Interested in an NLP Training?

Then frankly, you're interested the older transfer technology for learning NLP.

When NLP was originally developed, the only method of transfer was training. Little was understood about the multiple levels of experience, almost nothing about the structure of generalization. So, exercises were created to entrain behavior. That is, get participants to simply repeat in sequence behaviors – techniques – that NLP’s originators had modeled.

Only that’s not how the original models, Milton Erickson, Virginia Satir and others, did it. Erickson often said don't copy me, create a new therapy for every client. Meanwhile, NLP around the world is too often taught as a collection of techniques. Even worse, because these programs train behavior, their participants must practice to generalize these skills to other areas of their lives. Most people never do. Since the practice processes were almost all created for therapists, few people have easy opportunities to practice them outside the training context.

A major innovation in learning NLP.

NLP authors and innovators Steve Andreas and Charles Faulkner have been rethinking the basic elements of NLP, taking everything apart to find the essence of change. Steve has published ground-breaking work on Self Concept, Scope and Category. Charles has brought a new descriptive organization to NLP found in everyday language and profoundly easy to use.

The trend in NLP trainings worldwide is to shorter, abbreviated, or special interest trainings. This is often because they have to concentrate on the content application of specific techniques. Our Immersion Programs teach you HOW TO THINK AND ACT - to create BEYOND TECHNIQUES. You will be able to use what you learn as easily at work as at home or anywhere else you choose.

You’re smarter than ‘they’ think!

NLP training programs often start with un-useful assumptions. You can check this out for yourself. If they offer to train you in creating outcomes (also known as goals, targets, results), then they assume you don’t know how.

If you don't know how to set goals, how did you decide you wanted to take NLP?

You already had goals.

And the awareness to notice you wanted more.

And the skills to decide what to do to increase your choices.

In the New NLP Comprehensive Immersion Programs, we know that you are already skilled, that you are living your life, that you are full of experience, and that you want more. We start with your competencies and build on them. Through ALL NEW PROCESSES we help you to notice what you are already good at, and then show you how you can expand those skills to enhance other, less satisfying areas of your life. Every day of the program, you are increasing your resource base and expanding your capabilities.

Artistry is not a technique.

To become more artful and discerning with the abilities you need to deepen your awareness – both of what you already know and how it connects to new organizing principles, and perceptions. This program will take your professional and personal evolution to new levels of artistry, specificity and subtlety through who you are and who you want to become.

Where the NLP Comprehensive Practitioner Immersion Programs teaches participants to become aware of the alphabet of experience, the NLP Comprehensive Master Practitioner Immersion Program encourages you into the world of intervention artistry. The alphabet of awareness becomes the vehicle for developing multiple perceptions and synergistic multi-level change work.

(PS: Recently I had a chat with a graduate of our Immersion Practitioner who had gone on to take her Master Practitioner from one of the "big names" in NLP.  The training was located only an hour from her home, and that convenience factor overwhelmed her other criteria.

She found herself one of hundreds in a large room where the trainer was just a little figure on a stage in the distance.  She said she was first disappointed at the lack of personal attention and mentoring she was used to from our programs.  Then she realized as the training went along that she had already learned at least 80% of what they called "Advanced Mastery" material in our Practitioner Immersion Program!

This isn't the first time we've heard a story like this.  Really learning NLP is difficult in a 'rock star' arena.  That's a great format for entertainment - and state elicitation - but not so great for learning.  And you realize pretty fast that calling something "Advanced" is a truly relative statement. ;-)

It's with this in mind that we offer a 1/3 discount to anyone who's done Prac or Master Prac and wants to repeat it with us.  Even if you took a truly excellent program, you'll find the new formats and methodology of our exclusive Immersion Design a revelation.

So if you want to actually realize the promise of NLP in your life and have a superb set of skills and the kind of competent confidence that gets results fast, email or chat Sharon and book your place now.)

You've been to trainings ... They're where you practice a series of steps, in a procedure, as if you're never done it before. This may work fine for learning software or if you are a small child. But as an adult you have a wealth of experience, and most of this experience isn't procedures. You have insights, rules of thumb, exceptions to the rules, and so much more. What if all of that experience could used to accelerate your learning? What if you could start there? 

The Immersion Program is specially designed to identify, validate, and use your life experiences to acclerate getting the NLP skils in an easy, naturalized way.  Go Here to find out if this exclusive program is right for you!
