Hi, I'm Mike Lalonde and, if you like me, enjoy learning and communicating effectively then you've come to the right place. You've probably already done a lot of homework and maybe even read a lot on what Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is and how it works and you are now looking for the right place to get your training.
NLP is sort of like describing your favourite food to someone who hasn't tasted it before. You can, in great detail, describe the texture, taste and feelings it elicits within yourself. They can even read tons of books about it, BUT until they actually experience it themselves, they won't actually KNOW it.
The more one learns about NLP, the more they realize what they don't know and the more effective they become with what they do know. A good analogy for NLP could be the movie 'The Matrix' or the story 'Alice in Wonderland'
Practitioners and master practitioners train in the same course in order to maximize the teaching, learning and practical components of the course material. Master Practitioners will naturally be learning at a different level than practitioners and will be able to utilize the skills they learn as they learn them in a safe and experimental environment.
Students of this course will receive effective instruction of NLP and gain a VERY real working knowledge of how to use NLP to effect the positive changes in your life and the people around you. This is my personal guarantee to you.
