From 19 March 2024, I am an official, internationally recognised NLP Trainer. From the hands of Dr Richard Bandler I received the coveted trainer certificate. To achieve that, I went through 6 insanely intensive and exciting training days in Orlando (Florida) in a super-enthusiastic international company.
After suffering burnout in 2017, I decided to change my life. For years, I had put off many of my dreams and it was time to make them come true, piece by piece. Immersing myself in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) was part of this and what a great deal it has brought me, both in my private life and in my profession as a lawyer and now also as a mediator.
Because in helping to resolve conflicts, I increasingly ran up against the limitations that the toolbox of laws and regulations offers me as a lawyer. Indeed, behaviour, communication and mindset play the real leading role in the vast majority of conflicts. I lacked the insights and techniques to address precisely these essential elements of conflicts in a targeted way. NLP as devised by fellow Dr Richard Bandler from the 1970s onwards after intensive observations, turns out to be particularly effective tools in this regard.
When resolving conflicts as a lawyer and as a mediator, being able to apply NLP skills is downright gold. In addition, this is certainly true for guiding in building lasting collaborations in any form. Now that I am expected to reach the years of wisdom and experience, I want nothing more than to pass on all this brilliant, applicable knowledge and skills to other professionals in my new role as a trainer.
Specific training programmes (including an online version) are in the pipeline. You will hear more about them from me in the near future!
