Mon expérience française avec la PNL de Sue!
by Arul Subramaniam

I am flying. Literally I am flying on an aeroplane from Chennai to Delhi for the Brainobrain Competition. I waited for the announcement to say, “ You may now switch on your laptops or electronic devices.”
I got up and opened the overhead cabin and opened my backpack, took my laptop out and opened this Microsoft word document and started typing—my French Experience with Sue’s NLP!

The entire program was an opportunity to pamper myself with NLP. What else could I say of a fabulous week that was so special from minute to minute! I just want to say a big merci beaucoup! Right from the moment I entered Puys De Vignes in Dordogne — it was filled with enlightening moment — absolutely what I wanted to have. If I have to mention ‘One Super Attribute’ of you, Sue – what makes your training so unique is, it is your talent to sense people’s wants and needs and thereby providing them the space that they would require to grow or glow! The way you do that so gracefully – makes you incomparable! That kind of attention and nurture delights me – the values that I pick up when I am with you – makes my purpose more purposeful; makes my life lively – by the difference that I create, learning through you!

I am fortunate to having worked with you; coached by you and the beauty is how you do what you do – your decorum – like a potter shapes his pots – just with raw hands – that mastery –OMG! I had the experience of being in your hands; of seeing you demonstrate that with other participants – it is sense of godliness, I would say, as you unveil the clutter…and the beauty beautifies!

The reason these things stands out for me, especially in France ….is because – you have the smaller group therefore I have a sense of having you enough as a coach…(that’s never possible) however that attention is what I seek for – high performance coaching – for which I would come to France again –again and again!

Apart from the training themes, I also see Spencer being a master of what he does! What glorifies what he does his, again, his ability to sense people’s needs. Whether in the session or out, the way you both weave the experiences in your areas – it is just brilliant!

I enjoyed every moment on all the days, right from the ‘Good Morning Arul to the Good Night Arul’ that you said. Everything! I just cherish those close-to-my- heart-moments! What a lovely place is Dordogne! I wake up every morning to the smiles of Sunflowers and it is a gift to see a….believe me….Sunflower smiling…you could see the petals opening..and the radiance spreads! Then I would Join Spencer to pick up the delegates…..We are now sitting in one of those tables in front of this Café Bar with a gorgeous pain aux raisin (hmmmm) and a green tea in front of me – while Spencer prefers his Expresso Coffee with a Pain aux raisins I think…in that beautiful countryside…everyone who passes your table...has a smile for you, be it the baker or the big guy in the Café bar, they smilingly ask you,” ça va?” and I learnt to reply “ça va!” And then I cannot complete this without mentioning Spencer’s fingerlicking menu that he boasts of – by cooking such sumptuous dishes back to back! One can only eat more, never less (not a good belief) – the point is such is Spencer’s culinary skills! Thank you Spencer!

I am now swimming regularly and aware of the feedback that I received from the Programme. I enjoyed being there Sue and I am looking forward to meet you soon in Kerala! I will be able to swim long lengths and wide widths [Ed:Africa's a long way Arul] in the Arabian Sea in Kerala!

A bientot!
