NLP Foundations
Learn How to Get Results with NLP
A complete foundation in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, built from more than 20 years of teaching, live training and masterclasses.
What is NLP Foundations?
NLP Foundations is a complete introduction to Neuro-Linguistic Programming, designed to give you a practical understanding of how people think, communicate, make decisions and change.
There are 56 lessons and more than 40 hours of training inside the programme. The material brings together some of the best masterclasses and live training I have developed and refined over more than 20 years of teaching NLP.
You can work through the programme at your own pace, return to the material whenever you need it, and start applying what you learn immediately.
The Foundations of NLP
I have organised the training around five areas that I believe are fundamental to understanding and applying NLP.
Mindset
Most coaches think communication is about the words. The words are the smallest part of what's happening. Underneath every conversation there's an unconscious filter shaping what people let in, what they distort, and what they delete.
This gives you a framework for understanding what's actually happening when people communicate, listen and misunderstand each other.
Motivation
When someone knows what to do and still doesn't do it, the problem is rarely a lack of information.
This part of the training explores the unconscious drivers behind behaviour and gives you a different way of understanding what keeps patterns in place.
Messaging
The power of language is not simply in the content of what people say. It's in the way they construct their experience of reality.
You'll learn the language skills needed to hear what's underneath the presenting problem and work with meaning rather than simply arguing about content.
Modelling
NLP is the user manual for the mind.
This part of the programme gives you practical diagnostic tools for understanding behaviour, identity and the patterns behind people's results. You'll practise these on yourself first.
Mastery
Knowing techniques is one thing. Knowing when and how to use them is another.
This section brings the different elements of NLP together and gives you a practical collection of techniques that you can continue to develop and apply.
Before the techniques, there are the Pillars of Transformation
The first module introduces the principles that determine whether change actually holds or fades.
You'll learn the four laws of Consequences, Equivalences, Coherence and Value, and why these principles matter when you're trying to create lasting change.
56 lessons. 40+ hours of training.
Here's what you'll work through inside NLP Foundations.
Module 1 — Pillars of Transformation
Includes my book and video training on the four laws that determine whether change holds or fades: the Law of Consequences, the Law of Equivalences, the Law of Coherence and the Law of Value. When I see NLP techniques fail with clients, it's almost always because the practitioner doesn't have the Pillars in place.
Module 2 — Foundations of Communication
Most coaches think communication is about the words. The words are the smallest part of what's happening. Underneath every conversation there's an unconscious filter shaping what people let in, what they distort and what they delete. This module gives you the framework for what's actually moving when you communicate.
Module 3 — Leveraging the Limbic System
When someone knows what to do and still doesn't do it, the problem is rarely a lack of information. This module explores the unconscious drivers behind behaviour and gives you a way to work with the patterns that can keep people stuck.
Module 4 — Leveraging Language
The power of language is not simply in the content of what people say. It's in the dynamics of how they construct their reality. When someone comes to you with a presenting problem, that's rarely the real problem. This module gives you the language skills you need to find what's actually underneath.
Module 5 — Tools for Transformation
NLP is the user manual for the mind. This module gives you diagnostic tools for reading behaviour, decoding identity, spotting the turning point in someone's story and recognising where change needs to happen. You'll practise these on yourself first.
Module 6 — The Trail of Techniques
Knowing NLP is one thing. Knowing how to use it is another. This module brings together the techniques and practical skills you've developed throughout the programme.
Who is NLP Foundations for?
Foundations is designed for people who want to understand NLP properly and learn how to apply it, without committing immediately to full Practitioner training.
- People who are completely new to NLP
- People who have studied NLP before but want a clearer foundation
- Coaches, trainers and professionals who want better tools for communication and change
- People who want to apply NLP to their own thinking, behaviour and results
- People who may eventually want to continue into Practitioner training
Learn from someone who has been teaching NLP for more than 20 years
I've been teaching personal development and NLP for more than two decades. Foundations brings together some of the training I've developed, taught and refined during that time. My aim with Foundations is simple: to give you practical NLP that you can understand and use.
What's included
Want to take your NLP further?
NLP Foundations stands on its own. You don't have to become a Practitioner to benefit from the training.
If, after completing Foundations, you decide that you want to develop your skills further, it also gives you a strong starting point for professional NLP Practitioner training.
