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 and is included in this package to support Coaches to have a profiling tool in their toolkit.
- 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.

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 exchange coaching with others and provide and receive feedback from peers and have ongoing contact with your Trainer, or another experienced Coach 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 Course and exchange 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 Coaching in their life for free. Graduates also join a closed FaceBook Group.
If you are practicing Professionally, you can also access to pay-as-you-go online Supervision with Grace Minton. Grace is one of only three people in Australia with a recognised qualification in NLP and Coaching Supervision.
3 Certificates
Participants will receive an ICF registered Professional Coaching Certificate,
an NLPAA Registered NLP Practitioner certificate
