NLP Corporate Programs

NLP Corporate Programs are highly effective, practical and relevant.

The NLP Corporate Programs covered here are designed to be immediately effective and practical.

This forms part of the satisfaction and laser edged focus that this modality brings to the corporate world, which has long suffered from an over the top academic approach.

It is not uncommon to actually hear the audible 'sigh of relief' from participants when they realise they are actually going to learn something useful, and enjoyable, and not be subjected to yet another time wasting jargon soaked Power Point jockey.

These NLP Corporate programs are designed to be flexible and adaptable enough to fit the real people in the room at the time.

If your programs are always the same with the 'on cue' timing and content delivery so typical of corporate life you will always be missing the group to a degree.

For us, at the end of the day, the most common statement we hear is 'Wow, is that the time already? It went so fast.'

There are more principles at play with these trainings than just NLP. These will be provided in other parts of this site.

For now, here is an overview of the types of NLP Corporate programs we offer:

Executive Coaching

This usually entails a series of one-on-one meetings with the specific client to set up a unique plan that will best serve them in their ongoing corporate career. In addition to the directions and resources they need for their corporate development great attention is placed on balance in life. The latest research regarding Emotional Intelligence deems this to be critical.

An added component here is attention to the dynamics of both stress management and elite performance. I have worked with many elite athletes at world class levels and bring those insights into this program. It is of great benefit in the corporate domain and transfers very readily.

When the pressure is really on, and the stakes are massively high (sounds like the business climate today), an executive can't afford to have their 'bad' or 'mediocre' day version turn up. They need to be super switched on the whole time.

This NLP Corporate program provides the skills to enable this.

The ‘How’ of Emotional Intelligence

This means just what it says.

There is much said about Emotional Intelligence these days but very little insight into how to actually improve your skill within this area. This is probably what we specialize in the most. There are very practical and easy skills that can be learned to enable a person to control their state of mind and levels of performance. The intention with this program is to also tune this to each individual involved rather than a ‘one size fits all’ approach. I have many years experience in teaching these skills quickly and effectively.

A critical side benefit here is the improved capacity of the participants’ ability to adapt to change and stressful situations. A particularly relevant skill at the moment.

NLP Corporate programs almost stand alone with their capacity to transfer real skill quickly.

Financial Services

This NLP Corporate program deserves its own special category. It deals most uniquely with people's fears and needs. The stakes are too high to get this wrong.

An essential component covered here is not just how to communicate well with the client but, more importantly, how to understand them.

You might meet their physical financial needs perfectly but if it doesn't resonate deeply within them you haven't necessarily improved their quality of life.

Presentation Skills

This is a fairly comprehensive program that looks at design techniques, stage craft, learning strategies, personalities and learning and much more. Many of the techniques taught aren't known outside of the NLP Trainers world.

Strategic Influencing Patterns

These include extraordinarily effective language patterns, born out of hypnotic communication strategies, as well as cultural insights as to what really works in an English speaking society. There are many insights to be gained as to how to adapt your style based on the type of client and the phase of the relationship.

This NLP Corporate program can get as sophisticated as you like – a Barrister would kill for these skills – to basic relationship building, up-selling and cross-selling skills for call centres.

Coaching Skills

As opposed to the above mentioned Executive Coaching, this program is more about teaching your managers advanced coaching skills for their own staff management.

This tends to be a balance between group training sessions and one on one mentoring as they interact with their own staff. As with all our NLP Corporate programs there is a reasonable emphasis on personalizing these skills for each individual. I am not a fan of the rigid formula / technique approach to management, particularly in the chaotic times we are living in.

I am much more interested in helping others learn how to apply themselves creatively and adapt to changing circumstances.

Public Speaking

When the time comes this is a ‘make or break’ situation. There are certain processes that are easy to learn that make these moments seem natural, relaxed and impactful. Charisma actually is a skill that anyone can learn and tailor to effect. This is tuned to both the personalities involved and the demands of the situation.

Along with this there are many skills to learn from a design and a profiling perspective. It isn’t just what you are saying but who are you saying it too and for what purpose. In other words, a skilled public speaker would never deliver the same content twice in the same way. There will always be some nuances and some adjustments – usually in the moment of presenting. This is true skill.

Too many presenters and public speakers are mere extensions of their Power Point displays.

Use these NLP Corporate skills to magnetize your audience.

Sales

Again, this program draws a lot from the insights that come from hypnotic communication strategies. It is still important to understand the basic anatomy of a sale from ascertaining needs, discerning features from benefits and having a repertoire of closing patterns.

Of a far higher order though is learning how to dynamically profile your prospect so you know exactly how to present your content. This comes down to knowing exactly what hand gesture to use with exactly what phrase and tone of voice. These NLP Corporate skills are very subtle and highly sophisticated.

The emotional psychology of the selling process is also covered.

We specialize in them and they extend way beyond the sales arena.

Stress Management

This has become one our most important and sought after NLP Corporate programs.

The insurance costs from this one aspect alone are enormous and, in some cases, crippling.

We teach internal mental strategies as well as subtle physical exercises to control stress. These can be maintained throughout the day, even in real time working circumstances, from the CEO to the staff on the desk in the lobby.

Your staff will be as fresh at the end of the day as at the beginning.

Interestingly, when there is 'free' time in our other NLP Corporate programs and the participants are asked what they would like to do these Stress Management skills are the most requested.

Many of these techniques were developed while working with athletes at the Olympic and World Championship level and as such lend themselves to elite performance strategies.

Leadership

It is important to understand the styles of leadership that are available and where they best fit. Some personalities are more aligned with a style of leadership than others. It is my intention with this course to provide participants with a way to create the appropriate leadership style that works best for a given situation rather than pull from a pre-existing teledex.

When do you empower your people, when do you provide visionary leadership, when do you withdraw, how do you change under stressful situations as opposed to social and so on.

Of all the NLP Corporate programs we have available this seems to have become one of the most topical for today's circumstances.

Telephone Technique

A highly tuned skill. All you have is the auditory component which demands forensic calibration skills of the person on the other end of the phone as well as Oscar winning capacity and subtlety with your voice.

There are also a lot of techniques from the range of our NLP Corporate programs that can be applied to disarm complaints, redirect directions of thinking and establish rapid, quick fire rapport. Along with this it is useful to teach emotional state control and high performance strategies. Your call center will always be ‘on’.

Culture Change

It is important to put as much attention on the environment within which people operate as well as the people themselves. There are some useful strategies that can be employed to enhance the functioning environment and team qualities.

These entail some insight into corporate ‘tribalism’ that gives your people a sense of belonging and wishing to contribute. Climates of fear are infectious and can be extremely damaging to all involved. It is relatively easy to change this.

The best approach is often a 'bottom-up' one that draws on the collective wisdom and street-smarts of your people. As importantly this then tends to be structured in a way that both makes sense and is easily digested by the business as a whole.

Near miracles occur when everyone is on the same page.

Negotiation Skills

There are many components to this. Perceived value is usually more important than actual value.

It is essential to leave the other party feeling as though they have won something or at least come out equal.

I have seen so much money left on the table or just given away through lack of insight with good Negotiation principles.

Competence Confidence and Presence

Relevant to everyone across the whole spectrum of an organisation. This is very closely knit with self belief. One person emanating this quality can carry an entire team.

We all have our bug bears that can pull us down. These skills are universal and adaptable enough that individuals can personalise them for their own idiosyncrasies.

This course can be a life changer - and has been so many times.

Peak Performance

This actually includes many components from time management to high level control over internal states.

It is critical with this program to understand the physiology and nature of the nervous system – not in a medical sense but in terms of its practical demands and consequences. Most people sabotage themselves merely through the way they go about their day and their tasks. Fatigue and inefficiency is almost guaranteed.

You will discover ways to greatly enhance your current 'best levels' and to reach them way more consistently.

Dealing with Change

I think this is a critical component at any time. It is a basis from which we conduct our own business. It has become far more important with the current developments in the world that effect just about everyone at any level of business.

There are three major components with this program.

1. How do you adapt yourself to easily flow with the changing moments and demands?
2. How do read the phase and cycles of change and become predictive and prepared?
3. What are the immediate implications for you and your organization and how to implement changes?

Managing Successful Meetings

Everyone has suffered through a painful wasteful meeting that went way off track and over time. We cover nice ways of avoiding this while also avoiding the ‘shoot the messenger’ syndrome.

Call Center Strategies

This deserves its own training. An operator within a call center actually requires high level skills with very little time to implement them. A large part of this is also managing the culture within the center – 'on the ground' management skills really.

There needs to be a balance with this one from setting personal accountability – that is measurable – to enrolling and motivating the operators and providing them with exciting and engaging skills.

Like our others, this NLP Corporate program can instantly raise profits.

Creative Thinking Skills

I believe that any investment in the enhancement of your people comes back a hundred fold. This is another program where understanding the ‘biology’ of learning is important. There are life changing insights with this one.

If you know how to employ some of the strategies covered here you can become free of your habituated ways of thinking and discover new ways of approaching your situations.

Conflict Resolution

There is no surer way to destroy a team than to leave unresolved conflict unattended to. It is far more effective to resolve situations than to clean them up afterwards. This requires high level skill and a few basic strategies.

Assertiveness

This is an important skill for those who don’t do it well. If someone under-does this skill they tend to become a doormat and if someone over-does it they tend to be perceived as a bully. In both these situations it is relatively easy to provide the skills. In some situations the ‘bully’ version doesn’t want to change in which case see ‘Conflict Resolution’ above.

Team Building

There are many ways to approach this. A common approach is the trip away to a center away from work. This can be effective if facilitated well. I find more and more these days though, this is a luxury a lot of companies can no longer afford. There are still ways of achieving this on site. It can even be attended to under the guise of another NLP Corporate training – a sales training for example.

Decision Making

All of us at some time would love the opportunity of ‘having that moment all over again’. This program is designed to minimize those moments.

It has been said that most important decisions are made with insufficient information. In that case you better have a pretty good strategy.

A good decision making strategy usually entails managing a set of comparisons. The good decision makers tend to be able to do this internally, lightning quick. It is the intention of this course to provide these internal skills.

I could go on with other courses that we have provided over the years but I hope this gives an effective overview.

Mostly, our NLP Corporate programs tend to be a composite of the above programs that we have put together for the specific needs of the client at hand.
