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.

“much more than my expectations were met, I experienced discovering different layers within myself and therefore different potential for helping.

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.

The Fast Phobia Cure is one of the best known and often least understood NLP processes for changing the meaning of traumatic or debilitating experiences from a persons past personal history.

Our Newcastle and Northumberland NLP Practitioner training and Clinical Hypnotherapy training course teaches practitioners and clinical hypnotherapists to use this process in a variety of ways to assist clients and yourself to be able to become free from unwanted and limiting past experiences.

NLP therapeutic interventions essentially take two forms. It is possible to change the problem state by either changing the internal representations that accompany the state or we can change the physiology, the body positions and breathing that accompany the state.

This video demonstration with Nigel Hetherington on a NLP Practitioner training in Newcastle of the Fast Phobia Cure uses both changing physiology and changing internal representations.

There has been some very good weather recently in Newcastle upon Tyne and like myself, I hope you have made and taken the opportunities to enjoy it while it lasts. While away enjoying this summer sun and balmy heat I have been out in the city centre.

And like any other day in Newcastle, I saw one or two street entertainers playing things from what looked like a cup with a rubber band, a one stringed guitar, a drum, a flute, you know, the usual mixture of good and bad. But one man playing an accordion really caught my eye.

During a pause from his playing, this very skilled, tanned and silver haired accordion player started to fumble in his pocket and pulled out a very new looking iPhone. With fingers seemingly as dexterous on his iPhone as his accordion, he looked to be checking email or texts or perhaps just surfing the web.

So how come I noticed his iPhone? Meta Programs.

Some people say meta programs can be described as the generalised repetitive patterns of thought, perception and behaviour that people seem to have. Another way to describe meta programs is where you focus your attention.

Please, these patterns are mostly unconscious, unless you know about them. You see, if you have completed an NLP Practitioner you will already know quite a bit about meta programs … but just in case you yet don’t, let me share a short example …

One of my friends, I remember like it was just yesterday, once told me he had started dating someone and the first time he went to her house he was in the kitchen. Looking around the kitchen out of all the things he saw there he noticed a cup. Now this cup was the same as one his ex-partner has.

Out of everything there to be see in the kitchen his focus of attention noticed the one thing that was similar. This perception of noticing ’sameness’ is called in meta program language ‘Sort for Similarity’. He then, not his best move, continued to tell his new girlfriend his new discovery.

One thing to understand about meta programs is that they are neither good not bad in and of themselves, they are simply repetitive patterns of thought and behaviour. So sorting for similarity will be valuable in some context and sorting for difference will be valuable in some context.

For example, sometimes, some specific meta program(s) may be responsible for a person having a string of failed relationships, they pick the same kind of partner and they have the same kind of experiences which massively contribute to an unhappy and then terminal relationship.

Perhaps in such cases noticing what is different in a fairly specific way could … and I stress could … clear the way for a much healthier more loving and mutually supportive relationships.

This is about not only recognising the language and behaviour of other and ourselves but even more so about being able to change our language and behaviour to ethically realise more of our desires and dreams. To be able to change meta programs for positive applications and purpose.

I don’t want you to take my word for this, just simply consider the possibility that, it is possible to alter, change and influence our own meta programs depending on what we want to achieve or even what someone else wants to achieve.

I am sure you are aware and now getting the bigger picture that the unconscious meta programs you run are to a large extent your patterns that determine your successes and failures in life.

All right, now, so how useful do you believe it is to coaches, therapists, personal developers and any one in the business of change to have a really deep understanding of the application of meta programs?

Our Newcastle NLP Master Practitioner explores and unpacks meta programs in terms of language and behaviour patterns in even deeper and more sophisticated ways than our NLP Practitioner training covers.

And here is an additional invite for NLP Practitioner and NLP Master Practitioners, re-read this article and look out for all of the meta programs. Notice anything you find yourself agreeing with and the ideas and concepts that see to appeal to you but also look out for things that you don’t agree with or sentences that do not entirely grip you.

Our NLP Newcastle based Practitioner and NLP Master Practitioner courses begin this coming September and if you already have an NLP qualification and wish to to it again for all the additional benefits you can for half the usual course price. Now which meta programs does this great offer appeal to?

And while the sun is still out and shining I want to finish my story, and you might be wondering, so how come I noticed this highly skilled accordion players iPhone? Well no mystery there, I have one too!

The weather forecast is suggesting that this coming week the UK will this week experience a week long heat wave. So if you are out walking practising noticing NLP Meta Programs in Newcastle upon Tyne, you might like to keep your eyes peeled to see not just accordion players but one with an iPhone.

If like me and many other people you have been enjoying the summer sun and blue sky’s here in Newcastle upon Tyne, you might also have been enjoying how all this amazingly good weather gets people out of the house and brings us together.

Now speaking of getting out of the house and people coming together, have you ever considered how valuable it is to be able to build new relationships and improve existing ones?

All to often, myself included, I find people can get way to bogged down in work and the things that ‘you have to do’ and quite literally put the most important relationships with friends, family and partners on the back burner.

In any situation be it business, with friends or partners being able to connect and build even better relationships is an invaluable skill.

And, by using some simple tools, building relationships becomes a very learnable skill.

Whatever your job or interest is, you need to be able to connect with people and to be able to build great relationships and this is the ability to connect deeply with people when you choose to do so.

And how do you connect deeply with people? NLP of course!

Now, you have probably had the experience of meeting some people who you really get on with famously, they are warm, seem to say all the right things. They inspire trust and friendship too … you have also likely had the opposite kind of experience with other people too …

Whatever kinds of experiences you have had in terms of connecting ( or not ) and building amazing relationships ( or not ) you will be aware that having the choice to connect deeply and build better relationships is an amazing skill that opens up a massive possibilities and opportunities for both you and the all people you meet.

So, with this in mind, you are invited to consider for yourself and the important people in your life, how further developing your skills and ability to connect and relate to others will improve your life.

With that in mind, we invite you to come to The NLP Cafe because we want those of you who are interested in connecting and building better relationships with others to have the tools to make it easier to connect more deeply with people.

And as you might expect we have scheduled the next NLP Cafe - Building Better Relationships For Summer - for this month in June just in time to for summer and the wonderful opertunities to build better relationships and really connect with people. So while the time is upon us and the weather is good, we invite you to get to the NLP Cafe the month.

And if you book your place now, you can rest assured you will be learning how to improve your skills in relating with people and connecting more meaningfully too as you enjoy the summer … and the new oppertunities that come with the summer sun and blue sky’s.
