THE BEST EVER NSTT

A few days ago the latest class of Neuro-Semanticists graduated as licensed Trainers, adding 73 more trainers to our ranks in the month of June (45 from Hong Kong and 28 from Colorado). The Colorado Training was the first time that NSTT had returned to my hometown since 2004 and in returning, it was the largest one conducted in the United States. We had 28 participants from 10 countries and 7 language groups: United States, Canada, Mexico, Netherlands, Sweden, France, Kenya, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand. This training I co-trained with Colin Cox and Omar Salom which was supported by Lena Gray and Jim Walsh. Both Omar and Lena are in the Master Trainer track— missing from that track was Cheryl Lucas, Lene Fjellheim, and Alan Fayter.

The Best One Ever In terms of quality, the leadership team all agreed that this was the best one ever. And why? A key to that is the fact that the program itself keeps evolving. It keeps evolving due to the feed back we get and search for from participants and the feedback we give to each other every day of the training. It evolves from the things that we keep learning about what works and what does not. Today the core competencies of presentation and training are developed by presentation, practice, benchmarking presentations, flexibility drills (presentation games), and the psychology that supports the processes and patterns.

This was also the first time ever we actually covered all of the materials in the program. Part of the reason that we were able to do that in Colorado was the quality of knowledge and skill that the participants came with and demonstrated. Overall, it was much higher than in previous groups and that allowed us to move on quickly beyond the elementary factors.

What we heard over and over, what was written on the feedback repeatedly was that the training was so transformative it was two trainings in one, one for Training and Platform skills, the other for Transforming Personality. From the practice in Hong Kong, we immediately tightened up the benchmarks ... thereby providing the highest standard and the most rigorous discipline yet. And many of the people who had previously graduated from various NLP Trainers’ Training programs said that this far exceeded their expectations and anything they had previously experienced. A few said that received more by the end of Day 2 than their entire Trainers’ Training.

From this NSTT, 4 new Institutes of Neuro-Semantics was launched on the last day— an Institute in Canada, United States, Sweden and the Netherlands.

The first 5 days were video-taped and, in fact, each trainer was recorded and received a CD of all of the presentations. This was done by Jason Focht and John from Austin Texas. Then on Days

6 and 7 they video-taped The Psychology of APG which will soon be a video product, the first time this has ever been recorded.

For the last several months, numerous people have already been asking, “Where will be the next NSTT? And when?” We are now in conversation about taking it to Europe in 2011. Given this we want to ask the readers on Neurons the following questions: Would you be interested in NSTT in Europe at the end of July– first of August, 2011? Would you prefer Paris France or Brussels Belgium?

If you are interested in NSTT— send me an email (privately to [email protected]). We want to get a sense of who and how many are interested in that.

For the first time ever also — we had 5 participants who came directly from the Meta-Coach Pathway (Coaching Essentials, Coaching Genius, Coaching Mastery - ACMC) and who experienced the 15 days of NSTT so that they can become Coach Entry Trainers (able to train Modules I and II) of the pathway. Those in this process are: Irena O’Brien, Ph.D., Henrik Schalen, M.D., Dan Ellappa, Maria Jagerwall.

Below I have attached a list of all of the new Trainers ... so that you can contact them for trainings in Neuro-Semantics. We will have their names and emails permanently on the List of Official Neuro-Semantic Trainers on the primary website soon (www.neurosemantics.com).
