This programme provides an amazing introduction to the personal and team development opportunities available through Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), together with continuous linkage to how to incorporate NLP tools and techniques at work, even in the most challenging of environments.

If you ...

• ... have heard that NLP is extremely powerful but been concerned by suspicion that it is manipulative

• ... have decided to do an NLP course but been put off by the large group sizes that seem so common among many providers

• ... have a desire to understand how to use NLP in an holistic fashion across a range of business applications

• ... want to study with the most experienced "NLP in Business" team in the UK

... then this programme is for you.

The outcomes from the programme can be considered in two ways: those for you as an individual and those that will accrue to your business.

Overall, by the end of this workshop you will ...

• Understand the keys to the practical applications of NLP at work and at home, while still preserving your own style and personality.

• Know how to establish and maintain the highest levels of rapport, even under the most challenging circumstances.

• Increase your understanding of, and influence with, so-called "difficult" people.

• Increase your ability to think and act more systemically.

• Have a good working knowledge of the fundamental skills of NLP.

• Have developed your thinking in how to further enhance work/home balance.

Specifically you will be able to ...

• Know how to establish compelling goals for yourself and others in such a way that it becomes possible to determine the level of commitment (and therefore the likelihood of success) before you start.

• Communicate in ways that enhance understanding and interest.

• Build quality relationships, based on trust and confidence.

• Understand how to manage change and the various influences on it.

• Understand situations from different points of view and be able to take effective, balanced decisions to gain the co-operation and commitment of everyone involved.

• Recognise the impact of your own and others' body language.

• Motivate yourself and others by determining the values and criteria by which decisions are being made.

• Recognise and manage conflict in a way that promotes personal congruence.

• Be aware of your own and others' use of both enabling and inhibiting patterns in language and behaviour, and challenge these patterns to increase learning and potential for change.

• Have a greater understanding of, and respect for, the different ways that people make sense of their experience, leading to more choice and influence.

• Consider and adopt beliefs that support and create a learning culture.
