This was my second Premier Practitioner course with the NLP Academy, the first being the double track in September.
I had three outcomes:
1. To learn more
2. To be more confident in my ability as a practitioner of NLP
3. To develop an even better relationship with my ‘unconscious’ (read: whole self)
And I came away having got what I went for – and so much more.
I don’t usually wax lyrical but I can’t imagine there being a more enjoyable, more effective and more rewarding NLP Practitioner course out there. John, Carmen and Michael have designed a real treat with this tripartite experience of a lifetime.
To begin with, you get three remarkable trainers who care deeply about the learning experience they give. Each of them has unrivalled knowledge in their field along with a very individual teaching style. You usually only get one trainer of such calibre on a course but every single minute is jam-packed with just them. And honestly, how often do you get the opportunity to spend time with a genius AND the co-creator of NLP?!
John is such an inspiration. So universally understanding and articulate. What can I say, I have trouble articulating some things some times and this is one of those times. Quite simply, I love John.
Carmen nurtured us like we were her own brood. I didn’t go to this for any sort of ‘fixing’ and wasn’t expecting the afternoons with her to be so focussed on ‘me’ but it was a rewarding and enjoyable experience and I have some fun tools that I didn’t even imagine I needed. I love Carmen.
Michael. Often entertaining, always (always?! yes) watching to make sure everyone is catered for, and there to feed us that extra drop of knowledge. He generously ran practice sessions for us every evening. I love Michael.
Then of course there are the people you meet - eager participants and mentors from 15 different countries to share the rich experience with and learn from. What a bloody riot it was too.
And lastly, a newcomer to the scene… the ice bucket. Say no more.
Overall, a mix of ambiguous adventures, delicious discoveries, and plentiful practice.
And many people asked me why I was doing it again. What fun.
