Video course · 1 day · Dr. L. Michael Hall
A one-day recorded workshop on leading people by creating meaning, not by giving orders.
When something goes wrong at work, Dr. Hall says look at how the work is set up before you blame a person. After this course you can see why people comply instead of engage, lead from meaning rather than authority, and turn bad news into an early warning your team is willing to give you.

01Why this course
“Leaders are born, not made.”
Dr. Hall treats leadership as something learned, developed and cultivated, and then unleashed.
“Leadership only happens at the top.”
Leadership is needed at every level of an organisation, and in families too, starting with leading yourself.
“Good leaders control people.”
Control gets compliance. Leaders who facilitate and empower win people's minds and hearts, which is where real effort comes from.
“Nobody wants to hear bad news.”
Bad news is a gift. When it cannot travel upward, the people at the top become the most blind to what is really going on.
“People must fully meet their basic needs before they can grow.”
Dr. Hall reads Maslow differently: lower needs only have to be good enough before people can reach for higher ones.
“If people do what they are told, they are engaged.”
Doing what you are told is only compliance, one step above disengaged. He treats full engagement as the real test of leadership.

08The teacher
Founder of Neuro-Semantics
Psychologist, author and trainer. He teaches people how to think, not what to think.
Dr. L. Michael Hall holds a Ph.D. in Cognitive-Behavioral Sciences and is the founder of Neuro-Semantics. He worked as a psychotherapist in private practice for about 20 years, and in 1996 co-founded the International Society of Neuro-Semantics, which trains and certifies coaches and trainers around the world.
For about 40 years he has studied one question: how people create meaning, and how that meaning drives what they feel and do. Out of that work came many books, among them "Mind Lines" and "Figuring Out People", his Meta-Coaching training for professional coaches, and "Thinking for Humans", a set of thinking skills in three groups: essential, creative and executive.
He still teaches live, and every week he writes "Neurons", an article for the Neuro-Semantics community. The courses on this site are recordings of his workshops in Mauritius, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the Philippines: you watch him teach a real group, with the questions and exercises from the room.
Symptoms are problematic, but they're not the problem.
Neuro-Semantics is an approach to personal and professional development that grew out of NLP and General Semantics. It looks at how people create meaning, and how that meaning shapes their thinking, emotions and behavior. Coaches, trainers and individuals use it to think more clearly and to make lasting changes.
