Synopsis
A podcast for those wanting personal development but want it made simple and easy to understand and more importantly use, take action and make a difference to your life and the world you live in.If you want to change the way you feel and the way you act and react. If you have negative emotions, behaviours, that you want to lose forever and create something special in your life then I think you will like what you hear.This genre of self-improvement, self-development and mastery of your mind has, I believe, been made over complicated and secretive and here I am de-constructing the processes into their simple forms that we can all understand and easily use. Theres no interviews just little ol me ;0)Who am I and what do I do?Paul Clough.I now love helping making changes in people and guiding them to create the life they really want. A personal look at me: The above sentence was not always the case and being the best in the financial realms of the building industry was my aim and getting there by any means. I now know this is, and was, the worst way ~ even if I did make director of one of the largest building companies in Cambridge by the age of 30. One of the major realisations came on my first ever training in hypnosis. I found that its not a win lose world and that a win win is only a low basis to live. Being true to your beliefs and coming from a place of integrity where service is paramount. This understanding together with lots of NLP skills helped create my last partnership in the building industry grow from a turnover of £800k to £16m in less than twelve years and that can only be done with giving more than expected. Another shaping of me came from two traumatic events in my life that happened within six months of each other which created a number of major changes in me and by beliefs in what is possible. I have written about my experience and how I dealt with it but more importantly it really showed me my love for my three boys and theirs for me and resulted in the step up to become a trainer of NLP (which I never intended) and my close and exciting work with two of my sons. In supporting Joseph and help create change in people in our trainings and his wonderful life changing Be your potential weekend and with Luke the continuing development of Cambridge Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis processes. My relationship with my third son Daniel just keeps getting better and better too. Not knowing how good I had become in change work in the beginning I generally studied, practiced and saw clients then things started to happen when I started to work following just my instincts. Two clients come to mind both in effect dying from the effects of what was happening to them and the way they felt and within one and two sessions respectively not only won the will to live they changed virtually in front of my eyes and being apart of that process was and is the best feeling alive. The above are just three of many brilliant learnings I have had in my life.The more formal bit Paul CloughI am a Trainer and Master Practitioner of NLP and Hypnosis and am passionate in assisting those who want to reach their full potential and his special skills form a unique foundation for success. I constantly seek and develope new skills and learnings through advanced levels of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Time Line Therapy , Hypnosis and to improve everyone I work with.I have an understanding of the mind/body connection which enables me to create in my clients the difference that makes the difference ~ from excellence to outstanding.For those that want qualifications:Certified Trainer and Consultant of Neuro-Linguistic ProgrammingCertified Master Practitioner of NLP & Time Line TherapyCertified Master Hypnotist and HypnotherapistTogether with Luke and Joseph I have consistently strived and succeeded to create ways to improve peoples lives and give new beliefs of whats possible.

# 179 ATOTBO -How To Be the Best You
23/05/2020 Duration: 33minATOTBO -How to be the best you With a nice process thrown in to boot! I had a wonderful Ah-Ha moment about 18 years ago that changed the way I worked with my clients and because of it, and the success that ensued for them, it stuck with me. In fact, it IS the way I work. So what was this thing that happened? Well I'll start with that story, a moment that went from inner panic to complete self-confidence and I'll explain with examples the effect it has had on me. The thing is it isn't just working with clients because as you know, we, our unconscious minds, have a wonderful ability to generalize stuff (good and the not so good), this now affects the way I approach other issues in my life too. So much so, I offer just one of many ways in the form of a lovely process that you can use to deal with such things as criticism, or changing your negative behaviors such as anger, etc. that's triggered by situations and you would like to react better. Hell, it would also work for a newbie therapist to get into the zone a

FMQ 297 Come for a walk and learn to connect
06/05/2020 Duration: 19minCome for a walk and learn to connect The ultimate process for connecting with everything We've learned how to make perfect footprints in the sand in a previous episode "Perfect Footprints - A Way To Center" a little while back (If you haven't caught that you really should it's so useful right now) and now we get to expand that process into something I think is quite special. Don't worry if you did miss that previous episode you can listen to this one first and then, if you choose, can go back into the recent archives - you may be surprised what little nuggets of gold you have missed :O) It's not hypnosis but you do need to be undisturbed for just a few minutes and if possible outside in nature but that's not an absolute requirement as once learned you can do it anywhere that suits you. Let me know what you experience and how good it was And...... Please share this episode and this podcast in general to a couple of friends (every day) and let's grow a community of personal development Unpluggers that will mak

#175 Have Any Feeling You Want
02/05/2020 Duration: 24minHave Any Feeling You Want Have any state you want - Now Would it be important to you, any value to you, to be able to change your current state to one that would be better more appropriate more successful to your desired outcome? - You Bet! And you can with the natural process of anchoring (That's an NLP term). Because it's a natural powerful phenomenon it's highly effective and you guessed it, powerful. I talk abt it a lot and use it all the time with my clients and in these podcasts and I don't think I've really explained how to do it and how t use them. In fact the next longer podcast, about loneliness, has a number of ways in which we can really use anchoring to change that feeling of loneliness. It's fun, it's easy, it's simple (and in simplicity there's genius) and highly effective and in this podcast not only will we go through the process, I will be getting you to feel confident, I'll also explain how I used it to grow my business in a previous life :O) So let's go down this rabbit hole together and l

After a lot of painting, painting, and more painting and quite a few MaD WoRld podcasts to help us through this mad time, I have finally started something - A project.

#174 The BIG BUT
25/04/2020 Duration: 49minThe BIG BUT This episode of the Personal Development Unplugged podcast was inspired by the way I was feeling as I journaled this morning. It lead to an outpouring of words onto my pages prompted by my questioning on how I was feeling. And even though I hate a but, there was a BIG BUT which seemed to take me into a process of alignment which I share with you within this episode. The process originated from one of the leaders of NLP and seemed to flow with what I was feeling and what I wanted/needed and I think you will find it as worthwhile as I did. I will be making a full-blown hypnosis track of the process and if you have signed up to have access to all my free hypnosis tracks (now over 45 tracks) you will receive an email when it's available. If you haven't yet signed up go to www.paulcloughonline.co./podcast The process is a little trancey so make sure you have nothing that requires your attention, it will be worth it. Enjoy becoming aligned and congruent with who you are and where you're going - Your Ult

# 173 A Sense of Purpose Hypnotically
22/04/2020 Duration: 27minA Sense of Purpose - Hypnotically Using this time we have given, wisely is a big load to carry. If we waste it we will be in the land of 'Shoulder and wished id' and that would be a disaster, my friend. Well, that was my thinking this morning after my morning journaling. I began to look for one of my notebooks and found a different one which, when I opened to a page it was a great mind map I can sort of remember doing but not really. It had just what I wanted and gave me a purpose to do this podcast for you (and for me as I'm always honest) It is trancey or hypnotic so read the notes below but whatever please do not listen to this podcast if you have things that need your attention - common sense I know but it has to be said :O) As always let me know your thought and any intuitions you gained - it's good to share - as you do with this podcast -You DO Don't You! https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/173-a-sense-of-purpose-hypnotically Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me

FMQ 293 Fear/Anxiety - How's that working for you?
16/04/2020 Duration: 14minFear / Anxiety - How's that working for you? So It's a simple question if you're fearful or anxious - "How's that working for you?" If you have listened to this podcast a little while you will get it that I'm into the positive intention of emotions and behaviors and from that, we ask what's the intention of fear and anxiety? Easy -Safety - Your safety. And that's ok when fight or flight is appropriate but overwhelming anxiety is inappropriate and there are so many better ways your unconscious mind can protect you and let go of that conflict. So let's ask that question and see where better and more resourceful emotions and behaviors can be utilized - Come with me on this short but meaningful dive into finding better ways. Let me know what you think - email me - feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com and if you'd be really kind share this podcast https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or email me with questions, requests and feedback.
