One thing is certain. You're here at this website, exploring and learning NLP, for your own reasons. If it hasn't already become obvious from visiting this and other NLP Training websites, there is no one single recommended path, or purpose, for learning NLP.

Over thirty years ago, NLP was developed primarily for and amongst an eclectic group of therapists, for rapid and profoundly powerful changework. Since the early days it has grown dramatically to encompass a vast range of extraordinary human skills, and is now used by hundreds of thousands of people across the globe. Perhaps millions.

This is because there are many, many different reasons to learn NLP. And there are many, many different ways to learn NLP. How do you begin to choose where to start? Or what's next? Which trainers are best for you? Which home study materials? Hopefully this page will give you a recommended framework for further development, wherever you are, whatever your background, whatever your reasons for learning NLP, and however far you want to go with your studies.

Out of Hundreds of Reasons to Learn NLP,
the Mastery InSight Institute can best serve you
in these Five Key Areas of Development.

So if you fit into any of the following five reasons to pursue NLP, you stand to gain a great deal from our organization (and our affiliations with business partners).

Let's first explore your learning style: Are you more "options" oriented, or "procedures" oriented? Whichever you are, you should embrace that, and follow a path that best serves your style!

Options-oriented people like to have lots of choices, don't like to be told how to do things or what to do in sequence, rather they would prefer just to be shown what they can accomplish, or told what the end result should be, and they'll find their own pathway. Procedures-oriented people like to be instructed what to do in the optimal sequence. They like checklists. And they associate completing that checklist in order, with success. Which are you?

If you feel "lost" with all of the choices available to you with NLP, then chances are, you're more Procedures-Oriented, and THIS PAGE IS FOR YOU! If not, then feel free to explore our site in your own preferred way.

Teaching / Training / Public Speaking / Presentation Skills

If you do any of the above as part of your career or lifestyle, we can dramatically improve your game. If your income is tied to how you perform on the platform, how well you sell onstage, &/or how you package information & call people to action, we can help you dramatically raise your income.

Speaking & giving presentations is one of those pursuits where you can ALWAYS improve. If you think you're good enough, if you truly don't want or need to take your skills or knowledge or performance or income to a higher level, then fine. Otherwise, you would do well to pursue all of the following specific recommendations. Our students continually agree: "Our courses ought to be Required Learning for every teacher & speaker."

Recommended Coaching Programs for Speakers

One-On-One:

Our trainer Jonathan Altfeld has several 'inner circle' coaching clients in this Skill genre that he sees in person on occasion or works with online. About half are CEO's who regularly have to give influential presentations. The other half are niche public speakers who do platform sales while training. Jonathan's targeted feedback has been highly valuable to these people, many of whom command high six or seven figure incomes.

When a speaker is leaving money on the table (in other words, not selling as much as they can/could to their highly qualified prospect audiences), Jonathan helps them close more sales, more easily, making his services not a liability or cost, but a really wise investment. When a presenter or speaker is working to earn $1000 a day instead of drawing $3500 for a 90-minute keynote, Jonathan's services can help them bring their A Game out, thereby increasing a speaker's earning potential.

Jonathan's services presently run $2500/day plus travel, or $300/hour for online or phone coaching or DVD/video speaking performance analysis services. You'll know very, very quickly just how smart a decision you'll have made -- within the first hour, easily. For serious speakers, not hiring Jonathan would be a very, very costly mistake.

Group Coaching for Speakers:

Coming Soon -- an online membership-based coaching group for our students who have taken our Holographic Communication training.

Recommended NLP Seminars for Speakers

The first question you may be asking is, "Should I take a Practitioner or Master Practitioner training?" The answer is, 'if you can afford the time/money to attend such courses, do it.' Longer NLP courses offer us a wonderful self-fulfilling developmental journey whose benefits are profound, dramatic, and long-lasting. But, the following courses, are more targeted "must-do" recommendations.

  • Our FAST™ - Finesse Accelerated Skills Transfer. This is a 2-day course designed to teach training-design skills to speakers & trainers. If you've ever wanted to know how Jonathan designs his courses, redesigns them on-the-fly as needed, and often brilliantly constructs in-class exercise drills to meet specific needs, this course teaches you his unique methods for course design & student tasking within a classroom setting. This very special 2-day course is what sets Jonathan's work apart from so many other trainers who can't get past their cookie cutter origins. This course has only been trained once before, in Melbourne Australia, and if we receive enough requests from you we may add it to our US or UK Calendar for 2008.
  • Our Holographic Communication™. This is the course every speaker reading this page should RUN, not walk, to sign up for. 15 students maximum accepted for each of these events, which is more like an intensive speaker's coaching program. We record your stagework sessions throughout the course on your own DVD, back to back, including targeted positive feedback before & after every presentation. Come read our student testimonials & review our video case studies!
  • Our Linguistic Wizardry™. This course is great for speakers who either don't have the time or money for the full 5-day Holographic Communication training, or who want a refresher of SOME of the material from the Holographic course. There's about 50% overlap on the specific skills taught between this course and the Holographic Communication course. So this course is not only great fun, but fabulous for fresh practice with feedback, of skills learned elsewhere.
  • Our Irresistible Voice™ . This course is a must for anyone who uses their voice to communicate ideas, messages, and calls to action. You're either turning people on, or off, with your voice, and there isn't much middle ground. Grease the wheels of influence -- improve your voice. Get it done! Every single day with a whiny, tinny, gravelly, or annoying voice translates to lost opportunities, ignored messages, & restricted income!
