Certified NLP Coach with Certified NLP

Practitioner

Why use coaching?

Because people have to achieve more and get better results, improve customer service and improve profitability. And it is more cost effective than recruiting people who already have the ability and confidence to make things happen.

Coaching stimulates individuality, empowers employees to take responsibility for themselves and take action to achieve organisational goals.

Why Coaching with NLP?

Because in order to have the confidence to perform at the level you require your managers need to clean up their mental software, get rid of blockages they have and be able to make effective decisions and follow through. “the opponent within one’s own head is more formidable than the one on the other side of the net” Tim Gallwey The Inner Game of Tennis 1970.

Because this course meets or exceeds the International Coaching Federation core competencies.

This programme is a business solution delivered by trainers who have used the materials to produce results in their own business and with others. It teaches the latest thinking in personal change and development.

Who is it for?

HR Directors and Managers, L and D managers, Sales Managers, leaders, coaches, trainers who are open to new ways of thinking and up and coming talent who have the potential to deliver results.

A quote from a delegate:

“So, as well as learning about NLP and how to use it, what else did I get out of the course? Most importantly I feel my mind has been cleaned up and refreshed. I feel able to maintain a positive approach in any circumstance, and I am now more relaxed and calmer than before. There is much more clarity to my decision making, which is saving me huge amounts of time and worry. I’m able to look at events in different ways and find myself looking for the positive angle, not moaning about how bad it is.

This may be hard to believe, but I feel more relaxed, refreshed and refocused than following any holiday I have been on!”

David Wilkin, Head of Finance and Procurement West Midlands Police

Return on Investment
