A summary of feedback from the Sugar INLPTA Certified Diploma in NLP during April 2011.

What I enjoyed most……

• Good balance of theory and practise, clear path through a lot of information, perfectly paced
• It covered a range of techniques and how they can be applied
• Being able to actually practise the techniques
• Using persuasive language, goal setting with logical levels
• Practical nature of the course with the flexibility to tailor the day depending on the outcomes of the group.
• Relaxed teaching environment in a beautiful setting and the opportunity to meet new people and experience the knowledge of the trainers.
• Focus on practically useful NLP techniques.
• The opportunity to practise at length and get some great feedback.

 

What I will take away with me from the course……

• Everything – the material and techniques were just right and we had time to practise what we learned.
• Personally it has helped me consider a lot of issues for myself from a different perspective that has helped me move on.
• Loads of tools, heightened awareness of the subtleties of communication, desire to practise and learn more, awareness of just how powerful mastering the techniques can be.
• All of the useful skills and techniques that I can use both personally and professionally with a view to making really positive changes in my life.

Here’s a summary of feedback and comments from the latest Sugar NLP 2-day Introduction to NLP training.

• Pacing and chunking
• The timeline exercise for changing beliefs
• Visual elements, Pacing and Leading, 7 steps to achieving an outcome

What I will take away with me from this course?

• Fantastic, worth trying and well run.
• More tools in my toolbox
• The 7 steps, resource triangle, Timeline, Pace..Pace..Pace.. Lead, to use for work and personally
• Recognising states, questions to elicit detail or values to understand someone, 7 steps to goal setting and a changed belief

• The ability to understand that emotions fuel decisions and the importance of relating a positive emotion to a problem.

 

What I would tell others about this course?

What I enjoyed about the programme most…….

• Every single session challenged my current perceptions and ways of thinking to a very high degree.
• All the sessions were a great balance of exercises, theory and demo. The course seemed to flow perfectly. I have completed a lot of soft skills training, both formally and informally with a lot of talented trainers and this is without a doubt the most insightful, inspiring and meaningful training I have experienced.
• Meeting others interested in the same thing, presentation and pacing.
• The future based exercises. Stories, reframing, timelines, language models.
• Discussion, humour, practising, completing the test questions (surprisingly), getting some free coaching,
• The practical application of the teaching and the balance of having two very effective but different trainers.
• I can see how logically the content flowed together and built up skills. Excellent variety of teaching theory, discussion and lots of practice.
• I really enjoyed the whole programme but the part I enjoyed the most would be representational systems, Milton language and unconscious patterns of excellence.
• The group rapport, space and time given.
• The opportunity to practice techniques.

What I will take away with me from this course…………

• Confidence to actually apply the techniques to personal and work situations and the inspiration to do so.
• The ability to change and help others. HOPE.
• Lots of tools and techniques. Personal insights into my facilitation style and communication.
• Loads and loads – personally and professionally.
• Loads more skills with the confidence and knowledge to practically use and apply it in the real world – with clients, work and myself.
• I now have access to a window through which I can begin to understand the internal world of both myself and others.
• Resources, freedom, skills, confidence, CHOICE.

What I would tell others about this course……..

• It will inspire you, motivate you and challenge you.
• Brilliant, useful, practical.
• It’s really useful and interesting and fun and challenging
• No matter what angle you are looking to use NLP, Sugar NLP will work to meet your needs and learnings.
• It is fun a fun, energising and motivating course which provides essential communication and ‘change work’ skills and the knowledge to practically apply them.
• A great course to find out more about yourself and to gain tools to help you with any blockages. But for anybody that works with individuals or groups it will help in giving lots of extra tools to use with clients. Highly enjoyable.
• Do it.
• Very useful tools and thought provoking.

• The upbeat vibrant learning enabled me to get the most out of the submodality map across and belief change section.
• Contact with others both in the practical exercises and plenty of opportunities to have interesting chats.
• Opportunity to work with so many different people and to ‘experiment’ with the techniques, time to practise.
• The laughing! Practising the different techniques.

• Jam packed, but able to practice + process all the techniques. Lots of different people + their experiences. A great team of trainers compliment each other.
• Variety of styles. Brain gyms, theory, practise, exercises.
• Loved the folder and CD, most of all practical demos and practise.
• Practical. Varied. Two trainers. Days went very quickly.

How I changed personally through my experiences………

• For greater understanding of others and ability to accept their values and beliefs for what they are ……… theirs
• Future freedom, ability to change how I feel about me + past history. Trust my intuition + making friends with my unconscious.
• It has given me the belief that the future will be different from the past and I can be living to my full potential.
• Recognise why others might not ‘get it’ and how I can calibrate to them to help them ‘get it’.
• I feel more able to step back and appreciate experiences.
• Calmer, more relaxed, confident, learning and changing has become fun, my fears are just fading away.
• More confident, more choices, lots of resources for work and personally. I feel calmer, more self-assured and now I know I can ‘break my arrows’.

• Confident has increased considerably.
• More positive. Back on track. Less Frustrated. Well chilled!
