Hypnotic Intentionality Three Ways to Use Your State as a Powerful Tool for Change

Join therapist and trainer Joe Kao for a free online event on 29th January at 6:30pm UK Time. 

When it comes to effective coaching or therapy, the state of the practitioner is a huge factor, and something that's often overlooked.

This doesn't mean that you need to be amped up, supercharged and doing jumping jacks before you see every client. 

But it does mean remembering that your tone of voice, your facial expression, your energy and manner are sending countless signals to the client about whether the work is going to be successful. 

We've all seen examples of bad acting, whether in films, TV shows or in a theatre. When you see bad acting, it feels incongruent, like the person is saying the words but they don't know why they're saying them.

The same thing can happen with hypnosis and changework. Practitioners are sometimes encouraged to memorise hypnotic phrases, or to read out scripts to their clients, but the result can end up robotic and clunky, like a piece of bad theatre.  


A technique may create profound changes for a client when presented with purpose, curiosity and energy. But when that same technique is presented in a fossilised, scripted way, it suddenly becomes harder for the client to engage with, and the technique is far less likely to be effective.

In this free presentation on Hypnotic Intentionality, we'll be exploring three ways you can cultivate states within yourself that actively support the process of change, so that you can bring more intentionality and "aliveness" into your client sessions.

Find out what you can learn from:

  • Theatre practitioner Konstantin Stanislavski 
  • Hypnosis pioneer Dr Milton H. Erickson
  • Apple founder Steve Jobs

about how to generate powerful, congruent states that deeply resonate with others. We hope to see you there!

Join us on January 29th at 6:30pm Uk time (we will run for approximately 45 mins with additional time for questions)

WHAT ARE PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT JOE'S WORKSHOPS?

"I have had the pleasure of taking Therapeutic Improvisations with Joe Kao. It was easily the most fun I have had at a workshop and one of the most personally beneficial.

I not only had a great time practicing in the breakout rooms provided; but I also brought the exercises into my personal life and have had a great time practicing with my loved ones.

I think people who are looking to add something to their work will benefit greatly from this workshop. Joe’s generous teaching style alone will make it worth your time".

"I found the improv and therapy course extremely enjoyable and I learned so much. There was a fascinating blend of theory, explanation from Joe and exploration, learning by doing. I felt I was being thrown into the deep end but in a safe and supportive environment. And by the end of the course, I was beginning to swim! This course could benefit a huge range of therapists, coaches and anybody interested in self-development."

"Joe Kao’s course in transformational storytelling really delivered, and in a way I was not expecting. I thought I was in for a theory deep course on story structure and linguistic tricks but instead it was a very practical with immediate application. As I reflect I realise that this is much better as I could have easily drowned in too much theory and it wouldn’t have been useful. I would love to build on these skills with Joe and I look forward to another course. Thank you Pete and Joe. This is by far the best learning platform for change work that I have come across".

"I highly recommend this course. I have thoroughly enjoyed it and each week the time has flown by. After being a part of this I can say I am more able to develop stories to use in the moment. Transformational stories isn’t something you attend and then it’s done. It’s just the beginning of developing a whole vault full of your own stories. Thanks again Pete and Joe".
