A SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH OF NEURO-SEMANTIC NLP TRAINERS

While the Olympics where being held in London and the billion dollar Mars “car” landed on the Planet Mars — in GJ Colorado we began and completed NSTT—2012. And with that, we made a successful launch of the next group of trainers into the world — in fact all over Planet Earth. With this group we now have more trainers in the USA, Mexico, Brazil, Canada, Sweden, South Africa, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Panama!

Like the Meta-Coaching System, NSTT is a Training Boot Camp— very intense, it lasted 16 days this year and some were here for 21 days for the long hours (9 am to 9 pm) although that was just the classroom time. Much more went on prior to those hours and sometimes long afterwards. Why so long and so intense? Preparation. To prepare the trainers for handling the stresses and pressures of training.

In terms of quality, I think that we can modestly say that there is no NLP Training for Presentation Skills or Training skills that matches the quality. Each trainer-in-training presents 10 times in mini- presentations and then a final 30 minute presentation on a specified subject and each time the person is given extensive feedback to the benchmarks. The final presentation is measured at a minimum of 2.5 on the benchmark scales. In addition, there are dozen and dozens of Neuro-Semantic Drills that Colin Cox has invented that puts the trainers through stretches and challenges for their voice development, focus, management of semantic space, and more.

It was wonderful this year to have four NLP Trainers with us, adding Neuro-Semantics to their repertoire of skills and training options as well as joining the community. And it was wonderful to have four of our five Trainers who are in the Master Trainer Internship — Lena Gray (New Zealand), David Murphy (Mexico), Alan Fayter (New Zealand), and Patrik Fordell (Sweden), (Omar Salom could not be with us this year). They challenged Colin Cox and myself in benchmarking presentations that were at a 2.7 to a 3.3 level causing us to make many, many more finer distinctions of excellence and expanding the benchmarks for the upper levels.

And due to this factor, for the first time since the introduction of the formal benchmarks in 2004, every single person reached competency level on the seven core competencies. WE also had four other experienced Trainers who returned to assist in the process: Germaine Rediger (Belgium), Femke Stuut (USA, Netherlands), Mark Ashton (USA), and Mohamed Terek (Eygpt).

If you are interested in developing your Presentation (public speaking) and Training skills, the next NSTT will be in Hong Kong (Sept. 14 through 25, 2013), and after that the plans are for both Australia

and Brazil (2014). Several have asked if there are more copies of the NSTT Training Manual ... after making sure that we had enough for the training, I can now confirm that I do have some extra copies and for those you can contact me directly (see below).

If interested, write to me with your mailing address at [email protected] The training manuals are bound as a book in perfect binding and are $45 plus shipping.
