NLP Practitioner Training 2002
Written by Brenda Holder. President, Ultimate Playtime

 I
really enjoyed taking the NLP training in September by Steve Boyley and I
felt a few comments would be in order, since there were so many great things
that came out of the training for me.
The B&B I stayed at was excellent, and myself and the other
guest staying there commented on the “family” feel of the place. Bernie
and Marion are excellent hosts and made my stay in Prince George very comfortable.
The price was very reasonable! You get a comfortable room, an awesome
breakfast and a ride to and from the training facility. The choice of
places to eat was a bonus; in particular, it is very handy to have so many
choices in such a close proximity to the training.
The other students also added a lot of fun to the class
time, and having a full complement of students is a valuable learning experience
in itself. International and national alike, we all learned a great
deal from one another and many of us are still in touch.
The skills taught were as per the outline, the trainer;
Steve Boyley delivered what I expected and more. His teaching style
was refreshing and the explanations cleared up a lot of questions I had about
NLP. The mere fact that I attended this training is a testament to the
fact that it just can’t be learned from a book! Everyone at the training
I discussed this with agreed that now we can go back and read those books
to finally gain from them! Before the training, things just did not
make sense, and now with a greater understanding of the components of NLP
and the model of it, I feel that I can pick up a book or a video on NLP and
understand what I am reading or viewing. Steve’s explanations were very
good and when there was still confusion, he used as many ways of explaining
the concept as it took for us to gain an understanding. Thanks for being
so patient and not giving up on us Steve!
The training was held in Prince George BC, very easy to
get to. The training was of eight days duration, and I can not believe
that someone would think you could do all that in a three day course.
There was sufficient practice time, time to ask questions, and plenty of time
to learn and understand the ideas. If the course was less than eight
days, I think it would have caused a lot of confusion; any longer than eight
days would have caused my neural network to frazzle! For the duration,
the content and the little extras, the value for the training was excellent
and well worth the price! It is affordable, and Steve even makes coffee
for us in the morning!
What I liked most about the training was how we learned
to do something, and then learned the theory behind it! A double whammy!
There was nothing in particular that I did not like about the training, although
my least favorite thing was the length of time of the days; however, I can
certainly understand the logic behind it. In comparison to other trainings,
this one rocks, I did one with the American Board of Hypnotherapy, and although
it was good, it left me somewhat confused (it was only three days).
Steve cleared up a lot of questions I had (without even having to ask them!)
and I began to piece it together in a more logical form for myself, which
I could not before. As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, I fully believe, that
hypnosis should never be taught without having a good understanding of NLP,
and I think Steve Boyley’s training is one that should be implemented into
the ABH!
The most useful aspect taught in the NLP training that allowed
me to reach outcomes I couldn’t before is the “mind control panel!”
What a useful tool. It enabled me to get on the phone to Corporations
to sell my guiding programs. I have never been able to do that before!
As a guide I am often asked to give presentations on Bears, Aboriginal History
etc, and although I can do this while guiding, it was difficult to get up
in front of a group of people in a board room to do this. However, now
I am able to act differently because of this training, before I might get
defensive with controversial questions, now I can detach myself and deliver
a neutral answer, without getting caught up in the emotions.
The supplemental CD’s, handouts and the workbooks were
great. The content is pretty full on, and I can easily refer to those
materials when I need to. Overall the presentation of the training was
exceptional, and I gained far more out of it than I expected. The rest
is up to me now to make the most of it: practice, practice, practice!
