1. Rapport (connection and communication)

Connect with others more quickly and easily. Create trust and more open and honest communication in your relationships. Deepen and improve your relationships with friends, colleagues, spouse and children. Establish an atmosphere of ongoing friendliness with people you have just met. 

Rapport skills include several abilities including calibrating the emotional state and response of others, utilizing multiple perceptual positions to genuinely get the other person's point of view, sensory acuity and utilizing other people's map of the world.

If you want to improve any particular relationship in your life, or simply improve your communication skills over all, this module is for you.

Sensory Acuity

Learn to use the subtle non verbal cues of others to deepen understanding and clarify communication.

Obtain the valuable information you need to solve problems and resolve conflicts.

Easily identify unconscious patterns in others. 

2. Presuppositions

The heart of NLP and of long term change is living by new "presuppositions". These are ways of perceiving that will make you more effective and resourceful in every situation you encounter. Once you learn them, you will experience hundreds of other positive changes and benefits automatically, as a result.

These (mostly NLP based) presuppositions were modeled over 20 years ago from extraordinary people who were highly effective in fields like medicine, therapy, hypnotherapy and science.

Perceptual Positions

One definition of genius is the ability to perceive things from multiple points of view. One look at da Vinci's notebooks, or the work of geniuses like Disney or Michelangelo, and you'll notice an astounding yet undeniable use of multiple points of view.

Skill in multiple points of view will allow you to obtain a level of information gathering far beyond the norm.

Entire horizons of possibilities and complete classes of resources are only accessible when you have learned to view all time frames (your past, present and future) from multiple viewpoints.

3. Modalities & Submodalities (the structure of experience)

Learn to effect human behavior at the deepest level for long term results. Learn to identify and influence the very structure of experience itself. Know how and why certain people succeed more often while others do not.

Know exactly what to change to get a better result. Discover a simple model for behavior that lets you get results time and time again. To understand modalities is to know what makes people tick, how they organize their world and how to influence behavior more effectively.

4. Emotional State Management and Anchoring

Learn the core skills for exceptional state management. Feeling good is important to all of us and is especially vital if you're in sales, management or leadership. If you want to be a champion, you must spend time in extraordinary (peak performance) states.

This section of the training will show you how to elicit optimum states in yourself and then cause them to become automatic habits.

The first secret of state management is to condition yourself to feel good more often. One helpful key to doing this is to eliminate harmful patterns and painful memories that may be preventing you from feeling good more of the time.

But that's just the beginning. The heart of exceptional state management is to acquire the ability to trigger your self into your most resourceful emotions at will.

Experience more time in positive emotional states like flow and momentum. If you don't feel good every single day, this module will show you how.

Many of my students feel that the state management skills taught in this course are worth the entire amount they invested in the training.

The basic state management skills we will cover include:

Eliciting and accessing emotional states in yourself and others.

Maintaining resourceful emotional states.

Amplifying emotional states.

Determine the most appropriate emotion for any given context.

Calibrating (identifying) to emotional states.

Anchoring (triggering) certain emotions when you need them.

Cultivating and increasing emotional flexibility.

At least one extraordinary peak performance state such as momentum, creativity, or flow.

Interrupting destructive and unpleasant emotional states and minimizing inappropriate emotional responses.

Creating, triggering and extending the length of time you spend in extraordinary, peak performance states.

5. Outcomes

Learn to establish well formed outcomes. Clarity is super magnetism, and one of the most important habits for manifesting your desires and being a genuine resource for others.

Specifying your goals and dreams in this particular way will empower you to accomplish your goals more quickly and easily and assist others to do the same.

Be able to move any interaction in a positive direction easily and naturally. Reduce wasted time and energy when working on important projects. Learn to make your future compelling so it motivates you to action!  

6. Re framing (assigning meaning to events)

What is happening in your life is far less important than how you are choosing to interpret and perceive what is happening. It is how you respond to what's happening that matters. And it is easier to respond effectively when you are interpreting the situation in a resourceful way.

NLP has taken the art of 'choosing your perception' to the max. It's vital to learn how to perceive any situation in a way that empowers you.

Once you heighten your re framing ability, you will never again experience problems in quite the same way. For one thing, problems and difficulties won't overwhelm you. Secondly, they become resources automatically.

Most people find this way of living difficult to imagine, and yet with re framing capabilities you will be able to remember to choose and determine the meaning of virtually every event in your life.

It's quite accurate to say that your resources increase geometrically once you truly become proficient in re framing.

7. Ecology

Ecology is the ability to make any change (in actions, beliefs, skills, identity or values) align with your life system so it is in harmony with your most closely held values, beliefs and way of life. Healers and therapists who do not understand and use ecology are dangerous.

This skill will allow you to eliminate what is commonly referred to as 'secondary gain'. Ecology helps you turn problems into resources and difficulties into the perfect ingredient for obtaining your objectives.

8. Strategies (cognitive sequences)

In NLP the word 'strategies' refers to a specific cognitive sequence that creates a particular result. In other words, a strategy is a combination of pictures, sounds and feelings that produce a result like motivation or creativity.

This training will show you how to up-level your personal strategies for motivation, creativity, learning, improvement, decision making and organizing time.

Learning 'strategies' will help you notice what you're doing when things are working well, and to do it more often and in more places in your life.

Conversely, you'll recognize more consciously what it is you do when things are not working, and replace those things with methods that do work.

9. Language Patterns

Meta Model

Learn the meta model, a way to cut through the fluff of generalizations, distortions and deletions used by yourself and others.

The meta model is a superlative tool that will allow you to gather information better and more accurately than ever before.

10. Language Patterns

Milton Model

Learn to use language masterfully. Influence and communicate with yourself and others more effectively and elegantly. Energy flows where attention goes; and attention is directed by language! Learn to direct and control attention and energy using language.

Learn Ericksonian hypnosis, one of the most powerful and effective methods of creating and utilizing trance states to potentiate resources.

Apply hypnotic language patterns to induce trance states, change beliefs, structure identity, facilitate outcomes and enhance values and relationships, all in the space of a normal conversation.  


11. Future Pacing (installing resources permanently)

To future pace is to install something in your future so it is permanent. This skill virtually guarantees that your future will be better than your past.

Make sure you have the specific skills and information you need at important times an places in your future. Learn to install behaviors, beliefs, skills, viewpoints and values so they are permanent and automatic.

12. Interventions (patterns of effectiveness)

Learn specific optimum patterns for eliminating fears, phobias and compulsions, creating motivation, building self esteem and confidence, eliminating procrastination, creating new behaviors, changing beliefs, stopping bad habits and much more.
