"Theo trained back in 1988, he has more status than Bill who trained
last year, because Theo was there back in the early days and has been
in the game a lot longer than Bill.

But Bill is more up to date than Theo and isn't stuck at the level of
someone else's development. Bill is newer, hip and more up to date. So
he actually has more status than Theo.

But Sally once had a one to one session on the stage with her
celebrity trainer, so she has more status than anyone. She has been
anointed personally and with that no one disagrees.

Michael has only attended a two day diploma course with a trainer that
no one else has heard of, so he isn't important at all. But he hopes
to save up the money to attend the practitioner course one day, but
for now he thinks the course is a bit too expensive. Theo asks him how
much the course is actually worth to him and tries to investigate
Michael's limiting beliefs about money by asking empowering questions.
Michael tries to duck this interrogation and is quickly diagnosed as a
mismatcher who deliberately avoids rapport...."

Very funny, but also very accurate...There can be a tendancy
especially in the world of NLP for people to regard "certificates" as
"qualifications" and consider titles like Master Practitioner and
Trainer to demonstrate a level of status...
