A summary of the content in each chapter:

The Personality of a Modeller – culled from not just modelling our top Modellers, but also drawing from other explorers and innovators. This goes on to explore how modellers develop and how the idea of a Call to Action can be the trigger for significant projects.

The Principles of Modelling – covering our Constructivist heritage, connections with neuroscience and the principle sources of influence which informed the early development.

The Processes of Modelling – offering an integrated framework which holds THIRTEEN different modelling methodologies available to us, divided into their respective categories, with a detailed description of each.

The Skills of Modelling – exploring the advanced skills involved in the modelling process, from the start of the relationship with the exemplar, through the information gathering process, to the model and then technique construction.

The Results of Modelling – initially addressing a highly flexible pathway for modelling activity and an innovative framework of Intervention, followed by a whole range of practical examples of modelling being used in Business, Training, Coaching, and Therapy. Then we drive down into the classification of models, going on to the nitty gritty requirements of model construction – one of the major missing pieces in the study of modelling.

The Formal Acquisition Process – This is the final piece: constructing imaginative, bespoke techniques which are key to converting the digital information within the model back into glorious analogue of experience. This is where our great technology of Neurological and Linguistic Frames have a field day. All rounded off with packaging the gift into dynamic written instructions.

This is all topped off with a worked Case Study from the data gathering start to the final technique finish, followed by an extensive Index.

AND this is not all! Whilst The Bumper Bundle Book of Modelling is in effect a textbook, seeking to expand knowledge and generate ideas, The Bumper Bundle Companion Workbook (£15.00) provides the backup skill development. Here you have over 75 taxing and imaginative exercises that really make you think and test the integration of your learning, accompanied by in-depth suggested answers to coach your thinking further. You’ll not find this breadth and depth on any advanced or applied NLP training programme!

I have been really indebted to the support I have received along the way, especially for the insightful big chunk editing from David Gordon, with Jenny Thomas working tirelessly on the details. Early this year I sent out manuscripts to the various modellers who have been instrumental in my development. James Lawley was great in his response. He loved the title and the fact that I was offering a Red Bus Tour where you can get on and get off wherever you want. He really liked the Intervention Framework and even some of the insights I had regarding David Grove’s work. “It’s great to see the fruits of your modelling modellers coming to fruition. How wonderful that the vision you had all those years ago has resulted in this bumper book. At last an NLP book that champions what I call ‘modelling pluralism’. You will have to take my word for all the smiles and warm fuzzes I felt while reading the draft. I have only marked a few in my comments but I could have added dozens more.” So if you want to find out what has warmed James’ enthusiasm, place an order for a copy of one or both books.

All the best and Keep Modelling!
