How NLP meets your business needs:

Understand the skills of self-management
As organisations get flatter, more managers have more direct reports and hence less time for each one. As organisations grow, more people work from home or on a different site from colleagues, their manager or their team members and so the amount of input from managers reduces even more. To perform effectively every employee must be self-managing to some extent.

NLP techniques and principles can support activities such as goal-setting, self-motivation, overcoming nervousness before an important event, conquering mental blocks, improving decision-making techniques and managing self-development.

Learn how to communicate more effectively
Communication is probably the biggest challenge in any organisation, and the larger it is, the more of a challenge communications become. In the face of increasingly 'flat' company structures, greater reliance on technology and the growing support for diversity in the workforce, effective communication is getting harder, and yet is also becoming more important than ever.

NLP can be applied to work out effective communication strategies for different individuals and groups. By using NLP models and questioning systems we can find out a lot about how others construct their map of the world and how best to structure communications to achieve the desired goal.

Embrace a true culture of learning and development
The pace of life and business is increasing. In the race for market share, most companies have to be highly flexible and adaptable in order to succeed. This means that the workforce must be highly flexible and adaptable too. People need to be able to learn new skills efficiently, manage change enthusiastically and constantly seek out new sources of competitive advantage.

Much of NLP was developed through techniques of modelling, which involves exploring the internal and external processes associated with excellent performance and teaching them to others.

The modelling can be used effectively by organisations to replicate the excellence of certain individuals. For example, wouldn't it be useful to know the real skills difference between your company's top salesperson and the rest? Similarly, for individuals, NLP can help you to develop a reliable strategy for your own learning and how to model skills from colleagues, specialists or even public figures.

Let go of negative experiences in the past
There are an increasing number of people who have experienced redundancy, a takeover, relocation, a merger or some kind of violence or harassment at work. Even the best organisations do not always succeed in helping people come through these experiences with a positive attitude. At worst, a whole organisation may end up demoralised and unproductive through a badly managed merger or change programme. Reluctant though we may be to admit it, many people carry these bad experiences with them which can hinder them from achieving their full potential.

NLP offers some of the best and quickest techniques for acknowledging the personal significance of these experiences and shaking off the resulting mistrust of employers, anger and distress, low morale, lack of motivation and loss of self-worth. Having moved through the negative effects of the events, the individual is then free to consider the value of what they have learned and apply it constructively in the future.

Overall, NLP offers a structured, systematic approach and reliable, effective techniques for dealing with the most challenging aspects of managing people - and 'people' includes you!!!!

NLP Business Practitioner Programme

Leadership through Everyday Conversation

What will you learn?

As a Practitioner of NLP you have probably noticed that you use some aspects of NLP more than others. We all have our favourite techniques for change. What you may not have realised is that while you may have limited opportunities for using NLP techniques with your friends and colleagues you probably talk to them everyday! In fact, the way that you talk to those crucial people in your working life will be a major factor in your success (or frustration!) at work.

Isn't it interesting then, that the language sections of an NLP Practitioner training are often the aspects that people spend less time on, passing them over in favour of more dramatic techniques for creating change. And yet, precise and focused conversation with the people around you at work can create change and success in a way that is almost invisible and won't invite cynicism, suspicion or the scorn that can be heaped upon radical ideas.

Here is your opportunity to learn how to practice NLP every day in such a way that the only thing others will notice is how successful you are, how much influence you have, how others listen to you, how easy you make everything look. We have now re-structured this programme to place the emphasis on group interaction:

  • 6 x 1-day workshops
  • Self-study
  • Evaluation and certification

Workshops

Each workshop will cover one or two areas of language skills at NLP Practitioner level:

  • Framing and re-framing
  • Rep systems
  • Presuppositions
  • Hierarchy of Ideas
  • Meta model
  • Metaphor
  • Milton model

Each workshop will include presentation of theory, group exercises, discussion and applications of the skills to the leadership role. There will be a maximum of 12 people to a group.

Self-study

The self-study material is principally a workbook of exercises to achieve unconscious skill in the NLP language patterns. Each area of skill is introduced, explained and examples given. There are then exercises for each section which take the reader through a process of:

  • language pattern recognition
  • making distinctions within the pattern (where appropriate)
  • generating the pattern
  • combining the pattern with other patterns

Each exercise has enough examples that through repetition the reader acquires a level of unconscious competence with each skill. It's similar to the way some of us learned foreign languages at school.

This self-study material is now available to buy separately. Click here for more information

Evaluation and Certification

Successful completion of the course will lead to your certification as an NLP Language Practitioner. Evaluation will be based on the project, a written test and a verbal test.
Benefits from taking this training programme:

  • Rapport easily maintained even during disagreements
  • Improved delegation
  • Others following your lead more readily
  • Better quality information on which to make decisions
  • Quicker, more effective meetings
  • Greater influence with peers and senior management
  • Giving feedback successfully
