This masterclass will offer a panoramic and practical view of the current state of the art in Robert's work—bringing together decades of modeling human excellence with today’s emerging possibilities in artificial intelligence. It weaves Sleight of Mouth, the Levels of Change, Generative Change, and Mindset Maps into a coherent framework for guiding sustainable transformation in individuals, teams, and organizations.  

Grounded in Robert's direct experience with Milton Erickson, Gregory Bateson, Moshe Feldenkrais, and Gebrielle Roth, this masterclass will explore how their distinct yet convergent intelligences—language, systems, somatics, and movement—form a unified ecology of change. We will explore how these principles are being extended through AI as a partner in modeling, reflection, and learning, while keeping the human being—presence, purpose, and values—at the center.  

Participants will gain both a conceptual map and practical pathways for applying generative intelligence today: how to work at the right level for change to last, how to use language to transform beliefs in real time, how to integrate body and identity, and how AI can support (rather than replace) human creativity and wisdom.  

Key Themes  

1) From Genius to Generativity  What Robert learned directly from Erickson, Bateson, Feldenkrais, and Roth How their approaches converge into a single generative ecology of change 

2) Levels of Change: Where Change Must Happen  Working at the appropriate logical level for durable results Diagnosing why change “doesn’t stick” 

3) Sleight of Mouth in a Generative World  Using language patterns to transform limiting beliefs—rapidly and ecologically Moving from argument to alignment 

4) Generative Change: Beyond Problem-Solving  Creating conditions for new realities to emerge The role of state, intention, and field From fixing what’s wrong to activating what wants to happen 

5) Mindset Maps: Navigating Complexity  Mapping mindsets that shape action and outcomes Designing pathways for learning, leadership, and innovation 

6) AI as a Partner in Human Development  AI as a modeling and reflection tool Supporting learning, creativity, and perspective-taking Ethical and ecological principles for human-centered AI.

Participants Will Leave With  A clear map of the current state of the art of Robert's work with NLP and Generative Change Practical insights for applying Sleight of Mouth and Levels of Change A grounded understanding of how AI can enhance—not replace—human intelligence Inspiration from living lineages of genius translated into modern practice
