Your First Step in Neuro-Linguistic Programming
The other day, I found myself in a room with other’s looking to explore the idea of Neuro-Linguistic Programming. I was at Magenta Coaching’s First Step in NLP one day in person course, as a delegate. To get the true experience instead of a voyeuristic idea of it as their Marketing Consultant.
Bevis and Paul immediately put everyone at ease, and you felt assured you were in a space where you could share and be comfortable to ask questions and be involved. As a small group of 11 people, seated so you could see everyone, you were able to completely engage as a group.
Organic Training Process
The process of the day had an organic feel due to the nature of Bevis and Paul’s training. Yes, there were presentation slides and notes were made. However, the content provided was delivered in a way which felt personal to the group. At the beginning of the session, we all shared what we wanted from the day, Bevis and Paul were able to navigate us through all the points during the course. Therefore, we all had, not only our objectives met, but everyone else’s as well, when the day came to a close.
As an avid tea drinker, refreshments were provided regularly, with biscuits. We also shared lunch together as a group, allowing us plenty of opportunities to get to know each other better.
Engaging Day
The day was not all sitting in a room with a slide presentation. Bevis and Paul got us outside in the fresh air for some exercises. These were very powerful, as they took us through them you could really feel a genuine shift in how you felt and thought. Definitely, leaving you with something to take away and use.
My personal objective was to gain a deeper understanding of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and its benefits. I was astonished at just how much was covered in a day. So much was learnt, not only in theory but which I can also use in practice. Such as the initial skills of building rapport. Now I need to be brave and begin to visualise and then write down my goal, as I know if I do, I will begin to move towards it.
This one-day course would benefit anyone who decides to take a day for themselves. You will leave the day with a feeling of new beginnings, positivity and new connections made.
