What You’ll Learn (intro)
By the end of the week you’ll have a clear set of NLP skills you can use immediately - for yourself and with others.
Identity & Self-Image (Who you are)
Optimize your identity and self-image patterns so your behavior naturally follows.
Beliefs & Habits (What you do)
Shift limiting beliefs into empowering beliefs.
Break unhelpful habits and install more useful behaviors.
How the Mind Works
(The Blueprint)
Understand how thinking really works and learn The Blueprint of the brain.
Past, Memory & Emotional Charge
(Where you’ve been)
Recode the way traumas and difficult memories are stored so the emotional charge drops.
Work with fears and phobias (e.g., spiders, public speaking) and other stuck emotional responses.
Relate to your past in a useful way — instead of being controlled by it.
Future Direction (Where you’re going)
Build a compelling vision and clear target for the life you want - and the person you really want to become.
Get clear steps to move from where you are now to where you want to be.
Get clear on how to become the best version of yourself.
Hypnosis & Timeline Work
(Deep change tools)
Combine NLP with hypnosis for deeper, more powerful transformation work.
Powerful alone. Transformational together.
Conversational Change
(How you help others)
Create change through language: ask sharper questions, guide shifts, and lead conversations.
Learn how to run effective change work conversationally.
And much more… tailored to the group - all taught through live demos.
All techniques are taught as educational models of change and optimization. This training is experiential and educational.
A proven session framework you can use immediately with clients, friends, and yourself - no guesswork, just effective application.
Set of Change Processes & Techniques
A comprehensive set of change techniques you can run confidently across contexts - backed by real practice.
Dual Perspective Experience

Official Certification
Your Licensed Practitioner of NLP™ certification, signed in ink by Dr. Richard Bandler, John La Valle, and Jimmy van der Ham.
What is NLP?
NLP is educational in nature - it teaches you how to run your own brain more effectively.
NLP is a methodology to map human behavior: the strategies that produce results. NLP originally modeled what works in excellent communicators and change workers, and it teaches you how to apply those successful patterns for yourself - and with others.
At its core, NLP is about personal freedom. Most of what runs our thoughts and emotions happens unconsciously. NLP trains those unconscious patterns, so the responses you want and desire become as automatic as the old ones used to be.
Every technique follows a precise three-step learning sequence designed to move skills from understanding into real-world ability:
1. Explain
You learn the structure, purpose, and key principles of each technique.
2. Demonstrate
Jimmy demonstrates the technique live with someone in the room, so you see it in action.
3. Practice
You practice as both practitioner and client, so the skill becomes natural and usable under pressure.
Because of the small group (max 8), you get real-time feedback, high repetition practice, and direct attention to your skill development.
"If you're not having fun, you're not doing NLP." – Dr. Richard Bandler
Expect high energy, lots of laughter, and precise learning throughout the week.
