If you want to learn Communication Skills in Sydney, then this course is for you.

This course is a Beginners' level overview of NLP. It is designed for people who want a brief introduction to NLP to gain some practical skills. It will give participants the basics, so that they can pursue further NLP study if they wish.

Agenda

During this course the intention is that the following topics will be covered, but not necessarily in the order given. Due to the variable nature of Adult Education classes, parts of the curriculum may be adapted to suit the needs of the class.

This course will cover:

• A brief explanation of what NLP is and how it works
• Discovering a person’s favoured representational system and the communication style which works best with it
• Understanding another person’s values and how that affects their communication
• The basis of rapport and how to get into rapport with other people
• Practice in techniques for communicating assertively
• Practice in active listening techniques
• Stepping into others’ shoes through using perceptual position techniques

It is difficult to say how the exact structure of the workshop will unfold, as this will partly be based on what is elicited from participants during the workshop. NLP utilises participants’ beliefs, values and decisions, and so a fundamental part of the workshop will be discussing these things with participants. NLP techniques include things such as brief, guided visualisations, the use of story telling (metaphor) and a range of other techniques.
