What people have written about our Practitioner (Part 2) Programme

Concrete Results

What amazed me about studying NLP at Pegasus were the concrete results that I got. If you have a tendency to over-theorize as I do (did) then this comes as a bit of a shock. The constant emphasis on practical exercises means that you cant help but internalise the material. Coming fresh off of the Practitioner’s course I have found that I talk differently, relate differently and go about my business in a radically new and effective way.

As a material bonus, on the purely financial side of things I found my workload and consequently my income quadrupled within 2 weeks of leaving the Part 2 course because I resolved  2 core beliefs that I held about (a) not being good enough and (b) fear of success. Add to that a new understanding about habitual patterns of behaviour and techniques that allow you to take charge of these patterns and re-imprint them and you have got a selection of powerful new states to move forward with.

And did I mention the fun I had?, Yes, alcohol was consumed, embarrassing things were done but somewhere in there I also lost my fear of heights and met some lovely people, many of whom have become good, supportive and inspiring friends.

I’m doing the Master’s course now and find this just as fascinating and revolutionary as Core Skills and Practitioner Part 2, you just keep going deeper in. The training courses that I run for a living are improving massively as I develop new skills for relating with individual course participants, changing my style of delivery to match people’s preferred learning systems.

I know people who have studied NLP with some very famous names and they are envious of the level of competence and personal development  that the course provides. It’s an intense roller coaster ride of discovery but also the most fun you can have that's legal!

A real mind opener

Excellent and a memorable experience with so many practical applications back at work both for others and myself. A real mind opener and a workshop that continues to make you think long after you have left.

Huge amount covered

Very useful and applicable. Although such a huge amount covered it was done in an effective and manageable way.

Three months on...

Where do I start...Now it's July (three months after the course ended) and I find a hell of a lot of the skills exude from my behaviour and thinking in life. I find it difficult to highlight one area - the focus it has given me on what is important in life is possibly the best answer I can provide.

Great group

Fabulous - could not have come at a better time in my life. The group had a special quality about it. Perhaps every group experiences this ...?

Greatly enhanced my work

Learnt loads, enjoyed the mix of fairly short information sessions, discussions and loads of practise. Interesting to work with and learn from such a diverse, enthusiastic mix of people. The whole thing was such fun and absolutely fascinating.

The course moved me on from (on the Core Skills) having the possibility of an idea to being certain of what I want to do next, having a plan for it and making a start on the first stage.

Has already greatly enhanced the work I do with young people and my own clients. One of my telephone clients said last week that I'd 'given her her life back'. Have already recommended the course to at least a dozen people. Excellent and a wonderful setting.

Variety of training styles

I appreciated the variety of training styles and strategies for group interaction. I found the sensory acuity "activities" interesting as they are very similar to the work I lead on the 'creativity courses' and it was interesting to see the same tasks use in a different setting.

I was interested in the styles used by the presenters to "manage" questions and interruptions. The variety of learning that took place without being aware of it.

More empowering than I have words to express

1. Realisation that I alone am responsible for my state has enabled me to manage it much more successfully than I ever have before. I am far more aware of my changing state now and able to lift myself out of an unproductive states with relative ease.

2. The understanding of how different each person's map truly is - not just an intellectual awareness (which I believe most people have if they think about it) but something deeper that I am actually able to understand and therefore work with.

3. The realisation and acceptance that I place my own interpretation on everything around me without realising it. Again this is something far deeper than a belief, which is what I had before - this is a knowledge and understanding of what it means, the effect it has, how I can choose to go with it or not ...

4. I've been able to evaluate a number of my relationships and understand why some are more successful than others. I can now consciously decide whether I want to do something about improving the weaker ones or not. I now have a choice and am not just on the receiving end of a situation I accept no responsibility for...

... I could go on for a long time - this new knowledge and understanding is more empowering than I have words to express.

More flexible in my approach

(In considering what was most useful in the course) I find it difficult to isolate some aspects ahead of the others. If I have to make a choice, I would select:

The Meta Model and the Milton Model - the use of language by others and myself seems to be a lot clearer now.

Flexibility - I have found that, in the last month, I am able to recognise when to be flexible (whereas it would not have occurred to me previously). I am also able to be more flexible in my approach. I have noticed that this has tended to make me more creative in everything.

Very fulfilling and thoroughly enjoyable

I thought I’d learned a lot on Core Skills – it’s not until you do Practitioner Part 2 that you realise how much more there is to know … and I’m sure the same will be true if I progress to the Master Practitioner programme. 

I enjoyed Part 2 even more than Core Skills because so many of the elements of NLP started to coalesce and potential uses for the skills become much clearer.  The use of a second trainer stretches the students and provides a slightly different perspective on some aspects of the course which is beneficial. 

The fact that the course is split into two separate weeks is excellent. The course is very intense and intellectually tiring (even though it is great fun) and two consecutive weeks would be too much. 

Additionally you cover the bulk of the syllabus in the first week and it has time to sink in before the second week when you get many different opportunities to practise with the different skills. 

As on Core Skills, the friendships you form are very strong, and the group support is a great help. 

Altogether an amazing experience – very fulfilling and thoroughly enjoyable.  We were all sad when it came to an end!
