You May Be Surprised that Neuro Linguistic Programming Is Already Part of your Leadership; Learn How to Maximize It 

Judy Tincher, Master Certification in Transformational Coaching, Facilitator, Organizational Strategist & Transformation Enthusiast

What do Oprah, JK Rowling, Serena Williams and Hillary Clinton have in common? You already know they are women in the spotlight, and something you may not know is that they all used techniques from Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) to get there! 

You’re already using some of the same techniques that these women powerhouses and many other successful CEOs, elite athletes, and sales mavens use to generate rapport, find agreement on any topic, and use their influence in an impactful and authentic way. In this interactive workshop, we’ll introduce you to the pillars of NLP and practice NLP techniques so that you, too, can effectively use NLP as part of your leadership. 

Because NLP can be applied to any aspect of your life and leadership, this workshop will focus on communication: it’s for leaders who are already skilled communicators, familiar with using observation and visual, auditory and kinesthetic cues to find common ground with anyone. Welcome innovation to your communication style as you add NLP techniques and practice them in the workshop.  You will develop your awareness and flexibility so you can, for example, help your big-picture people get out of overwhelm and into action, and help your detail-oriented people step away from nit-picking to find common ground.      

  • Get a new perspective on building rapport by mirroring and matching  
  • Challenge yourself to explore conversation in chunks and learn to move the move the conversation in any direction 
  • Move toward a desired state or behavior by allowing yourself to be lead through the transformational NLP Swish technique by a certified practitioner  

This workshop will help you level up your existing communication skills and tap into your creative side to join leaders worldwide who use NLP in exceptional leadership.
