Just finished delivering a 4 day NLP Diploma course to a really interesting group of people from all over the Midlands; two counsellors, a safety equipment manufacturer, a job-centre manager, a teaching assistant, a police inspector and a lawyer. We had a great time and so did they - some of their comments are shown on the testimonials page and below is a picture of the happy group waving their INLPTA certificates, with me on the left and Mike on the right.

We hope to see some of the group complete the Practitioner programme in February 2012 with 2 further 4 day modules - please see the Courses section for details and dates.

We're looking to use a new venue later this year - the Barns Hotel & Restaurant in Cannock, Staffordshire (WS12 4PB). It's a lovely place - a listed building full of charm and beautifully renovated. The training rooms are perfect for NLP, with plenty of comfortable break-out areas, good food and excellent service. For those having to stay away from home, the Barns will offer excellent accommodation at discounted rates for our delegates.

You will have seen that the Diploma course is module 1 of a 3 module Practitioner programme, although it also stands alone as an accredited INLPTA qualification. We're offering 2 new programmes this year: firstly, we will be starting a series of 1 day seminars at The Barns on Thursday 9th of June and we hope to arrange the next before the end of the year. Secondly, we are currently compiling a Coaching course, which will be externally accredited and which will be delivered between the 20th and 23rd October, also at the Barns. We are very excited about all of these ventures and hope that you can join us.

Inspired Coaching: 20^th - 23^rd October

• How do you know you're getting the best from your colleagues?
• How do you know you're getting the best from your boss, or even from yourself?
• Can you afford to continue to make unreliable judgements about other people, in either your personal or professional encounters?
• How valuable would it be to have a proven framework for your "difficult" conversations, about performance, about selection, promotion and recognition that would inspire the people around you to greater achievements, while securing their loyalty and commitment to your business?
• How worthwhile would it be to have the ability to guide another person through a systematic process that will help them to solve their own problems, without ever resorting to inappropriate advice or homespun stories?

All of this and more will be achieved when you qualify as an Inspired Coach. Four days of intensive, challenging, entertaining and accredited development that will improve your business, improve your leadership skills and improve all of your relationships. You can have the ability to ask the right questions and get the right information; to make great first impressions; to put people at their ease ... "I can't believe I've told you that" ... and ... "I feel like I've known you for years" ... will be comments you will soon get used to hearing.

You may even be considering a career as a coach? Many people begin coaching without the benefit of a structured, universal approach, which can lapse into folksy chat. Folksy chats are nice, they just don't resolve any issues.

Inspired Coaching runs from Thursday 20th to Sunday 23rd October at the Barns Hotel, Cannock, WS12 4PB. A beautiful venue with great food just off junction 11 of the M6. This fully accredited course is £650 - booking and payment before the end of August will give you a 15% discount, while before the end of September will give a 10% discount. If you're not wholly satisfied with our product, we'll give you your money back. All refreshments, materials and formal qualifications are included in the price.
