  • The Milton Model -– the patterns of language that get your message across so easily often bypassing the conscious objections of the listener.
  • Logical Level/Logical Types - how we structure thoughts and ensure clarity
  • Metaphors grounding to stimulate the unconscious to improve the richness of communication and to assist creative solutions from those around you.

There are two themes of training that we cover all the way through your the NLP Foundations:
Emotional Intelligence
provides the NLP foundation that enhances or establishes your “Emotional Intelligence”. The aim is to assist you to create a strong connection with your self, elevate your self-awareness and provides self-management skills. At times we offer this course stand-alone, or to contribute towards your eventual growth with the NLP Practitioner program.
Communicating with Precision and Effectiveness
is all about “Communicating with Precision and Effectiveness”. It offers many practical techniques so you can engage more meaningfully with clarity and eliminating many of the barriers to effective communication. This course provides the basis for ways NLP can enhance our communication skills specifically with others and in doing so enhance the quality of our lives.
