Module 1: NLP Fundamentals: Your Mind at Work

Neuro-linguistic programming aims to move from your present state (or mindset) if it is useful to do so – to a more desired state in which you have more resources. NLP tools can help you accomplish that. Learn the three primary ways to do this.

Learn the definition of sensory acuity, the classic NLP skill you will use to make unique observations throughout the course.

Behavior Flexibility will increase your awareness and help you identify areas where you do not have as much choice as you want.

States of Excellence is another classic NLP concept that drives you to maintain your best state of mind and body for every situation.

Our rare learning perspective will establish the most productive frame of mind for learning in a way that leads to continual discovery.

Module 2: VAK Representational Systems & Eye Accessing Cues

• Inspire greater trust, ethically
• Effectively communicate with a greater variety of people
• Learn to read others with accuracy

Learn the most influential aspects of non-verbal communication through the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modalities.

Discover the common words and phrases that give away which VAK modality people use. Discover how people are thinking based on their eye movements. When you notice this deeply unconscious pattern, you will know more about how people think than others realize is possible.

Apply your VAK awareness to solve problems in the most effective way for you and help others do the same. Your preferred mode of communication and that of others are revealed.

Learn how to connect with anyone based on unconscious preferences.

Module 3: Rapport and Other People

• Create rapport with more people
• Become a master of non-verbal communication
• Get better results with people

Non-verbal communication and rapport are the primary basis for building rapport with anyone in any culture.

You will learn the basic aspects of non-verbal communication, how to use them effectively, and the six elements of non-verbal communication that establish rapport, so you can build a connection quickly with most people.

Classic NLP matching and mirroring exercises allow you to hone your skills. These neurolinguistic programming skills lead to influencing with integrity and noticing when you have established rapport and trust with another person.

Module 4: NLP States

• Gain greater self-control of emotional states
• Overcome negative emotions
• Release negativity in the past
• Turn yourself into an optimist
• Learn new behaviors and skills quickly

Learn the most effective methods for entering any psychological state at will using a classic NLP technique to strengthen and stabilize resource states and works like no other psychological intervention.

Learn anchoring to resolve stuck states and problems by automatically applying resources to negative thoughts and emotions.

The New Behavior Generator combines the power of visualization with the refinement of NLP to make new behaviors simple and build skills quickly.

Discover how to turn any negative situation into an automatic learning experience and draw from the best positive experiences from the past using NLP Association/Dissociation. This exercise is among the most popular in our course, as it reveals the thought structure of optimism and pessimism.

Module 5: NLP Strategies

• Make better decisions with confidence
• Get past lack of motivation
• Motivate yourself easily to do necessary but unpleasant tasks
• Understand how to create mental strategies for success

You will learn the modeling patterns that put NLP on the map. Using VAK skills learned in earlier modules, a new world of thought processes will unfold before you. You’ll find out how results are created internally before they happen outwardly. Then, you will discover how to rearrange a strategy to produce far better results.

This classic NLP strategy is simple to learn and improves spelling quickly and dramatically for those who need it.

What makes a good decision? How are bad decisions accomplished? A new world of inner processes is explored that determines how decisions are made, specifically. This allows you to analyze decisions like never before and implement solid decision-making processes into your life.

With the same underlying NLP strategy principles, learn the four negative motivational styles and the solution to each one. Discover how to help anyone, including yourself, resolve problems with self-motivation!

Module 6: The Meta Model

• Cut through the clutter to understand complex situations in minutes
• Effectively deal with your own internal dialogue
• Gain critical insight when no answers seem obvious
• Always know the right question to ask

The NLP Meta Model was the subject of the first NLP book. It has remained among the most important foundational tools for any expert communicator.

The neurolinguistic programming meta model is a tool for helping yourself and others become aware of the underlying meaning of any vague communication.

The Meta Model is a linguistic model. Many people who have learned NLP have shied away from the linguistics aspect because it can be difficult to learn.

At the iNLP Center, we have broken the Meta Model into small chunks that are easy to digest and fun to learn. Within minutes, you will learn how to quickly get to the heart of the matter in any interaction, including those within your own mind.

Module 7: Exploring Submodalities

• Gain mental flexibility
• Control your thoughts
• Quickly change perceived limitations
• Move beyond bad habits
• Develop inner resources
• Overcome fears, phobias, and stuck states quickly
• Grow in self-confidence

Learn how VAK submodalites are the building blocks of subjective experience. These unconscious distinctions are a big eye-opener for many of our NLP students. Once understood, you can rearrange your inner world in the same way you would rearrange building blocks. Create the state of mind you want, at any time, regardless of what you happen to be thinking or feeling.

You will soon discover that what you are thinking and feeling is not nearly as important as how you are thinking and feeling. Most people can tell you what they are thinking. Fewer people can tell you how they are thinking it. This is the difference that makes all the difference!

The NLP Map Across is a classic submodality invention that allows you to transform any negative state into a resourceful state by shifting the VAK submodalities.

This pattern eliminates unwanted habits and behaviors by reversing key thought patterns and simultaneously installing new inspiration into your mind. Not only will your rigid patterns of behavior be interrupted, you will also find the motivation to change them with this technique.

Another famous NLP technique, the Fast Phobia Cure is a specific submodality process that neutralizes most simple phobias in about 60 seconds.

Module 8: The Milton Model

• Gain greater influence and persuasive power
• Encourage change without prying into content
• Help others access internal resources
• Gracefully guide people through problems and decision

The Milton Model is the inverse of the Meta Model. It is patterned after the hypnotic techniques of Milton Erickson, MD, known as the most influential practitioner of medical hypnosis in modern history.

The Milton Model teaches you the language of influence: how to motivate, inspire, and create change just by using words in a chosen pattern.

Again, we have taken the time to break down these linguistic concepts into easily manageable learning chunks so that the skills can be years without confusion or overwhelm.

The NLP Process Instruction Exercise can be used to inspire automatic change without knowing the content. In other words, you can guide someone to choose a problem and then solve it without knowing what problem they are working on.

Understanding the Milton Model is the key to this kind of work. The neurolinguistic programming Process Instructions Exercise shows you specifically how to do it.

The As-If Frame is a popular Milton Model method that helps people solve problems from a future perspective. You will learn to guide someone into the future where they can learn how they overcame any difficulty, then bring them back to the present with new insight that leads to change.

Module 9: Creating Outcomes with NLP

• Clarity on any goal or desired outcome
• Greater confidence in pursuing goals
• Identify and overcome personal obstacles
• Learn to get specifically what you want from your life!

NLP Outcome Specification is a comprehensive model that asks all the right questions to set anyone up for success in achieving goals or therapeutic outcomes. You will learn the common pitfalls among people who do not do well when accomplishing goals, and how to get the right information to begin any journey toward greater success.

Whether or not you believe in new age principles, A Formula for Manifesting is a unique process that will guide you through reality-based steps that utilize Outcome Specification and VAK principles to manifest your goals.

Module 10: Perceptual Positions

• Solve misunderstandings quickly
• Develop greater maturity and compassion
• Learn to see yourself as others see you
• Become wise in relationship decisions
• Let go of past relationship hurts
• Detect critical patterns in relationships

According to classic NLP, there are three points of view in any relationship. Learn these points of view, then use them to resolve issues by changing positions. With this neurolinguistic programming model, your relationships will become more interesting, and problems will seek their own solutions.

Module 11: Reframing with NLP

• Learn to create meaning consciously
• Redefine any situation to make it useful and productive
• Develop world-class mental flexibility and insight
• Change impossible behaviors where your choices are limited
• Never get stuck again!

In NLP, we understand that all meaning is malleable. You can change the meaning of almost anything. When you get stuck, it is often because your ability to change meaning is limited.

The NLP reframing models allow you to change meaning by choice, not by chance, to change unwanted habits, feelings, and all manner of rigid thoughts and behaviors – even physical symptoms yield to the six-step reframe.

Module 12: The Timeline Technique

• Change your perception of the past and future to suit your needs and desires
• Feel greater excitement, curiosity, and self-confidence
• Let go of the past
• Program your future for greater success
• Learn to manifest what you want in life realistically

NLP Timeline reveals your subjective experience of time. You will discover how you organize your past and future memories in your mind. Once you understand this, you will be ready to take control of both the past and future. Learn to modify your sense of the past and future in a way that serves you better and helps others do the same.

Using NLP Timeline to Change Your Future: Use NLP Timeline to create the future you want and release the old limitations you had on it that you did not even know were there!

Module 1: Psychological Levels of Development

• Know where you are and what you need to do as an adult interested in growth
• Understand what to help people with and when
• Be able to address your own and clients’ deepest psychological needs
• Understand why so many interventions fail

It is easy to understand that a small child of five does not possess the same knowledge, skills, and awareness that a mature adult of 50 has. Between five and 50 are years of learning and experience for which there is no substitute. To achieve a similar degree of development as a mature adult, there seems to be no choice but for the child to go through a similar number of years, adding to his experience and awareness along the way.

Any methodology intended to help people would benefit from this developmental understanding of the maturation process. Many authors and researchers have written on this subject in psychology. iNLP has synthesized the work of the foremost developmental theorists into a model that we teach in our public training and use in our private work with people.

Understanding where someone is in the larger course of their life illuminates how to work with them. This includes knowing which goals to set, which techniques to use, and what results to expect.

Module 2: The Physiology Map

• Know specifically what you need to do to get unstuck
• Develop strategies to achieve positive emotional states
• Understand where conventional wisdom fails to create lasting emotional flexibility

The Physiology Map is a model developed by NLP Santa Fe and the iNLP Center. The Physiology Map tracks emotions, or physiological states, which we consider to be one and the same. Each physiological state we experience has certain qualities or characteristics.

With this model, we attempt to classify those characteristics. The Physiological map implements the concepts of Associative/Dissociative and External/Internal to map one’s emotional state into quadrants. When we understand the Physiological Map and its implications for human behavior, it becomes clear how to use this NLP model to help people and ourselves move in useful directions.

Module 3: The Twelve States of Attention

• Radically increased visual, auditory, and kinesthetic flexibility
• Ability to access VAK places where it is impossible to get stuck

As you will learn, NLP emphasizes three sensory systems: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic (seeing, hearing, and feeling). Each system is known as a modality. Using traditional NLP, we go beyond analyzing what we are thinking or experiencing by learning how our thoughts and experiences are structured in our brains. Understanding this structure and how to influence it gives us monumental advantages.

Beyond seeing, hearing, and feeling, the broad-narrow and internal-external sensory distinctions add a new level of sophistication to the VAK model. These two additional sensory distinctions are probably more important to our psychological functioning than seeing, hearing, and feeling alone.

Module 4: The Quad Map

• More control of your mind and attention
• Ability to get unstuck quickly
• Get to a positive mental outcome efficiently, regardless of the starting point

Our minds are constantly in motion, remembering past experiences and imagining future experiences. It is interesting how little time we spend in the present moment, with our attention directed fully toward the external world. So often, we are inside our minds, attending to the inner life. How we direct our attention influences so much of our experience, both positive and negative.

The questions we ask and the comments we make invite others to direct their minds in ways that will be helpful, productive and positive, or not. Understanding the Quad Map gives us a significant advantage when communicating with others.

Module 5: Criteria for Psychological Safety

• Feel safer every day
• Enhanced confidence and motivation
• Clearer decision-making and prioritizing

Emotional safety is primal. If we do not find a way to feel safe each and every day, we cannot accomplish much beyond reacting to the vague yet constant threat. Most of our life is geared towards reducing anxiety and getting to a place where we feel safe.

Worse, we often put ourselves in threatening situations in the name of personal growth. Too many personal growth advocates push people to break far out of their comfort zone. Expand beyond your limits, destroy obstacles, and succeed beyond your wildest expectations! This is a terrible setup that is destined to fail.

Suddenly expanding beyond perceived limitations, which are psychological protections, brings fear of the unknown, sending the old brain into a tailspin. If it were possible to suddenly destroy your every psychological defense mechanism and wildly expand your boundaries to include all sorts of unfamiliar experiences, you would experience an incredible rush of panic.

A quest for inner peace and personal development should honor the need for emotional safety. You are wired for personal safety, and your personal development plan needs to be equally wired! If not, you are picking a fight with your old brain, and you will lose.

Module 6: Metaphoric Intervention

• Align yourself with the most meaningful and powerful way for you to view life
• Discover your personal metaphor
• Create new lenses to view areas of your life

Our concept of existence is metaphorical in nature. We can only comprehend life, objects, and ourselves by association, which is the broad meaning of metaphor – to understand one thing in terms of another. The Earth is a tiny ball floating through space. Associating the earth with a floating ball helps us put things in a context that fosters understanding. Here are some other examples:

The brain is like a computer; life is a test; college is like a 24/7 party; time is money; argument is war.

The metaphor we choose or inherit, often deeply unconscious, holds tremendous power over how we feel, think, behave, and interact with other people.

This module will help you discover your personal life metaphor and show you how to change it, if necessary, to something deeply empowering.

Module 7: Core Transformation

• Deep self-acceptance
• Tame the angry, rebellious, hidden, or outcast parts of yourself
• Experience your core state for perhaps the first time

The Core Transformation method is one of the deepest and most sophisticated processes in the field of NLP. The method was developed by Connie Rae Andreas, who has given the iNLP Center permission to teach it.

The goal of Core Transformation is to help one reach their core state, which is a state of wholeness, oneness, peace, or connection to the universe. As you work your way up and down the steps, you will see that you can access your core state at any moment. Every step of the process leads toward that state of wholeness.

In this module, we break down the steps. The video demonstration shows each part of the process, so you can replicate it with a client. The exercises featured in this module allow you to try it with a friend and work on yourself.

Module 8: The Default Mode Network

• Dramatic and immediate stress reduction
• Mindfulness tool to live in the moment
• Experience more clarity around difficult stressors

Sometimes, it may seem like a little demon is inside your brain, making you feel tense and miserable. Well, there is! When active, your brain has an internal network, the Default Mode Network (DMN), that continually generates an ocean of mental activity and body tension. The DMN never stops churning unless you are purposefully engaged in a particular cognitive task. When your task-oriented mind is resting, the DMN is working overtime. This is a proven scientific fact that has been validated via fMRI scans.

When the DMN is overactive, common today, it is like a digital clock that blinks the word stress incessantly. You move throughout your day on autopilot, churning, grinding thoughts, and body tension ruling your awareness. Your stress and preoccupation get in the way of dealing with others, getting work done and even sleeping.

Module 9: Meta Programs

• Understand key drivers of human behavior
• Become better at influencing others with integrity

In NLP, meta programs are information filters. They are mental sorting devices that determine which information to keep, which to ignore, which to act upon, and how to act.

Meta programs guide decisions and behaviors. Some meta programs are so powerful that they can almost seem like personality traits. They are not, though. They are simple filters that guide us through a world of information. Most often, meta programs are deeply unconscious. They do their work under the surface and are rarely discovered by people (who are typically studying NLP).

When you understand key meta-programs, you gain an unusually powerful insight into human behavior, decision-making, motivation, communication styles, and more.

Module 10: Presuppositions

• Understand the limited assumptions others make and turn them into breakthroughs
• Tailor your communication to empower others

Presuppositions are the linguistic equivalent of what most people call assumptions. Presuppositions refer to what must already be assumed to be true for the question or statement to make sense.

Presuppositions are typically not stated directly. The are hidden assumptions in conversation.

Every sentence we speak in everyday life contains presuppositions. In most cases, we tend not to consciously recognize what we have presupposed and concentrate on what is directly stated.

Therefore, presuppositions are unconsciously accepted as being true. This often has a direct impact on behavior, whether or not the assumption is accurate.

Module 11: Logical Levels

• Help people in the most efficient, effective way and with the highest amount of leverage
• Know where to intervene and what tools to use
• Create a path forward focused on the areas of need

The classic logical levels model, as introduced by Gregory Bateson, has long served as a guide for practitioners to know how to intervene. In this module, you will learn the nuts and bolts of Logical Levels. It will answer questions that you never thought to ask, such as:

Why are some behaviors so hard to change, and what can you do about it?

Where is the most efficient and effective place to intervene when someone presents a problem?

Where is the highest leverage place to intervene?

Module 12: Module Integration

This module helps you integrate the learning from all prior modules, developing a road map toward a specific, large-chunk goal in your future.

You will apply everything you have learned thus far in the training to this goal, dramatically increasing your chances for success and ensuring that the next period of your life will be filled with personal growth and empowerment.

You will also record an NLP session with a volunteer and submit it to demonstrate your Master NLP skills.
