Michelle Rhodes prepares to set a Guinness World Record in aid of the Great Ormond Street Hospital charity

 

World class neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) trainer and inspirational speaker, Michelle Rhodes, has announced her intention to break a Guinness World Record by hosting a marathon NLP charity event with the aim of raising £50,000 for the Great Ormond Street Hospital children’s charity.

 

Head of NLP training and development at Optimum Performance Achievement Ltd (OPAL), Michelle Rhodes is hosting a marathon 56-hour NLP demonstration in an attempt to break the current official ‘longest speech marathon’ world record. The attempt has been set up as a charity event to raise vital funds for the much-needed refurbishment of the hospital, provide vital up-to-date equipment and fund research into better treatments for the children.

 

Michelle Rhodes commented: “Great Ormond Street Hospital children’s charity is such a wonderful cause that genuinely kind people really love to support because of the difference it makes to those tender young lives. My friends and family think I’m a little crazy to go for 56 hours without any sleep and it will be a huge challenge but I, and those attending the event, will feel so amazing when we present the cheque to the charity at the end. We are aiming to raise £50,000.”

 

In order to achieve the fundraising target, 100% of ticket sale proceeds will go to charity. For her world record attempt, Michelle plans to deliver an incredibly challenging 56 continuous hours of remarkable life-changing NLP techniques to an audience at Mercedes-Benz World, Weybridge, Surrey. The record-breaking attempt is set to begin on Friday 24th October and run until Sunday 26th October 2014.

 

Great Ormond Street Hospital children’s charity Senior Fundraising Manager, Laura Savory, commented “We’re so grateful to Michelle Rhodes for her generosity and support. The money raised will help to make a huge difference to young patients and families from across the UK.”

 

The 56-hour charity marathon will see Michelle demonstrating a huge variety of life-changing techniques from the Certified NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner Training, NLP coaching and mentoring for executives and entrepreneurs, and NLP personal transformation sessions that create phenomenal success. Attendees can expect to benefit from valuable NLP techniques and methods such as:

 

– Releasing Negative Emotions from the past

– Eliminating Limitations including limiting beliefs

– Resolving Internal Conflict

– Mastering Linguistics for the Most Effective Communications

– Eliciting and Utilising Individual Strategies to Influence Ethically
