Cottingham, East Yorkshire – 11 March 2008 – Deans Hines and Robert Purfield, the two co-owner /directors of leading UK people development agency, PHP Ltd, will fly to Portugal this week to train to become qualified firewalking instructors to further strengthen their widely acclaimed human change technology people development model.
PHP Ltd is a leading people development agency specializing is leadership and sales programmes for organizations such as Harley Davidson, Linpac, Volvo and Hull City Football Club. PHP business partners, Robert Purfield and Dean Hines have created a 5-piece model for people and business development in Human Change TechnologyTM (HCT TM). HCTTM combines elements of neuro-linguistic programming, emotional intelligence, accelerated learning and hypnotic change technique. Underpinning all of this is a powerful personality and psychometric profiling tool that they have carefully chosen to drive all of their material.
The PHP Directors have both firewalked several times during the last few years in the course of their studies and their own personal development and have now decided to jet off to Portugal to The European Office of The Firewalking Institute of Research and Education to train to become qualified firewalking instructors themselves. Once qualified they plan to include firewalking as part of their NLP (neuro linguistic programming) based Human Change Technology TM model. Dean Hines told us why, “I first firewalked in 1993 at a Tony Robbins seminar and for me it was a life-changing experience. I still think about it today. It is a fantastic way of demonstrating the power of the mind to people and by adding it to our portfolio it’s another positive ingredient we can use to help people reach their true potential.”
Robert Purfield explained, “After doing something like firewalking, which to most of us defies all logic, you find your spirits are lifted to a far greater level than ever before. This opens your eyes and your mind to the endless possibilities for achievement you have in your own every day life – both personal and professional. Adding this to our Human Change Technology model at this stage will bolster our offering significantly. In terms of people development in the corporate and sporting world our material is already truly unique and the addition of firewalking will give it an exciting edge.”

About Firewalking:
Firewalking, the act of walking barefoot over a bed of hot coals, dates back to 1200 BC evident in many cultures across the globe. However, more recently it has become as a personal growth technique as a powerful metaphor for banishing limiting beliefs. In the late 1970’s Tolly Burkan gave his first firewalking class and developed a format for teaching this skill as a self-improvement technique. Tolly went on to teach Tony Robbins – an American, celebrity, self-help writer and professional speaker – to firewalk. Tony Robbins has since popularized firewalking by including it as part of his world successful seminar “Unleash The Power Within” and it is believed that over 3,000,000 westerners have firewalked.

ABOUT NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Prorgramming)
Neuro Linguistic Programming first emerged in the 1970’s when a Professor, John Grinder, and an undergraduate, Richard Bandler, from the University of California teamed up to explore their fascination with the behavioural patterns of geniuses. From their fascination they went on to develop the modeling technique we now know as NLP – Neuro Linguistic Programming – which is recognized and highly acclaimed worldwide as a powerful tool for behavioural change. It is the process of unraveling and replicating the language structure and behavioural patterns of people deemed excellent at a given activity. NLP is the practice of understanding how people organise their thinking, feeling, language and behaviour to produce the results they do. NLP provides people with a methodology to model outstanding performances achieved by geniuses and leaders in their field.
