What is NLP?

NLP or Neuro-Linguistic Programming is a set of tools, models, techniques and philosophies that seek to understand and shape how we experience life through our neurology (our sensory experience), the language we use and the unconscious programmes we run moment by moment.

Key outputs are enhanced rapport through greater variety of language, powerful goal setting techniques and the ability to manage personal state for improved results in any situation.

How does NLP help a Coach?

The people you coach can achieve all of the above for themselves if, as a coach you can offer the particularly valuable tool set and techniques of NLP. At the heart of NLP are the basic presuppositions that provide great building blocks for any coach. We’ve chosen our favourites to share with you as they are particularly relevant to coaching:

• People make the best choice they can at the time
• Having a choice is better than not having a choice
• People work perfectly
• The meaning of communication is not simply what you intend, but also the response you get
• If you want to understand, act

What does our programme give you?

You will certify as a Practitioner of NLP with the American Board of NLP (ABNLP) – where NLP started. You’ll also experience for yourself some of the benefits your clients will experience when you use the techniques, tools and methods that you’ll learn.

Some of the Benefits

• Understand and motivate yourself, your team and others
• Improved relationships with colleagues
• Develop strategies and techniques to bolster your influencing skills
• How to define and easily achieve your own ‘personal state of excellence’
• Greater understanding of other people’s language and behaviour
• Enhancement of your existing communication skills

Why choose this course?

You will learn all the NLP skills and techniques in a reduced time because we have designed this accredited programme as a fast track acceleration format. This reduces the certification time for you by 50%! This means that you will complete the programme in 10 days. The normal duration for a Practitioner’s Certificate is 20 days.

You will also benefit from a more personalised experience as we limit our numbers on the workshops to a maximum of 12 participants.

On successful completion of the programme you will be issued with a certificate by the ABNLP.

What’s involved?

To make sure you get the most out of the workshop and to ensure you successfully complete the programme there is some pre-work. This is enjoyable and interesting as you’ll listen to a CD-set which provides the groundwork for the 10 day programme.

The standard day on the programme runs from 9.00am to 5.00pm with breaks during the day. Because of the practical nature of the programme there is often some easy and fun ‘home work’ over night to get working on the things you’ll learn during the day.
