What’s different at NLP Canada Training?

Getting Better Takes Practice: join the practitioners this weekend, with a Zoom group of nine

If you’re reading this, you’ve probably looked at other websites for NLP training companies. And you’re wondering how to compare them. Maybe you have been referred here, and you want to find out if this is for you. Or maybe you were referred somewhere else, but it just didn’t feel right.

We are different from other companies in many ways. Here are the three I think make the most difference for the people who train with us.

We show up. That means you find me in your inbox every week, and there are always free programs to attend and links to other resources. There are as many NLP programs each year as I can schedule. I’ve been showing up for twenty years.

We invite your skepticism and your optimism. Skepticism means taking a careful look (and making sure you know how to float) before diving in. Optimism means you believe that you can feel better and do better. It doesn’t just keep you afloat. It keeps you moving. Together, skepticism and optimism are great drivers for overcoming obstacles and creating new success.

We stick with you while you use the tools you learn. The toolkit offered in the course is great. But it takes practice in different situations to be confident with any tool. So we offer free continuing opportunities to practice and ask questions as part of a learning community. Over time, you’ll build confidence, flexibility and clarity. You’ll manage yourself better so that you can make the changes you want to make.

You might already be NLP trained by someone else. That’s great: we’ll offer you a discount on your registration so that you can become a full member of this community.

Self-Development after 60

What does self-aware mean at 60 and beyond? It means being able to experience your fullest, best self at the same time that you can step back and see that self moving through unchosen transitions. Where will you live? Who will matter most to you from one day to the next? What purpose will call to you? Who will you be as you become untethered from the identities that preoccupied you while you were building a family and career? Think of all the things you wanted to do and all the things you wanted to be “if only you had time.” Think about grandparenting (not necessarily of biological grandchildren) and the role that elders play in supporting the young (probably not with advice). Think about the self that connects all the different people you have been and will be.

The risks of waiting for a better time

If it doesn’t really matter to you, don’t sweat it. Don’t put it off for a better time. Put it aside. But if you think it might matter to you, find a way to do it now. Despite its endless pressures and distractions, now is the better time.

Rolling with the punches

If you want to win the rapport game, you need to know more than how to reflect what you observe in someone else. You need to know how to reflect, gain attention, and then move to a more useful state. That more useful state needs to use the energy present in a new way and in a new direction. People learn to box and roll with the punches. They learn aikido. They can also learn to counter their intuitions and connect in difficult situations without amplifying conflict. It’s easier with a skilled teacher and lots of practice.
