Okay, first post on my new blog.
The aim of this particular post is to generate healthy discussion with my students so that we can learn and develop through peer and trainer support.
We are moving onto days 4 & 5 on my 12 day NLP Practitioner course in Newcastle Upon Tyne and we've done a lot of productive calibration and rapport activities including perceptual positions.
Some of the people who are on my practitioner course attended my recent Introduction to NLP & Hypnosis course so theoretically they should have a fairly good grasp of the NLP fundamental skills that link into all other patterns.
But who knows?
People learn differently at different speeds with different styles.
The most important aspect, I believe, of any NLP practitioner course, and something I have first hand experience of is the dire need for the retention of core skills and key NLP patterns.
What I have found is that if your group have excellent calibration, verbal package language skills and rapport along with personal congruence then they will go a long way.
On the contrary, if their course is skimmed over, particularly over a seven day period, and these crucial points and patterns are not revisited then the "penny" simply does not drop and they may leave the course with a significant "wow" factor and faraway eyes, but not as practitioners.
They may be suffering from what I like to call the "Post-Traumatic-Fast-Track-Syndrome," NLP amnesia.
I'm looking for some stimulating contributions to this...particularly from my students... so here's the very first question in relation to NLP:
"WHAT IS IT YOU ARE STILL ABSOLUTELY UNCLEAR OF?"
I look forward to your responses.
Warm Regards,
Jay Arnott
