The Art and Science of Influence

top Overview

NLP or Neuro-Linguistic Programming is being heard in business corridors more and more often.

What is it? 

How does it benefit business people? 

Why is it that many organisations in UK, Europe and USA now require their managers to have an understanding of NLP?


Well, the short answer is another question:  How do you get on with everybody, and get the most out of your team or people situations? 

It starts with recognising the fundamental truism that we're not all the same.  This affects our responses to a situation and the language we use.
The key to harnessing the potential in a situation is to recognise how people think, then develop techniques to communicate effectively in their "mode".  Then we can build appropriate strategies for dealing effectively with interpersonal situations.

top Topics Covered

The workshop introduces the concepts of NLP and shows how we can use these strategies in business in these ways:
• Establish rapport instantly
• Read verbal and non-verbal communication and respond appropriately
• Improve your persuasion, selling and negotiation skills
• Manage your own resourcefulness
• Clarify, manage and achieve outcomes
• Deal with difficult situations
• Deal with conflict (if it still occurs!)
 The workshop enables participants to try out a range of strategies, then they can choose what tools they want to put to use.

top Who should attend

 Anyone involved in dealing with other people, especially:
• Managers
• Team leaders

top Outcomes

Introducing NLP into your business will enable you to work and communicate much more effectively.  It will help you help others to achieve their outcomes.  And it makes achieving those outcomes for them and you much easier.

One of the benefits of this programme is that it provides useful strategies which can be applied instantly in our work and personal lives.  Enhanced workplace harmony, better customer service, and improved family and personal relationships are all potential outcomes from this workshop.

topWhat Participants Say

"With a name like ‘Neuro-Linguistic Programming’ you may expect this course to be heavy on theory; nothing could be further from the truth. Nick Read demonstrates the important techniques artfully, and the cause-effect relationship can be easily seen and felt, on both the conscious and unconscious level. The relevance to both business and social situations is readily apparent."
