Derren Brown
Although Derren Brown is most famous for his fascinating television shows broadcast in the UK, he has a solid
reputation for his unequaled development of NLP and hypnosis. In fact, Derren’s effortless demonstration of NLP
to manipulate the thoughts of his guest stars was what got me interested in NLP in the first place! Derren Brown
actually has a flexible view of NLP which is similar to my own. Rather than adhering to rigid methods set out by
NLP’s original creators, Derren uses wordplay that works well and has adapted a lot of NLP techniques to make
them work a bit more seamlessly. It is for this reason that Derren’s methods are my chosen schema for the
techniques on this website. They work the best. It’s as simple as that. How inspirational is this Guru?

John La Valle
John La Valle One of the World’s most respected corporate consultants and the co-author of ‘Persuasion
Engineering’ with Richard Bandler.”When I first became interested in NLP, it was quite by accident. I came
across a one day basic introduction program and was wowed in the first hour. As soon as I could, I attended
my first Practitioner program. I quickly figured how best to adapt the technology of NLP into business
applications. Since then, I have personally trained with most of the ‘major players’ in the field in the 1980’s.
I met Richard Bandler early in my training and his attitude and skill appealed to me. He could get results!
Being a bottom line business person, I liked that! No fluff, no theories, just get down to it and change!
I liked it. What I found most interesting was the fact that I could get results in the business arena.
I am still in contact with a lot of my corporate clients across the globe, many of whom have seen their
business multiply year after year. They still bring me in for ‘tune-ups’ from time to time. They hire better
people, promote the right ones, train differently and even manage differently. Ultimately they lower their
costs and increase profits. That’s the bottom line! People have asked me what the turning point was for me
in my own training. Well the first thing was the moment I realized that it’s not just enough to want, but
then to do. Stepping across that line and just going for it! The second was realizing how powerful language
is and how easily we can change behaviour using just language. How inspirational is this Guru?
