Core Competencies (Core)
Intensive Training Core (ITC)

Develop the ability to build safety, connection, and intimacy with absolutely anyone, anywhere, any time. Including yourself.

Learn to distinguish between levels of rapport, "the difference that makes the difference" when you need deeper access to a person’s unconscious mind and also must be deeply trustworthy as you do so.

Learn a series of five powerful questions that set the process of transformation in motion.

Develop even more skill at guiding people to identify what they really and truly want, personally and professionally. Learn the art of asking the “right” questions that cause stuck situations and patterns to spontaneously open toward movement and positive change.

Discover how to create change through the spoken word.

Gradually develop more and more skill in utilizing the art of "specific vagueness" to enhance communication and understanding.

Learn precise question patterns that work magically to unlock an unproductive experience.

Practice working with difficult material in a way that doesn’t bring up more of the difficult material, and also naturally brings out the client’s own native strength and resourcefulness.

Gain instant, respectful access to unconscious barriers.

Learn how and when to ask the key question, "What stops you?" A very simple question which, when asked correctly, gives you access to volumes of entirely unconscious experience in just a few seconds.

This is a life-changing event for everyone who learns it.

NLP Marin is the only place in the world to learn this skill, which allows you to facilitate more change in a single session than is available in years with other modalities.

Without knowing how to uncover, understand, and work with Ecology, painful patterns stay stuck in place.

Ecology is like the "fine print" that we often don't know is there, but nevertheless keeps change from sticking, or happening at all.

Delve deeply into personal history and learn many ways to uncover and understand the very important reasons that patterns have existed in someone’s life up to this point. Artful change always takes these important reasons into account so there aren't negative, unintended consequences as a result of positive change.

Quickly revise painful, dysfunctional patterning.

Learn explicit procedures to discover and then rewrite old "dysfunctional" or un-motivation-producing programming "code." And then install more productive and useful patterning.

Dig into the structure of human experience to uncover anyone’s "strategies" – the hugely unconscious patterning that determines the success or failure, the easefulness or painfulness, of all of our experience, motivation, decision-making, and learning.

Develop skill in conducting multiple, simultaneous conversations with many different levels of the unconscious mind.

Discover a reliably miraculous method for gaining in-the-moment, respectful access to the deep unconscious content of the client’s experience (that you and they might not be able to otherwise access).

Use elegant language patterns to facilitate deep, lasting change.

Learn how to use story, metaphor, and specific word sequences to respectfully access the unconscious mind and create changes that build and grow over time.
