I went on the first large-scale NLP Practitioner course that Richard Bandler conducted in the UK and he was promoted by Paul McKenna and Michael Breen. This was in 1996 or so and there must have been something like 350 participants on the course and the three trainers took turns in being on stage.
Paul was the odd one out. He was obviously the most famous one to the audience (Paul used to be a radio DJ and TV personality), but as a trainer he was just not very good.
He was given the easiest techniques to demonstrate, but even there he often fell into the trap of picking someone from the audience who was his "type" (blonde, long legs) and who had deer-in-headlight-syndrome.
I remember one time where he tried to get this girl relaxed on stage and every time she was about to close her eyes, she looked at the audience, started giggling and exclaimed how excited she was to be on stage...
On a personal level, Paul is very friendly. You can talk to him about lots of different things, the only problem is that he has absolutely no attention span. But that might just come with the territory when you are a celebrity...
