NLP Training - A Guide For the Confused
A quick search on the Internet for both NLP and NLP Trainers will provide you with a dizzying selection of courses, offers, training professionals and promises of private power. With such a broad range of options how are you going to know who to train and where to have honest information about the actual worth of the classes on offer?
Here are a couple things to help you in your decision.
1) What do you really desire from NLP?
Perhaps not the most obvious of questions to ask, but one that's essential to helping you get exactly what you would like. Some people only wish to know more about NLP and what it could provide. If this is your demand there are a few excellent resources online which can give you a feeling of what NLP is and what it does. Try to avoid the more hysterical sites with promises of personal power, mastery of the mind and persuasive conversations. Look for quality blogs and sites.
If you want a little more information attempt to attend a 1 day seminar or introductory workshop. This will give you a true sense of what NLP is all about. If there are NLP Training in Gurgaon in your region then contact a regional NLP Trainer or Registered Practitioner they will almost always be willing to answer your queries or at least point you in the ideal direction.
If your purpose is to use NLP as a part of your job or business or if you want to become a Coach or Therapist of a description then you need to attend a Practitioner Training program.
2) Not all classes are made equal
You have to understand that there's, in the time of writing, no single accrediting body for NLP. It follows that training bodies can be a law unto themselves with regard to what forms the cornerstone of their training. That being said the 3 levels of instruction recognised by NLP (Practitioner, Master Practitioner and Trainer) do have concur minimum criteria concerning content - that the things which need to be educated and known in each of those degrees.
The big disagreement seems to come from the manner of delivery and duration of all those classes.
For example you will read about'on-line' and'correspondence' courses.
On the plus side they involve a relatively low amount of personal investment but on the downside just how can you learn communication patterns, intervention methods and rapport building skills in case you are not working together with different people under the guidance of a trainer?
You may read about'intensive courses' running from between 1 and 7 days.
On the other hand you'll pay for the core components of the required training. On the downside where would you have the room to reflect upon the routines and thoughts you've heard, let alone have the ability to implement them with any level of confidence. Trainers who offer these'intensive courses' frequently make much of the support materials, the pre-learning along with the'speed at which the unconscious mind can learn'. This writer and trainer would argue that even with the best materials the private transformation, internalisation of strategies and re-evaluation of private values and attitudes is something that needs support, care and time. True that the NLP techniques can be discovered quickly and easily, but the soul and heart of NLP is Something Which develops from sharing and exploring adventures with other people
