Training Info
Course Introduction
Before we start with any techniques we delve into the workings of the mind, how it processes information, stores information, and how this can work both for and against us.
With the knowledge of how the mind works, we then go into more detail, essentially exploring the relationship between mind and feelings and how our feelings dictate our actions or indeed our ‘non-actions’ which then create the results we achieve in all areas of our lives.
Once you have this understanding, we start the teaching of how to take a person from where they are to where they want to be which involves the teaching and practice of a number of NLP techniques including the increasingly utilized Timeline techniques.
Having completed the Practitioner Level training, you will have a comprehensive toolbox of techniques to use for yourself and others in all areas of life. Master Practitioner which is our 2nd level training will add to your toolkit in the event that you decide to progress to a more in-depth level in the field.
Course Details
Thinking & Theme
NLP is said to be an ATTITUDE and a METHODOLOGY with a series of TECHNIQUES which when utilized facilitates fast and lasting change in the life of an individual or indeed a group. Firstly, let’s unpack the above.
Attitude
This is a way of thinking, to create the most success with ourselves or with our clients. It is known that if we hold a certain set of beliefs and understandings in our mind then the change will be faster and more profound, thereby increasing the chances of sustainable results.
Methodology
As with everything in life there is an order and sequence which when applied will create optimum results, this is the same with NLP and the order and the sequence may differ from client to client. In completing your learning, you will have the flexibility to know when to do something, what to do, and exactly why you are doing it.
Techniques
Many of you will have watched people such as Tony Robbins who within a matter of minutes assist clients to make massive changes in their lives. From the outside and not having studied NLP many would say it ‘looks a little strange’ or perhaps ‘unbelievable’ to others. With the techniques you learn, practice, and receive feedback on during the course we guarantee that you will not only experience the techniques working but that you will be able to utilize them to assist others to create change.
