Recently, on social media, an NLP Practitioner asked a question about a client who reported having a phobia, and with whom he used the NLP Fast Phobia Cure, which may have partly worked, but it came back a few days later?

Recommended NLP Coaches & NLP Coaching Programs for Speakers
One-On-One:
Our trainer Jonathan Altfeld has several Inner Circle coaching clients that he sees in person on occasion or works with online, to improve their public speaking skills. About half are executives from managers up through CEO's who regularly have to give influential presentations. The other half are niche public speakers who do platform sales while training. Jonathan's targeted feedback has been highly valuable to these people, many of whom command high six & seven figure incomes.
When a speaker is leaving money on the table (in other words, not selling as much as they can/could to their highly qualified prospect audiences), Jonathan helps them close more sales, more easily, making his services not a liability or cost, but a really wise investment. When a presenter or speaker is working to earn $1000 a day instead of drawing $3500 for a 90-minute keynote, Jonathan's services can help them bring their "A-Game" out, thereby increasing a speaker's earning potential.
To discuss coaching services from Jonathan, complete our online feedback form or call 813-991-8888. You'll know very, very quickly just how smart a decision you'll have made -- typically within the first hour. For serious speakers, not hiring Jonathan would be a very costly mistake -- because whatever you're currently making as a speaker, you could always be earning substantially more. And coaching is a much faster route to learning NLP and putting it into practice, than group workshops will ever be.
Recommended NLP Seminars & NLP Training for Public Speaking & Presentation Skills
The first question you may be asking is, "Should I take an NLP Practitioner or NLP Master Practitioner training?" The answer is, 'if you can afford the time/money to attend such courses, definitely do it!' Longer NLP courses offer us a wonderful self-fulfilling developmental journey whose benefits are profound, dramatic, and long-lasting. But the following specific courses for learning NLP, are much more targeted "must-do" recommendations.
- Our Speaking Ingeniously™. This is the course every speaker reading this page should RUN, not walk, to sign up for. 15 students maximum accepted for each of these events, which is more like an intensive speaker's coaching program. We record your stagework sessions throughout the course on your own DVD, back to back, including targeted positive feedback before & after every presentation. Come read our student testimonials & review our video case studies!
- Our Irresistible Voice™ . This course is a must for anyone who uses their voice to communicate ideas, messages, and calls to action. You're either turning people on, or off, with your voice, and there isn't much middle ground. Grease the wheels of influence -- improve your voice. Get it done! Every single day with a whiny, tinny, gravelly, or annoying voice translates to lost opportunities, ignored messages, & restricted income!
- Our Silent Exchanges™ . If you've ever been mystified about nonverbal communication, perhaps missed signals, or misinterpreted gestures, you really need to get yourself to this course. Jonathan has learned how to train completely nonverbal conversational skills. You'll learn how to develop unique nonverbal lexicons with anyone you meet. This creates a magical and private connection with absolutely anyone.
- Our Becoming Outrageously Funny™ . If you want or need to be far funnier -- if you secretly wish YOU were the natural center of attention -- this is the course for you. NLP Trainer Jonathan Altfeld has used modeling to study how humor works -- and as a result, this course emerged. Come get trained in how to be outrageously funny! This course is unlike any "stand-up comedy" course -- we're not training people to do 5-minute stand-up routines. We're training people to find their naturally funniest personality inside!

I got the CD's, & I'm really doing well with them. The biggest thing I've noticed so far, is that some people who never let me get a word in are now giving me more room to talk. Another thing that I didn't expect is my dog is listening to me better. Evidently he likes the stretched out vowels too!
2002 - Kevin HillNorwich, UKBought Audio : Metaphor Machine CDs
The material is presented clearly and cleanly, the technique is deceptively simple. It seems easy to start using the technique to create useful metaphors immediately, with the exciting prospect that with practice and imagination the same technique is capable of delivering really masterful results. It is completely focused on this one technique, there is no waffle and no distraction from the desired outcome. Jonathan gives the unconscious mind a clear step by step process to understand and then works at embedding the learning unconsciously, and for me this seems to work brilliantly. It seems that when I use the step by step process (the conscious bit) the results at each step "just come to me" (the unconscious bit) and the end result just seems to work. ... Overall, I'm delighted with "The Metaphor Machine". I've got plenty of NLP stuff on my MP3 player that helps me access positive states but this material is sharply focused on one sophisticated and powerful techique and it delivers practical results immediately. By far the best example of NLP training on disc that I've come across so far.

As always I had a great weekend and experiential learning experience. Jonathan is a master at connecting NLP with real world skills and I learned plenty!

Hey, my name's Drew Kennedy, and I attended Jonathan Altfeld's NLP Sales Wizardry Program, NLP, and I didn't know what to expect. He said he was going to show a bunch of information; I've seen some trainers around the world; Jonathan blew me away. I can't stress it enough; the man was amazing. Too much information, really. 18 hours of craziness, and all kinds of stuff, it was the most amazing seminar in sales I've ever participated in. My expectations, again, they were high, because I had a lot of expectations meeting Jonathan and knowing what he was capable of, but guess what: I knew that he was going to be the man – and he blew me away. He underpromised and then he overdelivered. What suggestion would I give to other salespeople: Let him come unpack the power, people, that's all I can say to you. Just let him unpack the power. He was phenomenal. Whatever it takes for you to get here, move Heaven and Earth, and come see Jonathan; He will change your world, and unpack your power!
2011 - Tom MinterEntrepreneur, London, UKAttended Course : Speaking Ingeniously
Whether you are looking to improve your speaking or to gain more of a mastery over yourself, Speaking Ingeniously is a course that will grow and stretch you beyond what you previously thought possible. With each passing day you will be amazed and inspired as you feel your skill and confidence being educed from within. In my experience Jonathan's skills as an NLP trainer are second to none, and through his masterful and outstanding techniques you will be blown away with - and left open-mouthed - at your own potential. Thank you for the great five days, I really appreciate your time and commitment to us. It was also enjoyable and memorable to spend some great time on a personal level. No doubt we will have more chances again in the future...

Thanks for a wonderful & mind altering weekend - it was worth every single penny! [...] my brain just can't stop generating new ideas & solutions, identifying patterns, going through the huge pile of new information. [...] I still don't have a clue as to how you managed to get that much data into these few inches of my brain in such a short time!!! NLP seems to be much more effective & powerful than I ever dared to dream of.....
2000 - Michael S.NLP Master Prac & Success Coach, Portland, ORBought Audio : Automatic Yes CD-set
I have ordered Jonathan's programs before and had VERY high expectations for this program… as with his other programs, Jonathan, *yet again*, delivers not only through his insight into how the mind works, but through the exercises that put you into *immediate action*. I found myself, as I was listening, being able to notice how my own states link together and how I had gotten stuck in the past. I feel like Jonathan has handed me the keys to move beyond where I had been -- by noticing how to sequence your communication to get results. It's incredibly easy when you know how to do it. And Jonathan has the know-how and experience to be able to teach the topics that other trainers won't touch. Because if you're like me, you may have taken practitioner and master practitioner courses… maybe from VERY well known trainers… and have yet to see a trainer who directly approaches the topic of state-chaining. What puts "Creating the Automatic YES" and Jonathan's other audio programs ahead of the pack is that he gives you exercises to do throughout the program and he has the knowledge and experience so the skills will be ingrained not only your mind but in your body where they NEED to be to get results -- easily. I have found myself noticing which state people are in as I'm talking to them and where to take them to get outcomes easily. My own confidence as a coach has grown considerably in my ability to influence my own state in VERY useful directions through listening to this audio program… that alone was worth the cost of admission. If *you're interested* in another rigorous, intellectual NLP experience… BAD NEWS… But by doing the exercises Jonathan suggests (or was it demands?), you're in for a real treat by ordering this program! My highest recommendation - THANK YOU!!

As a certified hypnotherapist, I can tell you that I will use these techniques in all of my future hypnosis work, both with clients & on tape, as well as any inductions I record for free distribution. Jonathan demonstrated these techniques as he taught them, & each time, I had a high level of response to them. He is a very dynamic speaker, & forced me to really pay attention & understand the communication at all levels.
