• NLP is used widely in business, and has found its way discretely into many courses on sales, presentations, planning, and team building, often without being mentioned by name. You could choose to study something narrowly applicable to one area, or you could choose to study NLP, knowing that you will be able to apply the principles widely throughout both your business and personal life.

             You can use NLP in

1. Creating rapport with customers, partners and staff
2. Aligning work with values for greater motivation and loyalty of customers and staff
3. Setting outcomes, creatively designing effective plans
4. Detecting people's decision making strategies
5. Public speaking and presentations

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT BENEFITS

• Are you curious about how you can develop yourself, address a personal issue, or build strengths in familiar and unfamiliar areas? NLP offers a cognitive framework, a supportive environment and practical tools that can help you in many ways. The world is a place full of possibility. You can use NLP as springboard and toolkit to uncover and act with more of your full potential.

             You can use NLP in

1. Develop realisable plans that match your highest desires
2. Change outdated beliefs and behaviour
3. Learn new skills and take old ones to the next level
4. Express what's important in a variety of contexts to diverse people
5. Bring out the qualities of the people around you

COACHING BENEFITS

• Many coaching training programmes borrow from NLP or use it as a base, and our courses have attracted many coaches seeking to deepen their understanding of their profession. They've told us that they've found NLP very useful in other ways too.

             We've had reports of coaches using what they've learned with us in

1. Managing state both for coaching and sales - and teaching these skills to others
2. Understanding and communicating non-verbally
3. Noticing and utilising language patterns
4. Developing rapport and creating an atmosphere of possibility
5. Creating change rapidly and elegantly

              Of course the coaches who train with us are also people and they value our               training personally as well as professionally. They also say that the whole               process was a lot of fun.

TEACHING BENEFITS

• If you are in the teaching profession you already value and have developed the ability to impart information so that people learn. However, teachers are far from the only class of people involved in helping others learn. Helping a colleague or employee take on a new task, raising children and making presentations are all forms of teaching.

             NLP can be valuable in

1. Identifying people's natural learning styles
2. Developing flexibility in presentation
3. Leading learners to the best state to absorb and assimilate
4. Dealing with blocks to learning
5. Use of presuppositions & language patterns that make learning easier and faster

HEALTH BENEFITS

• Mainstream medicine is becoming increasingly clear about the link between thought, behaviour and health. Stress is acknowledged to be a causal factor in a great many illnesses. Numerous studies show behaviours like eating patterns, emotional reactions like anger, and thinking patterns like pessimism have been shown to directly affect health. That is likely to be the tip of the iceberg.

  You can use the tools that NLP provides to change the thinking patterns and the behaviours that they initiate to improve the health of yourself and others.

  Whether you are a health professional or simply want to improve the way your health impacts your life, we think that NLP has a great deal to offer, and there is little we find more satisfying than helping people in this area.

             NLP can help you too

1. Create outcomes that include health
2. Manage your state, enter relaxed states that aid recovery and react differently to stressful situations
3. Find meaning in life
4. Change limiting beliefs about body shape and other inherited conditions
5. Change habits and behaviours that damage your health into ones that sustain it

SPORTS BENEFITS

• Whether you are a professional athlete, an occasional amateur, a team coach or just a coach to your kids, NLP has a lot to offer. Our courses have been created by Edward Hines, an ex professional martial artist who continues to coach athletes using NLP to maximise both their performance and pleasure

             You can apply NLP directly to

1. State management and access to the 'zone'
2. Setting performance goals
3. Changing limiting beliefs with regard to performance
4. Modelling and learning from leaders in the field
5. Mental rehearsal of skills
6. Relaxation, recovery and healing

            Naturally you can also use NLP in many other ways, some closely linked and            some tangential to sporting performance.

HR & TRAINING BENEFITS

• More and more organisations today are recognizing the added value that NLP brings to a variety of business activities. Whether it's increased sales, improved relationships or better communication, NLP provides that something extra - the difference that makes the difference to business results.

             NLP CAN HELP YOU

1. Add depth to your training by working on beliefs as well as behaviours
2. Get the most out of your investment by making learning sustainable
3. Access some of the most powerful techniques for bringing about change
4. Provides practical ways for your people to achieve peak performance
5. Enables your people to communicate more effectively and persuasively

BENEFITS OF NLP IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE

OUTCOMES

• NLP consistently asks the key question 'what do you want' out of life. People tend to focus more easily on the things they don't want (i.e. their problems) which can lead to a great deal of analysis but little actual change. One of the keys to success is to have clear outcomes in all areas of your life. NLP offers a set of tools for achieving just this.

RELATIONSHIPS

• Our ability to communicate effectively with others and understand how they are thinking, can greatly enhance the quality of our life. By studying and modelling excellent communicators, NLP is able to show you how to create and maintain rapport, how to be more congruent in your communications and how to understand the intention behind others' behaviour.

CONTROL HOW YOU FEEL

• It is all too easy to feel the 'victim' of events outside of our control. It's Monday morning so we 'feel bad.' What if you were able to take more control of your thinking, feeling and emotional processes so that you are in the driving seat? NLP opens the door to the programmes that run your brain. By understanding how your mind works, you will be able to take more control of your thoughts, emotions and behaviours.

THE PAST

• It can be hard to move happily into the future if we are still dogged by our past. NLP provides ways of releasing unwanted emotions from past events.

BELIEFS

• Our beliefs are the gateways to our behaviour. Because our beliefs are often 'unconscious' we are not always aware of the important role they play. NLP shows you how to identify your beliefs, and if appropriate, change them. This represents some of the most powerful tools for personal change available.

CHANGE

• We all have aspects of our life that we want to change. You will be in a better position to change unwanted feelings and behaviours when you understand more of how you, as a human being work. NLP offers you this and much more.

OUTCOMES / GOALS

• It's a living but is it a life? Many people are not happy in their professional life, yet when you ask them what they really want in a career, they are not sure. Becoming clear on what you want from your work is essential, if that work is going to be fulfilling for you. Equally, within an organisation, having clear outcomes for yourself, your team and the organisation is vital. NLP has been used to great benefit by large and small organisations to make sure that everyone has shared goals and is moving in the same direction.

RELATIONSHIPS / COMMUNICATIONS

• Many organisations pay lip service to the importance of communication skills. Yet, if we think of highly successful colleagues and managers, is it not true that their ability to communicate, influence and motivate is one of the keys to their success?

  The wealth of communication skills that NLP offers provides an invaluable tool for your professional life. You will become more effective as a communicator, and more able to communicate easily with those around you, particularly with those who often seem 'difficult' to deal with.

MANAGERS

• NLP offers many benefits for managers, ranging from the ability to control your state and stay focused, to skills for team management, presentation and leadership skills, negotiation and goal setting.

ENTREPRENEURS / SELF- EMPLOYED

• For those who run their own business or are looking to go self-employed, NLP often proves an invaluable resource. Apart for the benefits already covered, many in NLP have modelled successful business people, to discover the strategies and beliefs that will allow running your business to be both more enjoyable and more profitable.

COACHES / THERAPISTS

• NLP seamlessly fits into existing models of change (psychological, health etc) and adds in a set of practical skills and techniques. These can be used in combination with your existing professional background to help people achieve their goals and master their thinking and feeling. Often these changes happen so deeply and quickly they appear magical to your client!
