What you will gain
A fresh take on what quality NLP brings to the field of coaching from one of the ground-breaking group of trainers, therapists, and coaches who were there at the start and helped make NLP happen.
This 21-hour workshop will radically enhance your quality and capability, as both coach and meta-coach. Through the essential knowledge and advanced skills covered, you will gain:
- A more solid grounding in who you are – both as a coach and as a person
- An holistic grasp of the way the ‘who’ meets the ‘how’ in our thinking, learning, and growth
- A better understanding of the key ways we stay stuck
- Fresh insight into how change happens and what to do when it doesn’t
- Enhanced ability to support problem solving in almost any context
- Greater wisdom to discern what can be influenced and controlled from what can’t
- The ability to better manage states of mind for learning and development
- Keys to transforming dreams into the future we have always wanted
- A readiness to be your own best coach going forward
And – at the same time – refresh and renew yourself in a beautiful setting, at the Nirarta Centre – with optional twice-daily meditation sessions and extra sessions of ‘innerdance’ and ‘Conversation on the Edge of Silence’
