This brand new NLP Master Practitioner course has a focus on just one word: SUCCESS! – Personal and Professional.
It’s a fantastic opportunity to deepen and expand your skills. This intensive 20-day training over 7 months (weekends – Saturday & Sunday – 10.00 am to 5.00 pm) will give you the opportunity to truly integrate your learning, and have a plan on how to build success with your growing self-confidence and expanded knowledge and skills.
NLP Master Practitioner training is not just about learning additional models; it’s about deepening knowledge in a meaningful way and developing the wisdom to generate greater clarity of purpose and understanding, both for yourself, and your clients. You will go from simply following procedures, to designing purposeful, dynamic, outcome-focused actions.
With a focus on the NLP Modelling methodology and applying this set of tools and models in developing success, both personal and professional. To demonstrate the power of the NLP Modelling process, we will be completing a live modelling session with a past UKCPD graduate that has successfully built his NLP and Coaching practice. Then, in a later session, he will present his model on HOW he modelled “sporting excellence” to end my ‘Job’ to create his “Passion for Coaching”
