Occasionally dubbed "new age thinking", many dismiss the benefits of NLP without realising the breadth of its appeal.

So there is a lesson here, can you find it? When looking for leadership in life and business it is a great idea to look for positive people. If you run into a friend that is always negative and you are in the store don't you usually try to avoid that person, ducking around shelves and going all the way around the store to check out with out being seen? Now I ask you if you will go threw that much trouble to avoid a negative friend, then why O why will you accept a negative leader?It never stops amazing me when I run into people that are not getting anywhere in life and not doing well in general and you look at them as a whole and all you see is negative.
