Our Masters certification in "Modeling Excellence" offers a science-based model for change, and power ful tools for transitions. Create a new life story and learn how to use advanced skills to better manage your business and personal life.

You graduate able to immediately apply your skills and insights to practical issues in your life. You'll also be able to positively influence those near you in the workplace and at home. 

• Is there a relationship you wish to better manage? 
• Is there a high performance skill you want to gain? 
• Are you in transition in your personal or professional life? 
• Want to be a trainer, coach, better manager or leader?  
• Do you want to get and STAY motivated?
  
• Are you ready to focus your creative passion? 

How it works. This is an intensive program. We do in-depth demonstrations and provide extensive training, with weekly practice offered between modules. You also select a focus track in Business, Coaching, Wellness, Creativity, or developing Genius for a project that you present.

In our Practitioner Certification, the focus is on your own patterns of communication - how your habits can block your effectiveness and what you can do about it. 

In the Masters in Modeling, you learn when and how to apply these powerful change techniques with yoursefl and others. You refine your skills in observation, pattern recognition, and how to model excellence.

In addition to new tools, we teach a science-based coherent model of how people form their maps of the world. Once you apprecite this model, you know how to permanently change deeper patterns -- for yourself and others.

The Master Certification demands a greater integration of the principles, techniques and values within yourself, so you can safely, ethically and effectively engage with others to resolve challenges. It's also a necessary step to Trainer Training and Coaching Certification.

In Masters Certification, you build your repertoire of techniques and strengthen your skills in metaphor, interview and trance techniques. Trance is a highly useful accelerated learning state; we emphasize auto-induction, and practice in guiding others. We teach you practical ways to use trance, and you discover the "magic" as you apply those methods! 

You discover how to:

• Model peak performance; adopt the skills you want 
• Improve your relationships -- make authentic connections  
  
• Quickly recognize belief systems (do they block? Or support?) 
  
• Change beliefs that no longer serve your goals
• Use trance for rapid & deep learning
• Make language work for you to influence results
• Utilize new language patterns to get action (sleight of mouth, embedded commands, conversational belief change, nested loops, etc)
  
• Create multi-level communications and embed presuppositions
• Avoid projection; read people & situations accurately
  
• Tap deep sources of inspiration
• Play with your shadow and release trapped energy 
• Choose new criteria to create more meaningful goals
• Use an effective system for decision making & goals
• Bond, build or break rapport when appropriate
  
• Choose the right tools to use when, where, and whith whom!

Our training:

Our principal trainer, Kristin Shannon, is widely acknowledged as an exceptional and experienced leader in the field, who worked directly with the founders and those they modeled. She and Virginia Satir led programs together prior to NLP; she studied with Fritz Perls. In NLP she studied with Leslie Cameron Bandler, David Gordon, Tom Condon, Steve Gilligan, Time Line originator Tad James, Judith de Lozier, Richard Bandler, Robert Dilts, Steve and Connierae Andreas, and Carol Erickson.

At UC Berkeley she graduated in cognitive neuroscience, and studied cross-cultural emotions, with Paul Ekman, the world’s leading expert on facial signals of emotion and truth, and George Lakoff, who dramatically changed our understanding and use of metaphor.

Module 1 - Advanced communications tools. Learn new skills for decisions, goals, living, linking, selling, listening, loving and friendship to apply in your personal and professional life. Make friends with your brain using neuroscience discoveries to get more control over your life and time. On the first day, you get a solid overview of change theory, a model of how people and institutions change – that will apply to design changes for yourself and others.

You learn how to build a powerful new narrative for your life, and how to leverage language, images and metaphor to change your life story. You will also learn ways to improve your relationship with time, and Time Line therapy system. Answer this question: what if your past "story" does not determine your future?

The story of your life is reflected in how you use your time here. That's why we link them together in the core first weekend.

Module 2 - EQ: how do you change your state of mind? What are your most useful states for learning, making decisions, managing people, presentations and projects? How do you shake off a bad mood? How do you enter and stay in those resourceful states exactly when you wish?  What is the structure of motivation that allows you to tap into your passion? What is the source of genius and how do you change not only your IQ, but your emotional quotient? Your EQ is a far more accurate predictor of social and business success!

Module 3 - Masks & Shadows: Creativity, Spirit & Growth. Where does your deep inspiration come from?  What stops you from following through on your goals and choices? Remove blocks, barriers, and old programs that drain your energy; know how to move into confident behavior. Uncover and trust your passion. This weekend includes participation in PSI’s Masks & Shadows event where you learn to identify your outworn masks, and transcend them – gaining skills in intimacy, confidence and strength.

Module 4: Focus on new choices and goals. Decisions, Beliefs, & Timing that works. You put the finishing touches on your new story. This module puts together the powerful new techniques you’ve gained, and shows you how to integrate internal conflicts in your values and beliefs. For those certifying, we complete assessments. We close with a lively “Filter Fiesta” where you cast others to represent values and beliefs that are blocking your goals – and then change them, so you are well-aligned to have the future you want and deserve!
