Please tell us what a Neuro Linguistic Programming practionner is

We all have limiting beliefs, we can all procrastinate at times, we all have fear and we all experience anxiety. If we can reframe these things, through working with our mind, we can overcome these patterns and build new healthier ones that serve us better. NLP is all about doing the work within our mind to make change happen. 


Where does NLP come from?

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a communication and interpersonal skills training model developed in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder. NLP has become fairly well known around the world.


What does NLP practitioner look like? 

NLP involves many different tools and techniques that help us reframe the way we see and feel about the world, that help us model and remodel our behaviour, language, strategies and beliefs and that helps us anchor ourselves and allows us to face our fears more easily. 


How long does NLP take to work, what does NLP work for and who is NLP for?

NLP can work very effectively over the short term, perhaps only 2 or 3 sessions, or for bigger issues on a more case by case basis. NLP can work really well to help people manage stress and anxiety, to help them challenge limiting beliefs and to tackle phobias and fears. NLP can be quite effective in helping clear old emotions and old patterns of behaviour that no longer serve us. 


Anyone who has a desire to change their worldview and how they relate to others can use neuro-linguistic programming to make changes in their life. 


What got you motivated to join the course?

I embarked on the course to increase my leadership, communication, relationship and coaching skills. In turn, these can lead to achieving what I want and having a significantly more successful and fulfilled life.


Also to have more tools and skill to help out people who are in need in Seychelles as she describes her own personal experience?


What is your personal experience with NLP

NLP helped me face some of my fears, such as flying, the techniques implemented helped me to understand how I could break through the fear barrier. I have many certificates- Diplomas, Degrees and Masters, but none of them give me that sense of accomplishment and achievement as completing my course and training in NLP with the NLP World. I am proud to say that I am now a certified NLP Practitioner! It has been one of most rewarding courses and training that I have ever undertaken.Not only do I have more tools to help my clients to achieve their goals but I find that the course has transformed me on both a personal and professional level. For example, it has helped me face some of my fears, such as flying, while the techniques implemented have helped me to understand how I might break through the fear barrier and limiting beliefs.


I am looking forward to empowering more people utilizing NLP techniques to facilitate lasting and transformative change.
