NLP training is usually arranged over two levels: Practitioner Level and Master Practitioner Level. The ABNLP Certified NLP Practitioner training level can offer an insightful beginning to your coaching training and personal development journey. You discover techniques that allow you and those you work with to expand their perspective, delivering freedom from limitations in thought and behavioural patterns as you go.
This training begins a long journey into yourself. Indeed, it gives you the opportunity to explore your behaviour and your mindset in a safe and comfortable space.
Consequently, this bespoke and intensive training delivers insights and first-hand experience that you can use as a compass. That is to say, to direct your personal and business life going forward. If you want to start a journey and to build a strong foundation on self-awareness and self-worth; this programme is for you.
Sarah Merron has been teaching NLP for the last 12 years. She continues to upgrade her certified ABNLP Certified NLP Practitioner training programme to include the latest information in neuroscience and psychology. Sarah’s training runs as an 8-day residential training or a combined online and residential training. In 2021 courses will run in Sri Lanka.
This 8-day programme will allow you to understand how to harness the power of both your conscious and unconscious mind. You’ll begin to discover how your personal programming; beginning from birth, has both helped and hindered you.
Where there is a choice, there is empowerment. Find out more here about my Certified NLP Training.
