What
people say about
The Dynamic Enneagram
Videotape Series
"I was delighted to discover a new videotape series
by Tom Condon that illustrates his enhancement of Enneagram typology with
techniques from NLP and Ericksonian hypnosis.
At the most basic level, the observer can glean new information about Enneagram
types. The clients are frank and disclosing without seeming rehearsed or
inhibited, and give us an opportunity to read energy and body language as
well as listen to their words.
On a more complex level, each tape is a rich vein of information on interviewing
style itself. The healing potential of the Enneagram unadorned is amazing;
when it is set as the jewel in Condon's multi-faceted approach, we begin
to see how much more is possible. NLP gives the interviewer clues to assess
the state of mind of the client, and techniques to measure the impact of
events and assertions. Body posture, tone of voice, pacing, line of vision
- all combine to create a psychic roadmap of the interview in process.
When using the techniques of Ericksonian hypnosis, the practicioner leads
the client respectfully to an open door of insight and then politely waits
until the awareness gathers sufficiently for the client to be ready for
the next step. When these graceful and subtle techniques are combined, the
potential for revelation is enormous.
Condon's style is relaxed, casual and warmly humorous. He gauges the moment
when he can nudge the process foward, and often does so with a comment that
in less-skilled hands might have produced a burst of outrage or tears, or
triggered an anenome-like retreat. But the gentleness of his manner and
his indirect, non-invasive position create an extraordinarily safe space
for making big moves in a short time.
Though this is not a "how-to" tape set for any of the modalities
employed, it is a lesson that invites us to further investigation. And for
those of us who will probably not attain Condon's level of proficiency with
NLP or Ericksonian hypnosis, there is an immediately-realizable benefit.
In my own client interactions, and in my daily life, I now bring foward
my recollection of the pace and tone and atmosphere that Condon creates,
and find myself able to incorporate more centered, grounded, and effective
strategies.

"Before signing up for a course on the Enneagram,
buy these tapes. Thomas Condon does a good job of filtering the Enneagram
through NLP training. You'll acquire some great tools for your profession
and learn about yourself first!"
