Alexis Story, Health Coach, Atlanta, Georgia (USA)
I just got done with the Master NLP Certification course, and after completing the first part of the ICF NLP program, I have to say this final level cemented everything even further. When Anil first said that this course would change you—rather than simply be a coaching tool—I wasn’t sure what to expect. But that is exactly what happened.
What I discovered is that in order to achieve the results I want in my life, I can use everything I learned in this course to coach myself. That has been the number one, most powerful outcome. I didn’t just do this course for education or to become a better coach, though that was my initial purpose. It ended up changing my entire life. I found myself growing in self-efficacy because I could hear what I was saying, notice my beliefs as I spoke, and recognize what needed to shift. Every time a problem came up, I was able to pause and think, “Wait… I know how to break this down. I know what questions to ask myself. I know how to change my mindset.”
Coming from a fairly negative mindset a lot of the time, I transformed into someone who is far more positive—especially about myself. That shift alone has been life-changing.
As for the course itself, it is organized extremely well. The manual is put together cohesively and coherently. Anil takes the time to explain the purpose behind every concept and is always willing to spend extra time answering questions. You get the sense that every aspect of the program will be explored fully, especially if something needs more clarity. The practice sessions with other coaches are incredibly important—you get to apply the tools immediately, and that hands-on experience makes all the difference.
The logistics of the class flow beautifully. And then, when you look at the kind of people the program attracts, you realize you’re surrounded by amazing coaches who are also growing. In the Master level, it becomes an even higher-level group of individuals—people with real experience, which naturally pushes you to elevate yourself too.
I can’t speak highly enough about this course. I’ve told so many of my friends that I think everyone needs NLP. Whether you’re a coach or not, this course is worth doing simply to learn about yourself. For me, it has been invaluable—truly a life-changing experience.
