Training Style
When we talk about the training style, we believe that a trainer is a designer of experiences and we have taken that to include experiences of different cultures as well as exercises within the context of the programme. We work to Kolb’s learning cycle starting with the experience and using the NLP modelling skills to reflect on what is happening especially the patterns of delegates’ behaviour. We then use these reflections as the basis for the learning and subsequent practice. Sue Knight.
Based on this, I find it easy when our delegates choose to share how they experienced our training style.
- Sue embodies everything about NLP and is a fantastic role-model of excellence on so many levels. Her relaxed and yet ever sharp attention to what is going on in the room and going with that makes it a wonderful learning environment to be in and ensures that the learning is truly embedded and continues beyond the programme itself.”
- Rather than putting up with PPT presentations, rote learning and notes, which is the norm for many a training program, this one broke all rules which was a such a refreshing change. The learnings were beautifully blended in with the exercises and rapport building activities due to which the learnings were warmly received. Feedback was encouraged from the participants and the process of going with the flow to learn something new was really mind-blowing. Sue & Ramesh are an amazing duo like the match winning partnerships seen in the game of cricket. Perfectly timed behavioural co-ordination between the two amazing coaches gave way to a more colourful touch to the overall learning process. The fun, laughter and empathy that both brought in, created a sacred learning space during the sessions.
- It’s like water rafting. The program structure has no structure. Trust and intimacy are the safety gears. Everyone in the program paddles the boat. We know we are in a journey, and open to whatever happens in that space. At the end we all arrive having learnt laughed and all wet. YES, they create a LEARNING space, filled with LOVE and LAUGHTER
- NLP is about modelling. Yet 2 similar with their own flavour is what stood out about the facilitators. Biggest hallmark of a good teacher is demonstrating what they are trying to teach, and they really did that amazingly. So, it’s like now I have not escape on understanding, how it is done. Of course, that Sue and Ramesh have their own diverse backgrounds and nationalities only added to the type of instances shared. They did not run a training. They gave an experience. Their style was conversational and reflective with space created for participants to share with them and do exercises with each other . which was well concluded with the required learnings.
- The facilitation is like a dance Sue’ sensory rich facilitation and Ramesh’s Provocation creates the magic in the room. The reflective space that it creates and respecting space of each and every one of us is something I appreciate very much.
Methodology: The focus is on the process…on “how” rather than the “what”. How has a structure….and when you wanting to model an act of excellence, that is what you are after. And to do that one of the criteria is to work real-time, be in a state of not knowing and open to feedback. Learning happens by working in the moment. And as you do so, you going through a feeling of curiosity, a state of not knowing, which also signals that you are learning something new which you have never learnt before…and what emerges finally is that you discover a whole lot about yourself, and in the process others. Now as a trainer, that is what I look to create for my delegates…. learning experience in way as never before. If you are experiencing resistance in the learning, have questions popping up, then you are in the right track. You have it cause you doing something new…you learning in way that you haven’t learnt before. Ramesh Prasad.
So, we do hope that you fully enjoy the richness of the design, as you meet your outcome in learning NLP.
