Do You Lack Confidence in Business Networking Situations?

Business networking is key, especially for the self-employed sole trader.  However, being good or earnest in your field of work does not necessarily mean you are good in sharing your interest to others or inquiring about what they do.  While a certain social skill is necessary when listening to something in which you have no interest and trying to politely escape, being confident enough to go along in the first place and open up to strangers is a challenge for many of us.

Perhaps you even dread the idea?

There is plenty of advice on the "how" of networking ie working the room, collecting business cards rather than just handing them out to people who smile politely but file them in the waste bin the next day and becoming a connector who introduces people, rather than just touting for their own business.

I found this online course http://www.kintish.co.uk/store/e-learning/ which contains four elements for £79.95.  

But before you reach the "how", you need the confidence to walk in and feel comfortable.  "Feel good in your own skin" as they say.  Then there is fear of rejection, fear of failure and fear of the unknown to overcome.  All perfectly normal and understandable but annoying as they will hold you back from this wonderful medium of promoting your business.  

I can help you boost your confidence generally or more specifically in an area such as business networking confidence.  I do this with the powerful tool of hypnosis.

Hypnosis?  Don't worry.  It's perfectly safe and natural.  You allow yourself to enter a deeply relaxed state both mentally and physically and remain in control at all times.  

Using hypnosis for improved business networking confidence is not about positive thinking but about making change at the deep subconscious or unconscious level where all permanent change must take place.  That is the part of your mind, the 90-95% part of your mind, where your fears and niggling voices live, telling you that "you can't...."  Of course you can when you retrain this part of you.  It's easy, quick and very effective.

The very best way to do this is for me to help you one-to-one at my practice in Portsmouth, Hampshire on the southern coast of England.  I do sometimes see clients in London or Brussels, Belgium and clients fly in from other countries for my help.

Another way to help is to listen to a download hypnosis mp3 on business networking confidence.  It only costs a few US Dollars which you can pay in your currency via credit card.  You can listen to it when the time suits you.

On the same page of the website, you will find a list of other business-related subjects which hypnosis can also help.  Selecting two or more titles entitles you to a discount.

You don't have to dread business networking meetings.  With my help, or listening to this download hypnosis mp3 on business networking confidence, you will actually enjoy the meetings and find them productive in the growth of your business.  

By the way, I love helping people overcome their fear of public speaking, whether in small groups or to large audiences.  You might dread being asked to give a short presentation on yourself at a business networking meeting.  I used to be very shy and blush but improving my self-confidence through self-hypnosis has helped me enormously.  Now I welcome the opportunity to speak to groups, large or small, on hypnosis and personal development subjects.  If you have an issue with speaking in meetings or presentations, I can certainly help you.

No Smoking Day 50

I have just received an email from a 62 year old man who came to see me to stop smoking in one session:

“I thought I would let you know I am now on day 50, smoke free!  I am amazed how easy it was/is to give up after over 40 years.  Even in the presence of smokers (who sometimes maliciously offer me a cigarette) it doesn’t bother me, but makes me even more determined.”

My STOP SMOKING IN ONE SESSION technique works time and time again because I include several elements which I consider necessary for immediate results and long-term success.

I want to ensure that new non-smokers are not troubled by other people's smoke, are not tempted by their "still smoking friends", do not replace the smoking habit with over-eating and have lost the addiction to nicotine completely.

Trying to give up smoking by using nicotine replacement patches, gum or tablets still keeps you addicted to nicotine.  In fact nicotine chewing gum has now been linked to mouth & throat cancer.

"Hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking, according to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit. Willpower, it turns out, counts for very little". (New Scientist, Volume 136 issue 1845 31 Oct 1992, page 6)

There are so many reasons why stopping smoking is the right decision to take whether for your health, your appearance, setting the right example to your children, giving you a substantial pay rise - the list goes on.  Maybe you are feeling the effects of damaging your lungs when doing exercise, your skin is ageing a bit too fast, you notice your white ceilings aren't quite so white any more or see people flinch to move away from you because you reek of stale smoke.   Sorry to be blunt but smokers have no idea how bad they smell to non-smokers and we don't want the stench on our clothes and hair if we visit you.

For whatever reason you first started to smoke, there are plenty of better reasons to stop.

If you really want to stop and are now ready, call me because I give results.  I'm not the cheapest but I'm also not the most expensive.  I do guarantee you this - the relatively small investment of my fee compared to years of smoking costs will be the best investment in yourself you can possibly buy.

I am based near Portsmouth in Hampshire on the south coast of England.  I can also arrange to see clients for stop smoking in London or Brussels.  My international clients find me convenient to reach with Southampton Airport just 13 miles away or a train ride from London Gatwick Airport.  Visit my site http://www.antoniaharrison.com/Hypnotherapy.html

Simon Cowell Uses Hypnosis to Kick Smoking Addiction

Simon Cowell has been lighting up for 44 years and is doing all he can to quit smoking.

The X Factor boss's loved ones have begged him to cut down his 15-cigarettes-a-day habit because of his family's health history.

'His grandfather Robert was a heavy smoker who died of lung cancer,' a source tells People.

'His father suffered a heart attack.

'It made Simon think long and hard about his own health now.'

The 52-year-old has admitted that he started smoking at the age of 8 and just last year raved about how much he enjoys it.

But Simon has made a New Year resolution for 2012 and is now receiving treatment - including hypnosis - from a top London medical centre.

Research Shows Effectiveness of Hypnosis

(NaturalNews) The effectiveness of hypnosis is often questioned because the cause of hypnotic phenomenon is not yet known. Research has been conducted on hypnosis for hundreds of years. Thousands of studies have been performed, yet the origination of hypnosis has not yet been realized. The Mayo Clinic has found hypnosis to be very effective and beneficial with a variety of disorders. Hypnosis does not always work the same way for everyone, but its effectiveness cannot be denied.

The Mayo Clinic defines hypnosis as being an altered state of consciousness. There are many changes that occur while a person is in a trance-like state. A person is able to focus their attention in a more direct way while under hypnosis. People are also more open to suggestion, which often helps people make changes in their thought process and in their actions. While in a hypnotic state, people tend to be less critical and more believing. The Mayo Clinic believes that the purpose of hypnosis is a therapeutic technique to help you understand and gain more control over your behavior, actions, emotions, or physical well-being.

Researchers and doctors at the Mayo Clinic are not sure how exactly hypnosis works, but current research points to a mind-body connection through nerves, hormones, and chemicals in the brain and body. Hypnosis is best used in conjunction with other forms of therapy. The Mayo Clinic lists the following benefits of hypnosis: changing negative habits (stop-smoking), reduce stress and anxiety, control pain, relieve irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), lower blood pressure, reduce frequency and intensity of migraines, treat asthma, and heal skin disorders.

The Mayo Clinic also puts many hypnosis myths to rest. Many people think that under hypnosis, they will have no free will. This is untrue; under hypnosis people have a heightened state of concentration, but they are in complete control. Another myth is that a hypnotherapist can control people under hypnosis. The truth is that a hypnotherapist serves as a guide and cannot make anyone do something that they do not want to do. It is also not true that people can become hypnotized without consent. Hypnosis involves a person`s willingness to participate (Goal Oriented Hypnotherapy).

The Mayo Clinic is a one of the leaders in research in the medical field. Their research of hypnotherapy is evidence-based (Hypnosis). They are a reputable source of information on the topic of hypnotherapy and medicine.

Hypnosis Effective at Helping People to Stop Smoking

Hypnosis is probably most famous for helping people to stop smoking, recently Matt Damon even testified to the benefits of quitting smoking; he told Jay Leno that he visited a hypnotist and it worked:

"I went to a hypnotist... It worked. I swear to god it worked. It was the greatest decision I ever made in my life!" - Matt Damon on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno

The research into this area of hypnotherapy is very solid, again it not only shows a massively increased success rate when using hypnosis to help you to stop smoking, but it points to hypnosis as the most effective form of smoking cessation therapy (with a higher success rate than nicotine patches / gum etc):

Hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking

In 1992 the University of Iowa conducted a meta-analysis of studies using different methods to try and help people to quit smoking. This was the largest ever scientific comparison - looking at more than 600 studies which contained 72,000 people in total, from America and Europe. They found that on average, hypnosis was over three times as effective as nicotine patches or nicotine replacement methods and 15 times as effective as trying to quit alone, and concluded that hypnosis is by far the most effective way of giving up smoking.

90.6% Success rate when using hypnosis to stop smoking

The University of Washington medical school conducted a study where they used hypnosis on 43 patients to help them stop smoking. Of the 43 consecutive patients undergoing hypnosis, 39 reported remaining abstinent from tobacco use at follow-up (up to 3 years post-treatment). Barber concluded that hypnosis is an extremely effective way to quit smoking and this study represents a 90.6% success rate using hypnosis.

81% Stopped smoking after hypnosis

30 patients were referred by their doctor to Texas A&M University for treatment to help them stop smoking. Of this group 21 patients returned and were given 3 sessions of hypnosis for smoking cessation. Results showed that immediately after treatment 81% of patients reported that they had stopped smoking. Then in a followup 12 months later 48% of these patients reported that they were still not smoking. Elkins GR and Rajab MH concluded that hypnosis was indeed a statistically significant method of helping people to stop smoking.
