Module 1: NLP Fundamentals: Your Mind at Work

The purpose of neuro linguistic programming is to move from your present state (or mindset) if it’s useful to do so – to a more desired state in which you have more resources. NLP tools can help you accomplish that. Learn the three primary ways to do this.

Learn the definition of sensory acuity, the classic NLP skill that you will be using to make unique observations throughout the course.

Behavior Flexibility will increase your awareness and help you identify areas where you are do not have as much choice as you want.

States of Excellence is another classic NLP concept that drives you to maintain your own best state of mind and body for every situation.

Our rare learning perspective will establish the most productive frame of mind for learning in a way that leads to continual discovery.

Module 2: VAK Representational Systems & Eye Accessing Cues

• Inspire greater trust, ethically
• Effectively communicate with a greater variety of people
• Learn to read others with accuracy

Learn the most influential aspects of non-verbal communication through the visual, auditory and kinesthetic modalities.

Discover the common words and phrases that give away which VAK modality people use. Discover how people are thinking based on their eye movements. When you notice this deeply unconscious pattern, you’ll know more about how people think than others realize is possible.

Apply your VAK awareness to solve problems in the most effective way for you and help others do the same. Your preferred mode of communication is revealed, along with that of others.

Learn how to connect with anyone based on unconscious preferences.

Module 3: Rapport and Other People

• Create rapport with more people
• Become a master of non-verbal communication
• Get better results with people

Non-verbal communication and rapport is the primary basis for building rapport with anyone, in any culture.

You will learn the basic aspects of non-verbal communication and how to use them effectively as well as the six elements of non-verbal communication that establish rapport, so you can build a connection quickly with most people.

Classic NLP matching and mirroring exercises allow you to hone your skills. These neuro linguistic programming skills lead to influencing with integrity and noticing when you have established rapport and trust with another person.

Module 4: NLP States

• Gain greater self-control of emotional states
• Overcome negative emotions
• Release negativity in the past
• Turn yourself into an optimist
• Learn new behaviors and skills quickly

Learn the most effective methods for entering any psychological state at will using a classic NLP technique to strengthen and stabilize resource states and works like no other psychological intervention.

Learn anchoring to resolve stuck states and problems by automatically applying resources to negative thoughts and emotions.

The New Behavior Generator combines the power of visualization with the refinement of NLP to make new behaviors simple and build skills quickly.

Discover how to turn any negative situation into an automatic learning experience and draw from the best positive experiences from the past using NLP Association/Dissociation. This exercise is among the most popular in our course, as it reveals the thought structure of optimism and pessimism.

Module 5: Strategies

• Make better decisions with confidence
• Get past lack of motivation
• Motivate yourself easily to do necessary but unpleasant tasks
• Understand how to create mental strategies for success

You’ll learn the modeling patterns that put NLP on the map. Using VAK skills learned in earlier modules, a new world of thought processes will unfold before you. You’ll find out how any result is created internally before it is created in the world. Then, you’ll discover how to simply rearrange a strategy to produce far better results.

This classic NLP strategy is simple to learn and improves spelling quickly and dramatically for those who need it.

What makes a good decision? How are bad decisions accomplished? A new world of inner processes is explored that determines how decisions are made, specifically. This allows you to analyze decisions like never before and implement solid decision-making processes into your life.

With the same underlying NLP strategies principles, learn the four negative motivational styles and the solution to each one. Discover how to help anyone, including yourself, resolve problems with self-motivation!

Module 6: The Meta Model

• Cut through the clutter to understand complex situations in minutes
• Effectively deal with your own internal dialogue
• Gain critical insight when no answers seem obvious
• Always know the right question to ask

The NLP Meta Model was the subject of the first NLP book. It has remained among the most important foundational tools for any expert communicator.

The neuro linguistic programming Meta Model is the tool to help yourself and others become aware of the underlying meaning of any vague communication.

The Meta Model is a linguistic model. Many people who have learned NLP have shied away from the linguistics aspect because it can be difficult to learn.

At the iNLP Center, we have broken the Meta Model down into small chunks that are easy to digest and fun to learn. Within minutes, you’ll learn how to quickly get to the heart of the matter in any interaction, including those within your own mind.

Module 7: Exploring Submodalities

• Gain mental flexibility
• Control your thoughts
• Quickly change perceived limitations
• Move beyond bad habits
• Develop inner resources
• Overcome fears, phobias and stuck states quickly
• Grow in self-confidence

Learn how VAK submodalites are the building blocks of subjective experience. These unconscious distinctions are a big eye-opener for many of our NLP students. Once understood, you can rearrange your inner world in the same way you’d rearrange building blocks. Create the state of mind you want, at any time, regardless of what you happen to be thinking or feeling.

You’ll soon discover that what you are thinking and feeling is not nearly as important as how you are thinking and feeling. Most people can answer the question, “What are you thinking?” Fewer people can answer, “How are you thinking it?” This is the difference that makes all the difference!

The NLP Map Across is a classic submodality invention that allows you to transform any negative state into a resourceful state by shifting the VAK submodalities.

This pattern eliminates unwanted habits and behaviors by reversing key thought patterns and simultaneously installing new inspiration into your mind. Not only will your rigid patterns of behavior be interrupted, you’ll also find the motivation to change them with this technique.

Another famous NLP technique, the Fast Phobia Cure is a specific submodality process that neutralizes most simple phobias in about 60 seconds.

Module 8: The Milton Model

• Gain greater influence and persuasive power
• Encourage change without prying into content
• Help others access internal resources
• Gracefully guide people through problems and decision

The Milton Model is the inverse of the Meta Model. It is patterned after the hypnotic techniques of Milton Erickson, MD, known as the most influential practitioner of medical hypnosis in modern history.

The Milton Model teaches you the language of influence – how to motivate, inspire and create change just by using words in a chosen pattern.

Again, we’ve taken the time to break down these linguistic concepts into easily manageable learning chunks so that the skills can be years without confusion or overwhelm.

The NLP Process Instruction Exercise can be used to inspire automatic change without knowing the content. In other words, you can guide someone to choose a problem and then solve it without knowing what problem they are working on.

Understanding the Milton Model is the key to this kind of work. The neuro linguistic programming Process Instructions Exercise shows you specifically how to do it.

The As-If Frame is a popular Milton Model method that helps people solve problems from a future perspective. You’ll learn to guide someone into the future where they can learn how they overcame any difficulty, then bring them back to the present with new insight that leads to change.

Module 9: Creating Outcomes

• Clarity on any goal or desired outcome
• Greater confidence in pursuing goals
• Identify and overcome personal obstacles
• Learn to get specifically what you want from your life!

NLP Outcome Specification is a comprehensive model that asks all the right questions to set anyone up for success in achieving goals or therapeutic outcomes. You’ll learn the common pitfalls among people who do not do well when accomplishing goals, and how to get the right information to begin any journey toward greater success.

Whether or not you believe in new age principles, A Formula for Manifesting is a unique process that will guide you through reality-based steps that utilize Outcome Specification and VAK principles to manifest your goals.

Module 10: Perceptual Positions

• Solve misunderstandings quickly
• Develop greater maturity and compassion
• Learn to see yourself as others see you
• Become wise in relationship decisions
• Let go of past relationship hurts
• Detect critical patterns in relationships

In any relationship there exist three points of view, according to classic NLP. Learn these points of view, then use them to resolve issues by changing positions.

With this neuro linguistic programming model, your relationships will become more interesting and problems will seek solutions on their own. All you need to do is know what position you are in and then get information from the other positions. This model is that powerful.

Module 11: Reframing

• Learn to consciously create meaning
• Redefine any situation to make it useful and productive
• Develop world-class mental flexibility and insight
• Change “impossible” behaviors where your choices are limited
• Never get stuck again!

In NLP we understand that all meaning is malleable. You can change the meaning of almost anything. When you get stuck, it is often because your ability to change meaning is limited.

The NLP reframing models give you the tools to change meaning by choice, not by chance.

This classic NLP intervention model, the Six-Step Reframe, has been used by practitioners for decades to create choice where there once was none. You’ll use this method to change unwanted habits, feelings and all manner of rigid thoughts and behaviors – even physical symptoms yield to the six-step reframe.

Module 12: Timeline

• Change your perception of the past and future to suit your needs and desires
• Feel greater excitement, curiosity, and self-confidence
• Let go of the past
• Program your future for greater success
• Learn to realistically manifest what you want in life

NLP Timeline reveals your subjective experience of time. You’ll discover how you organize your past and future memories in your mind. Once you understand this, you’ll be ready to take control of both the past and future. Learn to modify your sense of the past and future in a way that serves you better and help others do the same.

Using NLP Timeline to Change your Future: Use NLP Timeline to create the future that you want and release the old limitations you had on your future that you didn’t even know were there!
