Robert Dilts has been working as a developer and practitioner of NLP for more than 50 years. In this presentation he will offer a panoramic view of the current state of the art of his work—bringing together decades of modeling human excellence with today’s emerging possibilities in artificial intelligence. 

Robert will explore how Sleight of Mouth, Strategies of Genius, Levels of Change, Generative Coaching, and MindsetMaps, with emerging applications of Artificial Intelligence as a partner in learning and reflection, can form a coherent framework for guiding sustainable transformation.  Robert will explore how distinct yet convergent intelligences—language, systems thinking, somatic modeling and movement—form a unified ecology of change. 

He will explore how these intelligences can be extended through AI as a partner in modeling, reflection, and learning, while keeping the human being—presence, purpose, and values—at the center.  

Topics include:  

· From Genius to Generativity – How the principles he has modeled from Milton Erickson, Gregory Bateson, Moshe Feldenkrais, and Gabrielle Roth (presented in his new book Strategies of Genius Volume IV) converge into a unified, generative ecology. 

· Levels of Change: Working Where Change Lasts – aligning environment, behavior, capabilities, values, identity, and purpose to avoid changes that fade or fragment. 

· Language as a Generative Force (Sleight of Mouth) – Using key language patterns to transform limiting beliefs and shift from debate and resistance to alignment and shared meaning. 

· Generative Change: From Fixing Problems to Creating Futures – Moving beyond problem-solving to create the conditions in which new possibilities naturally emerge. 

· Mindset Maps: Navigating Complexity and Direction – Mapping mindsets that shape action and outcomes as means for designing pathways for learning, leadership, and innovation. 

· Human Intelligence in the Age of AI – Exploring AI as a partner in modeling, reflection, and creativity, grounded in ethical, ecological, and human-centered principles that support the future of change work. 

The presentation will end with an Ask Robert Anything session in which participants can pose questions to Robert about the past, present and future of NLP and his contributions.
