Methodology and Tools
Although all courses are bespoke to the organisations we are working with, we do create these from a number of building blocks and underpinning models.
It is our intention, only to use theory that can be easily understood and applied as soon as individuals leave the course.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming
NLP is the study of the structure of how people do things, usually focusing on the exemplary skills individuals have in order to enable others to learn how to do the skill themselves. This has left behind it a trail of techniques and processes.
At Mount Severn we use NLP techniques and processes to enhance to personal effectiveness of individuals and organisations, including creating well-defined goals, improving communication skills and reducing limiting beliefs and behaviours.
