A Lesson From The 18th Century

Up until the 18th century, maps were often decorated with symbols of beasts and monsters, at the expense of accurate details about places. The thought of beasts and monsters kept people stuck.

Today we live in a world of increasingly complexity, where there are maps of maps. Facts themselves are brought into question. Upgrade gives you the skills to read and navigate people’s map and models like an expert cartographer – giving you the skills to navigate the complex world of problems and ideas that life presents.

Most people struggle with complexity, ambiguity. They look to other people to tell them what they should think. The struggle to penetrate beyond the surface to identify the issues that create the biggest results. Upgrade gives you the

Introducing

Discipline 1:

Listen Like A Master

Before one can think and penetrate problems like an NLP master, one has to be able to really perceive and listen like a master…

But be warned, I’m NOT talking about some kind of ‘active listening’ ordinary folks use.

So what’s the difference? When NLP Masters listen, they don’t just hear the words, they hear the structures behind the content. The structures that bind a person’s ‘reality’ in place.

This skill is sorely missing among many in NLP and makes a huge difference to your ability to thinking well and think quickly on your feet.

NLP Masters’ hear the strategies, submodalities, metaprograms etc. behind the client’s content. By listening for how the person is structuring their communication they can discover how the speaker has managed to hold the problem in place and critically, what needs to change for the issue to be transformed.

And that’s where the magic starts.

In Upgrade you’ll learn to perceive and listen in ways you currently can’t do today.

You’ll learn:

What masters mean when they say “listen to what isn’t being said”

The real secrets for how masters are able to work so skillfully and quickly to identify the real issues and change them.

How to listen for people’s ‘unconscious markers’ that reveal so much and expose so many ways to intervene and generate killer questions

How to detect the 2 universal unconscious patterns people use to express their problems which almost everyone misses but instantly reveal to you how to help them...

How to quickly classify what people say so you can generate hypotheses and insights. When you get this skill, it’s like someone has flicked on the lights in your mind. You see possibilities to question and move effortlessly around people’s maps in ways you’ve never known before...

How you can identify the class of strategies a person uses to maintain a situation without ever having to do a formal ‘strategy elicitation’ – really powerful!

Instantly access information that sits outside people’s conscious awareness – which dramatically affects your ability to help them.

The little known listening secrets used by elite masters that accelerates how quickly you can generate BIG WINS for clients! (Never again will you say to yourself: ‘I don’t know what question to ask next’ when you know this secret!)

Why making mistakes loudly works far better than how most people practice NLP!

The ‘mission critical’ listening skill used by NLP Masters. How they use it to promptly zero in on how a person is creating their inner world so they can rapidly change it, and how you can use this simple method too.

Why the world’s best NLPers don’t use the Meta Model like it is taught in books or practitioner and master practitioner trainings. And how you can use the Meta Model far, far better too even if you’ve been using it for 20+ years.

The different types of information you must listen out for if you want to be able to help clients with Richard Bandler, Michael Breen or Tony Robbins like skill…

The 4 questions elite NLP masters use to organize their thinking and generate killer questions every time.

How mental filters are created and profoundly shape a person’s decision strategies. Learn how to detect and influence these and deep generative change becomes possible…

Discipline 2:

Pattern What’s Most Important

By listening really well you now have a bunch of data, but what does it all mean? And how can you turn that data into an intelligence to guide the questions, actions and decisions you make?

This is where learning to pattern like a master comes in. In this part of the course Michael reveals the secrets of how masters chunk, parse and classify what someone says (and what’s missing!) in such a way that you can quickly dial in on the heart of the issue.

This skill is tremendously useful in any context where your help, manage or lead others – to help them solve problems, generate ideas or setup more useful patterns of behavior.

You’ll learn:

Quick wins - How to parse and classify information so it leads to insights…

How to get through to people who don’t listen! Discover why attention is not just receptive and how this has huge implications on how you help them. People who don’t know this secret (and practice it) will quickly find their suggestion/recommendation get rejected, even if they are making the right ones. Don’t let this happen to you.

Why it’s so important to move beyond tracking individual language patterns to understanding how specific patterns, meta-programs and strategies function within an overall system to create specific feelings, thoughts and actions. When you can pattern like this, all other influence, persuasion and changes work becomes so much easier!

How to uncover what is really driving a person’s behaviors. Pattern this information early on and you instantly discover powerful unconscious patterns that drive a person’s life, which you can leverage to create profound changes.

Why Richard Bandler spends up to two-thirds of his time doing one thing which most NLPers blindly ignore! Get this right and figuring out WHAT to do becomes so obvious. (Really!)

The 3 questions every master of NLP have asked and answered for themselves … that dabblers and students who struggle to master NLP do not. Answer these questions well and you can 10X the speed by which you become really good.

The ‘Z-AXIS’ completely missed by students of the Meta Model that you should be tracking – if you want to be generate insights and results much quicker…

How to quickly calibrate to a person’s map or model of the world (no matter how complex) so you identify how they think, what motivates them, where they are stuck and what needs to change so you can design interventions that get them moving fast.

The near-psychic way to read people’s minds, hopes and fears. When you master this skill asking great questions becomes easy, people will remark at what an incredible listener you are who asks REALLY good questions

The fastest way to discover the organizing game-rules that dictate the choices a person makes (or won’t make)… giving you invaluable information about what they will and won’t do. HUGE time saver.

Finally be able to detect how a person is structuring their thoughts… when you can hear how people structure their thoughts, you can help them swiftly change how they think and feel… (So powerful and instantly elevates you in their eyes.)

The ONE thing you must do early that dramatically cuts down the amount of time it takes you to think your way through a problem or help a client. Plus much more.

As you refine your ability to listen and pattern like a master, Michael will shift focus to…

Discipline 3:

How To Think Clearly

(Even When All About You Are Losing Their Heads!)

Upgrade isn’t just a program to greatly develop and enhance your mental software, it’s a course that makes people far better LEADERS.

When people have problems they turn to us. Whether we can help them comes down to our ability to think well and not get lost in the content. Two skills which most people, if we’re honest, suck at.

Most people when they hear the story of a client’s problem, get sucked into the content, right?

Be honest, has this ever happened you?

Don’t worry, it happens the best of us. But we can’t let a client’s content get in the way.

That’s why in Upgrade Michael Breen will show you how to upgrade your ability to think clearly, to navigate ambiguity and handle the messy complexity that shows up time and again in how people express themselves and their problems.

You’ll learn:

How to think on your feet so can add value quickly, solve the real problem and get the rewards you deserve.

How to eliminate ‘client resistance’ and ‘client pushback’. Just follow this process and they’re like putty in your hands.

How NLP masters work with Meta programs, Strategies and Sub-modalities to quickly identify what needs to change and how to change it…

How to 10X the power of the Meta Model by combining it with Michael’s ‘GPS’ system (aka the Framing Tool) so you never get lost or wonder what’s your next move.

Why using Michael’s Framing Tool first before choosing a Meta Model pattern can be so much more powerful if you want to create breakthroughs quicker for yourself or others.

How the way you use the Meta Model varies greatly on this ONE key thing that master NLPers rely on to make changes quickly that less experienced NLPers almost never use.

The 5-Step change process behind every successful change. Know this and never get lost again when trying to figure out where you are in the change process…

A really smart way to deal with those tricky situations where someone doesn’t know what they want by leveraging one of the most underused (but super important) patterns from the Meta Model.

How to change and transform problems in elegant ways with no overt NLP visible at all.

Discipline 4:

Separate Signal from Noise

The reason anyone pays attention to what you have to say is because of the perspective you offer

How to get access to a totally different class of information about any problem, circumstance, or situation that 99.9% of folks completely miss. This may the most important skill that separates true MASTERS of NLP vs folks with dozens of certifications…

How masters of the Meta Model and Framing Tool are able to generate strong hypotheses early on which they use to create really clever interventions.

The best state Michael recommends students put themselves in when using the Meta Model and Framing Tool with others so you can generate powerful results.

The simple mental move masters use every single day with every single client to stay 3 steps ahead and always have a next move. Works incredibly well – especially useful for those ‘tricky problems’ and ‘challenging clients.’

Say goodbye to using the Meta Model in a ‘call and response’ fashion (like most NLPers) and hello to using the Meta Model expertly and invisibly.

The surprising truth about limitations that 99% of people complete miss.

Genius! Discover how strategies, meta-programs and submodalities function and are represented within the Meta Model and Framing Tool… No one else (except a handful of elite NLP masters) have been privy to this kind of deep applications of these tools.

How to work with the unconscious cognitive processes human beings use to make decisions and evaluate options – so you can guide them to make sound decisions.

The truth about what the Meta Model and Framing Tool actually do that 99.9% of NLPers don’t know. When you understand this secret, it makes getting results with others so much easier.

Why you should NEVER do this with the Framing Tool if you want to use it like a pro, yet so many students still do! (Use the meta)

How to use the Framing Tool with the Strategies Model to quickly and elegantly rewire unhelpful behaviors and install new strategies.(Michael reveals his go-to moves for the 1st time.)

Discipline 5:

Communicate To Create Impact

Having a great insight, suggestion or recommendation is all for nothing if you lack the ability to communicate that suggestion, idea or question in such a way that it creates impact – literally moves people to action.

That’s why the fifth discipline you’ll learn throughout Upgrade is how to communicate so that it creates impact and action.

You’ll learn:
