NLP Life Coaching Practitioner Aims & Objectives
Learn to:
Generate goals for clients that are well formed and set up in a way that will motivate them to achieving them.
- Access positive and resourceful states both for you as a coach and for your clients.
- Gain the ability to utilise the process of how behaviour is created, maintained and changed to support rapid change.
- Eliminate clients unwanted behaviours, compulsions and habits quickly and with ease
- Master your own emotions and run your own brain to maximise performance as a coach.
- Develop flexibility in your behaviour and outlook to gain a creative edge as a coach particularly when working with more difficult clients.
- Eliminate fears and phobias and emotional obstacles so your client can move on.
- Be able to use language with greater precision and elegance to influence others.
- Use the mind power techniques of top performing coaches to accelerate your personal and professional growth.
- Use altered states such as hypnosis to support visualisation and mind programming.
- Elicit, change and install new strategies in clients that can help them move forward.
The training can be run over 12 x one to one modules (90mins) that can be arranged to suit your commitments if you live locally or 3 days fast track intensively if you are travelling from another part of the UK or abroad. Self study is required in addition to the one to one modules to support the learning and a comprehensive manual and reading list will be provided.
You will also receive a NLP Technique Step by Step DVD and Inner Space Series™ hypnotic audio programmes to integrate your own well formed outcome and support setting up your own anchors.
I have run and assisted on a variety of NLP training courses over the years and on a week long course you will get the opportunity to practice each technique once or twice. Is this enough to be really good at it?
The answer is NO, the key is to be putting the skills into action in real life immediately and using them on yourself first so you know how they work. Everything you learn in NLP, you can practise on yourself or in everyday communication, therefore there are always plenty of opportunities to use and hone your new found NLP skills.
However, to gain more practise with like minded people and refresh your skills, you gain complimentary access to my NLP Boot Camps that are run regularly when you enrol on this programme.

NLP Life Coaching Practitioner Group Training
Group Training (min 5 people) is also available for this course over eight days. This is ideal for therapy colleges and complimentary therapy centres or clinics.
You organise the venue and facilities, I come to you and deliver the training. Call for more information and a quotation.
Group training is excellent for not only facilitating the learning of NLP but also for team consolidation and integration, essentially using the learning and practising of NLP to develop the group dynamic. Therefore group training of NLP can facilitate change in more ways than one!
In a group dynamic, delegates can sometimes be reserved because they don't want to discuss or work with certain issues in front of colleagues or fellow delegates for fear of being judged.Therefore in order to benefit most from the training particularly with more personal issues that a more confidential one to one approach is more successful with delegates. This also enables individual coaching that is specifically tailored to what the delegate needs to develop further both in terms of content and learning style. John Plester training is unique in that he can create a programme that integrates the best of both - one to one NLP coaching in conjunction to tailored group training such as the NLP Boot Camps with the objective of providing comprehensive NLP training to the level required for the individual delegate.
