THE LAST

MASTER PRACTITIONER COURSE

To know, understand, and practice NLP involves two parts-NLP Practitioner
and NLP Master Practitioner.  Now most people have the first impression that
master practitioner inevitably is more advanced than practitioner.  It is
not.  The content of the master prac. course is certainly based on the basic
NLP Communication Model that you learn in Prac., but other than that, the
content is no more complicated.   What is in the master practitioner course
is there solely because it was developed later.  

If you want to become a practitioner of the NLP meta-discipline, you need
all of the pieces that are represented in both the prac. and the master
prac. Courses.  They are all necessary for a full understanding of the NLP
Communication Model and for understanding how to model experiences of
expertise.  Back in the late 1990s, Bob Bodenhamer and I spent a couple
years putting all of that material together into two volumes.  You can now
find all of it in the two-volumes of User's Manual of the Brain.  Volume I
is the textbook for NLP Practitioner and Volume II is the textbook for NLP
Master Practitioner training.

What will you find in those volumes that cover the Prac. and Master Prac.
courses?  You will find the five meta-domains of NLP.  After all, that's
what NLP is-a meta-discipline.  As a discipline about the structure of human
experience, with the NLP models, you can map out the way the variables
(state, linguistics, beliefs, values, understandings, capabilities, etc.)
come together to create an experience.

Practitioner course begins with the Meta-Model of Language.  This model is
about how language works and it enables you to become a good critical
thinker.  First you come to recognize key linguistic distinctions so that
you can quickly identify key critical categories for how we use language to
map things.  Identifying these distinctions then gives you a set of powerful
questions for recovering a fuller description.  Now you can be more precise
in communicating and mental mapping.  Reversing this model is the Milton
Model, a model about how hypnotic language works, that is, how it enables us
to induce desired resourceful states.

Practitioner also introduces you to the Representational Model for how
"thinking" and then experiencing occurs and is coded.  Within this model is
the Strategy Model by which we can identify the representational steps of
any experience in order to model it and/or design a model for some
experience of excellence.  Within this model are also what has been called
sub-modalities- which are actually the cinematic features of the
representational systems, a meta-domain and a meta-model in itself.

Then in Master Practitioner we focus first on another meta-model, the
Meta-States Model.  This model addresses the special kind of consciousness
of human beings-our self-reflexive consciousness.  It is this meta-domain
that explains "logical levels" and explore the area of beliefs and values.
Robert Dilts examined this area early in NLP and began mapping it out which
resulted in his Neuro-Logical Levels.  John Grinder and Judith DeLozier also
explored it and used "logical levels" to begin mapping out the details of
the genius state (Turtles All the Way Down).  From the Meta-States, the
Matrix Model arose in 2002 as a systems model that enables one to think and
work systemically with individuals or organizations.

The next meta-model of NLP is the domain of the Meta-Programs Model.  This
model is about human perceptual filters-the mental and perceptual filters
that we use in processing information.  It model arose originally when
Leslie Cameron-Bandler was running "classic NLP patterns" and finding
instances where they did not work.  Something was interfering.  What was
interfering turned out to be various meta-programs.  Very quickly a dozen
were made explicit and then over time, another 4 dozen.  Later, we
discovered that most meta-programs are created by the meta-stating process.

The last time I trained the Master Practitioner course as such was 2004,
that was in Australia.  Since then, from time to time, I trained individual
units of these or specific parts that we applied to leadership, coaching,
productivity, self-actualization, etc.  But I have now agreed to do it one
last time.  Why?  Because I want to get it all video-taped and recorded.  I
want to do that mostly for the Neuro-Semantic Trainers who train Master
Practitioner today and those who will be doing so in the future.

This last Master Practitioner course will be conducted in Manila Philippines
in August 13- 25, 2018 and sponsored by Breakthrough Consulting.  Aldem and
Vanessa Salvana and other Trainers in the Philippines will be offering the
first three days of the Master Prac., The Meta-States Model (APG).  I will
lead the other 12 days.  For information about this, here is contact
