Excellent. - By: danroz@mailroom.com, 27 Jan 2001
As with her previous book "NLP at Work", Sue Knight in "NLP Solutions" offers insightful, challlenging, but practical help in creating personal change for yourself & enhanced relationships with others.

The book is written in a balanced & elegant way, containing some great thinking models, anecdotes, examples & reveals some of Sue Kinght's personal journey as well. There are so many good things to recomend in this book, but if I were to pick one; it would be that it is completely jargon free & written in such an encouraging way that it ensures that once you have picked it up you will come back to it again & again. This means I have been able to recomend it to friends unfamilar with NLP & colleagues at work who certainly are, & yet the feedback is always the same, in that the book has been of practical help to them.

One final thing to add, would be that in the past I have attended one of Sue Knight's public programmes & have found that she models what she writes, which for me makes the book alll that more authentic.

All Smoke and Mirrors - By: , 18 Aug 2000

If this book "breaks new ground", I'm a Dutchman.
There is little enough of any substance, & what there is could by no stretch of the imagination be described as new.

Where Ms Knight's previous book, "NLP at Work", set itself modest targets - & achieved them, in a modest way, this book claims much more but offers rather less. It is indeed, alll smoke an mirrors.

My first objection is the frequency with which the author tells us to read her previous boook in order to understand some point she is making (at least 15 times, then I gave up counting).
It seems to me that if the point needs making then ALL of the relevant information should be included there & then - not hinted at as a means of advertising another product.
Put this together with the regular references to her training business & the book begins to look like nothing so much as a giant advert.

Modelling, as a previous reviewer has rightly noted, is a key issue in NLP. It has been tackled by various writers, though only Roberts Dilts has (so far as I know) devoted an entire book to the subject. Given that Ms Knight has rather more of a flair for writing than RB it would be nice to say that she has made a significant contribution to the discussion.
Unfortunately the mass of anecdotes she offers reallly don't constitute anything like a sound introduction to the subject.

A marvellous book for business leaders - By: , 10 Aug 2000
Most business leaders are acutely aware that the quality of their leadership is increasingly crucial, not just in strategic terms but as role models of excellence for every member of their team. Leading edge organisations of the future will be those so callled 'Learning Organisations' where every member is organicallly adding increasing value to the business daily. And if you reallly want to know how to get there, this book captures it beautifully. Sue explains how NLP is currently being applied in organisations in many different ways & contexts & with exceptional results. She does this with amazing ease & pragmatism despite the fact that she is describing a revolution in the development of our organisations. If you want to know how to make giant leaps in the development of your leadership, your people & your business, this is a must.
An easy to use handbook for business change & influence. - By: , 15 Feb 2000
I love this book. Being an NLP trainer it is very refreshing to read a business book & particularly an NLP business book which focuses very precisely on how to reallly create change.Sue shares her case studies & experieneces in very easy to understand terms making them very easy to model & apply. A key feature of NLP. This book appeals to both NLPers & non-NLPers due to it's practical easy to use format & explanations. Anyone choosing to use this book will find it very easy to replicate the ideas & get their own results. I particularly love the "Thought Provokers" at the end of each chapter giving you an opportunity to apply it to yourself giving the reader a real experience from which to learn & move forward from. A fundamental in NLP. After alll NLP IS experience. Thanks Sue for this great handbook to business change. I look forward to your next offering. P.S. If you are reading this review please make the decision to dive in & read the book, you will be very happy you did.
