The Art of Good Fortune Project

The idea came to me for The Art of Good Fortune, a few years ago during an NLP practice group in Leeds, when one of the delegates asked about manifesting wealth and wanted me to devote a future evening to this theme. As I began to prepare for this future event, it occurred to me that “Good Fortune” was a far more universal concept than simply wealth creation and began to construct some of the themes that would later become the central elements in the beta tester versions of The Art of Good Fortune series of workshops.

We held the first workshop in 2005 with a very small group of only 14 delegates from a wide range of backgrounds. During this event we explored the following areas
  • The power of intention in manifesting outcomes
  • The law of attraction and energy exchange
  • The development of decision making strategies
  • The principal of “connection” when applied to the sense of identity
  • Individual and group definitions of Good Fortune

These workshops were (and still are) by invitation only and the purpose of a “beta tester workshop” was to gather information that would later become a more formally structured event.

In May 2006 I ran an updated and more accelerated version of this event with 38 delegates and included these additional elements

  • Harnessing the power of colour in visualisation

  • The use of constructed sound

 Those invited came from a wide range of backgrounds, and included NLP trainers, business people, teachers, doctors and other diverse professions. A condition of attendance included completing a series of exercises ahead of attending the event and an agreement not to disclose the content of the event to others.

Feedback from the 2006 event

“It was extremely interesting overall, particularly the metals, colours and shapes. The most useful thing for me was clarifying my overall goals, and getting a true shape in place that I can follow.

It was like rocket fuel, it put the energy and intention behind my good wishes to give me a kick start into reality. I have now rented an office in central Brighton to do my therapy from, I've also been booked for a 2 day mini-cruise as the onboard holistic therapist (to give educational talks and taster sessions), I'm seeing more clients, I've got a partner now and we are working out workshops and maybe a franchise and I've got a well paid 2-month 4-day a week contract in an office, with a potential long-term contract to do NLP and project work as well as PA'ing there.  These things move quickly once you put the energy behind them.

I would definitely recommend the course to anyone, and will jump at the chance of being involved in any future workshops.”

“Even though I had already done lots of NLP "The art of good fortune" enabled me to see things in a new light and experience some amazing new stuff! A great day and a big thank you to Nick and the assistants Sue & Mark.”

Having studied NLP with Nick, I knew his Art Of Good Fortune seminar was going to be a cracker. I had no idea what to expect, as I knew it would be rather different to NLP. It was particularly interesting analysing what Good Fortune means to me and finding out how my interpretation differs to other students, all the while knowing that no one interpretation or strategy is right or wrong. The question that loomed over my head was... "Can good fortune be reproduced?". Now that it's been a couple of months, I can wholeheartedly answer "yes". A contract extension, a payrise, a VISA approval are just some of the successes i've had recently. Not to mention all the amazing new personal development distinctions i've made since the day.

Truly Highly Recommended! 10/10.

In January 2007 I will be running the third beta tester version of this event, before creating an event for the public and a series of products.
