As an Independent Financial Advisor in the UK, I was under the close scrutiny, continual assessment and strict codes of practice enforced by governing bodies that had full legal clout behind them.
If a client was unhappy or had felt they were misled, the full weight of the law could be brought down upon the Company that was responsible.
This doesn't exist in the NLP world!
The so called "Governing Bodies" in the NLP community have no real power, no enforcement and weak assessment. Frankly, you can buy your way up the NLP ladder and become a Trainer even if you've never seen a real live client in your life. So when a student asks them "How have you used this with real clients?", how can they answer honestly? And do you really want to be one of their first ever students?
Here's the truth - I know of one NLP Trainer who, despite allegations against him for child abuse, continues to work exclusively with children. Unbelievable! Ironically, the same individual has set up a fictitious "Institute for NLP Ethics"!!! Hmmm...
Several female clients have complained to me [privately of course] about seduction and hypnosis techniques being used inappropriately, but they're all too scared to challenge the male NLP Trainer doing it. Can you imagine?
I know of 3 so called "Life Coaches" whose experience consists of a 3 day training course and 12 written homework assignments! But will it tell you that on their brochures and websites? I doubt it...
It's no wonder that there are hundreds of people who think NLP is a bit dodgy. AND, they are giving my chosen industry a bad name, and that affects me.
Now you tell me, how can the "powers that be" prevent people like this from practicing?
Do I have a bee in my bonnet about this? Yes I do. However, it's not in my power to stop them. So I'm going to offer you the next best thing...
