Course Content Students will be asked to work with their own particular issues throughout the course, so the exact contente will vary according to the wishes of the group. However, we will be likely to cover all the main NLP principles relevant to confidence and communication at work, including:
- Maintaining and anchoring positive states - Creating and sustaining a confident presence - Establishing the best possible linguistic, behavioural and cultural rapport with other individuals and groups of all sizes. - Understanding others' values and meta-programs - Implementing change in the workplace, NLP style.
What materials you will need for the course and estimated cost No additional materials are required, as notes will be provided. Students may wish to purchase some of the books brought to class, but this is not nearly as important as active participation on the course itself.
What you should be able to do by the end of the course - Create and maintain a confident state at work. - Understand aspects of your past that may have previously been a puzzle. - Be able to use a range of NLP tools to help yourself/and or others make affirming choices and decisions in the future. - Feel more confident about creating your own life-experiences - Create a plan to help you develop yourself and your purpose at decision points in the future.
The teaching and learning methods we use on the course Experiential learning is key: the most important thing you can do to enjoy and benefit from this course is to bring along your own experiences as whole-heartedly as you can.
There is also some discussion of ideas, pair and small-group work and learning via demonstrations.
