NLP Practitioner Training
Written by Carrie Mackerwicz, Life Coach. NLP Minnesota, USA.
 I have been pleased far beyond my expectations with Steve
Boyley’s NLP training and the resulting transformed world into which I have
since emerged. Steve was more than adept, displaying not only
a mastery of the concepts he taught, but also an elegantly effective teaching
style laced with a charisma and bold humor that is impossible not to love.
The set-up was easy with very affordable lodging right across the street from
the seminar at the Downtown Motel. I was amazed at how friendly and
hospitable the staff was; they even went so far as to throw us a barbecue
on the last night of the training. While Prince George was a peaceful
place with a lovely park and gorgeous surroundings, my mind was so compelled
in the inward direction for those eight days that I might not have noticed
much if the seminar had been conducted in the middle of a construction site.
I thoroughly enjoyed immersion into the world of NLP and the mind during
lectures, during the many exercises we did to practice the principles, and
during class breaks and mealtimes while sharing ideas with classmates.
These interactions were one of my favorite aspects of the seminar, providing
quality friends with whom I will be able to have quality conversations about
reality and the magical potentials of the mind for years to come.
The ability to teach well is a gift, and the depth of Steve’s
teaching is at least three-fold. First, he is a living, walking,
constant example of the principles he teaches. As most are aware, this
is one of the most effective ways to teach, and for me it was a great inspiration.
Second, he brings the teaching itself alive with a tremendous capacity
to impart information in such a way that it is enticing and fun to sit back
and just drink it all in. He does this with numerous true stories, metaphors,
jokes, and various other forms of quirky, if delightfully irreverent entertainment.
This seminar would have been worth the money for the eight straight days
of quality entertainment alone. And of course not even the most
talented wordsmith, storyteller or comedian can do justice to teaching concepts
if he does not first have a crystalline, precise understanding of the material
itself. Steve obviously does. Whether through creative or the
most simple means, he always found a stellar way to transmit the information.
And, his attention to individuals and their questions/feedback/concerns was
generous. The third, and probably most powerful aspect of Steve’s
teaching was his direct installation into the class (using the very same NLP
skills he was teaching) of the confidence and belief in our abilities to learn
and utilize our own NLP skills. I was touched in fact, by the attention
he devoted to understanding where each class member was at in his/her mind
and then tailoring his programming to assist each individual in the areas
where he/she needed it most. I imagine that this programming is why
I left after the eight days feeling very much like my world had changed.
While I’ve left most seminars before feeling profoundly inspired, this time
I felt not only inspired in my conscious mind, but also fundamentally transformed.
I have felt far more confident and immediately had a notable effect on the
people around me in terms of advertising my services as a life coach, and
in having a more powerful effect on my clients in session. This pleasant
effect is snowballing as each day I get more inspired, feel more of my own
value, and my creative visions for the future grow more clear.
Some added bonuses we received have allowed me to keep
alive the spirit of the seminar and easily continue to learn and progress.
These include two manuals complete with information and exercises on most
topics we covered in the class: representational systems, sub-modalities,
eye-accessing cues, rapport building, hypnosis, meta model, milton model,
language and tonality, the T.O.T.E. model, anchoring, mind maps, strategy
elicitation, DHE and a lot more. Steve also gave us two CD’s, one on
hypnosis and the other on negotiation, both valuable tools to learn by and
powerful anchors to bring back the feeling of the seminar and the inspiration
it provided. Also, Steve offers regular free live webinars on
related topics of interest. With all of these continuing tools it
is almost as if the seminar hasn’t ended. My new experience that
began with the seminar continues to grow making more solid my presence as
the person I really am, and more deep my conviction that the ability to create
any reality I please is as simple as making a choice.
I whole-heartedly recommend Steve Boyley of The Performance
Institute for NLP practitioner training.
