Neuro-Linguistic Programming Mastery: From Foundations to Breakthroughs

Anyone who wants to gain the skills in running their own work, their own mind and their own life will benefit for themselves, just as much.

In this basic course, Dr. Jacobson will introduce you to this stunning field and allow you to develop real skills to help you in every area of your life. Come with specific challenges or goals you are working on and you’ll have the opportunity to directly apply what you learn in an immediately and personally useful way.

Any professional who relies on effective communication, real problem solving skills, and organization and change skills will benefit from this course–invaluable for just about anyone involved in the helping professions, education and training, medicine or business. This is also likely the most important and valuable course any helping professional can attend.

Dr. Jacobson has been offering training programs like this all over the world for over 45 years. Come join us and benefit from his vast knowledge, skill and experience.

Here’s a tiny bit of my story. When I went to grad school (the first time, MSW) I’d already had two years working in psychiatric hospitals with all kinds of people, and side-by-side with all kinds of clinicians, as well. Grad school included a year working in a mental health center (in the French Quarter in New Orleans, if you can imagine that …) and a year of doing groups and research in one of the two toughest county jails in the country. And I was at the top of my class. Tough and challenging as those places were, and as much as I learned, I also knew I didn’t know enough to be as good as I wanted to be at doing the work of actually helping people.

So I enrolled in outside professional training immediately. About three or four full days a month for over a year. And I went back to the library. I read over a hundred books on therapy that first year out of school. Entire shelves of a major university library. The next year? Same. I wanted to be the best. While I was doing it, I was only working part-time, so I had to live on a lot of tuna helper and peanut butter, too. But it made a difference. By the third year I was training others. A few years later, I was traveling the world doing training of all kinds. Clinical. Corporate. Educational. Coaching. Writing books (6 so far). Still studying. Still learning. Still working on skills. Still developing in collaboration with others. Even today.

Now, I won’t suggest that anyone take the path I took. Frankly, I’m not sure it’s necessary to do all that anymore. What I do know is that–if you’re serious about being good at helping people–you need to take your learning and your skills practice seriously. And of course now you can get access to people and methods that allow you to do it from anywhere in the world, along with other like-minded people.

No matter what kind of work you do, I know you're dedicated to doing it really well, or you wouldn't have read even this far. And, it doesn't matter what that work is, this program will help you do it much better. This is about how people work, and how you can work with them, in just about any setting. It's about problems, and how to solve them. It's about achievement. It's about development. It's about being the best of who you can be, and understanding yourself to continue improving, so that the best becomes even better.

Neuro-Linguistic programming: The study of the structure of subjective experience. That means it’s a field of study (not a technique, brand name, theory, therapy method, passing fad, or anything else). What we study in NLP is how people learn, think, communicate and make changes.

Neuro: the workings of the human brain

Linguistic: verbal and non-verbal communication

Programming: patterns in thinking and behaving

Through the study of highly successful people, we in NLP have discovered common patterns that exist in effectiveness. We have isolated, refined, and taught these same patterns to many other people wanting that same effectiveness the “experts” have. NLP training provides the real nuts and bolts of human functioning and communication necessary to achieve success in any field where people must perform or work with one another.

NLP is full of practical applications, aimed at everyday situations, needed by everyone. It can be learned by anyone, regardless of technical training or academic background. Over the past twenty-five years Neuro-Linguistic Programming has helped many thousands of people become more effective in both their professional and personal lives. These people have learned to communicate better, perform more effectively, and live much more full and rewarding lives with the changes NLP has brought to them. This technology has proven itself in psychotherapy, business and organizational development at all levels, education and training of all kinds, and even including, medicine and dentistry.
