All 3 of the courses I run are open to anyone with no pre-requisites aprt from the master practitioner course. There is a phone call before all bookings are complete to make sure you are suitable. This isn’t like an interview, it’s just to make sure we are a good fit for the training and that the training meets your expectations.

The FREE Online email course has been designed with the person who is curious about NLP in mind. This course is completely free and is always growing and being updated. And yes, once you have started it is free forever.

The Practitioner course is an 8 day course over 4 weeks run over 8 weeks. This is the most popular route for anyone looking for a deep dive into NLP. NLP is a broad topic however the principles and methodologies run throughout. Taking a practitioner course is a sound way to develop you as a practitioner as well as giving you the understanding to allow you to further develop once the course is complete.

The Master Practitioner training course is a 12-day course over 3 months. It’s essential that you have completed a practitioner course before taking this course.

The Bespoke course is usually for groups or a company who has a specific requirement. Typically working with a management team, sales teams or groups who have a mutually agreed outcome for the course. These can range from 2-10 days depending on what’s desired. These bespoke courses can also be followed up with a coaching program.

People report a number of ways NLP has helped them. Here are just a few examples.

1. Understanding yourself and how you think.
2. Understanding how others think.
3. Enhanced communication. No more getting cross wires or feel like you’re talking a different language.
4. Learn strategies for change. This could be for increasing motivation, dedication. Getting rid of old unwanted habits and behaviours.
5. Dealing with difficult people.
6. Improved delegation and management skills.
7. An enriched life by reprocessing events and memories.

NLP can roughly be broken into three main parts:

• Enhanced communication
• Behaviour and belief change
• Modelling

When you become versed NLP and your communication increases, you will notice that you’re able to get to grips with what a person is trying to communicate. As well as what a person says, communication is also about what a person does. People’s non-verbal cues give more information at times than what they’re actually saying. NLP can show you how to understand and learn from those non-verbal cues which to some, seems manipulative. It is just enhanced communication.

Another part of the NLP communication model is something called the Milton model. The communication model was taken from Milton Erickson, who was a hypnotherapist. When used correctly, this language is very metaphorical and can assist someone in making a decision. It is not about making someone do something that they don’t want to do. Science has shown that metaphors and storytelling can be persuasive, this is why watching movies can create such strong emotions. By using this language, you’re able to connect with people emotionally. This doesn’t mean to persuade or manipulate negatively. Just allow them to understand exactly what is your trying to communicate in the best possible way.

Changing beliefs and behaviours in itself does sound a little bit cultish or witchcraft like. Our beliefs do define us. However, NLP shows us that if a belief is not serving us, then we can “believe”  something different.  Modelling is really what NLP is about. It’s finding what’s working and understanding the beliefs, behaviours, strategies and language behind that and replicating. Modelling is natural. Every child in the world is an exceptional modeller. This is how they can learn to walk, talk, move, interact and create their persona. They model those people around them.

NLP is powerful and has the potential to be manipulative. It was never set out to be manipulative or persuasive. Just like a desert spoon has no intention of hurting a person. If you feed a person a dessert spoon, then, sure enough, there would be some negative connotations. As long as you are planning to learn NLP for  an ethical reason, then you’ll reap the rewards NLP has in store

Training is a lot like food. Everyone has their own taste. Therefore, choose a trainer who you feel like you have some sort of connection with. You can see my videos, listen to my podcasts and see if I feel right for you.

The relationship between the trainer and trainee is paramount. Even though all training courses run over a few days, it’s beneficial when a person comes on a course and they get the idea of how that course will be delivered. For me, choose a trainer who you have a connection with from the content they put online. This is one of the reasons we have a phone call before committing to the training and why I have an ever-growing online NLP training resource.

Experience: I have been a hands on therapist, coach and trainer for over 10 years. This means I have worked with and see about every possible scenario when it comes to creating change.

Business: I have real passion and experience for business. I have started a company and sold that on in only 3 years. I have also coached hundreds of companies (The people really) so this is an area of expertise.

Milton Keynes, London and……… All over the world. The diploma and practitioner courses are only scheduled in these 2 locations. All training venues will be close to trains and main trunk roads. Milton Keynes is nearly the centre of the country and it’s very easy to get to and stay over too if you wish.

The everywhere part is for International companies and groups for bespoke courses. I’m willing to travel worldwide for course and workshops. All bespoke courses are designed with your outcome in mind. All fees for the bespoke courses are agreed beforehand.
