Brain's Programming

Neuro-Linguistic Programming
The Brain Is Our Most Powerful Resource
Yet we grow up without learning how to use it effectively. It would be helpful to at least have an instruction manual wouldn’t it?
An Instruction Manual For The Brain
The techniques, principles and attitudes of NLP provide a way for you to remove self-imposed limitations. NLP empowers you to have more helpful choices regarding your emotions and behaviours; as a result, you change the results you can achieve in all areas of your life.
What is NLP?
Imagine your brain is a powerful computer and some programs in there contain a glitch. They keep running with that glitch, over and over again.
The glitch could be feeling sick as you step into a lift, a phobia of some sort. Maybe it’s dealing with an over-active inner-critic, crippling nerves before an interview, unhelpful habits, limiting beliefs or even an inability to make decisions.
Of course, these glitches don’t mean there’s anything wrong with you, they’re just not helpful, are they?
NLP teaches you how to rewrite that program, so it runs without any glitches; it runs quicker; it runs smoothly and helpfully.
Neuro Linguistic Programming.
- Neuro: the unique way in which you translate the information you receive through your senses from what's happening around you. This translation impacts how you think & feel, your physiology and how you behave.
- Linguistic: how you express your experience to yourself & to others, through the language you use. That language then affects your experience, behaviour & feelings.
- Programming: how habitual & often unconscious patterns of thoughts & feelings have developed throughout your life.
Why Learn NLP?
If you've ever struggled to change habits, understand the behaviours of those around you or even questionned your own capabilities, then learning NLP gives you the insight & tools to change that habit, understand behaviour and supercharge your development.
- The opportunity to work through your own mental blocks, limiting beliefs and unhelpful habits.
You may have tried to stop that habitual response without success. No matter how hard you try.
NLP will help you make those changes simply, effectively and elegantly.
As you progress through the training you will learn and apply techniques that will help you reprogramme your brain to support more helpful habits and ways of thinking.
- Shift your mindset
NLP allows you to understand what makes you and other people tick, why we do the things we do. This leads to a lasting shift in mindset to one that is more supportive, curious and helpful.
- An incredible toolkit of methods that you can apply in your daily life.
A toolkit that makes it much easier to achieve your goals. One that allows you to achieve more with less stress, less effort and much more enjoyment. A toolkit that will enhance your personal, business and working relationships.
- NLP teaches you HOW to think rather than WHAT to think.
NLP is a powerful combination of art & science that focuses on how we think & process thoughts. This leads to how our behaviour & language are used to express those thoughts as we interact with others.
NLP is the accumulation of over 50 years of study and continues to grow. It's used in sports, by coaches, medical professionals & business leaders, to name a few. Once you learn it, you start to notice how it supports individuals and professionals alike.
HABITS
Unhelpful habits can be so frustrating. We know it isn't helpful, we don't want to do it, yet somehow they continue. It may be that habitual biscuit with a cuppa, buying chocolate whenever you fill the car with petrol, spending money on things you don't really need or want, or simply habitually reacting in a way that causes you stress.
You may have tried to stop that habitual response without success. No matter how hard you try.
NLP will help you make those changes simply, effectively and elegantly.
COMMUNICATION
For the purposes of the NLP Model of Communication, the word communication represents the way we communicate and interact with situations, people and ourselves.
We all think we're pretty good at communication, yet we all have those times when we're frustrated at not getting our message across or feeling misunderstood. NLP elevates your communication skills to premiership level, enabling you to craft your message to capture your audience's attention. Connect with your clients and colleagues in a way that helps you both, not to mention how much it will transform your personal relationships.
PERCEPTION
How is it that judges can watch the same performance at the same time & come up with such wildly different scores?
How can 12 individuals on a jury sit through the same trial, with access to the same information and have very different views on whether or not someone is guilty?
How many meetings have you sat through where everyone has the same experience & information, yet each person leaves with a completely different understanding of what they need to do next?
When you learn NLP, you begin to understand how every individual's perceptions combine to create their own unique combination of thought, communication & behaviour. NLP helps you respect that perception whilst still achieving your desired outcome.
MODELLING
Have you ever tried to learn a new skill yet never quite seem to reach the level of performance that you want? Maybe you manage a team with a high performer and other colleagues who struggle to achieve a standard level of performance.
Perhaps you've observed someone highly skilled, but you never seem able to replicate their skill. NLP has its foundation in modeling performance excellence & you will learn how to identify & replicate the processes & strategies of that excellence. A tremendous advantage in developing your own skill set as well as that of your team.

Lou was a wonderful facilitator and quickly put everyone at ease with a range of activities that all were willing to engage with. The day was a mixture of some theory, some sharing, some analysis of where we were emotionally and lots of practical suggestions of how to take control of our inner critic. We all came away feeling much more empowered. Thank you Lou.

The main difference between NLP Practitioner and NLP Master Practitioner professionals is in their depth of knowledge and how to apply it with their skills.
NLP Practitioner: An NLP Practitioner will be professionally certified as competent in the skills and techniques of NLP at Practitioner level. These techniques are various, the uses are widespread and they are highly valuable. As a Certified NLP Practitioner, you are able to begin working with others on some general challenges.
Most NLP Practitioners develop a love for their subject and go on to become NLP Master Practitioners in order to complete their jigsaw puzzle.
NLP Master Practitioner: An NLP Master Practitioner will be professionally certified as competent in the skills and techniques of NLP at Practitioner and Master Practitioner level. They will be assessed on their mastery of NLP as a skillset.
An NLP Master Practitioner will be rewarded for the extra study time and practical time spent applying the skills with others by developing a deep understanding of the subject, techniques and how the different techniques interact with each other to produce their results.
NLP Master Practitioners will generally have more options available in terms of solutions for their clients and techniques that they can use. NLP Master Practitioners will be skilled to mix and match NLP techniques for unique and bespoke solutions for their clients.
Our ABNLP pre-course study is already offered to delegates online. It's purpose is to get you prepared for the real deep learning and practical assessment that will take place in the classroom. So why can't you do all of your learning online?
Online learning packages are great for building up your knowledge base. Yet, knowledge alone won't make a tangible difference to behaviour, results and outcomes.
It's the ability to apply and embed that knowledge that leads to true learning and transformation. The opportunity to effectively demonstrate techniques is key to you becoming a great NLP Practitioner.
At NLP with Lou I'm committed to providing the highest level of learning experience for my clients. With a background in professional learning & development, I know that everyone learns in a different way. That's why I believe that offering the best of online and face-to-face learning ensures you achieve your learning outcomes. Given that I have such an extensive background in training delivery both in person and online delivery, I'm able to offer you blended solutions that include traditional classroom learning combined with pre-course, self-directed online learning AND online classroom learning combined with pre-course self-directed online learning.
NLP is known for providing deep-seated, transformational personal development. To ensure that Online classroom training doesn't lose many of the subtle and very often, unconscious observations that a classroom context provides, I limit the number of delegates attending online training to 6.
To deliver great training whether in the traditional or online classroom setting, I need to be able to intuitively see when someone is or isn't following the content and provide any extra support when it's needed. NLP techniques are demonstrated and taught in a way that I can fully observe breathing and the state of facial and body muscle relaxation.
These training packages offer you the very best of both worlds.
I offer a variety of training options and dates for both Practitioner and Master Practitioner Certifications. Rather than risk bamboozling anyone with an overload of options on a web page, it's better to have a chat and ensure that you are choosing the best option for you and your lifestyle. It also gives you the opportunity to ask any questions and fully appreciate what you are investing in.
