The Content covered during this NLP Trainers training will include the following:
This is a very effective technique that enables you to process the room very elegantly. Many of the NLP Trainer skills are designed to operate at the unconscious level outside of awareness. Subtlety eliciting states within the room, capturing them on stage and drawing on them at will throughout the duration of the training.
Make the stage your natural domain. Fill the room with your presence or leave an invitation for others to comment and contribute. There are ways of using your body and voice to enhance these outcomes. Never be caught off balance because the stage is your home. Most of these NLP processes are outside the awareness of the untrained eye.
This is an essential skill, be it - difficult students, advanced NLP students, related experts, slow learners or saboteurs…
We will cover the language patterns and other strategies to deal with these situations. It is not that difficult when you have the right processes in place and understand how to use them.
This is the lifeblood of the training for an NLP Trainer. We don't just present content and deliver exercises; we prime the nervous systems of the participants just so… Have your students super keen to learn the next piece of content, brimming with confidence regarding their skills and the value of their NLP training, open minded, realistic, and flexible, searching for ways to adapt the training to their lives. You will find yourself naturally setting up these states and more as you deliver the content.
This is a take on the language patterns we learned in NLP Practitioner and NLP Master Practitioner, fine tuned to be effective from the stage. The key is to directionalise the room and individual participants for the most useful way of being in the training at any given time.
These NLP skills will also be of great value for you with other presentations - off the cuff, one hour here, half hour there… You want your superior NLP Trainer skills on display every time you are on stage.
The nervous system responds to references. These references, for the most part, have to be sensory based and can be outside of awareness. As an NLP Trainer you will learn to never miss an opportunity to provide a reference for the students for different aspects of the training. This can even be before the content is formally covered. The students then develop an intuitive familiarity with the content.
There are many ways with NLP to facilitate this:
Use of metaphor, direct sensory-based references, embedded commands, directionalised trance patterns, real life circumstances, exercises…
Learning occurs more naturally and effortlessly. In fact, rather than just 'not missing an opportunity' we design these in. The completion of one piece of NLP content is often the 'unconscious' set up for another, perhaps even for the following day.
We operate at many levels and many run throughs.
Understand how to use these thinking and design tools is very useful from the macro design level to the immediate process of answering a question. You will learn more specifically what they are and how to use them 'on your feet' across the broad spectrum of NLP, from an NLP Trainers perspective.
This is slightly different to the general working at the 'unconscious level'. There are times when it is very useful to run a group trance - often at the beginning or end of the day. Personally, I think it is overdone in the NLP world, but it is an essential skill to have available for yourself and your students.
There is a way to prepare them that enables you to glide through your day. The important aspect here is not only to have them prepared for the day as you see it unfolding, but also to enable you to be fluid and re-design in a heartbeat. Good trainers notes take the anxiety out of the unpredictable moment. You will receive my NLP Trainers notes in the manuals provided for this training.
What would it take for you to stand up there and OWN IT!!! The intention of this program is for each participant to have a private session with me utilizing Integrated Learning elite performance strategies. You will learn how to adapt your own natural processing to naturally step into the identity of a superb NLP Trainer and live up to it.
A hugely important aspect of this is spatial anchoring. Those of you who are more familiar with the Integrated Learning style of training will know how much store I place in the skill. We will cover it again - I don't think you can do too much of it (along with tonal and tempo shifts).
Also we will look at these applications
NLP Basic Anchoring
NLP Stacking Anchors (resource)
NLP Collapsing Anchors (integrating)
NLP Future Pacing
NLP NOFD (New Orleans Flexibility Drill)
NLP Chaining Anchors
NLP Search Anchors (TDS - Trans Derivational Search)
NLP Swish Patterns
NLP Nested Loops
It is important to understand the psychology behind the usefulness of these techniques. Then you can design the use of them effectively. I have seen too many people use them like party tricks and just presume they automatically produce results.
A good NLP Trainer introduces content before formally doing so and continues to develop it after seeming to have formally left it. This is un-noticed to the untrained observer. The timing of the layering can vary training by training, which is great. You are always attentive and alert. After many years of teaching NLP Practitioner and NLP Master Practitioner programs, each program is still refreshingly new due to this philosophy - no two trainings are the same.
Layering is one of the areas where NLP leaves conventional training philosophies behind.
How to move on stage is important. It is important to understand the style that will suit you naturally. There will be individual feedback to that effect. Males are different to females from this perspective, as are tall to short, fuller to thin, angular to curved, quick to steady… Also your personality needs to be considered. Where is your home base? How do you make your NLP Training uniquely yours?
This occurs on many levels with NLP. You want to be able to set up levels of anticipation and expectation while allowing people to feel relaxed and immersed in the experience of learning. Ironically, aspects of traditional accelerated learning environments can be counter productive for this (We will be covering some aspects of Accelerated Learning). To do this well we want to be able to directionalise the formation of a training or group culture. This entails understanding the components of culture and working them accordingly. At times this will be more of a deciding factor than the next most logical chunk of NLP content.
There are a few basic strategies to follow for this one. It has everything to do with how you use your body, angles on stage, gesturing and your voice. And one can do this - we will teach you how. When this is done well, all the participants notice is the effect, not the NLP process behind it.
You will learn strategies to assess participants learning and filtering strategies as they comment and ask questions. Then you will be able to formulate your answers to suit their particular processes as well as incorporate the entire room. Many a time, in an NLP training, I have been facilitating one or two individuals specifically while I have been seeming to answer someone else's question.
We will cover NLP strategies to work at the level of neurological 'flesh and blood' to enhance the learning for participants.
What are the symptoms of different compulsed learning strategies and how do you free them up? How do you expand a students capacity to be aware and process their learning in more sophisticated ways? In this training we will go over templates to facilitate that on the run.
This is an essential skill to develop. Not so much for you and your colleagues to work well together but for that fateful day when you are teamed up with a trainer who doesn't possess these skills. A second cousin to this is when you are following a presenter who has left you with a confused and angry room. Tandem training with someone who can join in these NLP skills is very rare.
There are many ways to integrate learning for your students. We will explore them all - I will give you my tricks and processes I have used over the years including the ones that are generative past the training completion date.
Again, we will look at this component from the dual perspective of applying templates and procedures (insert procedure - produce result) to being creative with the NLP processes and principles.
Understanding and being skilled at this process can help you develop clean NLP skills and thinking strategies for your students. We will also explore the limitations of this model given the true nature of learning through the nervous system.
This also becomes a useful 'in the moment' design strategy in answering specific questions or dealing with specific students processing.
Outcome, chunk, sequence, contextualized and gradient.
All these components need to be understood and factored in. It is during this NLP design phase that you will most often come up with the best use of exercises for your group or training. In short, every group is different even with the same content. This will need to be reflected in your design. We will drill these NLP templates throughout the whole training. They will be second nature for you by the end.
Nice idea.....
You need actual physical skills and models to do this with. We will cover both. Knowing where your room is at and where it is going is vital. Instinctive is the best way to have it.
It actually has a strategy to it.
We will look at the profile of different styles of humour so you can begin the learning of the skill, and design it in, or call on it by demand. Well used, this is a very useful tool for many reasons. (Used for it's own sake can be counter productive). I have seen some NLP presenters end up with the unfortunate comparison as to how boring they are during the rest of the presentation.
This will be addressed to the extent it can be in an NLP training such as this. In reality you will want to be doing ongoing work in this area for years. I don't think it stops actually. It hasn't for me. You will certainly receive individual feedback and recommendations on your own strengths and weaknesses.
These are essential to understand and to provide for your students. It's a good idea to have your own as an NLP Trainer - I do. We look at how you do this on the run from the stage as well as how you can design them in - from the dramatic to the subtly unconscious.
This process almost more than any other can help the participants in how they relate to the content in a way that enhances their learning processes.
There are many models pertaining to the human condition. We will use a couple of them to develop the skill of being meta to human processing and bringing it into an NLP training context. Once you have the idea of using models of influence you can continue to learn and develop your own life patterns, history and learning. The integration strategies for the training room will be fairly consistent.
It is important to have a clear understanding of the values, ethics and morals that should form part of a training environment. We will address these as a community.
Also, there are differing models of 'values' within the study of the human condition. We may choose one or two of them for this training.
These can make or break you.
It is a major error to rely on them at the expense of NLP facilitation skills. Without care they become the training. A significant component here is how do you design them. Well worked, these can be used to develop just the right state for the NLP training room for the stage you are at.
While a very useful tool, this area is fraught with complexity and danger for the NLP Trainer. The main problem is that so many people use them - badly. Your audience has often been conditioned to ignore them or expect naive, banal banter with debrief. We will look at this from NLP design principles based on how people learn and develop relationships to events in their lives. Most of my processes are designed in the moment.
Hugely important for extended programs where people put so much of their identity - i.e. and NLP Practitioner or NLP Master Practitioner training. The elegant use of these tools will help your training glide naturally and flawlessly.
This theme will be presented throughout the NLP Trainers training. What are the variables involved? How do you determine the most significant at any given time? How do you facilitate multiple themes and outcomes at the same time?
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water.....
No matter how well you bullet proof your procedures, someone will find a loophole or ambiguity that you hadn't considered. This is also true of designing forms, handouts, advertisements and brochures.
A useful filter for determining the un-stated dynamics within a training room or an individuals processing.
We are specifically talking about facilitating the learning process, outcomes, identity etc. of the NLP student in the training context. There are many variables (templated) to which you should attend.
Similar to values, there are many models of learning styles out there. One of the outcomes of this program is not to be dictated to by any of them. No matter which ones you use, they may be dated within a couple of years - as they should.
It is of a higher order to know how to train to and from different learning styles. In this NLP program you will practice delivering the same content to different learning styles and training cultures.
Between the participants. The participants to you. Them to the content and the outcomes of the NLP training. Their significant others outside the training room. This list gets added to and subtracted from as the training progresses.
There are some significant components that require attention during the debrief stage: the sophistication of the audience, stage of the training, learning strategies of individuals within the group, relationship to other aspects of life/job/career etc., future set ups for the training, the current culture within the NLP training room, intention of the training, nature of the content, consequences of misuse or lack of understanding of the content, sensory based associations to the content and the debrief...
This is a major part of design and setting up the initial training day, room etc. The key here is to be flexible and able to change outcomes as circumstances develop. An important component of this, particularly with corporate trainings, is to be able to adapt outcomes as circumstances develop while seeming to stay 'on track' with the initial intention. As with many aspects of this NLP training, you will be provided with templates for this.
Working with people on stage can set up many aspects of your NLP training. It is here you can provide references for your students - directly relevant to the content at hand as well as other aspects of the training. It is possible to facilitate the relationship and identity of the participants to the training, each other, yourself, their skill level - all the while maintaining a conversational style.
It is important to understand NLP at many levels. Embodying the concepts and principles enables you to design your own techniques and interventions very quickly. In any given training you will probably find yourself designing techniques and exercises you have never used before.
This is an incredibly useful way to brainstorm and organise your thoughts for NLP training design, individual content pieces and the various aspects pertaining to the actual training. It is also a very useful skill for 'in the moment' reorganizing.
This process provides you with a way to create dramatic effect with your presentations. Your students will find themselves experiencing significant moments of understanding when you apply the principles of this technique.
How to design an extended NLP training and monitor its progress and relevance in ways that allow you to adjust as circumstances require. These skills will also be covered for presentations and trainings of smaller scopes.
This is an essential quality to enable an intuitive unfolding of your program. There are certain elements that need attending to that we will cover in this NLP Trainers training.
