Dramatically improve results through how you think, communicate and influence

The diploma is being led by one of Europe's top NLP trainers, Michael Beale and consists of one 2-day module. The diploma is designed for business and professional people who have heard about the significant benefits of using NLP in business  and want to experience and realise the benefits both for themselves and their teams and colleagues.

What is NLP?

NLP is the exploration of how we think, communicate and change - so that we can model, replicate and improve performance. NLP's core competencies are about:

1. Attitudes that produce results

2. Modelling

3. Techniques, so we can transfer the results of the above

It's not NLP that's important it's what we do with it.


NLP is different from other personal development approaches in that:

1. It is modelled from individuals who were experts and geniuses at helping others change

2. It takes into account how we connect to the world through our sensory experience and how we store and change that experience through using our minds and bodies

3. It is highly effective at connecting conscious and unconscious resources, leading to individuals connecting to their ‘untapped potential.’ NLP combines logical, sensory, emotional and intuitive thinking to enable your clients to reach theirs goals more easily.

While NLP has some really strong business applications, practicing NLP also leads to personal freedom.

Are there ethical considerations in using NLP?

The more we practice NLP skills the more able we are to influence people. I'm going to suggest that that gives us a responsibility to use our skills to lead both ourselves and those that we interact with in a useful direction, and to be aware of the impact we may have.


The definition of what is a useful direction is of course a very personal decision, and it’s worth investing our time in advance to ensure we are congruent with the stance we take.

It is also worth remembering that we've all learnt at some level to be aware when someone is trying to manipulate us in a way that isn't aligned with our beliefs and values - and normally we resist it strongly.

Anyone who uses these skills in way that isn't ethical is likely to get the full force of that resistance. Conversely, If we use these skills to help people achieve what's important to them we are likely to get their genuine thanks.

What makes a good NLP coach and mentor

While the very best coaching and mentoring depends on the strength of the relationship between the client and the coach or mentor, and therefore depends on the specific context, we have found the following list to be a useful guide as to what makes a good coach and mentor:


• A curiosity about helping people solve their own problems

• In control of their own goals, not simply serving their clients

• Life experience

• Business experience

• Ability to 'shut up' and give the client room to think

• Ability to suspend ego, albeit temporarily

• Developed their own models from other coaches, mentors and clients

• Formal accreditation

• Practice, practice, practice

• Feedback, feedback, feedback

• Feedback against results, rather than what people say at the time

Good training and coaching enable you to significantly 'build on' and 'amplify' what you're already good at and therefore training is an important part of the mix in becoming a good coach or mentor.

What does NLP add to coaching and mentoring?

NLP provides a set of simple and practical tools that will support a coaching or mentoring relationship. By using NLP’s tools to explore your goals, establish plans of action and make necessary changes in your approach, you will have more skills as a coach, greater flexibility and thereby be more effective.


NLP’s approach supports the latest research which suggests that there are at least three distinct thinking systems in human beings; the “reptilian (stem) brain”, the “mammalian (limbic) brain” and the “human (neocortex) brain.” It is the effective awareness and use of all these thinking systems together that lead to mastery as a coach.

NLP is a systemic approach to change which can be applied both to the individual or the organisation. NLP addresses the underlying processes for change rather than the superficial symptoms, and it is based on modelling best practice, judged by the achievement of desired results within their own context as opposed to a generalised view of success or high performance.

NLP helps you, your clients and your organisation to adapt more easily and perform more effectively as a balanced system.
