experiential science. Books and tapes are useful, but seminars conducted by
competent trainers allow you to observe live demonstrations, practice in a
supportive environment, get individual feedback in real time, and make safe,
effective, and permanent personal change. There is nothing like being
a full participant in our training... the difference is like reading about
sex verses having the real in-between the sheets experience. No comparison.

Q. What skills are covered in the practitioner training?
A. The practitioner training is all about
personal change. You learn to create an owner's manual for your brain and
get intimately connected to your unique combination of beliefs, values,
mental strategies and behavioral patterns... and then learn to rewrite,
change, or optimize what you already have in place. Or even install
something completely new.

moments.

business, management, sales, training, negotiations, the court room, the
class room, counseling, therapy, personal relationships, parenting, nursing,
public speaking, sports performance, and more.
Q. Is NLP manipulative?
A. NLP IS a
powerful communication tool... and practioners could be said to use their
skills to manipulate a conversational exchange, just like a young woman on a
first date may flirt to manipulate a boy to make sure she gets a kiss and a
second date or more. Manipulation is a good thing as long both parties have
the experience that they won in the exchange. An automobile in the right
hands can move the world, in the wrong hands it's a wrecking machine. So no,
nlp is not manipulative, but but people can be.
This Institute grounds all our students that every exchange be a win-win and
at no time is the possession of superior skills give permission to take
advantage of another.

yourself?

80% of all people that are certified never use their knowledge in a coaching
or therapeutic environment. The use their skills completely for personal
transformation. You can apply
many of the NLP patterns to make your own life more rewarding. You can change how
you feel, install new learning strategies, change habits, motivate yourself,
and much more. Some processes require facilitation by a trained NLP
Practitioner.
Q. Does NLP deal with
emotions?
A. Yes! One of the most exciting benefits of NLP is that even highly emotional
issues can often be resolved without dredging up or reliving painful
experiences from the past. NLP
helps people transform debilitating emotional experiences into empowering,
resourceful states, pleasantly
and effectively. In fact, a direct result of our training is the conscious
ability to choose one's emotional response.
Q. What about
communication with others?
A. NLP offers powerful
tools for effective communication; within yourself, and with others. Most
of us naturally assume everyone else is operating just like us. We act as if
they have our brain. By
recognizing that other people have different values, brain patterns, and
unique perspectives, you
can learn now to communicate beyond the conscious filters of an individual,
in the way they need to get the information, instead of the way you would
want to receive information.
Q. What is TimeLine
Therapy?
A. Based on the
observation that much of our behavior is temporally (time) based, time line
processes are powerful and dramatic technology for affecting change at the
deepest levels. Shame, fear, guilt, phobias, anxiety, are eliminated
quickly and easily; even personal history can be changed. New resourceful
skills can be installed into one's past recall and generate new options
