It is 10:30pm on Sunday evening, and I have just finished a 7 day NLP course in Acibadem, a district of Istanbul on the Asian side. I am sitting in a temporary lounge waiting for the 11:30pm flight to Gaziantep to give a 6 day NLP course plus some presentations, which starts tomorrow at 9am.
I think I will get little sleep tonight, having a scheduled arrival time of 1:00am.
Still, I can look back on a really great course. The ladies were a challenge having so many differing characters and learning styles.

It was also strange that on the course was a lady who had worked for the Saudi Arabian Airline, Saudia, back in the late 1980’s, when I was their, and knew some of the training school staff of Saudia that I knew.
Where are you Ivy and Bob Bailey who lived on the same compound as me in Jeddah?
In the NLP course, we covered so much ground, from the history of NLP, anchors, the Meta Model, hypnosis through to the Six Step Reframe and the Fast Phobia Cure.
We had laughter and tears, but all came true at the end, with sad goodbyes, and promises to see each other in the future. I look forward that.
Now, although tired, mentally and physically, needing sleep, it is too quiet.
After all these days of talking, there is no-body to talk with. I tried to contact people, but they must be out enjoying themselves with their friends.
Then I get a call from Mehpare, the sponsor and organiser in Gaziantep, checking that I am on way and OK for the start of another NLP course (click for details) 9am tomorrow.
Talking can be a great thing, even when tired.
