NLP Practitioner Training 2004
 Written
by Mike Lalonde. CHt, NLP Nova Scotia, Canada.
I attended the The Performance
Institute of NLP during July 2004 at Prince George, British Columbia. The
course was held at the Days Inn from 10am to 10pm July 23rd to the 30th and
until 6pm on the final day.
Steve Boyley was the instructor.
Steve is an intelligent and personable man with a strong desire for his students
to have a complete understanding of NLP. Even after the course
Steve follows up with each student, reminding them to review the manuals and
listens to the 2 CDs in order to completely retain all that was taught on
his course. Steve teaches NLP by using NLP and his emphasis is on
the practical application of NLP, rather then the terminology. This
is not to say that he doesn’t cover the terminology in a thorough manner.
Steve is a high energy individual and lives what he teaches.
He is the same person in and out of the classroom.
 Steve
explained all issues / topics of NLP clearly. I feel I had a good
grasp of each application after hearing and practicing each topic he lectured
on. He is a patient instructor, who will take the time to make sure
you see and understand any points that may have not been ‘loud and clear’
during his lectures.
During the course you gain exceptionally
useful knowledge; how to gain / maintain and break rapport, how to
produce ‘well formed goals’ that achieve positive results and excellent negotiation
and communication skills (Meta / Milton). When you take this course,
you will begin to identify and work with submodalites, anchors, and strategies
to become effective at using your brain for a change. Not only will
you have a strong understanding of linguistics, you will gain the ability
to ‘model’ excellence. What I found impressive was learning how each
skill and sub-skill relates to and uses each other to produce positive outcomes.
 We
received roughly 12 hours a day of instruction, except for the last day, which
was only 8 hrs. On completion of the course, we had our course party/
BBQ that eventually ended up at Steve’s place. You couldn’t possibly
think there wouldn’t be a social event at the end! Could you?
(Thanks Steve, you and your entire family are great hosts/hostesses!! )
At first I was perhaps a bit apprehensive
about 12hr of instructions a day and was worried a bit about the retention
of the amount of info taught each day. Of course, when you learn NLP
by NLP, you’ve already learned what you are going to learn several
hours before it is taught. This becomes evident to you later, that night
just before and after you’ve fallen asleep. CONFUSED? NLP Rocks!
SWEET! FIRE those neuro- pathways!
I loved this course.
It has been a month since I finished this course and I’m still receiving
insight from Steve’s teachings. It has changed my life in many positive
ways. I’ve found that I am better able to focus on my goals (which
are now ‘well formed’). This has drastically simplified my life and
made me a happier me. In every facet of my life, I have felt
a positive rippling effect!
Another positive outcome
is a clear ability to help other people to help themselves either overtly
or covertly. Since my graduation and certification as a NLP practitioner
/ Hypnotherapist, I’ve already helped several clients to:
 I’ll
remember this course with great fondness for the rest of my life, because
of the friends I made there and the rich experience they brought with them
to make this course a “sweet” experience indeed! Everything; our ‘lesson
in the park’; the walking tour given by Steve afterwards; our lunches out
together; all this made the course, but mostly our breaks in between, because
it was there that we put into practice that which we learned in a realistic
environment. And it was there, that I watched us gradually become efficient
linguists. OH YEAH!!! …..The training…… that was awesome too!
After you complete this course,
you too will see exactly why so many in my class have said “The course is
worth the investment”
I went into this NLP training as someone
who had an interest in NLP after having done a bit of research and reading
a few books. I have emerged from the NLP training course as a more confident individual
and am confident of my own abilities as an NLP practitioner. I’m not saying
that I “know it all”, I don’t! What I am saying is I know that with
NLP if there is something I want to know, I will know it well and in a short
period of time.
If you desire to excel in any or
all areas of your life, then I would highly recommend that you take the course.
If you are uncertain as to whether you should take the course, then you should
take the course as the experience alone is worth the money! As
for myself, I am a NLP practitioner who fully intends to become an NLP Master
Practitioner under the tutelage of Steve ‘Boyleying point’ Boyley.
Thanks for everything Steve!
