The Perspective Pivot: How Shifting Perception Creates Transformation
What if the key to transformation isn’t about changing what people see, but how they see it?
In this experiential seminar, Karen Hand guides you through The Perspective Pivot — an exploration of how shifting perceptual positions can instantly dissolve resistance, deepen rapport, and open the door to profound client change.
Drawing on the wisdom of NLP, Virginia Satir’s communication stances, and the Gestalt principles of awareness and integration from Fritz Perls this program reveals practical ways to help clients step outside their stuck perspectives and discover new choices.
Cinematic Hypnosis: Discover Hollywood’s Secret to Trance-Formation
From Harry Potter to The Matrix, some of the best hypnotic lessons are hiding in plain sight on the big screen.
In this lively workshop, Karen Hand and Nathan Gist reveal how film scenes model trance, suggestion, and transformation—and how to translate those same cinematic techniques into powerful client results.
Through interactive demonstrations, film-clip analysis, and hands-on practice, participants will explore how Hollywood storytelling mirrors the hypnotic process.
You’ll learn to use simple conversation, metaphor, pacing, emotion, and narrative arcs to bypass resistance, deepen trance, and help clients create lasting change.
