A whole new way to learn

13 June 2026

By Linda Ferguson

For almost as long as I have been running NLP Canada Training, people have accused me of making unnecessary changes. “It’s good enough,” they say. What they mean is, stop transforming the course and focus on growing the business.

They’re not entirely wrong. But I can’t do it that way. If I am going to teach people how to make change happen, I have to be willing to make changes in the way I teach. I want every course to meet people where they are now (not where they were twenty years ago). And I want every course to be better than the last one.

What’s in it for you? If you take the course, you get an experience aligned with the best research on how we learn. You’ll get repetition with difference of the core skills. You’ll also get a more motivating sense of the purpose for learning. Every day is now structured around solving a common problem or moving toward a value or goal.

After an introduction to the core skills, you will progress through managing your emotions, your connections with others, your limited resources, and your stress. Then you’ll consider how to make the most of negotiation and collaboration; influence, and continuing self-directed learning and development.

Every day has a clear why that drives the application of the core skills. Every day features core skills practiced until you have both the confidence and the competence to use them outside the training room.

We don’t waste time with jargon or nostalgia for the way it was when we learned NLP. We make the most of every hour you are online with us so that you can make the most of what you learn.

Why it’s hard to practice (and why you should do it anyway)

There are wins. There is the moment when you do something for the hundredth time and get a better result. There is the moment when getting the same result over and over gives you the confidence that you’ll sink the big shot when the game is on the line. There are small, satisfying steps toward mastery. But you have to practice to get to those wins. You have to be prepared to overcome inertia and do it before it feels good.

A better way to learn

We’re changing for three reasons. The first is simply that we don’t feel we can teach people to make change happen unless we are making change happen in and for our own community. We need to walk our talk. The second is that we need to help people understand what we do in our courses. It’s not enough to speak marketing or to speak NLP, we need to use language that is both familiar and meaningful to everyone who comes looking for something at NLP Canada Training. And the third is that the science of learning has changed over the past twenty years. It’s not enough to train as we were trained. We need to train the way the brain learns.
