"Review: September
2002 NLP Practitioner Training Seminar"

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 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!
Kind Regards,
