I am not the star of the show

I have put my thoughts down in the articles I am like a theatre and I am a theatre on tour, and I would like to add some advice I had from a great American Stage Hypnotist and trainer, Jerry Valley whom I learned such a lot from, enabling me to become a Stage Hypnotist myself.

He said that the performer, the actor, the trainer is not the star of the show, it is the audience, the participants who are the stars.

If ever the person on stage, the Stage Hypnotist, the leader, the trainer, ever becomes the star, then the show is over.

It is an idea that I have taken into all my trainings, courses, presentations.

I am not the star.

I may be the leader, the person the people or participants follow on their journey of learning. I may be the guide, but that is all I am. I must take the people on a journey, using whatever may be in my toolbox of training and communication skills to paint a picture so that they can understand what is being said and that they can make the changes they seek, to place and install what has been taught  into their lifestyle.

Some people may appreciate my style of imparting information, others may not. Some people like jazz music, some people like opera. There is a place for all styles, and to experience different styles can give us choice, perhaps being a jazz fan and experiencing opera for the first time will enhance the appreciation of jazz, perhaps listening to opera for the first time will enable you to become equally a jazz and opera fan at the same time, perhaps listening to opera for the first time will mean that opera becomes the preferred style, or perhaps it means that opera becomes a type of music that will be never visited again. But now you have choice. 

I know that I have touched many hearts in my journey, and that I have helped people to gain and change, so I am looking forward to the future to meet many more, in many more countries, being able to offer many styles of training.
