General Information on NLP™


...From our general brochure

What Is NLP?

Neuro-Linguistic Programming is (quoted from the standard NLP Practitioner Manuals):

  1. "An Attitude characterized by the sense of curiosity & adventure & a desire to learn the skills to be able to find out what kinds of communication influences somebody & the kinds of things worth knowing... to look at life as a rare, unprecedented opportunity to learn!"
  2. "A Methodology based on the overall operational presupposition that all behavior has a structure... & that structure can be modeled, learned, taught, & changed (reprogrammed). The way to know what will be useful & effective are the perceptual skills"
  3. "An innovative Technology enabling the practitioner to organize information & perceptions in ways that allow them to achieve results that once were inconceivable!"

On Advanced Learning Skills

How much of what you learned in traditional eductional environments have you retained? Take a good guess. Traditional educational environments have programmed us to think that the best learning occurs within formal, dry environments, and that having fun just interferes. On the contrary! If you enjoy the learning, and do it in an active, hands-on manner, using all or more of your sensory systems... don't you think you'd retain much more knowledge than what you retained from high school or college?

NLP™ Seminars

Since NLP™ is a full-body experiential sport(!), it follows that NLP™ Seminars are the most rapid & effective way to learn how to recognize & use NLP™ in all areas of your life, so as to make your experiences more pleasurable, your communication more effective & rewarding, your influence more widespread, & your beliefs more contextually appropriate!

Becoming an NLP™ Practitioner means learning tools for powerful and effective self-change. This can often mean eliminating any need or interest in seeing a counselor or therapist to help overcome personal difficulties. As a result, it is a highly personalized and wonderful investment in leading a more fulfilling existence. Being a Practitioner also means being able to help others resolve problems in their own lives, and is a wonderful complement to other forms of counseling.

Becoming an NLP™ Master Practitioner means learning tools for developing more effective ways for succeeding in business and in the world around you, regardless of how you find yourself using NLP™!

If a full Certification course is more than you need at the moment, we do offer an extensive variety of short-term skills-builder workshops, seminars, and custom business trainings.

For our schedule of upcoming NLP™ Seminars, or to register and participate in any of our Seminar programs, simply call (813) 960-8999 or email us. Seating is often limited, so book early.

What Can it Do For You?

Our 'mental maps' of how we interpret what's around us often doesn't match reality! Plus, we creatively fill the gaps that are found in -- or caused by -- incomplete memories or facts so that we can make good decisions under unclear circumstances! How often do we discover we have inaccurate memories?

Since we do have false memories, why not create useful ones? One can, if one feels so inclined, imagine anything one wishes to! Thus, one can create new, more useful & helpful beliefs at any moment!

Would it be useful to be able to change your behavior simply by expanding your belief set? Would it be useful to be able to change someone else's behavior simply by expanding THEIR belief set???

Think about it!!!

Personal Change

Our Trainer, Jonathan Altfeld, also holds current licenses as a Practitioner & as a Master Practitioner in NLP™, & has experienced wonderful success in helping people to change unwanted behavior & propel themselves towards more desired outcomes in their lives!

Neither Jonathan Altfeld, nor any representatives of The Mastery InSight Institute of NLP™ do ANY traditional counseling, therapy, or psychotherapy. Many clients, however, would describe how using NLP™ can be a FAR more fun, more rapid, & positive means to achieving their goals, comparable to these traditional routes! So while we do NO therapy, we do teach powerful mental tools for achieving rapid change results!

Jonathan is available for private NLP™ training sessions and explicitly states that he does no counseling therapy or hypnosis whatsoever, and yet, even so, his schedule is still often booked for private training sessions!

Audio / Video Tapes

You can purchase audio-tape NLP™ sets on a variety of topics, to help you to become more effective in many areas of your life! Video Tape program sets, covering just about any & every NLP™ topic, often taped during previous Seminars, can usually be acquired directly from NLP™ trainers or the organization to which they belong.

With audio/video tape NLP™ products, the "you get what you pay for" cliche' is often applicable. Costs vary from $15 up to about $350, for the best material available. They're priced to sell, so if they cost more, they're often worth it, though not always! Ask us for recommendations on any NLP™ tapes, whether we carry them or not. We'll be happy to steer you towards the most helpful/effective NLP™ products.

What Professions Can Benefit?

Law, Medicine, Real Estate, Finance, Sales, Marketing, Government, Hypnosis, Counseling, Therapy, & absolutely anything where effective communication is important!


Some Specific NLP™ Skills


Levels of Mastery of NLP™

Please note that these levels do not always exactly correspond with the same skills across different practitioners and master practitioners. Many people who use/do/know NLP™ in their lives have added to the skills they learned in a given training through application of the tools and the skills they acquired. So each person will probably have a very unique view of NLP™ and a very unique combination of particular skills or tools they find effective for them.

Even as you pursue one or more of the levels you see listed below -- ones which would be appropriate for you, and for your own needs and interests in a way that fits your goals and outcomes in life, we invite you to know that these are just starting places... just a certain common way of identifying that you've learned a certain subset of new skills and abilities which very few people in the world have yet learned how to use. Perhaps you want to pursue these so that others don't use these skills on you without your knowledge. Perhaps you just want to learn to communicate better, or perhaps you want to raise your income, and attract more people...

Applications of NLP™

Famous uses of NLP™

Did anyone see Christopher Reeve's address at the 1996 Democratic National Convention? Following his spinal-cord-injury accident, and rumors of suicide, Chris moved millions to tears with his motivational speech about learning to live life to the fullest, amplify the powerful positive things life brings us, and look towards whats wonderful and new in life.
