Two NLP accreditations for all Tranceforming NLP students

All Tranceforming NLP courses are now fully accredited with both The Society of NLP (SNLP) and ANLP. On certification all students automatically become full ANLP members (one year's initial membership) and members of Richard Bandler's longstanding NLP Society, first created in the 1970s.

NLP Prac v Master Prac

The difference between the NLP Prac and the Master Prac is that the Practitioner is an opportunity to uncover the NLP tool kit and to begin to explore the key principals of using NLP in different contexts. The Master Practitioner is an opportunity to extend this awareness and begin to learn about using NLP in a more multi layered manner and with an increasing amount of sophistication. The NLP Master Prac also includes the SOM weekend from Doug O Brien and a day on either applications of NLP in therapy or business. As with all Tranceforming NLP trainings the emphasis is on skill development and teaching occurs in small groups to ensure everyone receives the very best attention.

Online Resources

In 2005 I set up http://www.nlpmp3.com/ which was the first independant site to offer free NLP interviews and articles from all schools of NLP. To date we have Richard Bandler. Steve Andreas, Michael Breen, myself, Frank Farrelly, Sue Knight, Doug O Brien, John LaValle and many others. All interviews are unedited and we have some pdfs of interviews also as downloads.

NLP - Entertainment v Learning opportunites

When I first learned about NLP in the 1990s the emphasis was very much on learning and devlopment and even though the workshops were "entertaining" the focus was definately on development of the NLP skill set. In recent years I have noticed that there is a definate drift towards entertainment rather than learning, which IMO has not helped to position NLP as a credible set of tools. The internet abounds with claims from indviduals offering newer brighter NLP, often lumping in all manner of new age approaches which of course have nothing to do with real NLP. Fortunately there are still quality trainings out there and I set up http://www.nlpmp3.com/ to provide a voice above the some of the craziness that frequents the newsgroups! Some of the smartest and best minds are still offering trainings and long may they do so!

Become an NLP Practitioner

This Oct 3 - 5, 17 - 19th we are running another NLP Practitioner course. This is the most popular of all certified events and is endorsed by Richard Bandler the co creator of NLP. Full details can be found at

http://www.tranceformingnlp.com/nlp_practitioner_training_seminar_leeds_uk.php

and the course "opens up the NLP tool kit" with an emphais on using these tools rather than talking about NLP! Many people are surprised at just how much they learn during this event and how useful it is in daily life, regardless of whether you want to attend to personal development reasons or to use these tools in a business context

Hosting Frank Farrelly in the UK

I first met Frank Farrelly in 2004 and was immediately blown away by his level of skills. Both Richard Bandler and John Grinder was influenced by Frank in creating NLP in the 1970s and I inteviewed both Richard and Frank about each other on http://www.nlpmp3.com/.

Tranceforming NLP began hosting Frank in 2005 and have done so every year since then. Frank will be in the UK Nov 1 & 2nd in 2008 for his annual weekend event ( see http://www.tranceformingnlp.com/)

In 2004 I was amazed that there were so few resources for PT and have set up http://www.provocativetherapy.info/ and http://www.associationforprovocativetherapy.com/ to provide more information on Frank's work

John LaValle day 3

Today was the final day of this excellent seminar. John covered a huge amount of key information and added in a whole section on time which I have not come across in any previous NLP trainings!
I have seen John at many trainings, but this was IMO the best to date!
