Course Curriculum

How does the ​course work?


Gears .Engineering industry .

NLP at Work is a 12 week online course taking place over 13 weeks with a week off for intervening school holidays. We meet every Tuesday from 10am to 11.30am for the morning courses and 6pm to 7.30pm for the evening courses. The sessions will be recorded every week and sent to you so you have them for ongoing reference and if you have to miss a live session you can catch up.


Before the course starts you will receive a brief questionnaire which will help us to tailor the course content to your specific needs.


We start the course with an introduction where we share 5 major principles of NLP that we’ll be referring to throughout the course.


This is followed by five modules covering the topics which we know present ongoing challenges to business owners and professionals. We’ll spend two weeks on each topic: time management, communication, self-belief, stress management and decision making. Sessions are practical and you will have the opportunity both to experience and learn to coach all of the techniques we cover.


As part of the course you will be offered a 121 coaching session with either Jenni or Sue.


In the final week we show you how to fit all the pieces together and use them effectively going forward.


Session 1:

Introduction

In this session we introduce ourselves and give you an overview of our professional experience. We explain what NLP is and why we are such strong advocates for it in empowering people to unlock their potential, bring about positive change, achieve more success and lead more fulfilling lives.


We outline the structure of the course and give you recommendations on how to get the most benefit from it.


We then go on to share 5 major principles of NLP that we will be referring to throughout the course, including The Four Pillars of NLP which underpin success in achieving positive change and creating excellence.


Awareness of these five principles will really help you in understanding how and why NLP techniques work and in identifying specific challenges you have which you can address during this course.


Module 1:

Time Management

SESSION 2:

Time Management 1

In this session we will consider the specific challenges people in the group have with time and the feelings you have about time. We will then explore our different perceptions of time and you will identify your personal timeline and what this means for you in terms of time management. Lastly we will work together through a simple technique that you won’t find in business books and is a powerful tool in managing your time more effectively.

Session 3:

Time Management 2

In this session we build on our work from the previous week. We address the challenge of procrastination, taking you through a highly effective technique for breaking through it and getting things done. We then introduce a powerful strategy for keeping focused, productive and on task, so you can use your time well.


Module 2:

Communication

SESSION 4:

Communication 1

In this session we examine the process of communication and how people have different communication styles. We work through some activities that help you get in touch with your own individual communication style and recognise the styles of others. We then introduce and demonstrate a technique that helps you communicate calmly and effectively with others in situations that might be challenging.

Session 5:

C​ommunication 2

In this session we revisit the technique demonstrated in Communication 1. You will then work in pairs to both coach and experience the technique in relation to an appropriate scenario in your own life. In the latter part of the session we bring together all the learning from these two weeks and consider how it will help you communicate better in your work and home life.

Module 3:

Self-Belief

SESsion 6:

Self-Belief 1

In this session we will explore the power of self-talk and how what we say to ourselves in our heads has a massive impact on our lives professionally and personally. We go on to identify limiting beliefs, how these differ from facts and influence behaviour. We will then introduce and demonstrate an extremely powerful process for shifting unwanted beliefs. This is a 5 step technique and in this session you will work through step one.

Session 7:

Self- Belief 2

In this session we revisit the 5 step technique demonstrated in Self-Belief 1. You will work in pairs to both coach and experience the next four steps of the technique in relation to a specific limiting belief you want to shift. By the end of this session you will have created a change and will be on the road to embedding a new more empowering belief to replace whatever was limiting you.

Module 4:

Stress Management

SESsion 8:

Stress Management 1

In this session we consider stress, where it comes from and how to manage it. We help you recognise your particular stressors and show you a simple mind management technique that can be used daily to both identify your state of mind and shift it in a positive direction. We go on to introduce and demonstrate one of the most powerful techniques in NLP which can be life changing in regulating your emotional reactions and stress levels. You will then work in pairs to both coach and experience the technique.

Session 9:

Stress Management 2

In this session we revisit the technique learnt the previous week, we show you how to strengthen it’s power and discuss how and when to use it in everyday life. We then explore how and why the way we stand or sit can help us manage stress and increase confidence. Lastly we guide you in creating your own stress management recipe.

Module 5:

Decision Making

SESsion 10​:

Decision Making 1

In this session we focus on decisions, good and bad, and how you give yourself the best chance of getting them right. We explore the way our brains work and how metaphors can help us in decision making. We then introduce and demonstrate a very effective decision making technique that uses both these elements. You will select a decision you need to make and work through the technique in pairs to both experience and coach it.

Session 11:

Decision Making 2

In this session we continue to explore the power of metaphors in decision making. We introduce and demonstrate a valuable technique for choosing between two clear options. You will then select a clear choice decision you need to make and work through the technique to both experience and coach it. At the end of the session we will ask you to think about any questions you have and any techniques you would like to revisit. We will then cover these in Session 12.

Wrapping Up

In this final session we review all the knowledge and skills covered in the course and explore how it all fits together. We have a ‘Big Quiz’ so you will realise just how much you have learnt. We then answer your questions and revisit any techniques you have requested to consolidate them for you. We will then give you some key resources and recommendations to help you use your NLP skills moving forward.

by the end of this course you will:

  • Have developed a range of basic coaching skills that will be a useful resource in all your interactions, both at work and at home.
  • Be able to manage your time more effectively using the three techniques either separately, or together, to achieve tasks within a given timeframe.
  • Be able to communicate more effectively, making yourself understood more easily.
  • You will quickly and easily spot another person’s style, and adapt to match them
  • Have increased your self-belief. You will be able to spot when you have a limiting belief that is holding you back from achieving something, and you’ll have the tools to reduce and eventually eliminate that unhelpful belief.
  • Be able to identify your emotional state, and use the technique you have learnt to feel better, and in particular, less stressed, in a matter of seconds or minutes.
  • Make a decision faster, and with more confidence, using a technique that stops you from over-thinking and helps you ensure that your head, heart and gut are aligned, which in turn ensures a better decision.
  • Have a ‘toolbox’ of techniques to use on yourself, and with colleagues, loved ones and even children, to help fulfil their potential and improve their lives.
