The Art & Science of Integrative NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)

NLP Practitioner Certification Training

(160 Hours Over 8 Weekends)

You are invited to begin your journey into the field of NLP with this practitioner level training which will leave you with a greater understanding about the human mind and behavior as well as a set of refined skills which can be used in any area of your life.

What is NLP?

So what really is NLP? Well one definition might be, "NLP is the study of the effects of our communication both verbal or nonverbal on our nervous system." Another might be, "The study of the structure of subjective experience." Are you noticing a pattern here. Whether it is your subjective experience or your nervous system, the common element is You. So let's break it down even further.

Neuro- Having to do with the nervous system

 

Linguistic- Language both verbal or nonverbal

 

Programming- The patterns or programs that we run consciously or automatically

So what does this really mean?

Integrative NLP is about "you"! It is about how you do what you do in your own unique way. And the effects of this may either be to your liking or not. Do the things you do get you "stuck" or are they empowering you as a being? And the only way to influence it, if you so choose, is by discovering more about you. It is about bringing to awareness your own personal recipe of how you do things well and not so well. It's about becoming curious about yourself, your inner workings.

Can I get a general overview of the whole training?

Sure. In each of the weekends over the eight months, we will be covering specific aspects of the concept of NLP, so that you walk away with a global understanding of the field as well as specific maps/models, techniques, and applications of which NLP is comprised. Each weekend will vary with its focus and intent while building on previous weekends. And even though there is a curriculum, you, the individual participant, are the primary focus. And all the individuals together form the group. And so we will move forward throughout the year as a group.

Who should attend?

Whether you are interested in this course to learn more about you for your own personal development, or to become certified as a NLP Practitioner, or to acquire greater depth and flexibility as a communicator, or to learn specific tools to influence others in the realm of sales and marketing, or to learn more about how you can use your mind to improve your health and well-being, you will learn powerful skills and techniques that you can immediately incorporate into your life and your work.

Which professions are already using NLP skills?

How will this training differ from others out there?

If you have looked around there are many NLP trainings out there, and it is important to choose the right one. Some of them teach you NLP totally consciously, so you can really talk intelligently about NLP without any real skill, while others are teaching it completely unconsciously, so you don't have a clue as to how you know what you know. This training will be a fine balance and blend of both so that both minds can absorb the learning's with complete thoroughness. In this training, you will learn through lectures, stories and metaphors, demonstrations, homework, reading assignments, and lots of hands on exercises.

The objective of this training is to begin building in the attitude and beliefs to become a masterful practitioner. And to have you discover a whole new world, one that resides within you.

How is this 8-month training format different from the more common 14, 10, and 7-day trainings?

These days everyone wants the best quicker and faster. We want the information (and more importantly skills) downloaded into us like Neo experienced in "The Matrix". However, this training is much more than transferring information. It is even more than acquiring skills. It is really about owning the skills.

Would you feel more comfortable sitting in a car with a sixteen year old driver or one that is thirty-six years old? Which one owns the skills? Now time is not necessarily the deciding factor. Experience is crucial. A training that lasted 20 days straight would provide you a different experience than 20 days spread over a period of time.

Research shows that the greatest retention of information is that of information which is learned first and which is learned most recently. That is why taking breaks in between the day are so beneficial. Our format takes this concept a little further. Instead of twenty straight days, you'll have eight 2 1/2 days to learn the models, techniques, and applications, and then time in between to integrate, play, explore, and discover how to make these learning's and skills your own.

This training is not designed to overload you, and then tell you that you got it all unconsciously. At the end of this training, you'll know exactly what you have and what you don't. Period. You will decide what you want and get out of this training. And your outcome will be a reflection of your intention set forth going into the training.
