[Neurons] 2013 Innovation Contest Results

[L. Michael Hall]

From: L. Michael Hall

 

We began an Innovations Contest in the field of Neuro-Semantics in 2012.
Because we have so many very creative people in this field --- and because
we want to avoid the lack of support for Innovation in the field of NLP ---
the leadership team decided in 2011 that we would run a contest and support,
recognize, and honor those who are expanding this field.

 

We are also preparing a new button under "Writings" on
www.neurosemantics.com for putting the patterns and things that are
innovated.  In a month or so--- you will find most of the contributions on
the website.

 

In 2013 we had 6 people who had introduced innovations into Neuro-Semantics:

1)   Sue Anderson's book on bullying, Unbullyable
-- Australia

2)   Dina Marais website program on Self-Coaching, www.coachingself.com --
South Africa

3)   Tim Goodenough's pattern: Super Charging Your Lightning Rod Movie
-- South Africa

4)   Patrik Fordell's presentation of  The System of Neuro-Semantics
-- Sweden

5)   Jason Chor Hang Kong' s  Self-Actualizing Peak Safety Performance in a
Large Scale Project

n  Hong Kong

6)   Hossam Aldin Nabil's pattern: Living in the Present
-- Egypt

 

The challenge for the leadership team was to pick among them--- and as a
result every single one got many votes for each of the positions, first,
second and third!   So lots of very valuable contributions and innovations.
For the patterns--- Tim's, Patrik's, and Hossam's --- we will put those on
the website.  All were really well done and very difficult to choose among.
And that's what we want!

 

It's now my pleasure to announce that the top three in 2013 are these:

 

1)   Sue Anderson's book, Unbullyable

2)   Patrik Fordell       --- The System of Neuro-Semantics

3)   Tim Goodenough  --  Super Charging Your Lightning Rod Movie

 

And with that the 2014 Innovation Contest begins!

NEURO-SEMANTIC GOLD MEDAL CONTEST

 

Because Neuro-Semantics is about Actualizing Excellence and because
Neuro-Semantic NLP is centered in modeling, creativity and innovation has to
be at the heart of our focus.  That's why one of the Self-Actualization
Workshops is Unleashing Creativity and Innovation and prior to that "The
Developer's Training."  Now we have another process for encouraging ongoing
creativity.  So with this post we are announcing a Contest that we will run
in 2012 and each year thereafter.

The contest is for the pattern, model, book, or product that contributes the
most to Neuro-Semantics.
