The Pattern Advantage: Why You Keep Doing What You Do

In The Pattern Advantage: Repetition Is Information, NLP expert Chris Collingwood introduces the idea of pattern literacy—learning to recognise the recurring sequences through which we organise our experience and behaviour. 🧠 Discover how observing what happens immediately before familiar reactions such as anxiety, defensiveness, procrastination, or conflict can reveal valuable patterns. Rather than treating repetition as evidence that something is wrong, Chris invites us to see it as observable information that can be investigated and eventually changed. ✨ The first step is deceptively simple: pay attention to what repeats. 📅Join us on Sunday, September 27, 2026, for “The Pattern Advantage: Why You Keep Doing What You Do and How to Create More Choice — Webinar 1: Repetition Is Information,” with Chris Collingwood, BA Psych, M.AppApplied Science, Grad Cert NLP, as we explore how recognising recurring patterns can help us understand our responses and create more choice in our personal and professional lives. 🌱 🎯 Key Points / Takeaways for the Audience 🔹 Reframe repetition as information. Learn to see recurring behaviours not simply as flaws, but as valuable, observable information that provides the data needed to investigate and eventually change them. 🔹 Develop “pattern literacy.” Learn to identify the recurring sequences that precede familiar reactions such as anxiety, defensiveness, procrastination, or conflict—opening the door to greater awareness and new choices. 💡 Additional Key Points / Takeaways / Benefits ✨ Gain practical strategies for recognising and interrupting unhelpful habitual responses in the moment. ✨ Explore the relationship between pattern recognition and emotional regulation. ✨ Learn to distinguish the observable structure of a pattern from the explanations, interpretations, and labels we attach to it. ✨ Become more curious about what happens immediately before a familiar emotional or behavioural response. ✨ Discover how identifying recurring structural patterns can support more sustainable improvements in performance, communication, decision-making, and well-being. ✨ Move from automatically repeating familiar responses toward having more conscious choice in how you respond. 🎙ABOUT THE SPEAKER🎙 Chris Collingwood, BA Psych, M.AppApplied Science, Grad Cert NLP, has been involved in learning and teaching NLP since 1979 and studied with the major early developers of NLP.
