SYNOPSIS OF 'THE EFFECTIVE DELIVERY OF TRAINING USING NLP':-

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is rapidly providing techniques to assist trainers in the effective delivery of training and development. The author, who has considerable experience in this area, insists throughout this book that good training and good NLP techniques are 'what works'. Many trainer may instinctively follow the principles and apply the skills of NLP, but may not be aware they are doing so. All trainers can learn to use NLP methods effectively in their training and development.

For the first time NLP and training methods are brought together in a well-researched, easy to read, practical handbook. Clearly detailing what NLP involves and how it can be utilised in every stage of the training process, this up to the minute guide addresses the training function in five main sections.

- creating the right environment
- creating an effective personal state
- getting the message across
- being flexible to meet the needs
- confirming the learning

With a comprehensive glossary to explain the jargon that all too often clouds this exciting new technique, this excellent resource will inspire and advise those new to the world of NLP.

Review from Accelerated Learning:

Possibly the best book to date on the subject of the practical application of NLP in training. Includes lots of practical exercises.' Highly Recommended

Review from Training Officer:
'This book is worth reading and offers a number of interesting perceptions and insights to inspire different approached to familiar training situations'

Review from People Management:

My Second Book, Sporting Excellence,
Optimising Sports Performance Using NLP, is available now.

The techniques used in this book are based on a combination of skills already used by many sportspeople, relevent techniques from training and business backgrounds and personal experience.

The book is not primarily about sports psychology, although it does fit broadly within that field and is based on a lot of sports psychology research.


Topics include:-
- mental rehearsal
- effective preparation stratagies
- developing self confidence
- developing strategies for success
- using visualisation and imagery
- harnessing aggresion
- achieving consistent levels of motivation

The book is aimed at both amateur and professional sports-people and is intended to be practical, informative and easy to use. One of the fun things about writing it was involving people who had achieved great success in sport to give quotes and interviews. This proved to be more difficult than it first appeared as the first problem was knowing how to track them down. Many hours were spent in libaries doing detective work. One learning point was that, almost without exception, contacts via agents proved to be negative, a polite but firm turndown.

Most success was achieved when contact was made directly e.g. by writing direct to a club. Even then not everyone said yes, but among those that did were, Sharon Davis, Geoff Capes, Phil de Glanville, Tony Adams, Stirling Moss, Sally Gunnell, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, David Lloyd and Alan Ball.

In addition I was able to carry out two interviews with people who each had their own idividual approach to sport, Dean Richards and Kevin Keegan. They each gave me well over an hour of their time, which was absolutely fascinating and incredibly useful.

Review in Here's Health:
'A goldmine of practical techniques giving advice on how to obtain your optimum sports potential. Includes top tips and comments from leading sports personalities.'
