Announcing: The ULTIMATE Presentation Skills and Public Speaking Course, using NLP to Deliver ANY Content More Effectively and Memorably.

Find out why HUNDREDS of our Public Speaking students call this course a "Best-Kept Secret!"

Speaking Ingeniously

      Dear Trainer and Public Speaker... (or even if you're aiming to become one!)

      It is indeed one of the more rewarding experiences in life to stand up in front of an appreciative audience & wow them. And the skills required to find your own voice & style with your audiences can definitely be learned by anyone. And yet, while many people see public speaking as something they want to enjoy doing, it continues to rank amongst the most often-expressed fears people have. If this describes you, I'd like to show you how you can get past those fears with zero pain, and maximum fun. Getting from Scared -- to Ready and Excited -- can be amazingly easy.

      Even if you're not one of the many people who aren't comfortable in front of any audience, there are a variety of well-known methods for public speaking that use outdated and inefficient training methods, that despite their great intentions, take far too much time to master. Case in point: one organization that uses a buzzer every time a speaker says "umm." This kind of negative reinforcement makes eliminating the habit uncomfortable & very difficult. I suggest that you can acquire vast amounts of speaking skill, that you can learn good speaking habits and eliminate bad ones within only 5 days, using optimal brain-training and behavioral shaping methods. And I promise: ABSOLUTELY no buzzers, or shock-treatments! No hot coals to walk over. And DEFINITELY no flying you 1000 miles away, dropping you off without any money, and telling you to use your skills to get back to the training within 24 hours. None of that. Just a pure public speaking skills training -- using a state-of-the-art accelerated learning paradigm.

      Knowing people get significant value from you as a public speaker provides a sense of satisfaction that is very difficult to convey through words, but profound in its congruence. I can only describe it to you from my own perspective. Over the last 4 years I've earned a very warm welcome from a growing body of customers & students, many of whom return to attend more than 1 event. Each time I walk on stage, my attention becomes totally attuned to how much I can do for/with my seminar attendees. And seeing you/them grow is the best result I could ask for! And so it will be for you.

• Develop an experiential innate understanding of process language vs content language, and manage the HOW, while you're sharing the WHAT.
• Condition yourself to use BOTH INPUT (observation) & OUTPUT (speaking & behaving) channels... concurrently -- and NEVER lose track of your audience while speaking again!
• Learn 10+ ways to grab your audience's attention within seconds, to ALWAYS start speaking powerfully, and EASILY reclaim an audience's waning attention!
• Discover the magic of "hypnotic fractionation" of an audience's attention, to More Rapidly Claim an audience, and Make Your Presentations FAR more Memorable!
• Learn to notice the sometimes subtle, sometimes glaring signals that audience members want you to notice. There's no Excuse for Failing to Pay Attention to Your Audience. With better awareness, you won't need any excuses!
• Learn to notice the signals that audience members wish you wouldn't notice, which helps you tune your presentation more effectively anyway! MANY audience members have hidden, secret responses to things we speakers say. For Speakers, these are incredibly valuable to notice.
• Replace distracting habits with Captivating ones! So your audience can FINALLY focus fully on the magic they truly know is inside you!
• And much, much more...

• Emotional-State-Chaining, This is the CORE SKILLSET taught at Speaking Ingeniously. A critically important skill in NLP, rarely taught well, often not taught! You'll learn to move people from unresourceful and unresponsive to resourcefully responsive, and influence them at the same time with your content: We are thrilled to share... your life will NEVER be the same again!
• Chunking Strategies. Should you begin from a high level and then work your way to details? Begin with details and work your way up to the 20,000 foot view? Use the wrong method with the wrong audience, and you're dead in the water. Train with us, and that concern goes away!
• Headlines for Instant Curiosity, As an NLP Trainer, I never open my mouth to start training content until/unless every face shows clear curiosity for what I'm about to say. Most people just start blurting out content, but that's amateur hour. Learn my approach, and ALWAYS start from curiosity!
• Spatial/Stage Anchoring! The greatest speakers and comedians know how to use the space on a stage to enhance a presentation, something most speakers will never learn. These "tricks" can make the difference between a memorable talk and a confusing one, even the difference between an empty pocket and a sale.
• Time-Distortion, One of the GREAT gifts from the fields of NLP & Hypnosis over to the Public Speaking world. There are 100's of nuances and patterns here that will have dramatically changed people's experience of your speaking ability. Perhaps there'll be a time in the future where you'll be calling and emailing us repeatedly to share your excitement over what will have happened for you and your audience members!
• How to Be Succinct, Most speakers talk WAY too much and deliver far too much material. I know multiple unique exercises that teach you how to reduce the fluff.
• 5 different Ways to Structure a Presentation, so you'll have multiple methods for packaging information and moving people to action! (1) Emotional-State Chaining, (2) Nested Loops/Metaphors, (3) Timeline-Based Delivery, (4) Presenting Involved Technical Content with Chunking Strategies, (5) Designing Presentations Backwards for Maximal Content Acquisition/Retention, and actually, more than 5!
• Embedded Commands and MANY other influential language patterns, using my VERY PRECISE auditory nuances; when you start using Ericksonian language patterns to improve the way people hear and respond to your platform speaking, you'll find yourself amazed at the results you'll get. Learn our most effective auditory nuances to make yourself maximally hypnotic!
• Sensory-Rich Language, to make your presentations more vibrant and memorable start-to-finish!
• When to use ACTIVE vs. FROZEN language; Some types of words support what you want to accomplish in front of audiences, some types of words get in the way. Your audiences will find GREATER EASE with imagining fabulous new future possibilities!
• And much, much more...

Case Study #1: Andy R., Attorney, Los Angeles

At the start of our workshop: (2-minutes, 20-seconds) Windows Media (3.7 MB) Quicktime (2.4 MB) Things to notice: While Andy is animated, notice that as he begins, we don't know why we're listening to him. We don't know the point he's going to make. He also distracts us from his intended storyline with lots of random movement and arbitrary hand activity. In addition, his presentation is interesting, but not well organized. His chosen topic involves descriptions of action but fails to utilize sensory rich descriptions to bring them to life. Andy also isn't using strong language patterns for maximum audience response & retention... yet. In short, while you may have enjoyed the story, it's unlikely you'll remember it much after it's over, and it's unlikely to influence anyone to do things differently, or take any specific future action. At the end of our workshop: (4-minutes, 14-seconds) Windows Media (6.0 MB) Quicktime (9.8 MB) Things to notice: Andy has slowed his presentation down, and while it first appears to reduce his energy by comparison to day 1, the new pace allows him to maintain and follow a compelling presentation structure. Within 10 seconds of him starting, while we don't yet know exactly what his story's about, we DO know WHY we're listening to him. We know what value it will likely hold, for us. So we as audience members begin from Curiosity. Also, Andy now uses space well, minimizes his distracting behavior, uses hypnotic pacing skills, and delivers his content with compelling language patterns for maximum audience retention. Even if he hasn't convinced you thoroughly of his argument, he has raised salient, memorable points, and you may find yourself discussing this topic with friends in the near future. Over 5 days, a handful of less-than-helpful presenting habits were trained out, a whole host of existing skills were sharpened, and a collection of new, powerful presentation skills were trained in!

Case Study #2: Craig Eubanks, Entrepreneur, CA

At the start of our workshop: (4-minutes, 37-seconds) Windows Media (5.8 MB) Quicktime (10.8 MB) Things to notice: Craig's first performance was actually recorded on day 2, so he'd already begun to incorporate our method when this was taped. But Craig has plainly already had some quality NLP training, as his first recording shows evidence of: hypnotic pacing, sensory rich descriptions, language patterns (e.g. embedded commands), state-shifting, and more. And since this was day 2, he took my suggestion from day-1 seriously, and used a good value-based headline as well. The problems Craig faced at the time of this recording was: (1) he spent too long in the "down/depressed" problem state, given the length of the presentation. (2) There's not enough of a dramatic emotional distinction between problem state and success/solution state. (3) There is too much random movement of his hands, which diminishes the power & usefulness of any of his state-anchors. (4) His presentation makes effective use of a range of NLP/stagework skills, but it looks/feels a little clunky (by comparison to what he did at the end of the course). At the end of our workshop: (6-minutes, 36-seconds) Windows Media (9.3 MB) Quicktime (15.7 MB) Things to notice: Craig has obviously made immense leaps. (1) He spent a smaller fraction of his full performance in the "problem state." (2) He makes cleaner, more congruent and dramatic state shifts. The solution state feels like a solution state. (3) There is much less random movement of his hands, which lets him be more precise and meaningful when he does choose to anchor audience emotional state responses. (4) His stage presence and use of space on the floor to help us follow his transitions is significantly smoother, and, he even looks like he's enjoying making the transitions more easily. Interestingly, though his headline here on day 5 wasn't value-driven (it mentions an ancient secret and doesn't tell us what for), he delivered it dramatically and achieved the same result: Intense Curiosity. This was a much more masterful presentation, a beautiful blend of Craig's existing skills, and the range of skills we taught. 3 days difference, between day 2 & day 5 -- shows the results that can be achieved with a few days of my targeted coaching/feedback. Whether you're an accomplished speakers or completely new -- everyone will benefit immensely!

Case Study #3: Peter Garff, Financial Advisor, UT

At the start of our workshop: (4-minutes, 36-seconds) Windows Media (6.2 MB) Quicktime (13.7 MB) Things to notice: The nature of Peter's presentation is a lesson on the value of consistency, determination, and focus. But you wouldn't know that from listening to the first two minutes of this four minute presentation. There's no use of a value-based headline to prime our desires as an audience. Further, here on Day 1, while Peter successfully follows one of my early lessons in public speaking (set up a solution to a problem), he doesn't use his NLP skills to make his problem ours, and then to draw us into the process of solving the problem with him. He unintentionally kept the audience distant from his valuable experience/memory. Knowing Peter personally, he's an interesting guy. And he knows a lot of NLP. I've enjoyed many a meal with him between training sessions and he's always an engaging, sociable fellow. And oddly, the moment he stepped on stage, he went inside of his head, and disconnected from us as an audience. (This was a recurring theme in other contexts, i.e., sales closing). My primary task as a trainer, with Peter, was to enable him to keep open both his output (speaking) channel, and his input (observation/listening) channel at the same time. Towards the end of our workshop: (9-minutes, 48-seconds) Windows Media (7.4 MB) Quicktime (4.3 MB) Things to notice: Biggest whirlwind changes: Peter is showing ample evidence throughout that he is now (a) managing his delivery, and (b) remaining aware of the audience members, all at the same time. He also now makes better, cleaner use of space, and gestures. Also, Peter's use of suggestive language and time distortion is much stronger and smoother in his final presentation. Further, he's surprisingly good at incorporating (potential) audience values into his delivery (and 'going first' fully into the positive emotional states behind those values). You might have noticed Peter didn't use a headline right up front. Normally, I'd agree, and that's one of my hot buttons! However, instead, Peter broke my rule for a reason: He wanted to pace & lead the audience gently into validating his credibility before he delivers his headline -- which he successfully does, about a minute into the delivery. All rules are made to be broken if you have good reasons! Peter's big challenge was that he wanted to more consistently utilize all the NLP skills he's studied over the past 10+ years. His final 10 minute performance is so effectively loaded with NLP, by comparison to his first performance, it's almost like looking at two completely different speakers. Way to go, Peter!

Case Study #4: David Gould, Hypno/therapist, UK

At the start of our workshop: (2-minutes, 33-seconds) Windows Media (4.2 MB) Quicktime (1.3 MB) Things to notice: The law of contrast in action: Dave's been highly trained in NLP & hypnosis by amongst the best. One on one, Dave is highly skilled and has pattern-matching awareness & skills that outshine most other NLP enthusiasts (I know this because he's assisted at most of my UK events for 7 years). However... he wasn't a public speaker when he took this class, so the stage is foreign, new territory. We get from Dave almost exactly what we would expect -- evidence of deep skill, poorly organized and inconsistently delivered, distracted by the new experience and complexities of delivering a compelling story to a group -- but outside of a friendly social peer group setting -- instead in a new, on stage environment. So what we see is: Too much random movement. Too much and too dramatic seemingly-random vocal volume & rate changes for any audience. Nice use of time distortion and embedded commands, but not offered as part of a planned, holistic, audience experience. There's no real headline that sparks our human values, so we don't know why we're listening to him. And even though there are moments when he surprises us and grabs our attention back, finally, he ends it with a sense of uncertainty -- we're not even sure he's done, when he's done. Towards the end of our workshop: (10-minutes, 19-seconds) Windows Media (10.9 MB) Quicktime (4.8 MB) Things to notice: Dave's gotten a lot more comfortable & daring. Also, from an NLP view, this is a complex performance. To explain, I have to distinguish between "process" & "content." Dave is talking about manifesting his ideal woman, & some of the methodologies he's studied (Huna, NLP, Crowlian Magick, Silva Mind Control). That's the content of his performance; the specific things said. However, he presents that content in a heavily layered & elegantly weaved fashion. That's all process. Dave's chosen process is highly sophisticated -- an near-masterful blend of some of our more advanced techniques & some of his own hypnosis & NLP skills. Granted, Dave could have kept things simple and delivered a smoother performance, but it's nice to see people wrestling & succeeding with challenging material! The VALUE here is in process, more than in content. Here's what Dave achieved: Nesting 3 Loops: Outside: Resourceful, Middle: Action, Finding resources, Inner: Frustration/Unresourceful. Educating us on self-changework methods (Huna, Silva, Crowlian Magick, & NLP) for connecting to our unconscious minds. Suggesting the audience consider using a manifestation ritual to find anything (in his case, using the example of him finding the woman of his dreams). Effectively using a range of other NLP skills to optimize the audience's internal representations for increasing responsiveness & taking action, including time distortion, anchoring, creative language patterns, & future pacing. Dave decided to work on the toughest process challenges he could find, rather than on reducing some of his minor (though) distracting bad habits. Which, he's reported, have gotten much better with practice, since the seminar! That suits Dave well, given where he was at in his own development, at the time of the training. Dave has since given several live mind-development seminars since December 2004. This course was great preparation! Here's what Dave said about our seminar: "Of the 10+ trainers I've trained with and met, (Note, this includes Richard Bandler & John Grinder both) none have been close to his [Jonathan's] 24/7 devotion to students (especially the 'difficult' ones). For example, 90% of the time he offers bonus lessons over meals and often late into the night. "His understanding of NLP is as deep as that of any trainer outside the original Santa Cruz study group. But more importantly, it's his ability to package and deliver that knowledge so that his students use it... that makes him one of the best trainers ever." "This incredible ability is what Jonathan aims to teach in the Speaking Ingeniously seminar. I'll let others speak for previous HC events but I can tell you that this time he hit a perfect bulls-eye." "And it was a blast! I don't remember having so much fun in an NLP training. This group was a wonderful mix of personalities." "I often go into a seminar with different outcomes from the other students and Jonathan allowed us the flexibility so I could focus on what I wanted out of it. I've got more out of this seminar than all but 2 of the other 19 I've done."

	"Jonathan is a superb trainer with a deep understanding of his subject. His work developing the skills of my team has continued to add value over time." - Robert Bradford, Author & CEO, Center for Simplified Strategic Planning
	"No matter where you perceive your skill level, there is always more. Jonathan not only cuts diamonds, he polishes them, and adds more facets." - Bob Dillon, Professional Seminar Leader, VT
	"This course is the best integration & application of NLP techniques I have ever experienced. Jonathan is masterful in his ability to help you with your unique speaking & presenting problems. He essentially creates a custom "model" for each participant's presentation success based on your needs, style & goals. " Lyndell E. Carey, Dynamic Mind, Financial Advisor, Coach/Facilitator, Pt. Charlotte, FL
	"With considerable experience giving keynotes, I thought I was very good on stage. The new skills & confidence that Jonathan has guided into my mind make my previous level of professionalism pale and insignificant by comparison. This class is the best preparation for public speaking that I have ever seen, heard of, or experienced." - Michael Lovas, About People, Consultant, Author, & Speaker, Spokane WA
	"I very much enjoyed your seminar. Having more comfort when I talk with people makes the rapport deeper. Even though my demo is only 90 seconds, I hold longer eye contact with more potential customers, building a sense of connection. Result? Sales of my juicer product increased 30%." - Jason Knierum, Entrepreneur, Sydney Australia
	"After taking this course in May '05, my monthly income literally doubled! That made the course an extreme bargain. I only wish I'd known about it before I started speaking in public for money. Jonathan recorded all my speeches, and then gave me a DVD at the end of the course. That DVD was the ultimate convincer that my time and money was well spent." - Paul Bielby, Cruise Ship Art Auctioneer, Kingston, Ontario.
	"Whether you want to hone your communication skills or overcome a paralyzing fear of speaking in public, this seminar will do that and so much more. These impactful days have changed me for the better." - Chris Fiala, Marketing Consultant, Clearwater, FL
	"Jonathan Altfeld is a highly skilled communicator and trainer whom it is an absolute pleasure to watch at work. He cultivates a learning environment which nurtures and develops the skills and abilities of everyone within the group, and created epic transformations." - Jenny Waller, Life Coach, Coaching With Jen, Cheshire, UK
	"The massive growth every attendee experienced in our speaking skills would be hard to believe if we didn't have the DVD evidence! The way Jonathan trains means that everyone, regardless of their current skill level, gets massive benefits from his courses. He has mastered the impossible art of training different skill levels concurrently, and it's the most effortless and powerful learning I've experienced. You won't find the majority of this material anywhere else." - Andy Preston, Sales Trainer, Outstanding Results, Manchester UK

      People don't make great decisions in bad states. They only make great decisions in great states.

      As speakers, as persuaders-from-the-stage, we often aim to cause people to make positive, great decisions. We want to share a message, and hope people think through that message, adopt it, learn from it, and take action accordingly.

      And our audiences will NEVER respond to our messages if they remain in emotional states like neutral, disinterested, distracted, busy, annoyed, worried, incongruent, confused, or worse. It'd be like talking to a wall.

      When speakers focus primarily on making sure their content is "perfect," and spend no time or effort learning to improve their PROCESS, to increase their emotional influence skills... then they're leaving audience response completely up to chance. Why gamble?

      Unfortunately most speakers courses train people to work on their CONTENT. Their focus is mostly on the WHAT. Since most people make decisions almost completely emotionally, doesn't "too much focus on content" strike you as a much less-useful approach to speaker training, than learning emotional influence skills?

      People use EMOTION to make their decisions... then they use your CONTENT... to justify the decisions they already feel are right for them. Re-read that! Emotion is the FIRST and most important doorway in influence.

      And the MOST EFFECTIVE, and EASIEST TO LEARN method for emotional influence from the stage... is "Emotional-State-Chaining. Mega-Speakers like "Anthony Robbins" and "Zig Ziglar" and others have learned how to use state-chaining very powerfully. But if you don't know how to unpack their process, you'll never learn how they do what they do... or why Zig is one of the fastest state-chainers to study, or why Robbins is one of the slowest and most verbose state-chainers to study (still worth studying).

      To put it bluntly, any speaker that can't do state-chaining from the platform is failing to sufficiently motivate or influence their listeners. Any sales-person who can't do state-chaining for any group of prospects, is definitely leaving money on the table.

      HOWEVER... All is NOT LOST... because...

      At the core of this course there is a model for packaging information that is extremely influential to audiences. It's a one-sized fits-all model that can used equally well in a board room, a class room, a sales presentation, a political speech, a keynote address, you name it.

      In fact, you can use this "Emotional State-Chaining" model for presenting... to unpack/analyze every great presentation you've ever seen. (And in some cases, during this course, we WILL do that!).

      As educators and influencers, Speakers need to move people incrementally from whatever emotional states they begin listening from, into far better emotional states.

      People usually begin listening anywhere from curious and interested, or disinterested or neutral, or worse: busy, distracted, annoyed, irritated, worried, etc. I call these "Encounter states."

      But to move people to want to adopt our ideas, or consider taking some actions, or get excited about a topic, or even to buy a product or service, we need to elicit states of deep need, heightened desire, wanton motivation, fire-in-the-belly, brimming excitement, and more! When we successfully elicit these "Action states" in people, we can successfully and easily influence them -- for all the RIGHT reasons.

      So how do we do this? How do we move people from Encounter States to Action states, when most of them are unable to make the leap from one to the other, easily?! After all... most audience members aren't naturally automatically wired to...

• jump from irritated to "wanton need" in one hop!
• jump from distracted to "absolutely fascinated" in one step.
• slide rapidly from disinterested to "frothing-at-the-mouth-gotta-have-it", in just one paragraph!

      Thus, we need to figure out what emotions lend themselves to effective emotional transitions for listeners/audiences. Some emotions are more likely to get audiences "stuck" somewhere along our presentations. By contrast, "Hub States," like "spokes of a wheel" or "hub airports," can be led to easily from almost anywhere, and can then lead almost anywhere else. It's important for all influencers whether 1-on-1 or in speaking (and bodywork genius Moshe Feldenkrais knew this too, in the kinesthetic sense!) to use as many of our "emotional hubs" as possible.

      Finally, so much of NLP training is oriented towards teaching auditory- or visual-based influence skills. Unfortunately for most NLP students, the KINESTHETIC sensory modality seems not to be taught enough, or well enough. To solve this problem, we have to learn to become more elegant at strategically causing people to feel things, in a certain sequence, as a set of transitions. And, it turns out, when you take this "Kinesthetic" approach to influence and speaking, it actually becomes easier to remember your content AND your speaking strategy.

      State-chaining is a critical, essential NLP skill to master. The ability to move people from unresourceful states over to more resourceful states is something every NLP student needs to develop. And its something every speaker needs in their toolkit!

      All the more reason!!! What if I told you that in a matter of hours, I could tell a few stories... ask you to do some funny and odd things... after which, you wouldn't be able to be afraid any longer?

      If you really have no particular interest in speaking to groups, or teaching, or training, or selling to audiences, or influencing more than one person at a time, then probably this course wasn't for you to begin with.

      But what if... after I worked my "magic," you could or would actually enjoy the idea of speaking in front of groups... would you want to? Do you have a voice inside you begging to be released? Yet in the past you couldn't give that voice an audience, simply because of fear? If so, this course may be the best gift you could give yourself. It wouldn't take 5 days to get rid of that fear. It would take hours maximum, possibly even minutes, thanks to NLP -- and of course, thanks also to seemingly-effortless NLP-based methods of helping you to dance "around" your fear.

      Don't let your *past* vice-grip on your own fear hold you back from seemingly-magical methods of releasing that fear without ever having to "face it." Take advantage! Empower yourself! My course is a "risk-free investment, so why not stop denying yourself this FUN growth and development!?

      Speaking Ingeniously "Mornings" This course follows a specific format: During the morning session, we devote most of our time to "normal seminar style training." For me, this means Metaphor and storytelling, followed by small-group training exercises, followed by explanations and unpacking what took place for greater conscious knowledge. This is an accelerated form of training that transfers both conscious knowledge and unconscious skill (sometimes clunky at first, you'll find you can actually DEMO and DO these skills on request!).

      Speaking Ingeniously "Afternoons" During our afternoon sessions, we devote most of our time to your individual stage time, with personalized feedback. Each of your presentations will be recorded (for YOUR benefit, not ours), and at the end of the course, you'll receive a DVD with all of your presentations on it, back to back. And upon viewing your presentations quickly all at once, you'll find yourself absolutely enthralled with how much you'll have grown, from start to finish. We give total transformations! We help people to find rich voices inside, and emerge more confident and expressive!

      Fear of Public Speaking? There's a longer explanation in the Section right before this, one page up! In summary, though, the first sessions in Speaking Ingeniously are designed to comfortably eliminate that discomfort. Discomfort is only a neurological response to certain stimuli or concerns about things that might never occur. Using NLP, you'll learn how to literally wire around those old sensations, and move right into 'ready' states of mind. Furthermore we'll condition you gently and steadily over the course of the entire seminar, to attach massive confidence to walking in front of a group.

      Already a Confident Speaker? You'll learn how to package your communication more effectively to maximize audience retention, make your communication far more concise, and learn to use your stage to everyone's advantage. If you're not using your stage spatially in concert with your presentation, then you're missing huge opportunities for leading your audiences. Learn great platform training skills and add new dimensions to your work.

      Great Story-telling! I've spent years learning how to more effectively train great story-telling skills, and am highly adept at providing precise 1-on-1 feedback to help you improve your current story-telling skills, dramatically and easily! Your audience's attention won't ever wane again!

      Total Training Time? Officially, I promise 7 solid training hours a day minimum, with a meal break in the middle (I use a 9:30 am to 6:00pm training schedule). So that's 35 solid hours of training, minimum! Unofficially, it could be a lot more. I sometimes train further into the evenings (no extra charge), if students wish for that. Also, sometimes we'll bring lunch or dinner in and continue to work through the meal. When we do go out, I usually dine with students, offering more custom feedback and tidbits as desired through mealtimes.

      Exhausting or Empowering? you will probably sleep very well each night! People tend to sleep deeply during NLP-related workshops. However I will energize the group appropriately with music, brain-tuning exercises, and multi-media learning experiences. Expect an empowering week, not a draining one. Furthermore, as your skills accelerate, your motivation will naturally skyrocket. Think of how this has worked for you in other contexts; it applies here too!

      This will be an aggressively-paced course, with full ranges of emotional experience. Unless you can immerse yourself in your own depth of experience, you'll never be able to convey it powerfully to audiences! There will be amazing highs. Tons of laughter. Probably a few tears. There will be moments when I will find seeds of/for your most elegant, most central self... moments when you may regard such self-discoveries as sublime. There will probably be moments when most people probably wouldn't want to hear certain kinds of constructive (always constructive) feedback. But on the other side, you'll emerge as a far more powerful, confident, resourceful speaker and group leader.

      I wish more of you were able, now, to experience what I experience. It's really something.

      Join me & learn Speaking Ingeniously™. I promise you a learning and growth experience you will remember and use with joy and satisfaction for years to come.
