There are as many reasons for studying NLP as there are people. NLP is to be found in use in business, education, psychology, therapy, social work, politics and other areas where advanced ways of communicating are required. Many people study NLP to acquire the life skills it incorporates and are not interested in ‘certification’. At the Welsh Institute for NLP, (WIN), we consider the attainment of NLP for life skills to be paramount as this enhances quality of life and personal development over and above ‘certification’. The majority of people who study NLP with WIN are simply not doing so for ‘certification’ but to obtain the perspective on the world that it apports. At WIN it is held that this is totally in keeping with the spirit of modeling and awareness that was the precursor to its development and continued study.

Approaching the course.
The NLP course can now be studied at your own pace and because people learn in different ways, in your own time. The trick is to stay relaxed! Be like a child, be curious, when you see something that interests you, you can pause the drive, have a think, then go over it again. Learning NLP puts you in a special group of people. For instance you’ll learn;
- How the mind works.
- How you can get along with just about anybody.
- What you can learn about others from their unconscious body language.
- The secret power of using the right tone of voice.
- The hidden hypnotic power of the correct phrase.
- How to be aware of your own hang-ups and what to do about them.
And much more.
Enjoy the adventure of learning NLP. Some people simply watch for an hour a day, then read that part of the workbook, then observe and try it. You can practice with yourself,
Special language skills, reading body language, experimenting and making changes on yourself. If you can find someone to practice with so much the better. Some people find it useful to keep a diary of progress.
How to learn in this training
Robert Dilts once interviewed a very successful inventor to discover his strategy for creativity. When Robert asked, "What do you do when you think you have the solution to a problem, you try it, and it doesn't work?" The inventor replied, "Oh, that's just a solution to a different problem."
- Feel free to make mistakes, and glean from them all the learning you can.
- Do something you wouldn't ordinarily do, and discover what happens.
- Practice, practice, practice.
- Focus on your personal communication goals, and stretch.
- Remember that performance and learning are different. Learning happens best in a relaxed, comfortable state of mind. Studying this course affords learning. Applying what you learn affords improved performance.
- Give yourself lots of feedback about how you learn.
- Suspend judgment and criticism (especially of yourself) during the learning process. An open-minded sceptic can learn. Sometimes people experience confusion in a learning state.
- Relax, accept and trust that your confusion will resolve.
- Practice each skill again. By making the effort to practice each skill at least six times, it is more likely you will integrate the material to a level of unconscious competence.
