Announcing: a New Paradigm for NLP Business Training.
Most NLP Courses are too grounded in changework, unsuitable for the Fast-Paced Real-Time Dynamic World of Business.
We've Removed content better suited to therapy, and Developed our Training to Integrate NLP into everyday Business contexts.
Dear NLP enthusiast,
If you live in the UK or Australia, you've got ample opportunities to learn how to use NLP in a range of business situations.
If you live in the States... there's precious little available in the way of deep NLP business skills.
In the UK & Australia, putting NLP on your business card is an honorable and valuable act. In the USA, you still have to be careful about letting the world know you're NLP-trained. It ought to be something that inspires honor, integrity, clarity, optimism, and a sense of highly increased value, BUT... that's not as obvious here. Perhaps the lack of amazing reputation in NLP business settings in the USA is because too many people here use or have used techniques badly over the years, because of a variety of problems.
Here's why NLP isn't used well in Business in the USA:
- POLLUTION and NO IMMERSION: The field is now saturated with shorty-shorty-certification courses taught by mostly poor-quality trainers who kept shortening their courses in order to compete for seats from more established trainers, and they give certificates with the same titles on them as longer courses, and even worse -- there are now ample online courses with zero feedback loops between trainer and student. NLP is truly a full-body sport -- and you CANNOT learn to use NLP effectively this way. Demand 10 days minimum.
- TOO OVERGENERALIZED: Most certification courses are so 'general' they're meant to be a one-size fits all course for people interested in therapy, hypnosis, flirting, business, and more. The end result? They're not optimized for ANY of those contexts or results. So if you're in business, and you want to use NLP skills in business, there hasn't been much for you (in the states)... until now. Demand a course customized for the contexts where you'll need to use the skills.
- STUDENT GROUP SIZE: Some courses have too many students in the room, and as a result, you get zero personal attention from the trainer(s) themselves. If you want elegant skills, you need personal attention. Don't settle for little to none. We say demand 20 students maximum.
- WACKY ESOTERIC B.S.: Lots of NLP courses emphasis the hypnosis or hypnotic material in NLP, or are full of so much esoteric garbage, that anyone grounded in a corporate environment will find little or no relevant use for the skills they acquire there. If you're in business, if you have a professional position or job or run a company, you need to learn skills that will come across naturally to other professional business people. Demand that your trainer have extensive experience in business settings.
- BLINDED BY MOTIVATIONAL HYPE: Good luck getting serious business applications of NLP from watered down motivational material from the most visible speakers on the planet. To reach their fame, they've so oversimplified the techniques they teach to fit the masses... that they've removed most of the effectiveness. Deep effectiveness comes from being trained how to artfully apply nuances. Also, they're not in it for your depth of skill, they're in it for their depth of wallet. Demand to pay a lot less money than $10K for a motivational trip to a Pacific island, for a lot more skill.
Whatever the reason, the USA is full of people who, frankly, suck at NLP -- and as a result, the reputation of NLP in the USA is not as amazing as it is in the UK and Australia. I can tell you this because I have trained in all these places over the last 19 years. That's not to say that impoverished training can't be found there too, just that there are now a higher percentage of high quality training opportunities overseas than you can find in the USA.
So where does that leave people in the USA who know they want to get exceedingly good at using NLP with confidence in their careers? The answer, until now, was... Nowhere.
Fortunately for your own future growth and development, I've decided to change that.
Despite the Above Challenges, NLP does Occasionally Get Great Press...

Our Trainer: Jonathan Altfeld
Jonathan Altfeld has been training NLP globally since 1997, after another highly successful career as an Artificial Intelligence consultant to Fortune 500 companies.

Our NLP Business Practitioner Course Content & Structure
Course Content
Jonathan's Innovative NLP Business Skills (Techniques you can't find anywhere else).
| Course StructureThis course content is grouped into roughly three modules totalling 10 days of training. The course is offered in both an "Intensive/All-at-once" Format, as well as a "Modular" Format, over 3 long weekends (typically one module per month). Our goal is not simply to deliver information, but to coax, coach, and shape you into acquiring and demonstrating a profoundly valuable set of skills, tools, and knowledge, that will help you establish new and useful patterns, enrich your life measurably, and enable you to become more valuable to and for other people in all of your future business endeavors.
The time you spend in our classroom will not be spent selling you on a next course, or ignoring questions, or withholding valuable feedback. We know that providing you one of the world's best NLP training courses available anywhere... turns you into a walking advertisement for the quality of what we offer. Come join us... and get really good at NLP for business use. We've done the heavy lifting! We know what works a charm in the business world, by contrast to what gets mixed responses or is inconsistent, or what falls flat and fails to get a result, or worse -- gets people in trouble for the wrong reasons. Come gain from our extensive experience distilling the most relevant material in NLP for business, and our extensive experience in the art of training -- which we see as mentoring students through a holistic learning process. Field TripsWe'll do multiple Field Trips during this course so that you'll have the opportunity to take these skills out into 'the real world,' and get performance feedback from Jonathan based on how you interact with people outside of the course. Note: these are not casual trips for hours on end. They are timed windows, with trainer supervision, and with specific assignments intended to be carried out in contexts other than the seminar space.

- Eric JohnsonMortgage Broker and Financial Coach, Bradenton, FLBought Audio : Metaphor Machine CDs
I've always known, as most all of you here have, that the most influential and powerful communicators relay messages on deep levels and that the power of metaphor is of paramount importance. Jonathan's treatment of the subject on the Metaphor Machine CD-set is really quite impressive. The distinctions he makes between 'isomorphic' and 'homomorphic' metaphors is really critical to development of skills in this area. Of course the 'homomorphic' metaphor structure is the one for the serious student, and Jonathan does a tremendous job of 'unpacking,' as he likes to say, the structure of an effective metaphor and laying out the formula for easy re-creation. In sum, this set is one that provides extreme traction and momentum in developing this critical skill set.

2002 - Steven KenyonTrainer, Network Consultant, Manteca, CABought Audio : Finding Your Irresistible Voice
I'm a technical trainer who frequently teaches MCSE bootcamps. What that means is I take a group of 10 to 20 people and cram 6 months of learning into 1 or 2 weeks. This is an exercise for me as an instructor since it is 12 hour days, but with only 14 days to pass 7 tests, it's grueling for my students. Before I listened to your CD's, there were times when it seemed like no matter how much the students wanted to learn, they could only absorb so much in a day. About 8 hours into the second day most of my students would start to gaze over completely and frequent breaks were needed. Too frequent in my opinion (sometimes it's hard to get them to come back in and get going). With the proper use of your Dual Tone Voice & Modulation techniques, I found that my students could be completely captivated, even late into the last day! This program should be mandatory listening for teachers and trainers in any industry. Thank you for such an awesome program!
2003 - Michael VanderDonkNLP Trainer & Business Consultant, TOACH, Sydney, AustraliaPersonal :
Michael Vanderdonk here. I'm an NLP trainer licensed by NLPTRB in Australia, trained primarily by Chris & Jules Collingwood and John Grinder, with a wide range of other trainer experiences as well. I also assist at Inspiritive's NLP trainings. Some years ago, I used to be a very highly paid IT consultant, and now I'm using and training NLP and hypnosis in corporate Australia. I've seen some of the best, I've seen incredibly poor training, and I've also seen a wide range in between. I'd like to take a moment and share with you why US-based NLP trainer Jonathan Altfeld is one of my favorite trainers by far, not to mention why he's highly regarded by some of the best and most experienced trainers around the globe. My interest in Jonathan's work after having attended most of his courses in Australia led me to travel all the way to the UK to attend one of his seminars in particular. Jonathan's trained primarily by Richard Bandler, through the Society of NLP. He started training in '97, has trained all over North America and regularly trains in the UK and Australia. Unlike some who've trained with Richard Bandler, Jonathan seems to be able to navagate his way between the different NLP "camps". Jonathan even sports a gracious review from Chris & Jules Collingwood (John Grinder's favorite trainers!), and James Tsakalos in Melbourne. These high quality reviews aren't any surprise to me. When I first met him, over 6 years ago now, was struck immediately with his effort and care that he gave to his students that was far beyond the call of duty. I was surprised he joined and and even encouraged his students to continue on after the seminar, taking the new skills learnt in the classroom and applying them out in the real world. Jonathan, socially, is amazingly memorable. I remember one evening dinner with a small group from the course, and after a small demonstration with our waitress, every other waitress and waiter, and even a chef, came to our table to find out what was happening. Then there was the time he had the bar staff in stitches of laughter, so captivated they ignored the other waiting patrons (which is usually when Jonathan says "go help your customers")! While he does use several tricks to get these results, he's happy to teach these -- and usually does. His ability to communicate powerfully at different levels at the same time is what guarantees his results. His personality is magnetic, and the way he teaches quickly and easily transfers the skills. There was this time in Melbourne where once again I join him for a drink after the event. He's not even been in the country 48 hours, and the barman yells "Jonathan!" as he enters. His communication is memorable, even to those people who only meet him for a few minutes. I immensely enjoy Jonathan's work - If I didn't I would not be writing this, and I would not have attended most of his events in Australia. Nor would I have traveled around the world in May 2004 to see him and a fabulous hypnosis trainer Doug O'Brien co-train together in London. I've attended his NLP Skills-Builders course (an intro course). I've attended his Linguistic Wizardry course twice (language patterns). I've attended Knowledge Engineering (modeling & belief systems). I've attended his Belief Craft course with Doug O'Brien (combining Modeling Belief Systems with Sleight-of-Mouth). He is an outstanding trainer, able to lead a room mixed with 'beginners' and seasoned NLP trainers to a common goal - His village council exercise in Linguistic Wizardry in particular is a great example of this. If you want to train with the absolute best, start interviewing lots of NLP Practitioners, Master Practitioners, and trainers -- and find out who they think continues to be worth training with. There aren't many, but they are out there. And Jonathan is one of those few!

In this program, Jonathan teaches how to elicit and influence emotional states in elegant and natural ways. Although the program focuses on one-on-one communication, all of the skills and knowledge taught can be applied to product demonstrations and group presentations as well. In the Sample Track from CD 1, Jonathan says: "Lead your audience to an Action State in a way that aligns with their values and beliefs." That sums up what you will get from the program: the ability to elicit and influence emotional states in your audience. You will learn how to lead someone from an Encounter State to an Action State through the chaining of smaller state changes in between. This is a skill that will set you apart from other presenters. Thinking about how your audience will feel will most certainly help you add great stories, and sequence them for maximum impact. For me, this program is a keeper! I recommend it to any product demonstrator as a secret weapon. Armed with it, you will be able to elicit and change the emotional states of your audience with elegance. I consider this the main ingredient that will lead to truly memorable demos.

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.

Hope you and yours are doing well. I just wanted to share this recent compliment I received about my voice from a young lady I just met. "I also think you have a very nice voice. I would like to hear it some more." This of course led to us exchanging numbers and a potential relationship. So, with that said, when is "Irresistible Voice 2" coming out!? Thanks again for making a product that exceeds expectations.
