Archetypes
Learn to coach around identity, beliefs and values.
In this module we look at archetypes not from a profiling angle - but from NLP, asking: What universal patterns of identity, motivation, beliefs and values are operating here?
The Hero’s Journey
The Hero's Journey looks at story-telling, dominant narratives, and asks: Where am I in my journey of change? Are you in the world of the mundane? On the threshold? In the denial of the call to adventure?
The Hero's Journey helps your clients develop empowering narratives, and understand the universality of their lives.

Beautiful safe space to express ourselves
I can be quite introverted, but Nina created this beautiful space during our coaching and NLP training where we felt safe to express our thoughts and feelings freely and as such we grew together, celebrated each other and had formed deep friendships by the end of the course. I didn't want it to end!
I wasn’t sure what to expect as the coaching and NLP training was all online, but I needn’t of worried as Nina has such mastery at making every individual of the group feel seen, heard and valued.

A life-time self-improvement toolkit
I was intrigued by Nina’s boutique-type training offering, as I would polish my Coaching skills, I was using as an executive and as a consultant, in the business world. At a time where there was plenty of uncertainty (Covid) and I felt overwhelmed, I got: A lifetime self-improvement toolkit, an upgraded mindset, some significant shadow work integration (ongoing), purposeful steps in work related evolution and life itself.
The Diploma in Coaching and NLP Master course is brilliantly designed. Nina connects the dots as you learn & practice in tandem. In the process you add a definite layer of experiential sophistication from a skilful field Teacher.
