The Master Practitioner Syllabus

What you learn at the Pegasus Master Practitioner Certification Training

‘NLP in the real world’

Practical: The Pegasus Master Practitioner Programme is carefully designed to emphasise the practical and pragmatic application of NLP in your everyday life personal and professional life.

Core Subjects: In this training, as in our Practitioner Certification Programme, we deal very thoroughly with a core of topics which we recognise will be applied most consistently and most widely after the training. We have avoided the temptation to include a long ‘shopping list’ of academic or esoteric topics since these would have appealed to those seeking knowledge rather than thorough, hands-on skills

Applications: This programme is designed to give special attention to applying advanced NLP in five key areas (1) personal development, (2) influencing others, (3) managing and leading others, (4) facilitating and training, (5) coaching/counselling.

Sleight of Mouth Patterns

Explore this huge range of advanced reframing patterns which can be used seamlessly in everyday conversation and with which you can assist a person in examining and altering limiting beliefs and values, resolving self esteem problems, and changing how they perceive and respond to difficulties and setbacks

Beliefs & Values

Identify beliefs and values through their linguistic structure, recognise the levels of belief, use spatial and verbal methods to resolve belief conflicts, apply belief utilisation and change patterns including advanced Re-imprinting. Recognise and deal with values' hierarchies, values conflicts, values' criteria. Work with motivation patterns through enhancing and changing values and beliefs.

Metaprogrammes

Recognise these out-of-awareness filters or pre-dispositions which influence a person's understanding, decision-making and actions. Learn how to recognise the principal Metaprogramme patterns and 'clusters' of patterns, the linguistic indicators of Metaprogrammes, how a person’s Metaprogrammes guide their choices and needs and how to use your awareness of Metaprogrammes to greatly enhance your ability to influence.

Modelling

Modelling is the thread which draws all the other elements together. In the course we apply behavioural modelling to (1) discover how and why a person does something (2) to assist them in enhancing their skill or replace it with a more effective one and (3) to develop a 'model' with which to pass the skill on to others.

Systems Modelling/Thinking and NLP

Systems Thinking of Systems Modelling is the study of how the parts of a system interact to produce useful or unuseful results. A ‘system’ can be an individual, relationship, team, or organisation. Systems Modelling is an important tool in anticipating how people will handle change and is particularly valuable in ensuring that immediate solutions to problems do not become the cause of more serious long-term problems. Integrating Systems Modelling with NLP provides a particularly potent tool for working with individuals, groups or teams.

Pattern Mapping

How to recognise or 'map' a person's habitual ways of thinking, responding and behaving so that you can recognise trends and predict likely outcomes. In Pattern Mapping we are paying attention to their patterns of internal and external behaviour rather than the individual behaviours.

Effective and enduring personal change

Adopt a systemic approach to personal change and coaching by addressing the involvement of beliefs, values, metaprogrammes, identity, current circumstances, past experiences, and expectations about the future. Systemic change is more effective and more enduring than behavioural change.

Influencing excellence

Integrate your use of both Practitioner and Master Practitioner approaches, and expecially the language models, to enhance your ability to influence in powerful and ecological manner.

Re-discover, extend and master your Practitioner skills and knowledge

Practitioner material integration: one of the major benefits of participating in a Master Practitioner is the opportunity to re-visit the Practitioner material, review it through applying it alongside more advanced material, bring it to the level of unconscious competence – and move beyond relying on techniques by learning to tailor your approach to suit the situation, individual or group.

Anchoring: Extend your skill by learning to use and recognise tonal, visual and spatial anchors in the main representational systems, and move beyond the techniques to consider the patterns involved in the 'anchoring phenomenon'.

Advanced Submodalities: Develop greater ease and flexibility in how you use these, personally and with other people. Develop your own submodality techniques. Use submodalities alongside other models.

Time line: Revisit the Practitioner Time Line methods, explore the main submodality configurations, use them seamlessly using spatial anchoring, and integrate Time Line work with other NLP methods.

NLP Techniques:  We will be examining how to use NLP techniques to enable people to make pervasive changes in their lives by supporting the behavioural change with change in the upper levels of the Personality Map – and you will have the opportunity of experiencing these processes during practical sessions at the course.

Strategies: Take this valuable area beyond the Practitioner basics. Recognise and elicit others' strategies, facilitate new strategy acquisition, and model key patterns such as how people decide, motivate, convince or reassure themselves, etc. The ability to use strategies is a key element in behavioural modelling.

The Language Models: revisit, refine and extend the Meta Model and Milton Models and integrate these with the other approaches to develop a more perceptive, receptive and influential style of communicating.

Logical Levels: Revisit the Personality Map and examine how the levels of Beliefs/Values and Identity operate and how to effect change at these levels.

‘Ecological’ interactions: Ensure your work is 'clean' by recognising the effect of your use of the different communicating patterns, developing awareness of the fine line between eliciting and installing, discovering how to operate powerful models of communication without violating a person's integrity.

A blueprint for your future

Having a compelling view of your own future is motivating and inspiring and is an important way of ensuring that short-term difficulties are kept in perspective. During the Master Practitioner Programme you will have the opportunity of progressively developing a vision for the future you want for yourself and, towards the end of the Programme, of designing a blueprint for this future and of recognising and dealing with out-dated beliefs, values, or self image issues that might sabotaging this vision. (This process can also be used in coaching and counselling to facilitate change in others.)
