Feedback from the participants of Ashok's NLP Training courses conducted recently in various cities across India:

I choose to write this report today itself, since the feeling is fresh, and I would want to relive the experience of the past three days! While I have started writing the report, I am not sure whether I will be able to complete it today itself!

Before coming to workshop, I had had the opportunity to read a book on NLP, which left me curious about the concept, and I really looked forward to a LIVE experience of NLP. This workshop offered me with just that. As I am a counsellor by profession, I wanted to achieve two objectives by attending the workshop:

1) Get an answer to my question related to exercising control over consumption of junk food

2) Learning as much as possible about NLP, the various concepts, models etc in it.

Before coming to the workshop, I thought that NLP is about models, techniques and tools. After coming here, I realized that there was much more to it than just techniques; that NLP is more about the study of thoughts, behaviours and distinct characteristics that make things work for some, analyzing and modelling attributes that make some people successful, and a lot more.

Basically, I learnt that NLP is a way of life, and that there is a lot to understand in the working of the mind, that is both exciting and challenging.

The gibberish meditation, acting like animals, enacting several emotions followed by lying down and then dancing was very relaxing, and it helped me visualize my purpose in life a lot better. The experience of visualizing the future and living it in the present made my goal seem much closer, and much more achievable than before.

The concept of modelling another person without analyzing why he/she might be doing so
helped me empathize with the person in a far more effective way, by literally moving around in the world in his/her shoes.

I was fortunate to be the subject during the explanation of the Parts Integration model. While the model by itself has intrigued me, it would be special to me because it helped me deal with an issue that has been bothering me for quite a while.

The other models were equally interesting, and I’m lucky to be equipped with such priceless tools for additional use in therapy. Observing the energy levels, body language and expressions of fellow-participants of the workshop has further enhanced my experience.

Before coming for the workshop, you told me that each subject is different, and that a
combination of tools and models are essential in helping an individual deal with his issue. And I understood this very well with the way in which the various issues of fellow participants were addressed.

I firmly believe that in life, nothing happens out of turn. The reason why I was able to be part of this program is because it was time for me to welcome you in my life. And it was indeed a brilliant experience. I thank you wholeheartedly for giving me an opportunity to learn so much from you, and being ever-willing to answer any and all sorts of questions and giving us all an extremely meaningful experience. Thank you once again! (I managed to complete the report today itself, after all! )

NLP was aimed to train my conscious mind but the learning experience has touched my soul. Ashok has done a wonderful job and been a genuine and a patient facilitator to take us through this journey. NLP expanded my mind and made me realize that I needed to think out of the box (which I normally do at workfront), but never did it at home with my kids ..I am thinking of new and interesting ways to parent my sons. It taught me through experiences of others and self to be clear and to be myself to have the right outcome in life..

I saw quite a few members in the group releasing their emotions and it only went out to tell that I was not alone and that people have their own battles to fight and taught me perseverance, courage and to not hold back and let go. The last day I had a small discussion with Ashok informally which has given me a greater understanding as to why I am the way I am and how I can better myself and my life. I always doubt the future and success..AND I am determined to force my mind and condition it to think more positively...

I for sure know that this course is very effective for "leaders to be " plus it helps the weak people to realise their strengths and erase their misconceptions about not being able to voice out. NLP has helped in bending such weak minds and making them strong.....we had a beautiful experience of this through a group member again in class..

Ashok is warm, hostile and receptive to the group and this quality made us all receptive to him....Personally for me I have picked up a lot of flexibility in thoughts as I am very scared to explore always ...

I look forward to do the next level in NLP for sure and I need to grow more..the journey has just begun .

Thank you, Ashok!

Your method of training was totally thought provoking. I felt upbeat, strong and so positive. Your numerous stories with the right messages and appropriate timings were real eye openers. It was a whole lot of learning added to a whole lot of fun. I would definitely want to be like the man in the desert and stay on the path of NLP. Your unique style and down to earth attitude was easy to relate to.

My gratitude and best wishes to you for doing such a splendid job, of training people to excel.

These three days of NLP Training was a good experience overall. I met some interesting people and got to know more about my own mind.

I have become more aware about my thinking patterns. I’m observing people, their behavior, noticing lot of people who think their map is other’s territory, finding lot of examples on deletions, generalizations and distortions in communication. Trying to see excellence around and model some of it.

Ashok's training style is very informal and very interesting. He connects easily with people and laughs like a child which I liked the most.

I’m glad to be a part of the training. I would like to improve on NLP from here and would seek some support from you as and when needed. I definitely want to learn NLP more as I find it useful in everyday life.

"It was really a fascinating experience to attend your two day programme at Hyderabad. Ashok is a wonderful coach who knows how to put into the minds of people what they want. Your approach was unique, you started the programme in such a style and how the two days went on was really thrilling. Your flow of knowledge in not only NLP but in other areas was tremendous. You have tons of energy in you. Even a lay man can understand what is NLP with your mode of teaching. You know how to induce the material into our brains. You know how to probe into our problems and solve them without even our noticing. I have attended several HRD lectures, but you are unique. Your conducting the practical exercises was really good that you area a good demonstrator.

I really feel transformed in my approach. I was looking at things afresh and trying to see things differently, especially observing people in a new perspective. Earlier my approach was as per my maps, now I am trying to understand their language, their maps and I am able to compare with mine and act. My earlier approach was reaction with my maps, but not anymore. Hope to continue and gain much from the new maps given by you. Thank You".

My learning from the NLP workshop has been as follows: There are many explanations of NLP, each is like a beam of light shining from a different angle, picking out the whole shape and shadow of the subject. NLP studies how we structure our subjective experience - how we think about our values and beliefs and how we create our emotional states and construct our internal world from our experience and give it meaning. No event has meaning in itself, we give it meaning, and different people may give the same event different meanings. So, NLP studies experience from the inside. NLP is more than just a collection of techniques. It is also a way of thinking, a frame of mind based on curiosity, exploration and fun. *NLP is whatever works*

NLP brings about self-development and change. First you use it to work on yourself to become the person you really want to be and can be. NLP is not about fixing other people and neglecting yourself. “Put your own mask on first.'I’ factor” An outcome is not the same as a task. An outcome is what you want, A task is what you have to do to achieve it. Don't do tasks until you set your outcomes, Problems cannot be solved unless you have an outcome.

Change is a journey from an unsatisfactory present state towards a desired state – your outcome.

Problem Thinking: Problems are difficult because the very act of thinking about them makes us feel bad and therefore less resourceful. We do not think as clearly so it is harder to think of a solution.Problem thinking makes the problem even harder to solve “Let Go “ Factor is the best factor which I have learnt in the session and majority of my stress related challenges were addressed , and the training delivery in "Story telling Model" by Ashok was inimitable Thank you Ashok and Jessica .

I was always interested to know the real NLP as I had a bad introduction to it and that was one of the motivation factors to attend the training. I must count myself lucky that I also had the chance to talk to Ashok Sir more than the participants - courtesy my accommodation. As we had discussed during the event, my health was a factor I wanted to improve and Ashok Sir made me realize that I was the reason for my own health and made me realize that I had been avoiding the signs from my body. Guess my mind was given utmost importance and the body received almost none.

Though Ashok Sir scared the life out of me by saying that I might end up losing my voice, thanks to Jessi who made me realize that it was meant to make me take notice of the potential danger that could arise in the future. Post the training, I have done just 2 days of training as I decided to take a break and spend some time with my family. I've been praying 5 times a day everyday and after every prayer I practise the yoga technique taught to me by my gym instructor to strengthen my back. I also do deep breathing where I try not to think of nothing but absolute silence. It makes me feel much better and refreshed. On a lighter vein, It has also made me sleep well at times.

I really admire the approach Ashok Sir used in the session where he took the example of the participants and thereby explained concepts. Now I'm able to recollect the concepts as I remember Poonam(for an example) participating in the associate / dissociate concept and others too. I also appreciate the way Ashok Sir handled the problem makers and turned them into learners on day two.

I think I'd fail my feedback duty if I dont mention two books - the one given by Ashok Sir on NLP Secrets and the other gifted to me by Jessi - From where you are to where you want to be. The NLP secrets book is one of the simplest ways to explain NLP and I'm in love with it. I'm sure I'll be reading it quite a lot of times in the near future. Its a treasure. And the other book - Jessi, I really dont know how to say thank you, its sort of a wonderful feeling reading it, especially when I actually do the exercises in it. Thanks a tonne to the both of you again. In the near future, I'd love to learn advanced stages of NLP from Ashok Sir. Regarding the venue, quality of the materials etc, no complaints what so ever.

I must also mention the effort of Sajan Sir (not to flatter you Sir), you've always taught me many things through your actions. Your well preparedness and foresight are things I saw for myself during my stay at Hyderabad and I'm thankful to you for being the person i look up to.

"Two days of NLP were like an eyeopener, an experience, which transcended me to a realm of perpetual sunshine where all the haze was dispelled. It was like being pulled out from a slimy swamp and dipped in a clear, clean water. The sheer change of view and angle of looking at things can bring so much clarity in vision and thoughts is amazing. All thanks to Ashok and Jessica who introduced us to this vehicle of thought. Many cobwebs which were hindering clear vision and thoughts were removed."

The concepts of 'outcome state', 'filters', 'clean language', 'setting realistic goals' and commitment to them are all so familiar but seldom imbibed at a conscious level by us. Your subtle way of delivering the whole concept, bringing everyone at a comfort zone, where emotional flow and sharing becomes so easy was all very mesmerizing. By end of the second day sessions I felt I knew all those people inside out.

Thanks to you all for all this enriching experience, I look forward to more interaction on the subject and experiential exchange with you and your team. My sincere regards and best wishes to team UNOVA on their journey of transforming lives!"
