What about
ethics?
Our NLP Practitioner course has been
designed and developed for professional people, focusing on business
applications and tools that will help you both professionally and
personally.
Of course, business and personal
issues are woven together and are all part of you, so we work with
anything and everything that delegates may raise during the course.
"Be aware that if you lead people to
do what's in their interest they are likely to thank you, if you lead
people to do what is against their interest they are likely want to get
their own back!......"
"Some of what we do is powerful. In a
way the better we get the more responsibility we take on ..."
The course trainers and assistants are
always available to help you with any specific or personal issues that
you want to discuss and will always do whatever they can to be of
assistance.
Psychological or psychiatric problems
are extremely rare on our NLP courses, due to the way we position and
run them, however should you be aware of any problems of this nature, we
would always advise you to consult the relevant medical expert prior to
the course.
The nature of NLP training means that
we do cover subjects such phobia cures and other therapeutic techniques,
and we always do this in a way that helps you to gain maximum benefit
from these tools. This means that we help you to apply the tool in as
wide a context as possible so that you're not restricted to one set of
outcomes.
Whilst we do tend to cover personal
issues during the individual practice sessions, we would encourage you
to only share and discuss subjects that you are comfortable dealing with
within the training context. Remember that your partners during the
exercises are learning too and they may not have the experience to deal
with certain issues that may come up.
Out of hundreds of people trained so
far, we've only seen a couple of people in tears during an exercise. Its
worth remembering that this can happen as a result of exploring certain
subjects using certain techniques and if it does, the first thing to do
is nothing.
Many people, when faced with this
situation worry about what to do and our advice is just to relax, offer
support (NOT sympathy!) and to maintain a positive state yourself so
that your partner has a positive direction to move in. Just accept
whatever happens as part of the process and you'll be fine.
An important consideration in NLP
training is ethics. Everyone's are different so its important that
we respect the ethical needs and beliefs of each person on the course.
As a general rule, everything that
happens during the training course is treated in confidence, and no
delegate at any time will be expected to do anything that they do not
agree or feel comfortable with.
If there's an exercise that you don't
want to join in with - for whatever reason - just let us know. You can
be certain that we will be supportive of whatever choices you make
during the course concerning your own personal comfort and safety.
At some point during each course, we
tend to have a debate over the ethics of NLP. We welcome and encourage
this because it helps you to decide where your own ethical boundaries
are and that will help you to decide how you can use NLP best in your
own environment.
