NLP : Breaking The Chains And Then On To Freedom

NLP has been know as “The New Technology Of Achievement.” So why is it that many NLP Practitioners and Master Practitioners are still often a bit unhappy or not living their dreams fully?

This months practice group will be an exploration into remembering and realising the kinds of experiences that are really worth while and important to you. This will be done with due regard to personal and general ecology … and … at the same time … an invitation to re-discover the parts of you that can dare to dream.

All of the really successful people I know have two things in common - no matter what they say these days.

They are dreamers, they have created and are living their dream through dreaming and work … and quite often hard work.

“Those Who Do Not Dare To Dream, Sleep Most Of The Day” - Loesje

An evening of practice and experience that is ideal for therapists, coaches and people helpers who want new tools and techniques that are guaranteed to work to change lives.

And more importantly to stop worrying about failure and what other people think and concentrate on what you really, really want.

In the first NLP Cafe of 2010 join Andy Hunt in an exploration of what is most important in our lives: our values.

Often times these values may not be in concious awareness and we wander like an explorer without a compass.

When we know what our values are then we can use them to improve our decisions, motivate ourselves and construct a future that really works for us.

Because they are associated with worth, meaning and desire, values are a primary source of motivation in people’s lives. When peoples values are met or matched, they feel a sense of satisfaction, harmony or rapport. When their values are not met, people often feel dissatisfied, incongruent or violated
Robert Dilts

In this NLP Cafe practice group on Wednesday January 20th we will use a simple process to elicit and sort our highest values. Then use that information to improve our decisions and make our goals and outcomes even more juicy and enticing.

NLP New Year Practitioner Training - Beginning January 2010. Nine places remaining.

You know New year is often the time to start a new chapter in your life. Time to have taken stock of your life and identifying what is missing as well as realising what you really do want. What you want in terms of the experiences and values in your life, now and into the future.

New Year is a time for you and your partner or with your close friends to connect more deeply and make the moves to live the kind of life you dream about.  It is time to go beyond talking and to act to make and create the kind of life you honestly really want.

This New Year is a time for change and new beginnings. Your time for change and your time for new beginning. In my experience, the most effective and practically based way to get more of what you want in your life is Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP.

Why is NLP so effective? It is because you learn to run your own brain, identify and change the behaviours that have stopped you fully achieving and actualising the kind of life you want. It is also about understanding other people’s points of view ( which are just as valid as yours ) and finding ways of working together to achieve much more.

Our next NLP Practitioner Training begins this month, January 22nd.

• Understand and apply powerful NLP change processes.
• Break free from problem behaviours.
• Change limiting beliefs to empower your life.
• To notice and use non-verbal communication.
• You will be able to set realistic outcomes by learning the secrets of well balanced goals.
• How to acquire new skills and abilities and enhance your existing ones.
• Use powerful communication skills.
• Ethically influence others.
• Discover real personal development.
• How to learn.
• Organise your time effectively.
• Understand and utilise your own motivations as well as others.

Book on our January 2010 NLP Practitioner Training in Newcastle and get a second place for free. Book onto this course, change your life and invite your partner or a friend to do the same and so share this life changing journey with you.

“much more than my expectations were met, I experienced discovering different layers within myself and therefore different potential for helping. The training was was helpful because it was experiential, non-judgemental, safe and supported and I can put this to use in my work as a coach and facilitator and in personal life“

Judith - Coach and Training Facilitator

Why are we making this offer? Well of course it is great business sense for us. More people get to learn NLP and tell their friends and colleagues … great for all concerned yet for us this is not the heart and soul of what we have chosen to do.

One of the guiding principles of both Communicating Excellence and Integrity NLP is to continue to change the world in really positive and connecting ways by sharing the skills, tools and techniques for individual and group change. Quite simply with more people at out trainings, we are achieving our goals even more quickly.

Eye Movement Integration ( EMI ) can be used not only to dissolve trauma and problem memories, EMI can be used to generate resource states. This partially hypnotic process utilised the clients unconscious to generate resources with eye movements and hypnotic language.

This for me would also qualify as a New Code NLP state generator or equivalently a Brain Gym exercise. EMI is created by Steve and Connirae Andreas.

New Year, New beginnings, New ways to live more of the life you really want.

If you are thinking about doing an NLP Practitioner in Newcastle upon Tyne or in the North East of England then do have a look at our responses to choosing an NLP Practitioner course. In addition to NLP you will also learn Hypnotic and Hypnotherapy skills too. Andy Smith of Practical EQ has written an excellent summary of ways to choose an NLP Practitioner course that’s right for you.

Given the plethora of courses available in all sorts of styles, this is a very helpful guide to new ‘NLP shopper’. Before my shortened version of his list there are a couple of essential things you can find out about any prospective course.

Meet your trainers : You will be spending a lot of time and money on your course so it is very important that you get on with your trainer. Call them up and talk to them, better still arrange a meeting. Why? Some trainers have very little or no real personality, some dont have a sense of humour, some are actually incapable of real rapport and since rapport is one of the key NLP topics you owe it to yourself to make sure your trainer can deliver. Remember - talk to them first even better meet them in person.

Inspect the Venue : Your learning environment is a critical part of your NLP journey. Some training providers run their courses from little better than dilapidated buildings shared with probationary services. The facilities have questionable supplies of drinkable water and unpredictable heating systems. It has been so cold on these courses that many people took in blankets or sleeping bags to keep warm. This sounds like a horror story and I know it is because I have been on these courses!

Its very easy to avoid this nightmare situation, arrange to see the training environment ahead of time. Be certain your learning environment is clean, warm and comfortable.

How to choose a practitioner course

1. What is the emphasis of the course? Therapy, business, self development or general purpose.
2. How big is the course? Course sizes can range from 2 to 500! How big would you like your group to be?
3. ‘Intensive’ or ‘Extensive’? Intensive courses can be as little as 7 days long, extensive courses are usually 20 days long.
4. How is the course structured?
   Does the course run for 10 days straight, or one weekend a month over
   10 months? Do you want to complete the course quickly or do you want
   time to take it on board and integrate the learning into your life.
5. How much access do you get to the trainer? Is the trainer available to answer questions or does he use assistants and coaches to do that work?
6. How much are NLP Practitioner courses? The pricing varies from under £650 at the very bottom end of the market to £3,500 that’s quite an investment.
7. How much does the personality of the trainer matter?
   Does your trainer inspire trust? Do you feel at ease with them? If
   possible meet up with them before taking a training to find out what
   they are like.
8. Does accreditation matter?
   Since there is no official body setting the standards a lot training
   institutes adding their own ‘accreditation’ to the trainings.

Here are our answers to his questions

Emphasis of the course:
Practical application, our course is structured so that you learn by doing. NLP is not a theoretical subject and through experiential learning you will gain skills and techniques that you will be able to apply in your own life and others. In doing the exercises you will not only learn NLP you will also develop mentoring or coaching skills that will assist you in applying NLP with others as well as yourself. We work from the NLP foundations of rapport, calibration and behavioural flexibility while having a specific outcome in mind. We also have a very strong emphasis on ethics and the appropriate use of these powerful skills.

Group size:
To give you the right amount contact and interaction with course facilitators our maximum group size will be 18 participants. There are usually two facilitators and at least one assistant.

Length of the course:
We adopt The Professional Guild of NLP’s minimum contact time of 120 hours direct contact. We run your course over 6 and 10 months and this 18/20 days at one session per month. We understand the importance of having time to integrate your learning through experience we have found this format works best.

There is absolutely no requirement to do any additional outside study or purchase additional materials as all required material is provided and our comprehensive course more than covers The Professional Guild of NLP’s requirements for Practitioner Level training. For those who want to know more we provide a comprehensive reading, audio and video list to help them develop their understanding and skills.

Structure of the course:
Our NLP Practitioner course is three days Friday-Sunday per month over a six month period. We give a lot of time to experiential learning, a cycle of instruction, practice and reflection. At the beginning of each session, in keeping with our emphasis on practical application in the real world, we share and explore our experiences of NLP over the past month and share our learnings and discoveries as well as answering any questions that arise.

Access to the facilitators:
During the course the facilitators and assistants are readily available during the training and breaks. Participants are encouraged to ask questions and fully participate in the experiential learning. We don’t leave in-between training weekends we offer an on-line forum where you can ask questions and share thoughts and experiences with your fellow participants and facilitators.

How much is the course:
We strongly believe that this amazing and incredibly beneficial technology that is NLP must be within reach of as many people as possible, not just the rich. We provide excellent and affordable training (we don’t use fancy hotels or drive flashy cars) our NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner course is great value at just £1455 with additional early booking discount. £1145 for self funding.

Personality of your facilitators:
We have three very different trainers working on our NLP Practitioner Training. We think that the wide variety of approaches beautifully demonstrates that there is no one ‘true’ way of using NLP it can be used effectively in many ways by many different people. You don’t have to be a clone of the trainer to get results.

We welcome people from all walks of life on our NLP Practitioner training. We also make clear that an NLP Practitioner Training is an opportunity to learn skills not a substitute for therapy. Although it is likely that what you will learn on the course can change your life.

Accreditation:
Communicating Excellence training facilitators are accredited NLP Trainers with The Professional Guild of NLP, one of our trainers is also accredited as an NLP Trainer by Dr. John Grinder ( the co-creator ) of NLP and The Society of NLP ( Dr. Christina Hall)

Your NLP Practitioner is certified by The Professional Guild of NLP. And optionally through the Society of NLP.

How we assess your progress.

• Through continuous assessment throughout the course
• There is no written examination ( NLP is a practical application subject )
• The final weekend is a series of practical exercises that are designed to show your application of your learnings over the course period. Unlike exams most people really enjoy the experience.
