03 Jul The Challenge of Mastery: Our NLP Master Practitioner Programme Starts 13th October 2018!
“There is only one corner of the Universe you can be certain of improving and that’s your own self”
Aldous Huxley
Why Take On The Challenge of Becoming A Master Practitioner of NLP?
Mastery in any field is not a journey for the faint-hearted.
It should be about more than just a certificate or a title.
Real Mastery is about challenging yourself to do more, be more and become more.
It’s about questioning your current perceptions and tackling your limiting beliefs;
It’s about honing your knowledge and skills and being able to apply them easily and effectively;
It’s about learning how to adapt what you know to new and challenging situations and stepping up to a whole new level of ability and achievement.
The achievement of becoming a Master Practitioner of NLP is recognised as a mark of skill and quality.
It is a sign of dedication to continued professional development in the field.
Where a good Practitioner Programme should already have equipped you with the fundamentals of NLP, a Master Practitioner Programme is the next step on the journey to deepen your understanding and your application of the skills, techniques and attitudes of NLP so that they come naturally and effortlessly to you.
Becoming a Master Practitioner of NLP means enhancing your skills, deepening your knowledge and developing your own elegance, fluency and effectiveness in using NLP to create the results you want in life, either personally or professionally.
NLP skills and methodologies are now being widely used to improve outcomes in areas as diverse as Business, Health, Education, Politics, Community Development & Sport and NLP principles are at the heart of the approach taken to developing the Northern Ireland Programme for Government.
Learning NLP has also become an essential element in many professional development programmes for Leaders and Managers and it is a key part of the toolkit for many Life, Executive and Leadership Coaches, Trainers and Consultants.
Now, perhaps more than ever, there is an opportunity for skilled, ethical and committed Master Practitioners of NLP to make a real difference in our society.
Are you ready for the challenge?

What People Say About Us:
Michael is one of the most inspirational trainers I have ever had the pleasure of training with, the training is informal but packed full of practical knowledge and very key information to be the best version of a practitioner you can be. The 9 months I spent training with Michael were really worth it, not only benefitting my life but those of my family and others I have coached along the way.
Couldn’t recommend Michael more highly.
Patrick Cordell. Art of Brilliance Trainer, Advanced NLP Practitioner and Winner of the 2017 UK NLP In Education Award.
‘Michael has developed an excellent product. I would highly recommend his NLP training for executive development. Within intimate training sessions you safely explore what you are getting from yourself and from others’.
Andrew McCartan. Decision Making at Department for Communities (NI)
‘With NLP change need not be a daily struggle fuelled by willpower; change is within my own reach and I can choose how I feel, behave and react. Michael shines with enthusiasm, integrity and generosity of spirit. He is a great teacher of NLP and creates a safe space for learning and practice.’
Alana Jones. Workplace Solutions: Executive Coaching; Training; Organisational Development
‘I first got in touch with Michael about a year ago as I’ve always been interested in NLP but didn’t know much about it. I finally recently attended his Live It or Lead It programme and the results for me began immediately.
The biggest tribute I could pay to Michael is to say that he’s a guy who knows so much he could bowl you over; but he doesn’t. Like any good facilitator or coach Michael finds a way to transfer learnings in an engaging and simple fashion.’
Craig Thompson. Director, Vibrant Talent Development
‘Michael is an exceptional communicator, who is passionate about NLP and very knowledgeable on the subject. The combination makes for an outstanding trainer!’
Cathy Mullan. NLP Trainer & Coach
‘Michael is one of those rare individuals who can captivate an audience with outstanding presentation skills and make the complex seem simple. He has an expert knowledge of NLP which together with his passion for the subject and his skill in training makes him an excellent trainer for anyone seeking to learn more about NLP.’
Peter Maunder. Director, Ethical Learning
‘Some people you remember. Michael made a powerful impression on me the moment he started presenting. He not only cares genuinely about his work and those he leads but is an expert NLP Trainer, a professional and genuinely honest person. Michael embodies the best of NLP, high values, skill, is a model of success, a fantastic Coach and a really nice guy’.
Joanna O’Brien. Career Consultant at Inside Out NLP Coaching
Life changing. Since completing the Advanced NLP Practitioner Programme, people have commented: “Even though you were a great coach beforehand, it’s on a whole new level. It’s natural and you have loads of confidence in your approach and you use it for the better good in helping others. It’s just helping you get to a new level of excellence!”
