NLP training program in Pune If you are looking for NLP training program in Pune, you may notice that there are many NLP trainers in Pune who offer a two-day diploma in NLP or a Foundation program in NLP, so that you can check it out and know what it is all about. You need NLP Practitioner Training Program to make a decent basic entry into the NLP World. The variations, like one day or two days which have come up, will continue to come up, but they serve more as a preparatory course or a marketing strategy to pull people towards the actual NLP Practitioner training program. You need more than two days to understand the content and practical applications of NLP. So even if you are exploring what NLP is all about it is a better idea to attend an NLP Practitioner program directly, because half day, one day, or two days won’t be even NLP. They will be a marketing version, which means there will be activities (some not even NLP) which are catered towards making participants more curious about an extended course. Many NLP Trainers in Pune (some project to be NLP Master Trainers & NLP Trainers on their site, beware of them, that itself is another topic) offer NLP Practitioner program, but the quality of the program depends on the factors listed below: • The trainer who is conducting the training program • Who has trained the trainer who is conducting the NLP Practitioner Program • Whether the program is theoretical or experiential • The trainers’ practical experience with NLP • The way they use NLP and the areas they have developed using NLP It is important to find out what the program is all about if you want the best out of an NLP program. Does the program cover: using NLP in improving communication, how to manage mental and emotional state, how it can be applied and used successfully in different situations, how to apply NLP for Self Coaching and coaching others, and how it can be used in personal and business areas with multiple explanations of NLP topics based on activity, reflections, and discussions.

Top NLP training in India Some of the so-called top NLP training in India (as claimed by some Indian trainers) are run by fraudulent trainers, who basically have not even completed NLP Master Practitioner and NLP Trainer level.  They shamelessly claim to be NLP Master Trainers.  The fraud does not end there, now these so-called NLP Master Trainers are creating further NLP Master Trainers as well, and calling it a value-add.  Shameful!  This post is not to ‘name them to shame them’, but this is a content post for awareness.  Some of these frauds will lure you in and then try to sell some great promise,  which is the latest fraud that is prevalent in the market. It is easy to fall for them as they sound very easy way out.   An NLP Master Trainer tag does not come because of a training program.  It is a commitment that an NLP Trainer demonstrates, and some of the top NLP bodies like the Society of NLP (SNLP), International Society of NeuroSemantics (ISNS), American Board of NLP (ABNLP), and NLP University have basic criteria around that.  For example, to facilitate 6+ NLP Practitioner level programs and co-facilitation requirement in 2+ NLP Master Practitioner level programs, number of years as NLP Trainer, validation by Master Trainers.  This is an example of how an NLP Trainer can move into a designation of an NLP Master Trainer by a decent accreditation body, and that does not seem to be the norm these days, especially in India, where anybody and everybody claims to be a Best NLP Trainer in India, and Master Trainer in India.  Indians generally are not gullible, it is vice versa, some Indians are expert crooks who want to cheat people by portraying something which is different from reality and they shamelessly do it.  Well, it is not only Indians, but we also have many foreign trainers coming to India, portraying as brand ambassadors of International NLP associations, and they have created a business of cheating Indians based on how the information is being shown.  As usual, most Indians don’t pay attention and have a habit to fall for these things, including the skin color of the trainer.   The surge in NLP...

“You only get one chance in life, so do your best to make it count, in whatever way that is meaningful to you” There is not a single person in this world, who has not encountered challenging situations in life. Our lives can be aptly compared to a jigsaw puzzle. We keep putting the pieces together, manage to complete a puzzle only to encounter another and the process goes on and on. In this chaos, we strive to find some meaning in this madness, which many times lead us to disappointment and despair. Our lives are ruled by reactions, some pleasant, some unpleasant.  A pleasant reaction gives us joy whereas unpleasant reactions can leave many of us feeling stressed, angry or sad.  We have to deal with ourselves and other human beings, each day. Sparks are bound to fly. Negative feelings are bound to happen. What it would take, to deal with such situations would be, a strong sense of awareness and control of one’s mind and actions. Gaining this power and strength would allow us to lead fulfilling lives and be in control of the – who, what, when, why and how’s – in our lives. We could also call them question marks or limiting patterns. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques (NLP training in action) show the way to create something meaningful out of these limiting patterns.  NLP techniques during an NLP training are designed to support important and subtle skills which include dissociation, rapport building, content re-framing, modelling, anchoring, and belief change. These techniques which a participant can learn in an NLP Practitioner program in India are based on the concept that we already possess the abilities and capabilities needed to bring about the change in our lives and the lives of people we interact with.   What it takes is understand the ‘how’. Zeroing in on a specific area of our life that we want to improve, by detecting our current thought patterns, to uncover self-limiting beliefs and working on those areas to achieve positive results is what NLP training in action will helps us uncover through various techniques, mainly: Dissociation This NLP technique helps to diffuse or overcome negative feelings which might have aroused due to some...

How to improve speaking skills  If you are a leader, a manager or even someone who occasionally speaks to a gathering, I am sure you must have googled the tips for how to improve speaking skills. You may also have spent considerable time on gathering information from various sources on how to be an effective public speaker. Let me start with the bad news first. There’s a term we often use in psychology, its called expert’s guilt. The term means that when you speak to an expert, they will often talk to you at a level where they “expect” you to know the basics. A simple example can be that of a computer engineer trying to explain to you how to use a computer. If you tell them that you don’t know what a VGA cable is or where the power button is located on the keyboard, they will be quite astonished. Because for them, this little piece of information is quite basic. For a computer engineer, “everyone” knows what a power button is, I mean who doesn’t? Now that’s the problem which most of us face as well as commit in our daily lives. What we often ignore are the basic behaviors that catalyze the reactions in our actions. Anyway! To cut to the chase, my point is that if you want to be effective at any skill you want to explore, start at the very basic level of “how” something works, as against “what” works, more so when it comes to how to improve speaking skills.  Many people are fearful about public speaking, and this is the reason many people opt to attend an NLP Practitioner Certification Training in India or in other parts of the world as well. Coming back to public speaking, whenever you observe an effective public speaker and want to seek guidance, your questions to both yourself as well as to them if you do get a chance to seek guidance, should be “how did they do it?” rather than just “what did they do”. The mistake with most of the content that I’ve seen on the internet as well as some effective public speaking experts is either the expert’s guilt, or just...

NLP Identity Coaching The Way Forward Business owners, leaders, and managers will know how important it is to create a community of employees who feel inspired and motivated by the environment they work in. It is not always easy to create such a work culture and for those who feel that the employees are unable to deliver promising results, NLP identity coaching can be of great value. There are certain aspects of NLP identity coaching that aim at bringing transformations in the perception and meaning of a person and improving their confidence so that they can inspire others.  It is a great way of preparing executives who are ready for a shift from their current level to the next one. Since NLP Identity Coaching is based on the movement from your current state of identity to a desired identity state, it is one of the best means of gaining success in the desired environment. Why Do You Need Identity Coaching? People must be able to identify their inner being and understand what they really are. They should be able to lead their lives in harmony with themselves. With NLP identity coaching we aim at continually answering the question “Who am I?” Your identity is reflected every day in the actions you perform, in the words you say and in the moods you display. Each of these have an impact on the people around you, and your own future. NLP helps you answer the question with deeper meaning. When you are connected to yourself and to the world around you, you will be able to find the true meaning of what you really are, and this will help you further question what you really want to be. It aims at using tools that are easy to grasp and learn so that you can bring impactful changes in yourself. Our aspirations and busyness often disconnect us from what we really are when we block our true selves to don the garb of what we feel we must be. This is usually unintentional and we hardly realize that we have disconnected ourselves from our inner being which in turn brings to question our actual identity. NLP identity coaching helps in removing the...
