Dr. Lloyd Glauberman
For over 30 years, Dr. Lloyd Glauberman, a Manhattan-based psychologist-psychotherapist and expert in business-related stress management and behavior change, has helped patients, both adolescents and adults achieve a wide variety of personal and professional goals. In 1990, he dramatically expanded his patient-base as he launched the Hypno-Peripheral Processing (HPP) audio programs, a series of CDs that combine aspects of Ericksonian hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to assist people on their journey to attain greater personal fulfillment.
Recognizing that emotional intelligence (EQ) more than IQ is responsible for an individual's success in life, he designed the HPP audio programs to help people channel emotion into successful behavior. The programs lead users into the theta state of consciousness, the "twilight state" between waking and sleeping, where their ability to generate positive emotional shifts quickly is greatly enhanced. Most significantly, the programs are also entertaining and easy-to-use and can help people achieve their goals without having to spend the time and financial resources required by traditional therapy.
Dr. Glauberman's programs include Quest For Excellence: Maximizing Performance For Business, Sports and the Arts, Money, Wealth & Prosperity: Transform Your Subconscious for SUCCESS, Personal Power: Discover Your Full Potential, Creating a Presence: Power Communication,. Resilience: The Power to Bounce Back, Tick-Tock: Creative Time Management, Procrastination: A Rhythmic Approach, Sales Mastery, Hidden Wisdom: Breaking Through Creative Blocks, Soul Mates: Improve Your Life Together, Rekindling the Flame: Revove Unconsious Barriers to Sexural Performance, Changing Emotions: A Stress Management Program, Feeling Better: Mind/Body Connections, Meditative Relaxation: Find Inner Fulfillment and Peace, Peak Experience: Harness the Energy of the Body-Mind-Spirit Connection, Personal Ecology: The Complete Self-Esteem Program.
In case you haven't heard about him yet, Blair Warren is a television producer, writer, marketing consultant and self described "voracious student of human nature".He's been working in the field of television production and marketing for nearly 20 years, producing over 300 half-hour episodes and nearly 50 one-hour episodes of niche programming. Blair has also worked on countless commercials, promotional tapes and marketing campaigns for such clients as Diamond Shamrock, La Quinta Inns and Suites, The Cancer Therapy and Research Center, Pabst Blue Ribbon and Old Milwaukee Beer.
During a brief hiatus from television (92-94), Blair was a Programmer Analyst for Shell Oil, where he worked on high-level computer system designs as well as provided technical field support for some of their refineries� onsite computer systems. He said, "While I loved the work, I soon found myself longing for the excitement, unpredictability and freedom that television had provided me, so I hung up my programmer hat and haven�t looked back".
The move has allowed Blair to not only exercise his �creative side� but has given him ample time to pursue his near-obsessive fascination with human nature. On of the outcomes of his fascination was The Forbidden Keys to Persuasion as a six week e-class taught in 2003 and 2004 for as much as $1,950. (Now it�s available as an affordable e-book.
