The Whole is Greater than the Sum of the Parts

The NLP Research Journal has arrived...the proof is on my desk and wow, it looks amazing, wonderful, fantastic...
The teamwork and dedication that went into producing this is all worthwhile when you see the finished Journal. It serves as another reminder to me that the whole can be so much greater than the sum of the parts, just like a relay team on the athletics race track.
And what a Team we have been – it started as just a dream, which manifested into a conversation, which became a committee and which resulted in the First International NLP Research Conference...and then we continued moving forward to create the NLP Research Journal.
Nine papers went into the Journal, all testament to the dedication and perseverance of the authors in setting up the research, following through with it, presenting their findings at the 2008 NLP Research Conference and then consolidating all this work into a written paper.
They passed the baton to Paul and his team of reviewers, who spent hours (well, weeks actually) editing and providing feedback for the Authors, guiding them along the path until the papers were 100% ready to publish.
We then took the baton again and the production team went into action, making sure the whole Journal was properly put together, managed, promoted and published...and although there was no race to win, what we have achieved is, in my mind, even better than winning a Gold Medal at the Olympics, and I am so proud to have been a part of making this happen.

This looks amazing but will the journal stand up to academic scrutiny. Were the studies connected to a university? Have the authors referred other journal publications or simply books.
My mentor sits on the board for the British Psychological society and I always get a good ribbing about NLP not being founded by academic research. I hope this journal demonstrates that NLP is statistically significant and plausible through research.

As a gay man I well remember the heart searching that went on to ensure that every television programme about being gay was positive, balanced, well presented etc i.e. it was perfect.
Well that desire was impossible and this Journal isn`t perfect either.
However, it exists and I hope that it will encourage others to produce work that Oliver rightly points out needs to meet standards set by others.
All his questions are answered in the Journal which are: "not all" and "both".
Happy reading and Happy Christmas.
See you on 28th at the House of Commons.
