Learning NLP Recommended Paths - How to Learn NLP

NLP for Teaching, NLP for Training,
NLP Public Speaking,
NLP 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 NLP Coaches & NLP Coaching Programs for Speakers

One-On-One:

Our trainer Jonathan Altfeld has several Inner Circle coaching clients that he sees in person on occasion or works with online, to improve their public speaking skills. About half are executives from managers up through 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 & 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.

To discuss coaching services from Jonathan, complete our online feedback form or call 717-264-8444. You'll know very, very quickly just how smart a decision you'll have made -- typically within the first hour. For serious speakers, not hiring Jonathan would be a very costly mistake -- because whatever you're currently making as a speaker, you could always be earning substantially more. And coaching is a much faster route to learning NLP and putting it into practice, than group workshops will ever be.

Recommended NLP Seminars & NLP Training for Public Speaking & Presentation Skills

The first question you may be asking is, "Should I take an NLP Practitioner or NLP Master Practitioner training?" The answer is, 'if you can afford the time/money to attend such courses, definitely do it!' Longer NLP courses offer us a wonderful self-fulfilling developmental journey whose benefits are profound, dramatic, and long-lasting. But the following specific courses for learning NLP, are much 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 been trained three times before, and if we receive enough requests from you we may add it into our upcoming calendar.
• 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!
• Our Silent Exchanges™ . If you've ever been mystified about nonverbal communication, perhaps missed signals, or misinterpreted gestures, you really need to get yourself to this course. Jonathan has learned how to train completely nonverbal conversational skills. You'll learn how to develop unique nonverbal lexicons with anyone you meet. This creates a magical and private connection with absolutely anyone.
• Our Becoming Outrageously Funny™ . If you want or need to be far funnier -- if you secretly wish YOU were the natural center of attention -- this is the course for you. NLP Trainer Jonathan Altfeld has used modeling to study how humor works -- and as a result, this course emerged. Come get trained in how to be outrageously funny! This course is unlike any "stand-up comedy" course -- we're not training people to do 5-minute stand-up routines. We're training people to find their naturally funniest personality inside!
