Frank Bourke presented the keynote speech, The NLP Research and Recognition Project: Key learnings from the project and Recommendations to the NLP community, at The Second International NLP Research Conference, Cardiff University, Wales, UK; on July 3, 2010. The full text of the presentation can be found here - Keynote Speech-Wales 2010.
In the keynote Frank highlighted various aspects of the current status of the NLP Research and Recognition Project. He outlined the seven current Research and Organizational Goals for the R and R Project, our progress toward pacing state of the art psychotherapy research, project accomplishments to date, and the possibilities for funding the goals of the project.
In Frank’s heartfelt address he also made several points to the audience of NLP researchers. For instance he called for NLP researchers to complete what he called the “Missing Models”. He said, “Somewhere between my early NLP training in the 70’s and 9/11, I concluded that the founding fathers of NLP had in their study of Milton Erickson, Virginia Satir, and Fritz Perls failed to model two important skills. The first was the high empathy and genuineness, as defined by Carl Rogers, with which the three of them were able to join with their clients. The second was the skill of Fritz Perls in uncovering a clients ego defenses in a fashion that allowed an ecologically sound, genuine, and congruent transition to higher functioning. I believe, the protocols derived from these two models will produce tools for a life marked by personal congruity, integrity and honesty. Nothing we could do would help NLP more, in my estimation, than to discover these and reflect them in our organizations behaviors and daily lives.”
In summary, In his speech Frank discusses the substantial progress the NLP Research and Recognition Project has made so far, makes recommendation for the NLP community to consider, and spells out the direction that the project is moving. For all involved in, and supportive of, the NLP R & R Project, the adventure continues!
