I have known David H for many years, meeting him regularly at Institute of Career Guidance conferences, taking part in his workshops or just listening to his enthusiasm and motivations for NLP and how to get people to believe in their own potential.
Most of my own work involves motivating prisoners and ex-offenders to believe they have skills and abilities that will support them to reintegrate back into the community in a positive way, to find employment and also to learn. I believe these activities can help people who have negative experiences of education and who consider themselves unemployable. Many of the activities will enable them to realise that they have skills to offer employers and also the ability to learn new things. Enabling people to realise they have potential, which helps them to cope with whatever is thrown at them, is very powerful.
Many prisoners and ex-offenders see themselves as a product of their environment. “I didnt want to be a product of my environment” I want my environment to be a product of me, will work very powerfully on them.
What I have enjoyed most of all is the introductions and explanations to the four suits and each activity. The information makes you smile and gives you confidence to go and have a go with different activities. It is like a ready reckoner of activities that can be easily integrated into any lessons or training programmes.
