The one about watching the guy use blank paper to buy a wedding ring

I bought a new car this weekend, a 2012 Nissan Altima.  Nice car.  Lot of money I didn’t really want to spend.

More on that later.  It kind of looks like this one.

Programming people behavior

Is anyone in the HR area using neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) techniques at work?   Not sure how valid it is for the workplace, but what I saw on YouTube this weekend makes it quite fascinating and something I would like to know more about from a communications standpoint.

What I watched was some short videos of a guy named Darren Brown. Darren is very skilled at using NLP and hypnosis techniques.   He is all over the web, and seems to perform mostly in the United Kingdom doing his schtick.  In this video, he uses nothing but his voice and suggestion to convince people to take blank paper from him rather than money to pay for items large and small.

Take a look. It’s really unbelievable.  I think I am going to sign up for one the many NLP training class webinars I get.
