Why would I want to do an ?

People do for so many different reasons, everything from to boost their confidence and self esteem to specific work related reasons such as improving management skills, team motivation and communication, from enhancing relationships to understanding health issues.

The beauty of an is that it provides you with a range of tools to help you in any area of life you choose and will be with you forever! No short term fixes, just powerful, long lasting, effective tools and techniques that can be applied in business, health, relationships, personal development or any other way you decide. Think of it as the 'manual for life' you were never given when you were born.

 

"It is now nearly 9 months since I became an nlp practitioner with Stephen and Certain Change. The benefits I have gained as I have honed my skills have been amazing.

As a manager in the workplace I have developed team dynamics, diffused some tense and challenging situations, negotiated my way into some great deals and encouraged excellence from those around me – all with the tools and techniques I practised during training. NLP has influenced my planning, reporting and goal setting. I am a mentor to others in my workplace and have a more effective approach to coaching my team.

However – as a mum of two young boys, the most exciting and satisfying benefits I feel personally are from using what I have learnt and practised with my kids. The range of positive impacts is truly boundless and I would recommend the journey that is “prac” to any parent or carer purely on the basis of that alone! One analogy from Stephen sits with me – that, as parents, we act as the bow to our children as arrows. NLP helps to make us into REALLY great bows. Thanks Stephen and Melissa!"                                                                                                            Helen Phillips


What will doing an do for me?

This is the big question and the answer is that the results are different for everyone who participates in the training. Everyone who attends our brings a different personal history and different ideas of what they want out of life. It's not for us, or NLP, to tell you who to be, how to behave or what to think. That's entirely your choice. What NLP does is give you some tools to make those things easier and more fun. NLP simply gives you options about how you respond to things, how you behave, how to communicate with yourself and others and how to achieve what you want to achieve in life.

The more open and honest you are with yourself the more you will discover and learn about yourself and the numerous ways in which nlp can help you.

"I wanted to write a testimony to reflect the ongoing support that Stephen Bates and certain change has provided since I completed my NLP Practitioner in July 2007.

I regularly speak with Stephen on the monthly teleclass, but it was over the past 2 weeks that confirmed to me how exceptional the support they offer truly is.

After leaving a position in sales some months ago, I was finally offered a number of interviews with a major aid hearing aid provider. I managed to progress through to final interview stage which would involve conducting a presentation to the board of directors. I was pleased to be asked back for the final interview but without any industry experience I felt very apprehensive and nervous about where to start so I decided to call Stephen for some much needed advice!

Stephen invited me to his offices and during the afternoon we developed various thoughts and ideas about how to present, and how I could use my NLP training to assist me in the interview and the role. When interview day finally arrived I presented confidently and in a professional manner. My interviewers were amazed at how powerful NLP actually is and it can but used in a positive manner in the workplace. I’m pleased to say that after competing against 250 other applicants, I got offered the role which I’m very pleased to have accepted.

I wanted to thank Certain Change and Stephen as I truly believe his help gave me the edge to seal the position. I also believe that their ongoing support is truly worth its weight in gold.  Many thanks once again."                                                                                                                                                            James Newitt


How does the work?

The is 8 days in total with a maximum of just 9 people, but that's not the whole thing. Before you come to the training room there is some pre-study material for you to work through. It's 15 hours of audio material provided on mp3 player so you can listen in the comfort of your own home, whilst doing the ironing, travelling to work, walking the dog ... wherever you choose. There is a manual that goes with it so you can check the wording of techniques and for reference when completing the pre-study test. The test is open book and all the answers are in the audio or manual. We use it to help you consolidate what you've been listening to and reading so we know where you're up to by the time you come to the training room. We're always on hand to guide you if you have any questions.

Once you've done all the pre-study you are ready to hit the ground running so to speak when you come to the training for the first 4 day module. That is when you get to put what you've been learning into practise with explanations, demonstrations and group exercises where you take on the role of nlp practitioner, client and observer so you get to experience and learn from all three positions.

At the end of that module you go away for a month to have a play and to put what you've learned into practise in the real world, then come back with more questions in the second 4 day module. And that's it ... at least in terms of the training. We are available to you after the course for as long as we're in business via phone or email to help with any support, guidance or advice you need.

                               "On the morning after I completed my course, I coached a man whose twin brother was destroying his life with alcohol,

                                     helping him to see why his brother might be behaving this way, some techniques he could use to help him and some

                                                 support to let him know he could do this. He’d only come to clean my oven and we’d just got chatting."
