LIVE IT OR LEAD IT

USING NLP TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

 

Live It OR Lead It is a 2 day introductory seminar open to anyone interested in becoming more effective both personally and professionally and discovering more about NLP and its real life applications.

 

At OR, we believe in the power of choice.

You can put up with the same old issues, problems and frustrations in your life, work or organisation,

OR

You can choose to do something different…

 

This 2 day programme will introduce you to a practical set of skills, techniques and principles for dealing with the challenges, opportunities and responsibilities of life and work and enable you to become more effective, both personally and professionally.

 

What is NLP?

 

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (or NLP) studies how our often habitual patterns of thinking, communication and behaviour shape our unique experience of life and our interactions with other people.

By becoming more aware of your own habitual patterns and learning where, when and how to make small changes, you can begin to improve your results in whatever area of your life, career or relationships that you choose.

By becoming more aware of these patterns in other people, you can also increase your ability to understand, influence and effectively engage with them.

In this fully experiential 2 Day seminar, you will learn how to

 

• plan the changes you want to make,

• set more effective goals and outcomes,

• get on more easily with those around you,

• deal with difficult people and situations,

• change habitual patterns of thought and behaviour,

• and produce more of the results you want to achieve

 

The Live It OR Lead It Programme will provide you with a powerful and effective NLP coaching framework and toolkit for leading and creating change that you can apply to the areas of your life that matter most to you.

No prior knowledge of NLP is necessary although the motivation to learn, stretch yourself and have a lot of fun in the process is absolutely essential!

 

Practical skills for making a difference.

 

During this seminar you will learn how to:

• Manage your own emotional state in challenging or stressful situations
• Change limiting beliefs to more empowering ones
• Develop the art of asking key questions to turn ‘issues’ into achievable ‘outcomes’
• Learn new skills with competency modelling
• Continually improve your own performance
• Create new options
• Develop awareness of the main building blocks of thought and experience
• Use body language to establish and maintain good relationships
• Read the minimal cues that let you know how others are thinking
• Shift viewpoints between your own, another’s and an observer’s to develop the most effective next move in any interaction 
• Develop your communication and leadership skills

Advanced NLP Practitioner Programme Syllabus

Neuro-Linguistic Programing (or NLP), is a powerful and practical set of skills, techniques and attitudes for becoming more effective in life (either personally or professionally) and learning how to create real change for yourself or others.

Often described as ‘A Users Manual For The Mind’, NLP enables you to become more aware of how your own habitual patterns of thinking (Neuro), communication (Linguistic) and behaviour (Programming) shape your experience of life and by learning where when and how to make small changes you can begin to improve your results in whatever area of your life, career or relationships with others that you choose.

By becoming aware of these patterns in other people, you can also increase your ability to understand, influence and effectively engage with them.

NLP skills and methodologies are now widely used to improve outcomes in areas as diverse as Business, Health, Education, Politics, Community Development and Sport and NLP principles are at the heart of the approach taken to developing the Northern Ireland Programme for Government.

Learning NLP has become an essential element in professional development programmes for Leaders and Managers and it is a key part of the toolkit for many Life, Executive and Leadership Coaches, Consultants and Trainers.

 

You can learn the skills, techniques and attitudes you need to make a real difference for yourself and others by becoming a fully qualified Advanced NLP Practitioner or Coach in your own right, through our Advanced NLP Practitioner Programme.

As the most comprehensive NLP Practitioner Programme available in Northern Ireland, it is designed to equip you with the knowledge and practical expertise you need to be confident in applying your skills in the real world and is recognised by the Association of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (ANLP), the Association for NLP Professionals.

Alternatively, you can choose to complete any of the 3 Professional NLP Diplomas that make up the Advanced NLP Practitioner Programme, as a standalone course. This is a great way of completing the full Advanced Practitioner Programme at your own pace.

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.
