NLP as taught at NLP Canada Training is neither a science nor a pseudoscience. It’s a set of practical tools that are updated to align with current science and provide a bridge from science to the choices you make everyday. You can think of it as an art or a craft, a way of understanding life that draws on science and experience and practice.

Why videos and quizzes can’t teach you decision making and communication. Live training allows you to do more than consume information. You develop skills you can apply in your daily life, skills you’ll still be using in 3 months or 3 years.

This fall will feature two new ebooks, a new coaching website, and the latest version of our Master Practitioner training. We don’t just tell you how to change: we make change happen.

It’s the choice that is grounded in your awareness, settling your body and your mind. It’s the choice you know you can live with.

The way the human being is structured, our enormously complicated brains run most of our behaviours outside of our conscious awareness. We literally don’t know what we’re going to do next, most of the time. How research and stories help us explore the vast territory that makes us who we are.

The techniques and tools of NLP are processes for making change. But the real effect of these processes is only possible when you use them for a clearly shaped purpose so that you can observe tangible results. And you can only predict results when you deliberately adopt different perspectives to mentally model what is happening and what might happen next
