NLP for Social Engineers

Anybody in the industry who has talked to me about NLP has understood my utter frustration about the state of NLP learning and its application to social engineering. It got me riled up enough to do a post on NLP and science a few months ago.

And, for the past few months, I’ve been pondering the idea of doing a free education series for the industry on what NLP is and how to use it as a social engineer. But, as anybody who knows me knows, I’ve been a bit busy. Foreground is taking off, having made the INC 5000 due to the phenomenal amount of growth (and corresponding amount of work for each of us). And my own projects (Connected Career, Information Security Leaders, and the projects we do through Michael Murray and Associates) have added an even bigger load.

But I got really riled up when I read the NLP section of the new Social Engineering framework. Because, while true, it doesn’t teach the reader anything useful about how to use NLP in SE. (That shouldn’t be taken as a criticism – I believe strongly in the project and will be helping to edit and correct deficiencies and gaps over the coming months… the guys over there are doing the community a phenomenal service).

So, I sat down and started recording the material I had been putting together over the previous months. It’s going to come out to about 10 hours of audio, video and a whole pile of exercises. I even did a video to explain what you’re going to get.

Hacker Halted Redux

I had a blast at Hacker Halted last week, and I did a talk that I was incredibly excited about. It was the first time I was going to talk about some of the new research I’ve done and, while I didn’t plan to give out a huge number of details on the methods, I hoped that the talk was going to be well received.

Well, I’m sure that it would have been, had it actually finished. Because I didn’t read the program nearly closely enough, and I prepared a normal 80 minute talk, only to realize that my speaking slot was 45 minutes.

So, I only got about 1/2 way through my slides, and much of the meat was lost. A couple of audience members talked to me afterwards and seemed a bit disappointed, so I promised I’d provide the talk another way.

I do like to keep promises. So I sat down at my computer this morning and recorded the slides and the audio. The entirety of the talk that the audience would have seen is below.

Let me know your thoughts and opinions and ask questions if you have them (since I didn’t get to take audience questions at the conference, either).

Recap: The Hope Symposium

This past weekend, I had the privilege of speaking at  The Hope Symposium.  It was a small conference put on by my friends over at NLP Canada.

I was actually lucky enough to speak twice at the conference – I was the opening speaker and the final speaker before Chris and Linda closed out the conference.

More (including video of my talks) in the coming days, but for now, just a picture of me, Chris Ron Verreggen of RapidSuccessCoach.com.
