NLP Training near Bangalore

My experience with Ashok's NLP Training is mind-blowing. I have attended trainings and workshops in closed rooms, but this is quite unconventional. The ambience was very lively and informal. I realized that NLP broke almost all my beliefs.

The best part was trekking and field work. Literally, we were lost in trekking but yet had a wonderful time. It was adventurous. It’s incredible that I learnt to plough, harvest and weeding as well in 3 days. I wish I could have spent some more days there.

I learnt how to unlearn my beliefs. NLP helped me to unveil the underlying patterns of my behaviour, thoughts and emotions. The result is I am more conscious and aware now.

The venue near Thali forest area, bangalore is pollution free and eco-friendly. I realized that the climate, environment and food made my body and mind completely rejuvenated during the 3 days of stay. I would say the residents here are legends. Their perception and clarity about life is amazing. The clarity of these forward thinkers makes them to spout their ideals effortlessly.

Ashok’s innate capability of questioning one’s belief is incredible. He never gives me an answer, rather intensifies the question and would bring the answer from me. His training was in-depth in such a way that he made me to analyze my beliefs at its micro level.

NLP has changed me a lot. I feel that I just started learning about me and others. I believe that knowing each and every associate’s pulse is a quality of a leader. NLP has taught me how to do that effectively now. To hone my leadership skills I still need an enormous support from Ashok, and that would only happen if I disturb him a lot.

Ashok, Thank you very much for this opportunity. Kudos for choosing such a wonderful place for NLP Training. I feel that there is a long way to go to excel in NLP. So, would love to attend your forthcoming sessions in other venues.

Ashok's NLP program has made my thinking clear about what is life and how I should live that in a happy and satisfactory way.

My key learnings from this NLP course are

1.I learnt how to learn others view by entering into their shoes.
2.I am clear now that I should not insist my views on others.
3.When I am in a group discussion , if the point shared to me by trainer was not clear ,then I can ask him directly without feeling inferiority complex. My way to ask him is in such a way, it should not make him to feel that I interrupt during the discussion , but to make him still involved in sharing the point with me.
4. To utilize the present and do it for the moment.
5. Now I am conscious and aware about the things that I do.

I have never seen such a beautiful place in my life before. A very good place ,which brings me close to nature and after seeing the people of this place, I learnt to live my life for myself with full satisfaction.

Ashok's style of NLP training is easy to understand ,short and simple - “A crystal clear mode of training”.

Plz inform me, about the venue and date of your next NLP program, so that I can attend the program to make myself still more experienced in NLP and it will be useful for me to become a NLP trainer like you.

Ashok Anna, I will never forget the word “In what way” in my life. I cannot express the feeling of my happiness in words.

NLP Training near Mumbai / Pune

My experience with Ashok's NLP workshop (Mumbai) was a great learning experience as I un-learned and re-learned quite a few vital things about myself. The informal way in which the interactions happened outside the classes, yoga sessions in mornings, and an outing with nature - away from the trappings of a Mumbai city hotel atmosphere helped me unwind during the weekend.

I learnt

• To accept myself as a unique person possessing skill sets that are unique to me – this helped me improve my confidence.

• There is nothing “Right” or “Wrong” in any situation – it is the experience that matters and how the experience is perceived by different individuals. I changed my approach and this helped me reduce my stress levels

• To associate my emotions with my “wants” – this helped me sustain enthusiasm and happiness for longer sessions than earlier occasions

• That when I choose the “right set of words” for internal and external communications, I can create my own happiness, enthusiasm and passion for life and work

I am still learning on a daily basis practicing the above inputs and hence my NLP journey continues…….

I enjoyed the outing with nature - away from the trappings of a “Mumbai city hotel” atmosphere. Facilities for stay and food in the wellness resort were decent.

I liked Ashok’s passion for NLP training, style of communication – no nonsense approach, crisp talk, feel-good factor even after he gave me a critical feedback – and his genuine interest to help me develop. He ensured 100% active participation from class shedding all their inhibitions.

Ashok, I am really happy that we met and I gained invaluable lessons about myself. The learning from your NLP Workshop could not have been replaced easily with reading books. It is my hope that we continue to be in touch and mutually benefit each other.

You are currently doing a great job and there is no question that there is greater success awaiting you. And when you reach there, do not change. I like your humility, concept of effortless living, sincerity to help others, and eagerness to learn and reflect.

NLP Training (Mumbai) with Ashok was certainly helpful in understanding how the NLP concepts can be applied. Reading about NLP and being part of this NLP workshop are two very different experiences. The applied  NLP component has now made reading about NLP more meaningful.

I have learnt to
* Pay attention to the words as they run through my minds.
* Mindfulness – in thought word and deed
* I have always taught people to appreciate others points of view. Somehow I never bothered to check if I was doing the same. In this regard, the program was an eye-opener

The wellness resort between Mumbai & Pune was beautiful and gave a good setting for the NLP Training.

I THINK Ashok is very unassuming. That has worked in this situation. I am just wondering if my acceptance of his ideas would have been quicker if his initial impression was a little more sophisticated. I think that just reflects my prejudice again. So I guess even the persona of Ashok has acted as a challenge for me. It took me a while to stop wondering whether he is actually good, and start paying attention to his work.

This course has helped not just in sorting out personal issues but also in understanding NLP a little more. Any further program will definitely take this learning further.

ALL THE BEST!! KEEP ROCKING!!!

NLP Training near Kochi, Kerala

Ashok's NLP Workshop (Kerala) for me was a Life changing program giving a new dimensional thinking of tapping the conscious and unconscious potential within me. I also learnt about how to learn about others from their point of view.

Fisherman Village venue near Kochi was altogether different giving a unique & memorable experience.

Ashok is very cool, calm and his mind is thinking very deeply-Able to tap the unconscious mind or signals. He Keeps every one on the program guessing by bringing new people every day, which was interesting. I like his way of sharing his own experience, participating and teaching, which made me to participate with involvement. While reading the given NLP book after the course, I was surprised to find that the topics were covered already in the program

I want to participate in future NLP programs of next level after 3-4 months.

Ashok's method of NLP training was excellent. He can understand various needs of people and train them according to their requirements.

You can further support me with new NLP materials. Thank you very much for making your time available for me all your feedbacks. I really appreciate it.

NLP Training near Kottayam, Kerala

Dear Ashok

Hearty congratulations for conducting such a beautiful NLP programme and I am sure the experience was enriching and help me to excel my self as a better faculty member.

Your NLP programme introduced me to whole lot of new concepts such as related to thinking process (Neuro), how we can be effective by understanding the Language in all together different ways and modeling as a concept for excellence – Programming.

I feel that I can be more connected now with my trainees by knowing my thinking as well as their thinking process. I have now learnt to become a facilitator to open up the minds of the participants than be a solution finder to their issues of concern.

The Hill Palace was ideal for such training programme. It was far from the maddening crowd and I could feel the serenity of the place an all together new experience. I feel that there could not be any better place than this. Kudos to you, for selecting such idyllic environment. I am sure that the ayurvedic based food preparations have contributed in a big way in understanding the nuances of NLP in a better way

Your style of NLP training was very friendly and free flowing like a meandering river and for adults it was a congenial way of learning.

I feel that few NLP exercises in the book particular the questionnaire to identify our filters would have greatly enhanced the utility of the programme. I am going to attempt the NLP exercises independently and get back to you if required.

I will keep in touch with you as and when I feel the need for it.

I am delighted and privileged to have attended the programme on Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and look to improve myself as a faculty member.

With personal regards

Yours sincerely

NLP Training near New Delhi

My experience on the NLP Training (New Delhi) with Ashok was self enriching. This NLP Training gave me a lot of insight into my own thinking and behavior patterns. I have learnt that by changing the mere question, new choices crop up changing the dimensions of problems. It was demonstrated to me that NLP modeling works as a very powerful tool to imbibe wanted behaviors of others. I have also realized that in my relationship with my husband I was wanting to be "rescued" all the time which would eventually put strain on this relationship. I was also made aware about my "preferred" way of thinking.

I think Saharanpur Jungle Resort was an excellent choice of venue, though comfort-wise a lot more was desired. The helpful and friendly nature of the staff made up for the want of better facilities.The food was wholesome and fresh.

I think Ashok had total command over the group in the NLP programme...he was facilitating very well....and taking the entire group along this journey of excellence...without leaving anybody behind. He was refraining from giving any easy answers....just provoking me ....to look for answers within myself, with a fresh approach. I think he is extremely well versed with Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and is applying it very well.

I would like to continue on this NLP discovery and would like to further this journey through some more NLP courses. I would like to be informed of further NLP courses.
