and clients. Be warned - while Frank is working with his clients, these CD's will be working on you..."

Michael Neill, NLP Master Trainer/Bestselling author on Frank Live in Leeds CD set

"Frank is a solid co-therapist -- not a carbon copy. His core of lovingness is easily apparent and available... He is also a wizard at destroying the meta-communicating bacterium 'why'. A body free of this bug may never be the same again. You've read Groddeck, Eichorn, Redl, Laing, Kopp... Read Farrelly!"

Carl A. Whitaker, M.D., Family Process.

"...your demonstrations of therapy... were really great. I liked your style enormously. All of your expressions of yourself while here were a kind of enlarging and expanding experience, combined with a total buoyancy we all need. Meeting you was the best therapeutic experience I've had in a long time."

O. Spurgeon English, M.D., Temple University Psychiatry Dept., Philadelphia, PA.

"Frank Farrelly... is a really exquisite example of requisite variety."

Richard Bandler and John Grinder, Frogs Into Princes.

What People are saying about Nick Kemp?

"Do you know Nick Kemp? - (he is) exceptionally bright, and I have immensely enjoyed communicating...The kind of exchanges that I have been having... are the kind of activities that I think can really advance the field."

Steve Andreas, NLP Author, Trainer, Developer

"Nick Kemp is what a trainer should be."

Doug O Brien - Master Trainer & Hypnotherapist

"I have known Nick Kemp for a number of years as both personal friend and mentor... no one has done more to promote Frank Farrelly and his highly effective treatment modality of "Provocative Therapy" than Nick Kemp. In 2004 when both myself and Nick met Frank Farrelly for the first time, the only readily available material was the classic 1973 book, "Provocative Therapy." Since that meeting, Nick and Frank have become firm friends and there is no doubt the rest of us have benefitted enormously from this unique relationship. Now with numerous audio and DVD training products produced and promoted by Nick Kemp, Frank Farrelly's work is more readily accessible than ever before. With this is mind, I had the very great pleasure of attending Nick's first "Provocative Change Works™" course in Leeds. Having extensively studied Provocative Therapy and seen Frank work one-to-one sessions live with clients on several occasions, I was astonished at the level of expertise demonstrated on the stage. I have no doubt that with his modelling skills, Nick Kemp has managed to "get" the PT model in its entirety. Watching Nick interact with his clients left me in no doubt that he is the very embodiment of Frank's humour, wit, skill and flexibility. I suspect that anyone familiar with Frank Farrelly's style of working will get that spine tingling sense of familiarity when watching Nick work and that the mantle of Frank's ground breaking work has truly found its lineage, and his experience and dedication to detail makes him one of the best trainers and change work therapists in the UK today."

Andrew T Austin,

Frank Farrelly's Provocative Therapy is one of the most fun and EFFECTIVE ways of helping a client to actually change since, well, ever. Nick Kemp is one of the few people on the planet who really understands what Frank Farrelly is doing in his Provocative Therapy AND CAN TEACH IT TO OTHERS. How do I know this? Because even after reading Frank's books, listening to his recordings and even sponsoring a live Provocative Therapy workshop with him in New York a couple of years ago, I was still in the dark as to what specifically it was Frank was doing and why it worked. When did I start to understand it all? When I sat down with Nick and he explained it to me. Nick has integrated Farrelly's Provocative Therapy with Ericksonian Hypnosis in a unique was that makes the original even better. He calls it Provocative Change Works™. He teaches it in a way that is fun and EASY to implement. YOU will be DOING it before the weekend is over.

Doug O'Brien, Trainer

This training is an opportunity to learn the groundbreaking approaches of Nick Kemp's Provocative Change Works™, which is a creative elaboration of the classic Provocative Therapy strategies developed by Frank Farrelly. The skills you will learn are highly effective in personal development, therapeutic intervention, coaching and business, and even everyday life. There will be lots of interactive demonstrations and the teaching will focus on developing skills and how to integrate these skills into measurable and practical outcomes.

Be in the room while three Master Trainers demonstrate live client sessions with people who have no previous NLP background. After each session, we'll discuss and model what took place, and we'll have an unusual opportunity to hear the trainer's own internal thought-processes, observations, and intuitions that led him in the direction that he chose. While this training is designed to be especially useful for coaches and therapists, some of our participants in this series are business people, teachers, health professionals, etc., who enjoy this opportunity to be part of a training with such depth.

The Format: Most training blocks will begin with a live client demonstration, followed by modeling and discussion of what occurred in the session itself. Also sprinkled in will be a few training segments focused on teaching new material in the NLP field. More to come later...

NOTE: Feedback from last year's AMT showed a lot of interest in more client sessions, plus considerable interest in learning Provocative Change Works™ in more depth. That's why we're making it easy for you to attend both trainings back-to-back in one rich 7-day experience, and we anticipate many participants will be with us for the entire 7 days.

This is will be an introduction to the Provocative Therapy with explanations from an NLP Perspective. I have the great fortune to have trained extensively with Frank Farrelly approved Provocative Therapy and Richard Bandler and am one of the few Farrelly approved Provocative Therapy trainers in the world today. This slot will provide practical exercises to learn the provocative approach and explain a great deal of what Frank does in Provocative Therapy, but doesn't overtly teach. I will also present the Provocative Icon System that is an excellent system for learning this multi layered system of working with clients. We will explore how NLP was influenced by PT which was created over a decade before NLP appeared in the mid 1970s.
