the best way to learn NLP rapidly and to use it effectively in every major area
of your life Damon here with an NLP Gym what is wrong with NLP
training today if you haven't already please click subscribe to this YouTube
channel so you can get these videos on a regular basis
immediately upon my first training I knew that something wasn't right and
I've written about this and I've talked about it I've done videos on it and this
video is kind of a progression part about picking up with that conversation
left off
so for those of you who haven't read my other blogs and haven't seen my other
videos in general what has happened is in the early days when there was a lot
less NLP technology whenever NLP was really knew there was a lot less
technology but the trainings were about 30 days which is twice as long as even
what is considered a long training by today's standards which is two weeks
maybe two and a half weeks a lot more technology and it's being squeezed into
a much shorter amount of time so what has to go well supervised practice has
to go and that's really the key ingredient to learning NLP without the
practice it doesn't matter how well you know the theories doesn't matter how
well you know the presuppositions doesn't matter how well you've studied
the processes or watch video of demonstrations are seeing great trainers
do great demonstrations you will not get the full understanding of NLP without
practicing it and preferably supervised practice where someone who knows what
they're doing and understands and NLP is watching you do it
I had to learn this by trial and error after doing several NLP trainings trying
to figure out what was I was actually missing from the early days because
honestly the first generation of NLPers that people came out of the
seventies and the eighties hands down the best train people in NLP most people
wouldn't have gone on to create great careers for themselves and their lives
have been dedicated to help
and I've been to a lot of these trainings by the same trainers we're not
doing is they're not taking the time to help people get in the muscle and part
of that is it's not a very good business model to do a long training people won't
sign up for a lot of people just want the certificate they want to go through
an experience a NLP experience and a lot of people don't really care that they
actually not I'm different and I know a lot of people there are plenty of people
who are like me who want to be able to do this who want to use a healthy
effectively and every area of their life
the other thing that was a huge letdown for me as I got better as I progressed
in my abilities trainer started to take notice of this and they went from being
extremely helpful to me and encouraging the to not wanting me to get better and
not wanting me to go and train with other trainers partially because they
act like jealous lovers and gurus and they they think that they're the best
and only want you training with them but they also started to suppress me moving
into teaching because they were afraid that I was going to compete with them
now I know I'm not the only person that has happened to I've had conversations
with other people regarding other trainers and a similar thing has
happened
other people have gotten really good understand these trainers and these
trainers sort of dangle the carrot made them think that they were going to teach
for them only to snatch away and try to discourage the person
this was like finding out that santa cock Santa Claus was a real this was
like finding out you know the wizard behind the curtain is just a feeble man
not the big and powerful wizard of oz and I think he'll be in this country
needs a makeover
I think we need to get back to some of the practices that were done in the
early days to turn out effective students the popularity of epi in this
country has dwindled in the past 10 to 15 years and a good reason for that is
the students aren't as effective the students aren't learning as well so when
you have students go through
entire program and they come out with a certificate that says they participate
participated in a program but yet they can't use NLP effectively what does that
reflect back on the field of NLP when people aren't getting any better when
people aren't surpassing the teachers this is a real problem there this is not
progress this is going backwards this is devolving after doing a video a few days
ago about doing a practitioner training i got enough interest come back that i'm
going to move forward with this we will start in January it will be an open gyms
first practitioner training will be eight weekends three-day weekend so
eight three day weekend's over eight months starting in january i will keep
the costs as low as possible and as far as i know this will be the longest
practitioner training in the United States today and the point of all that
is to turn out extremely effective students who have a strong foundation in
NLP i also want to build a reputation of NLP gym as the place that you go to to
really get the skills in the muscle and I want to be handing out certificates
that actually mean something I want and it'll be Jim certificate that a person
has to mean that they actually have those abilities not that they just
participated in a program where they just showed up for class and in some
cases some trainings you don't even have to show up to class you just show up in
the last day and pick up your certificate that when you receive a
certificate it's because you have this skill not that you saw me demonstrate
the skill that means nothing to me and I want to build a reputation so that when
you show that certificate to someone they know that it means something that a
lot of people in advanced trainings and they have a wall full of certificates
and they're framed and yet sometimes people don't even know the basics they
don't even have a foundation for helping you build a strong foundation with a
strong private practitioner course and with all the practice that goes with it
and that's pretty much eighty percent of NLP the more advanced stuff it's great
you
learn those things but you and you will get so much more out of this trainings
by having a strong practitioner foundation III can't tell you how many
trains are going to advanced level training so i can tell people aren't
getting anything out of it just because I have a certificate from a previous
practitioner class or intermediate class they now get to go to this advanced
class but they're not really getting it they're not really understanding it you
will understand it so much better you will get so much more out of advanced
trainings when you have a strong practitioner foundation we don't even
have a sign up for this yet so that you can sign up for if you're interested you
can message me email me that you can do that through either facebook youtube or
directly through the website and I'll put your name down and as we get closer
and as the details come in and as we put together a signup page i will release
all that information to like I said we're going to start in january this
will be probably the most comprehensive the longest training NLP practitioner
training in the US and if you really want to learn NLP and you really want to
get in the muscle and be able to apply it in every major area of your life
this is the training to go to now you might be saying well you're not on of
one of the world class trainers you haven't written books you haven't done
these things sure I agree with you about standing here saying that I'm the best
trainer there is or the best NLP however I've been to a lot of these trainings
with great NLP trainers you don't get to spend time with them directly
you don't get supervised practice by them you don't get those foundations
this foundational skills into the muscle just because they're a great trainer or
because they've been in NLP for a long time or because they've written books
it's about the practice and that's what you'll get with me in this training so
come join us drop me a line especially if you have any questions I'd love to
answer them about this training that's coming up and like I said the more we
