Comments About NLP From Professional Journals
"NLP cannot be dismissed as just another hustle. Its theoretical underpinnings represent an ambitious attempt to codify and synthesize the insights of linguistics, body language, and the study of communication systems."
Psychology Today
"[NLP] does offer the potential for making changes without the usual agony that accompanies these phenomena ... Thus it affords the opportunity to gain flexibility, creativity, and greater freedom of action than most of us now know...."
Training and Development Journal
"While, for the most part, NLP has been applied to psychotherapy, new applications are being explored.... Work of this kind with school children has proven to be very successful. In fact, these approaches have been successful with students who have been labeled 'learning disabled.'"
Data Training
"... real estate brokers and salespeople use Neuro-Linguistics to enhance their communication and provide them with more choices when working in a difficult situation ... it shows how we make sense of the world around us and communicate."
Real Estate Today
"[NLP] is not snake oil ... NLP could be the most important synthesis of knowledge about human communication to emerge since ... the sixties."
Science Digest
"An integration between clinical skills and basic sciences must include ... neuro-linguistics ..."

Comments From Past Participants Of Our Training Programs
Educators
The best $2000 I ever spent. It's given me new insight into when I have, or don't have, rapport with people I work with. Also gives me a sense of when I've given my program participants information that is beneficial to them--or when they have gotten stuck. I can note through their non-verbal cues, what students get or don't get, so I can re-phrase or change my approach. Immediately helpful in improving my communication in other areas of my life, my church, my family and in general.

My family and personal life is more open, flexible and communicative. I am more of a resource to myself ... career is budding and I'm seeing good results in my work ... really enjoyed, learned and grown from this experience ... an artistically orchestrated set of learnings ... I am impressed.

My training in NLP has been extraordinarily valuable, not only professionally as a university professor and counselor, but also personally. The intensive training was one of the most thorough and skillfully conducted of any training that I have received....

I guess I got spoiled at NLP ... your smooth and polished technique ... it had a profound effect on my life. Thanks for showing me how to change my capabilities--my beliefs--who I am. I am becoming a more positive and responsible person. In my law practice I am getting unbelievable results. I use the techniques regularly, especially in gathering information from clients and in depositions ... course was a very wise investment.

The NLP course I took from you changed my life. It gave me a whole new way of thinking about how the brain works as well as tools to influence the thinking and experiences of other people and myself. I use the tools I got from NLP every day in my practice--with clients, partners, courts and office personnel. I am benefited personally every day by the skills I developed in your course. And this says nothing about the fact that the course was so much fun, primarily, I suspect, because of your incredible ability to bond people.... Before I took the course, I thought it was very expensive. Now I think it was worth every penny and more ... I look forward to taking more training.

NLP has given me the knowledge that I have choices and provided me the tools to access those choices. I know that I have the resources available within me to create new behavior and create new beliefs about myself and others.... I would recommend NLP to every trial attorney.
Dianne Marshall

The course is excellent. I would recommend it to anyone who communicates with others professionally (which should include everyone). I now understand why people behave the way they behave and it makes it easier for them and me.

Psychotherapists
I have told so many people about NLP and persuaded them to take the training because I know what a great benefit it can be to them professionally and personally. Anybody who works with people--to communicate easily, to get a point across, to motivate people to do something--can benefit from the skills ... once you've taken the training, you'll wonder how you managed to get along without it ... When people tell me about their some professional experiences they might have had ... I immediately think of how much easier that situation could have been handled if they'd have had NLP training. All of this works on a personal level as well ... to communicate and relate with the people we're closest to.
Kris O'Rourke, MSW, BCSW

NLP almost put me out of business ... my clients get what they need so fast I seem to "lose" them almost instantly. I guess that's the highest recommendation I can give. It has certainly changed the way I think and work.
Stan Brumfield, Ph.D.
Director of Counseling
Western Kentucky University
Dr. Jacobson's teaching techniques are far more exceptional than what is typical of workshop presenters. I left each training session with knowledge ingrained in me. Only a little practice on my part was necessary to bring the skills into full effectiveness. Dr. Jacobson's presentation of NLP materials is direct, fun and enchanting, and highly individualized. Therapy prior to my NLP training was like ballet in foul weather gear. Now, at the Master Practitioner level of NLP skills, my therapy sessions are like swimming with dolphins. In my personal life, the generative and evolutionary skills of modeling give me the option of learning any skill or pattern I find useful. I am quite free to set whatever limits on myself that I deem appropriate. I generate and evolve myself by my choices. Dr. Sid Jacobson is a teacher's teacher and an "NLPer's NLPer."

This course so far exceeded my expectations I can hardly believe it ... and I expected a lot. It was truly an exciting enjoyable learning experience, and what I learned is invaluable.

NLP has made it a lot easier for me to deal with my patients and their problems. It has allowed me to motivate them, and communicate better with them than ever before ... helped me develop new insight into patients--things that I never could have known before. I can better motivate my staff and residents ... accelerated the learning curve for both students and residents.

I have done many different self growth programs before, but at the end of your first program I knew I would continue NLP training. NLP is powerful and positive and has helped me in my personal life as well as my professional career. Thank you.

Using NLP as a model allows you to tap right into the way people are thinking, and what they're feeling, so you can help them to better realize the options available to them. A great help to me in both my practice and my personal life.

After attending many different kinds of professional development workshops and training programs, I'd have to say this is the most powerful communication model I have ever studied. This has been of tremendous benefit to me, giving me new choices and new directions in both my personal and professional life.

The basis for good selling is good communication. The NLP course has taught me to ask more probing questions that result in more accurate information. I am certain that my clients will benefit from these improved skills as much as I have.
