Living Well NLP

This is my tribute to the late Tom Hoobyar — a wonderful, generous, warm-hearted man who died 25 September 2011. Tom’s daughter Tracy asked people to post lessons they’d learned from Tom, who was an entrepreneur, NLPer, and teacher and mentor to many. Here are mine.

The main lessons I learned from Tom were:

1. Tom didn’t let his own mistakes or setbacks prevent him from being a leader, teacher, and mentor. I used to think I had screwed up too much to teach or lead. Tom was one of the people who helped me learn that my mistakes and challenges, lived through, become benefits with which I can help other people deal with similar issues more gracefully.

Tom Hoobyar, the founder of the orginal NLP Cafe (a practice group for NLP and hypnosis skills), died this morning, 25 September 2011, of stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

One of the greatest and kindest men alive, Tom Hoobyar an earth angel and benefactor to nearly everyone I know, is down with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
