NLP Training by Richard Bolstad, Summer in Japan
Dr Richard Bolstad's International NLP Practitioner certification in Japan is divided into 4 Trainings. Usually three of these will run each year (Keys to Success plus two others). Keys to Success is an introductory weekend course, and is the prerequisite for the other three courses. The other three courses can be taken in any order. The Master Practitioner course is similarly divided into four sections. The first is Transforming Communication, the only course at Master Practitioner level which is open to non-Practitioners. The other three sections of the NLP Master Practitioner course are Mastering Training, Mastering Healing and Mastering Language.
Richard's courses in Japan are taught in English and translated into Japanese as they are taught. The handouts are available in both English and Japanese. His book RESOLVE: A New Model of Therapy is available in Japanese from Shunjusha publishers.
"From the perspective of someone who is a teacher of neuroscience the contents of Richard’s trainings fitted very well. This course alone is worth more than a million yen!" - Nishi Takeyuki (西 剛志) Medical Science Teacher

The Inside story: 2011 NLP Colloquium: an Advanced Weekend with Dr Richard Bolstad, Kyoto 10-11 September, 2011 (Saturday-Sunday)
Contact Francis Bolstad to enrol.
Enrolment is open to those who have completed NLP Practitioner Training and are familiar with Dr Richard Bolstad's work. Some experience working with clients as a coach or counsellor is preferred. At the colloquium you will have the chance to observe Richard working with clients and to discuss his work at an advanced level. You will share in a group of highly skilled NLP Practitioners and advance you skill with NLP.
If you've trained with Richard Bolstad you know that he is processing ideas from across the spectrum of NLP and not caught in one particular school. Richard is travelling around the world meeting with other NLP trainers and sharing the latest ideas and processes every year. They are also studying the latest brain research, and research from other models of personal development, and making new links from this new infor...mation to their NLP work each year. What you learned from Richard Bolstad 6 years ago is not the same material as he is teaching now, and you have also evolved so that you can take much deeper learnings from a meeting with him. What if you could meet with Richard in a small, more informal group, free from the requirements of NLP basic certification trainings, and ask all the questions you wanted to ask? What if you could observe demonstrations by Richard’s latest work and analyse those from the position of an expert?
This year's course will focus on The Wheel of Change, a new model developed by Richard. The Wheel of Change is a model Richard adapted from Social Change theory, for use with individual clients. It's a step beyond RESOLVE! In it's original social change form it explains why, at different times in a social change process, we need social auditors, revolutionaries, alternative creators and liberals. These people usually disapprove of each other because they don't see that each style of action is useful at a different step in the process of social change. In the same way, Solution focused coaches, Provocative therapists, Cognitive Behaviouralists and Ericksonian therapists are all doing NLP-like change work, but often disapprove of each other's emphasis.
Instead of thinking of the process of change as being about the sequence of steps the Practitioner uses (as RESOLVE and almost all other models of coaching do) the Wheel of Change thinks of change as being a result of the cycle of action that the client takes as they move from first noticing that there is an incongruity in their life, to opposing that, to creating a new model of how they will be, to integrating that new way into their life. At different times in this cycle, the client needs to take different approaches to their life events, and the Practitioner can use different styles of helping to most effectively guide them. Often a client finds one particular quadrant of the change process more challenging. If the Practitioner is limited by their own preference in this cycle, they will have difficulty with clients who are stuck at another stage of change than the one they are focused on.
