"There are only a handful of people in the country whom I have personally trained and am totally confident in recommending. Doug O'Brien is one of these few."
- Anthony Robbins, author of "Unlimited Power" and "Awaken the Giant Within"

    "I highly recommend Doug O'Brien of D.O.B. & A. He is continually updating his training with the most up-to-date skills I have developed and is one of the few centers licensed internationally through the Society of Neuro-Linguistic Programming."
- Richard Bandler, Co-Creator of NLP

    "Doug O'Brien is that rare combination of humor, integrity and top-notch skills. If you want to learn NLP, do this class."
- John LaValle, Co-Author of "Persuasion Engineering"

    "I especially enjoy Doug's sense of humor -how he combines compassion with a light-hearted spirit."
- Dan Millman, Author of "Way of the Peaceful Warrior"

       There you have it -- these two amazing NLP Trainers have combined forces to provide you an uncomprisingly powerful and effective learning experience.

"And that's not all, folks." They'll be bringing in a special guest in 2012 (to be named soon!)

       At 2011's course, we brought in guest Charlie Badenhop -- the founder of Seishindo. Charlie's work is absolutely phenomenal, fascinating, and layered. He presented for 10 extraordinary hours, and then Doug & Jonathan modeled one aspect of his work, in depth, using the two separate methods of modeling taught during the course.

This 3-day Option is scheduled for Burlington, VT as the First 3 days of our NLP Master Practitioner Training. The dates are Thursday - Saturday, July 11-13, 2012. (Note, the rest of the NLP Master Practitioner training continues on, the very next day after Belief Craft).

This course can be taken either stand-alone as our Belief Craft course or is included as a necessary component to our certification course. If you only take Belief Craft, each participant showing cognitive and behavioral competency with this material will be awarded a certificate in "KE Belief Coaching."

Belief Craft combines Modeling with Jonathan's "Knowledge Engineering" method of unpacking beliefs and belief systems, with Doug's unique approach to "Sleight of Mouth."

Only a select few trainers know what modeling is, can do it extraordinarily well, and can teach it. This obviously includes the co-founders of NLP, and a handful of others such as Robert Dilts & David Gordon (there are others). And there are many other trainers who are gifted in their own areas of expertise (examples like Roger Deaner of LeaderVision in Melbourne who's gifted at Spiral Dynamics, and like Andy Smith in Manchester who's become a renowned author on Emotional Intelligence & Emotional Inquiry). These people are known for their own strengths, are great at modeling for their own purposes, also good at training it, and also recognize when another modeling system comes along that students are acquiring & using more rapidly than other systems that have been taught before.

That's what's happened with Jonathan's "Knowledge Engineering" approach to explicit modeling skills. Jonathan's KE course is increasingly being invited in as part of other trainers' NLP Master Practitioner courses. Then there are other trainers who frankly don't have the foggiest clue what modeling is. How to identify those? Those are often people who will shy away from abundant discussions of other wonderful and competent trainers and then attempt to redirect the conversation back to their own course. Caveat emptor! Modeling is the core of NLP! If they can't describe it to you in sensory rich detail, then they certainly can't train it!

Over the 1st 2 extended-days, you'll learn the links between the meta-model, clean language, values, decisions, strategies, beliefs, and belief systems, and you'll have an intuitive sense of the difference between modeling and changing someone else's map. Throughout those days, we'll be blending in elements of Sleight of Mouth, and on day 3, you'll get immersive and masterful instruction from Doug on Sleight of Mouth skills, and you'll use the combination of KE & SoM to dramatically enhance your ability to change minds in a targeted, graceful, and appreciated way. Gone will be the "Hammer-Nail" response people typically give in response to unskilled Sleight-of-Mouth users. Instead you'll see grateful responses emerging from the people you work with.

The cost for these 28 hours of training over 3 days, with both Doug & Jonathan for their "Belief Craft" workshop is:

• $895 (if paid in June or July 2012)
• $795 if paid in March, April or May 2012

    "One of the things people interested in NLP often wonder about is where they can get high quality training. I did my NLP Master Practitioner training with Jonathan Altfeld and Doug O'Brien, and in my opinion they are two of the very best trainers out there today. Both Jonathan and Doug have vast knowledge and experience in NLP, and they are both gifted teachers. Furthermore, Jonathan's unique "Knowledge Engineering" approach to modeling, together with Doug's mastery of "Sleight of Mouth" and Ericksonian hypnosis, make for an incredibly powerful combination that is not being taught literally anywhere else. I recommend that anyone who wants to take their NLP skills to truly world class levels should sign up for Jonathan and Doug's training immediately!"
- Aaron Spurling, NLP Master Practitioner, Indianapolis, IN
