Transforming Your Approach to Getting What You Want

This 5-day Mini Course is your opportunity to stop fighting battles that leave you depleted and start uncovering what's really possible when you align with your authentic goals.

Clear the path to what you truly want and make it feel possible

Imagine this...

You’re running a race, but you're in a maze with twists and turns that are hard to anticipate.

No matter how fast you go, how much effort you put in, or how many people cheer you on, you never quite get there.

Sound familiar?

For many of us, life can feel like this—always overachieving, pushing harder, and using every ounce of energy to prove to yourself (and others) that you’re doing enough.

Yet, deep down, there’s a quieter voice. It whispers questions like:

“What if this isn’t the right race for me?”
“Why does it feel like I can’t have what I want?”
“What if all this striving isn’t leading me where I want to go?”

The truth is, you might not need to run harder—you might need to step back, pause, and ask: Am I aligned with what I truly want?

Who is this for?

This mini course is for professionals, seekers, and growth-minded individuals ready to break free from cycles of overachievement and self-doubt. If you’re seeking alignment with what you truly want so you can set clear, achievable goals, this experience will guide you there.

Hear from our graduates

"I have spent my life finding modalities for change and evolution of consciousness. This work is THE most powerful stuff I've experienced! Every aspect of my life is vastly improved (and I mean, radically transformed!) because of this work."

Rev. Dr. Melissa Phillippe
Teacher, musician, transformational coach
"NLP Marin's trainings were hands down the best investment I've ever made - in my business, myself, my well-being, and my life. I whole-heartedly recommend the trainings to anyone who is wanting to change their life for the better."

Lindsay
Life Coach
"If this quality of NLP training was a required course for everyone, we'd all know more about what it means to be human, how to change our lives for the better, and how to get along and understand each other. I'd like to live in that world, and NLP Marin courses feels like an important step along the way."

Jennifer Russell
Facilitator, Speaker, and Coach

Frequently Asked Questions

When do we meet?

We will meet at 10:00 AM Pacific time, 1:00 PM Eastern time, and 6:00 PM Greenwich Mean Time each day via Zoom for our live session.

How long is each session?

Each session will be between 40-45 minutes.

What if I can't attend live?

Each session will be recorded and available to you in our course portal.

How long will I have access to the recordings?

You'll have access for six months.

What is the difference between the mini-course and the Core Competencies or Intensive Training Core (ITC) class?

The Aligned Ambitions mini course is a taste of what you'll experience in the Core Competencies or Intensive Training Core (ITC) Transformational NLP courses.

Core Compentencies is a our flagship program in which you'll learn our foundational skillset to create your most treasured outcomes in work, love, and life. Immerse in the "difference that makes the difference" between run-of-the-mill capability and truly magnificent art and skill working with others (and with yourself).

Intensive Training Core (ITC) is the three-month version of the Core Competencies course. We cover the same material as the four-month course, but in a compressed timeframe. The course consists of two, 5-day weeks. The days are a bit longer, but this course format works well for folks with limited time or like a fast-paced learning environment. ITC is held in-person only in Novato, California.

We'll talk more about these classes toward the end of the mini-course. You can also learn more about both versions of this course by visiting nlpmarin.com/core-itc.

These dates don't work. When is your next mini course?

We will have additional Aligned Ambitions mini course dates in 2027, to be announced. Even if you can't attend live this time, you are welcome to register, and you'll receive the videos to watch at your leisure. The videos for this course will be available in your Student Portal account for six months.
