Presented by Betty Cosgrave

Hi,
my name is Betty Cosgrave and I would like to thank you for
considering my NLP Licensed Practitioner training in 2015.
Over the years, its become apparent to me, that people make
changes in their life circumstances, for a vast array of reasons
but more often than not, its when theyre feeling stuck,
whether its in a job, or a relationship, or even with an

unwanted

behaviour

or

habit.

The

underlying

difficulties

however, are usually the same a lack of belief in their own

capacity to make change happen, a perceived lack of choice, or
an inability to identify where they really want to go with their
life.
The good news is, that there is a way forward and you can
discover where you really want to go in life. The choices youve
made so far were based on what you thought you could do and

if they didnt always work out the way you hoped, well that
doesnt mean anything, except that maybe if you had greater
choice, then success could have been yours.

Whether you decide to take this training, as a new career path,

or simply for self-development and personal growth, it will quite
simply be the best investment youve ever made in yourself.

NLP Its a kind of magic

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is defined as the study of
the structure of subjective experience and what can be calculated
from that. It is predicated upon the belief that all behaviour has
structure. People such as Virginia Satir, Milton Erickson and Fritz
Perls had amazing results with their clients and they were some of

calculation. Since the models that constitute NLP describe how

the human brain functions, they are used in order to teach them.
NLP is not a diagnostic tool. It can only be applied and can
therefore only be taught experientially.

We cant solve any

problems by using the
same kind of thinking
we used when
creating them
~ Albert Einstein

Well trained Neuro-Linguistic Programmers will always teach by

installation, not by teaching technique after technique. Techniques
outdate themselves too quickly to base the field of NLP on a set
of techniques. It is based upon the attitude, the models and the
skills which allow for constant generation of new techniques which
are more effective and work faster.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming was specifically created in order
to allow us to do magic by creating new ways of understanding how

verbal and non-verbal communication affect the human brain. As

such it presents us all with the opportunity to not only
communicate better with others, but also learn how to gain more
control over what we considered to be automatic functions of our
own neurology.

Why choose this training?

Who can benefit
from NLP

EMPLOYERS

COACHES

TEACHERS

THERAPISTS

COUNSELLORS

SALES STAFF

The Licensed NLP Practitioner is a comprehensive training

programme, offering an internationally recognized Society of
NLP certificate and the opportunity to become involved in a
career, which is both financially rewarding and personally
fulfilling. Upon completion, you will have the skill-set, confidence
and ability to work with clients.
Unlike most other NLP trainings, which are held over seven
consecutive days, my training takes place over four weekends. I
believe this to be far more beneficial to the student, as it allows
for the inevitable personal growth which occurs as a result of the
influx of new ideas and concepts.
Teachers, counsellors and therapists will attain the ability to help
students, or clients transform their thinking, develop strategies
for success and dissolve emotional negativity.
Communication There are many benefits for those skilled in the
use of NLP, not least of which is the capacity for excellence in
communication. People start to value your opinions and advice a
lot more, because they get the feeling that you understand them,
you hear what theyre saying. or you see things the same way
they do. This is possible, once you understand the magic of
Representational Systems.

Confidence Understanding exactly what makes you tick, delivers

a wonderful feeling confidence and belief in your own abilities.
You can banish forever , any discomfort you may have felt when
addressing groups of people, such as delivering presentations, or
other events that require speech making etc.

Many people take this training purely for personal reasons, as it

contains many powerful techniques, which can lead to radical
individual change.

can say without doubt, that they will provide you with the
transformational tools needed to bring about lasting change in
your life.
The great news is, that whether you want to get rid of limiting
beliefs, become more motivated, or simply just feel happier in
yourself more of the time, then NLP is exactly what you need.
With NLP you can sort through mental and emotional processes,

a language that resonates with them... which in turn allows you to

create better rapport and achieve the outcomes that you want! It
also helps you to understand what people really mean when they
communicate with you, hence allowing you to become more
effective in relationships.
You can improve relationships and communication with family,
friends and colleagues. You can learn to identify clearly, your own
emotional baggage and separate it from that of others, allowing
you, to be who you really are, and speak your own truth, in a way
that is more easily accepted by others.

NLP has many
applications

NLP is built around communication, thinking skills, emotional

intelligence and behavioural changes.
The techniques are relevant to everyone and will be of benefit
in every area of your life.

Personal
Development

Career
Advancement

Health Care
Professionals

Develop a better understanding of what makes you tick. Gain

insight and compassionate patience with the people in your life
by responding effectively in the moment. Recognise your own
out-of-date responses to situations and replace them with skills
you know will benefit and enhance your life.
By improving how you currently perform your functions: in
interviews and meetings. Present your ideas with greater clarity
and impact. Whether you are currently employed or changing
jobs you are in effect competing for advancement and this
depends on your personal qualities, your ability to organise and
present ideas. Inspire others with these ideas and congruently
demonstrate your confidence. NLP can empower you to gain that
vital extra edge.

NLP was born out of the study and modelling of the highly
effective therapists like Milton Erickson, Virginia Satir and Fritz
Perls. Its an excellent add-in or plug-in system that compliments
just about any conventional, or alternative therapeutic discipline.
It is often said that there is nothing new in NLP and there is truth
to that with the exception that it is about process rather than
content.
The NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner courses will provide
a range of approaches for assisting your clients in making quite
profound changes in their lives and in their emotional
perceptions.

NLP has many

applications

Parents

Discover the fundamental differences between how an adult

mind responds differently to that of a child's. Communication
lines open when children are understood from their map of the
world. NLP is the language of our unconscious mind often
referred to as the 'right brain'. The study provides the rational or
'left brain' understanding of the functions of the 'right brain'. The
benefits to children living with parents who have studied NLP are
profound. NLP helps you provide your child with an attuned,
balanced and coherent childhood which in turn helps them
achieve their full potential as an adult.

Management

Improve your ability to communicate, coach, motivate and

manage. Develop the skills and behavioural flexibility essential for
coping with todays flatter corporate structure, cross-functional
responsibilities, team structures and remote management.

Relationships

NLP gives you the techniques by which to aid communication

whether with your partner, children or colleagues and friends.

Athletes

Model champions more effectively, develop a winners attitude,

create focus and self-confidence at will in every competition
situation, banish self-doubt completely, visualize your path to
success with greater clarity.

What is NLP?
Simply put,
it is not reality
that limits us
but rather, our
perception of reality.

NLP is an ever-expanding series of processes which have been

designed as a means of increasing the number of choices
available to us, when dealing with any set of circumstances,
thrown up by life. It allows us to have greater flexibility of
thought and action, by providing us with a clear understanding
of the mental and cognitive processes behind our own and
others behaviour. It is an invaluable tool for the creation of
powerful, empowering states and beliefs.
Our understanding of what is real, is based on our experience in

is possible.
NLP is not an intellectual process. On the contrary, it is very
behavioural and because of this, its not so much about what you
know, but rather about what you do with, what you know.
Becoming a good NLP practitioner does require a lot of practice
and you can do that in your everyday activities and interactions
with friends and colleagues.
