Do you remember being at your best?

Like when everything just works – when you are getting things done, communicating clearly and feeling great. You can learn to experience being at your best more often, and making that best even better.

You may have heard about NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), and about how it explores how the brain works. How people learn, think, decide, motivate and love life even more. And how you can learn to do all of this even better, faster and with more passion than you might be able to imagine.

Typical outcomes from NLP training include learning to:

  • Get access to your very best emotional states at will,
  • Replace negative behaviours and habits with positive ones,
  • Innovate, think more strategically, and make better decisions moment-to-moment,
  • Transform the way you go about everyday tasks,
  • Be more aware of your impact on others and how to manage your behaviour for optimal results,
  • Magnify your impact by better understanding your own motivations, needs and behaviours,
  • Better understand the needs, motivations and behaviours of your staff and customers,
  • Enhance your interpersonal communications and enjoy more rich, fulfilling and rewarding relationships,
  • Learn the lessons of the past so that you can let go of guilt, pain and regret,
  • Be more charismatic so you can connect with and influence people easily and more elegantly,
  • Design compelling goals, outcomes and a life that inspires, uplifts and energizes you.

NLP Training is like getting an instruction book for your mind

NLP is applied by General Managers, HR managers, parents, corporate coaches, consultants, managers, trainers, psychologists, for a wide range of outcomes, because NLP gives you the skills to be better at being your best.

Sounds great! Where to from here?

Testimonials and Endorsements

(Some of these come from the public endorsements on Daniel’s LinkedIn profile)

Maarten Lampe, HR Project Manager, Starbucks Coffee Company

“I recently attended NLP executive practitioner session conducted by Daniel. I was highly impressed with his in-depth knowledge of NLP, diverse experience and rich educational background. Daniel is great speaker and excellent facilitator. I thoroughly enjoyed the session which was great mix of theory and practice sessions. It was a great learning session in those few days which I couldn’t have accomplished in an entire year. I am sure that i will cherish the learnings and my association with Daniel in coming years.

I think Daniel has immense scope to add value not only to individuals but also to organizations/teams operating in multicultural environment within China. I would highly recommend Daniel as trainer and coach to anyone who is interested in self/team development!!” September 8, 2011

Vidhu Sharma, Asia Pacific HR Director at Diebold
hired Daniel as a Personal Trainer in 2011

I like the exercises and practices as they let me experience for myself what each topic meant. (The training) helps me keep reminding myself to view things and events from different perspectives, helps me realize I need to use much more of my sensory systems (and) can help one discover one’s only weaknesses.
Desmond Chan, General Manager, Caterpillar (China)
(attendee at Executive Practitioner, August 2011)

“This NLP training performed by Dan was the best training (‘not one of the best’) I have ever attended. The NLP techniques and exercises enable me to look people and events from different perspectives. I enjoyed the whole 5 days training with the classmates. And I have equipped myself with more ‘weapons’ for my career and even for my life now.”
Victor Yan, CFO, Haas Automation Asia Co.,Ltd

“As an experienced professional speaker and trainer, I was deeply impressed when I first met Daniel around 2004. I enjoyed mentoring him over the first couple of years, including inviting him as a co-facilitator for my corporate clients. Since then, I’ve watched his success and competence continue to skyrocket. This past summer, I joined his NLP certification program; his approach, style and treatment of the course content was masterful; it is easy for me to highly recommend Daniel.” January 16, 2010
Mario Cavolo, CEO, KBC China Shanghai Ltd.

“Daniel Smith was previously trained in the classic code of NLP before we met at Inspiritive’s (New Code) NLP Trainers training program in 2008. Daniel’s excellent performance on that program is a credit to his discipline and commitment to mastering the fundamental patterns that constitute the basis of both codes of NLP. This is no trival task as trainers of NLP need to have a thorough experiential foundation in the patterning NLP on which to develop a rich conceptual understanding of the field. In January and Feburary 2010 Dan undertook and successfully completed the post-graduate qualification in NLP, the Graduate Certificate in Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Once again he did exceptionally well. He had the added benefit of experiencing the program through the eyes of a trainer.

I recommend Daniel as a consultant and NLP trainer of the New Code and look forward to continuing to hear wonderful feedback about his work from other trainers and students of NLP. Daniel is one of the few NLP trainers in whom I have confidence in their ability to teach the Grad Cert NLP program.” May 28, 2010
Chris Collingwood, Director, Inspiritive Pty Ltd

“拼着2天不学习去上了NLP新密码的课真棒!把我以前对NLP的书面理解,通过实地演练,迅速的提升了一个档次。主要是对生命过程和状态,如何迅速打破旧状态,进入‘想要的’状态。想要就是指:想要专注就能专注,想要激情就能激情,any status!

举一个例子:
早晨跑步,有时候很有状态,有时候很没有状态。这是一件小事,但这其中的原因其实很复杂。有很多方法可以调整它。这就是一个:NLP技巧中的 NASA眼球转动法,是美国宇航局为了训练宇航员在强烈被干扰的情况下仍能集中注意力的方法。在练习它之前,我先回想了(看/听/感觉)没有状态时的跑步场景做完训练,我再次回到这个场景,那时候我觉得很不同!本来很没状态,但那很远处,出现了一个清晰的焦点,我的注意力非常集中在那里然后我的状态就来了!试试看 也许以后就能真的永远克服奔跑状态不佳 这个小又头疼的问题!

另外,结识了好几位有共同语言的新朋友,还有某些公司的睿智领导者。超值了。

对所有愿意自我成长的看客,推荐Daniel的NLP任意课程。

“Dan is a powerful speaker, an expert in the field of NLP and a generally great person to learn from. I would recommend him to my friends any time.
Our first impression of the class was that Dan had already gone the extra mile to focus on each of the students as individuals – all of our materials were customized to each student. Dan was excellent at leading us through exercises until we were comfortable using the NLP techniques ourselves.
I’m extremely pleased to have the opportunity to learn from Dan.” September 6, 2011
