A FULL 10 Days of NLP Practitioner Workshops, providing the ultimate toolkit for transformational coaching:
- The Meta-Model in Language- for surfacing how your clients are making meaning in their unique ‘map’ and to challenge meanings that are keeping them ‘stuck’, or ‘unresourceful’
- The Milton-Model in Language - for guiding your client to focus inwardly in guided visualisations and for use in conversational hypnosis (creating change in relaxed states)
- State Management Tools - to support people to have greater choice in feelings, in a moment (e.g. to feel more confident before public speaking)
- Resolving an internal conflict that causes someone to be paralysed in indecision or inaction
- Mapping the mental ‘strategies’ that are fundamental to every behaviour/feeling that we have, as a way to design change, e.g. creating more effective behaviours based on new internal processes
- The Mind-Set of an NLP Coach - the presuppositions of NLP
- How to create Rapport (trust and connection) both verbally and non-verbally
- Creating a Goal that incorporates everything we know about how our unconscious mind works
- Learning the ‘first language’ of our mind - the Representational Systems
- Learning to observe the non-verbal communication in your Client so as to cut through ‘story’ to deeper levels of meaning
- A tool for helping your client discover an internal source of information and wisdom to support improved communication and empathy with others
- A tool to enable people to end a bad habit
- Using the ‘internal coding of our minds’ to create change at an unconscious level. With this skill, we are able to work to replace a limiting belief, with a generative belief
- Using the Timeline to resolve feelings from the past that make no sense in the present, without ever having to relive the memory
- Using the Timeline to create a compelling goal for the future.
- A Tool for facilitating your Client to access their creative thinking, planning thinking, and critical thinking, so they rapidly design a pathway to their own dreams coming true.
- Integral Eye Movement Therapy for working with unresourceful emotions.
- The NLP Phobia Cure, together with the latest neuroscience understanding of how this process supports people to overcome heavy fears.
iWAM Consultant Accreditation
In addition to all of this, you will receive the full iWAM Consultant Accreditation
This provides an education in the NLP Meta-programs, providing a basis for helping identify what motivates and energises people differently, and common differences in core thinking patterns. The motivation and attitude patterns can be measured via the iWAM profiling instrument AND recognised in language patterns. Understanding these patterns will prove invaluable to you as a Coach.
About the iWAM
The iWAM training is included in this qualification as an online training. You are able to start this online learning as soon as you register. You will still benefit from live, interactive sessions with your class group.
An accreditation in this profiling instrument normally retails at $1,995 in and is included in this package at no extra cost.
- Learn the 48 patterns that make your unique motivational fingerprint
- Understand what will create passion and energy in your work
- Gain insight into how you are creating your current results
- Understand what key development areas will bring breakthroughs in your results
- Practical exercises to help recognise and validate the meta-programs in language patterns
- iWAM Test Design: Statistics, Standard Groups, and Culture
- Introduction and experience in using the iWAM Reports: Individual, Paired and Team Reports
- Skill building exercises in interpreting and delivering individual debriefs using the iWAM instrument.
The iWAM measures 48 thinking styles or meta programs in the context of work. It is an online, easy to use and administer questionnaire that provides an objective way to measure an Individual’s or team’s motivational patterns, evidenced in specific attitudes and behaviours in the workplace. The iWAM does not ‘box’ or categorise people, and as a result is incredibly accurate. Based in Cognitive Science, rather than Personality Theory, the iWAM offers a framework that is ‘coachable’ - that is, clients are able to create change if their current Attitudes and Motivational Patterns are not working for them.
This instrument is used internationally in coaching, team building, talent management, recruitment, outplacement, or leadership development. The Inventory for Work Attitude & Motivation (iWAM) is a groundbreaking instrument, rigorously tested through academic research and corporate settings and found to offer a high level of reliability and validity (r= 0.89).

About the Trainer
My name is Grace Minton, and I am the owner/operator of The Neuro Coaching Academy and an ICF PCC level Coach. I have worked professionally as a Coach for 12 years in both the leadership and personal development fields. I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Coaching that included all the ICF Accredited training in Coaching, and all the NLP training I needed to pursue my dream of working deeply with people to facilitate them in creating real change.
I have an ICF Diploma of Coach and NLP Supervision and have been a lecturer of Coaching at a Post-Graduate level. I began my own journey in personal development at the the age of 14 when I learnt a peer-based method of 'listening partnerships'. By the age of 21 I was teaching this method to others. I have over 25 years experience teaching people to work with others to achieve the results they are seeking.
I have coached professionally in both the leadership development and personal coaching markets and am the owner/operator of a six-figure coaching based company.
I promise you that all Coach Mentoring on this program is either performed by me, or by a qualified ACC Coach, who practices NLP within his/her coaching practice and has been trained by me.

Regarding In-Person Training and Social Distancing
50% of this course is offered as an in-person workshop experience over 10 days.
Please note, we are in Perth, Western Australia where there is (mostly) zero community transmission of COVID.
To maintain this our borders frequently close!
The dates provided are conditional on social distancing measures remaining lifted for groups meeting indoors.
If these conditions change for further 'lock down' the course dates would be rescheduled.
In the last year Perth has had only 2 lockdowns of 3 days each.
This course is delivered in Perth in a Hotel and the training room will be cleaned every day.
For interstate participants, if border closure were to interrupt your plans,
you will receive a deferral of your course in full, to the next program being scheduled on the east coast.
Conditional on numbers an NLP Practitioner could take place in Sydney in early 2022.
It would also be in the same intensive format.

What More Could You Ask For in a Coaching Course?
Support after you Graduate!
Many people find it hard to ever see a demonstration of coaching again after graduating from their Coaching course. In the first year of professional practice, it is particularly useful to also have practice that reinforces your learnings.
I offer Graduates a Free Monthly Online Coaching Practice Group, on a weekday evening. Here you can observe a coaching session against the ICF competencies, exchange coaching with others and provide and receive feedback from peers, based on the ICF Competencies. Importantly, you are able to have ongoing contact with your Trainer to ask questions that arise once you are 'out there' using your coaching skills.
Current students and Graduates attend for free. Many people stay connected to their class mates from the NLP Course and exchange NLP in practice (peer coaching). We really encourage our Graduates to continue to practice and maintain confidence in their skills and continue to benefit from being able to access NLP Coaching in their life for free. Graduates also join a closed FaceBook Group.
If you are practicing NLP Professionally, you can also access to pay-as-you-go online Supervision.
3 Certificates
Participants will receive an ICF registered Professional Coaching Certificate,
an NLPAA Registered NLP Practitioner certificate
and the iWAM Consultant certificate
NLP Practitioner - provides recognition of attendance of an NLP learning program meeting the requirements of the NLP Association of Australia. All students are issued this certificate on passing their NLP Coaching practical assessment and the written short answer question paper.
Professional Coaching Skills - This is the title of the qualification that is registered with the ICF by The Performance Solution and delivered in Australia under an alliance. This certificate will be issued when all the required elements of the ICF element of the course are completed. This includes 8.5 hours of mentoring and a 20 minute recording as an assessment. Students do not need to wait for this to join as a member of the ICF, they can join once the course commences.
iWAM Consultant - this is recognised by JobEQ, the owner of the Inventory of Work Attitudes and Motivations and authorises you to resell the iWAM profile to your own clients, and conduct individual, pair and team debriefs with the instrument. This is a powerful profiling instrument that is useful for Coaches working in any context (organisational or personal).
How does this relate to the Post Graduate Program?
You can upgrade your qualification to a Post Graduate Certificate Neuro Coaching with a further investment of time and money. This qualification is issued by a UK University and recognised globally. This requires that students go through an in-take process with the University. This pathway is available under Open Learning provisions to adults over 21 who do not already have an undergraduate qualification. It is possible to undertake the course and apply for 'Advanced Standing' after completion if you wish to stagger your investment. Click through here to learn more.
