09:15-10:00 - NLPt and Systemic Constellation Work – An Integrative Approach (Anca Petrescu)
This presentation explores the integration of Neurolinguistic Psychotherapy (NLPt) with Systemic Constellation work as a powerful therapeutic framework for addressing individual issues within their relational and transgenerational context. Participants will be introduced to key principles of both approaches and how they complement each other in clinical practice. A real case study will illustrate the clinical process, interventions used, and therapeutic outcomes, highlighting how systemic dynamics and internal processes can be worked with simultaneously to support deep and sustainable change.
Anca Petrescu is a psychotherapist and systemic constellation facilitator with over 12 years of group experience and 8 years in individual psychotherapy. Her work integrates Neurolinguistic Psychotherapy with Systemic Constellation methodology, focusing on transgenerational dynamics, attachment patterns, and embodied emotional processing. She is actively involved in professional development and ethical standards within the NLPt community in Romania.
Background: Anca Petrescu has studied NLP since 2008 in Romania. Since 2017 she is a certified Psychotherapist with NLPt.
10:00-10:45 - NLPt as a tool for psychological adaptation in the shift from VUCA to BANI (Dan Florin Stanescu)
The shift from the VUCA world—characterised by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity—to the BANI framework—brittle, anxious, nonlinear, and incomprehensible—requires new forms of psychological adaptation. This presentation explores how Neuro-Linguistic Psychotherapy (NLPt) provides practical tools to help individuals navigate this demanding transition. Techniques such as reframing, anchoring, perceptual positions, and state regulation support emotional stability, cognitive flexibility, and clearer meaning-making in rapidly changing environments. When applied to the specific challenges described by the BANI model, NLPt can effectively reduce anxiety, strengthen resilience, and promote more adaptive coping strategies.

11:00-11:45 New opportunities in executive performance optimisation - a data driven development approach (Roland Kasek)
In contemporary leadership development and executive coaching, self-assessment proves to be a metacognitive, intuition-laden act that systematically misrepresents ability — individuals frequently overestimate skills and remain unaware of competence gaps. (Dunning & Kruger, 1999). Metamemory research shows that these introspective judgments depend on monitoring processes that can be noisy and task-dependent. (Nelson & Narens, 2006) Empirical meta-analyses also find only modest leader–observer agreement, which means self-reports often diverge from externally observed behavior (Lee, 2018) Consequently, contrary to subjective methods — eg. validated psychometrics, behaviorally anchored assessments, multi-rater (360°) feedback and behavioral analytics — objective diagnostics – eg. lab results, empirical assessment – are essential today: they correct biased self-views, provide reliable benchmarks for development, and create the actionable feedback loops that enable sustained change. Recent findings demonstrating significant associations between self-assessment bias, performance, decisional awareness, and metamemory underscore a critical point: self-assessment is fundamentally a metacognitive act, shaped by intuitive processes and intertwined with an individual’s empathetic capacities (Kasek et al, 2025). New opportunities arising from the discoveries are discussed.
