cover My Lessons With Kumi;
How I Learned to perform with confidence in life and work

by Michael Colgrass

2000 Moab, Utah: Real People Press

ISBN: 0911226400

My Lessons with Kumi tells the story of a man who sets out to develop his skills as a presenter and finds that in the process he is on a journey of self discovery. Autobiographical in nature, Pulitzer Prize winner and Emmy Award winner Michael Colgrass has found an innovative way of bringing NLP to the public by incorporating it into this novel.

Colgrass is a long-term student and friend of NLP co-creator John Grinder who, together with Judith DeLozier, created the New Code of NLP in the 1980s. They were concerned that the original or Classic Code of NLP was not being taught in a sufficiently systemic and ecological manner by all trainers. With each chapter in this novel, Colgrass highlights through metaphor a description of NLP in the New Code format.
