"Review: September
2003 NLP Practitioner Training Seminar"
Interview
With Dar Dixon. NLP. Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Professional actor Dar Dixon is a rising star on the
Hollywood scene. Watch for him on your screen.
Questions from Stever Robbins are in bold,
followed by Dar's answers.
What skills were taught? Extraordinary
Communication Skills!! I now have the ability to EFFECTIVELY and
ELEGANTLY communicate, negotiate, resolve, entrance, and hypnotize.
YEA!!!
What was the teaching quality? The teaching
quality was very good. The course follows a structured outline;
however, the delivery is (seemingly) unstructured. It was unique and
effective. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Did the trainer explain clearly? Yes.
Steve takes all the time that is needed to make sure everyone understands
the material. Questions are encouraged.
Did he help when you had trouble?
Absolutely.
Was he patient? Yes. He MAY also BE A
PATIENT – in ‘loony’ bin. HA! HA! That was very punny of me!
Where was the training held? The training
was held at the Days Inn in the center of town (Prince George, BC, Canada).
How long was the training? 8 days long.
Each day went from 10-10. There were plenty of breaks and 2 long meal
breaks.
Where did you stay? I stayed at the Downtown
Motel, right across the street from the Days Inn. It was clean, quiet,
comfortable and safe. And, it’s considerably less expensive than
anywhere else.
Was it worth the money? The entire
experience was well worth the money I spent. As of this writing, I am
still discovering the enormous amount of information that I received!
What did you like about the training? I
loved the loose, casual feel of it. Some may find it a bit unusual.
Especially if you’re only seminar experience has been “corporate” and/or
scholarly. Personally, I have discovered that this type (loose)
atmosphere is the MOST conducive to EFFORTLESS LEARNING. I am surprised
everyday by the “stuff” that I use because of it.
What didn't you like? I have no complaints!
How did it compare to other trainings (and which,
specifically)? I left Steve's training feeling
satisfied and sure of the material. I have attended seminars by Ross Jeffries and Al &
Marilyn Sargent. Both employed a similar teaching style. Both
were very unstructured and the information was not necessarily presented in
the most coherent way.
What outcomes can you now reach that you couldn't
before? I KNOW that I can achieve any goal that I set for myself.
And, I can accomplish them with a variety of different approaches.
Can you give examples of situations you've been in
where you acted differently because of the training? Immediately
upon my return home, I helped an acquaintance by using elicitation
strategies to uncover her problem. We agreed upon some specific
suggestions for her unconscious mind that would be the most beneficial for
her situation. Then, with her permission, I induced her into a
hypnotic trance, gave her the suggestions and brought her back out of
trance. She was absolutely delighted and was looking forward to
discovering the results!
What was different? I came home BUZZING with
excitement and energy and desire. I had wanted to take NLP training
for the last 15 years. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and
quantity of information. I feel unstoppable, confident, happy and
raring to attack life!
Were there any supplementary materials, handouts, or
workbooks? Yes, there were plenty. Plus, we were surprised
by receiving 2 bonus CD’S from Steve. One dealt with Negotiation
Skills and the other with Hypnosis Skills. All of the materials,
handouts and workbooks were very helpful. The CD’S are packed full of
fantastic information. It’s like having a mini refresher course to
listen to at my leisure.
How was the content? The content was
presented in a variety of ways so that all would be able to see how the
information being presented could be applied to their field of expertise.
The presentation quality? Steve has an
infectious, upbeat, positive attitude that permeates the air. He
brings it with him wherever he goes! I really appreciated that,
considering the amount of info and time that we spent together in the
training. Steve also possesses one of the CRAZIEST personalities that
you will ever meet…on this planet!!!
He laughs constantly. He is very sharp and very
funny. There were at least a dozen times that I was in tears from
laughter. HE IS MY KIND OF GUY.
