NLP Master Practitioner

This NLP Master Practitioner course has been designed by John Seymour to enable you to take the next steps towards mastery in your personal and professional life. It will provide you with the conceptual, analytical, observational and interactive skills to achieve competence in advanced Neuro-Linguistic Programming. The Bristol, UK based training is centred around:

  • Developing conscious competence and flexibility with the essential NLP skills, models, and tools
  • Developing elegance in managing the multiple levels and perspectives of change and communication
  • Focusing on more generative change processes such as beliefs, values and identity to create solutions in many different contexts
  • Increasingly stabilising those states of consciousness that characterise the transpersonal stage of development

NLP Master Practitioner Syllabus

Seminar 1 – Mastery and Information Gathering

Learn the skills for acquiring mastery – the theory and practice of mastery itself. Effective NLP is 90% information gathering; discover how to generate precision questions, and how to know what intervention will work best.

Seminar 2 – Values, the Heart of the Matter

How we live our lives, right down to the smallest choice, is determined by values. Yet most of our values are relatively unconscious, and most conflicts are values conflicts. Imagine being able to surface these unconscious values in any area of life, identify conflicts, and re-align the key values so as to eliminate the conflicts and clarify your purpose in life.

Choice Points, Personal Congruence Signal, Personal Editing Formats, Breathing Edit, Walking Edit, Stalking, Characterological Adjectives.

Seminar 8 – Integrating Mastery Review and Coaching

The purpose of this seminar is primarily to integrate the diversity of skills on this training and prepare for the final assessment. A comprehensive ‘practice’ assessment allows you to identify and remedy any weaknesses. Key parts of the course are reviewed and coaching used to enhance mastery.
In NLP language
Mastering Coaching Skills, Learning from Weakness and Assessment Practice and Coaching.

Seminar 9 – Assessment, Coaching and Integration

A variety of assessment exercises to integrate skills to the highest standard.
