NLP Tips for Trainers & Coaches
5.30 - 7.30pm Wed 23 April

Penny Delfs (Core Semantics) will conduct a fun and interactive session with valuable Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) tips for you to use when helping others either in a one-on-one or in a group training situation.

What is NLP? NLP is an incredibly powerful discipline that enables people to unblock the structures of communication and human excellence. By doing so people can think, communicate and manage themselves, and others, more effectively. NLP explores the relationships between how we think (neuro), how we communicate (linguistic) and our patterns of behaviour and emotion (programmes).

Cost is $25 for AIPF/NSAA/ICF Qld Chapter Members and $35 for guests
Includes seminar, great networking, drinks and nibbles
