If you’ve got this far, chances are you already know what learning NLP can do for you.
Just in case – here’s what you need to know.
What Is NLP, Really?
At its heart, Neuro Linguistic Programming is about understanding how people tick, how we think, feel, act, and respond. It’s not just a toolkit, it’s a structured way of noticing the patterns that shape our behaviour and learning how to shift them using proven NLP techniques.
Whether you’re trying to become a better leader, communicator, or parent, or just manage stress more effectively, NLP coaching helps you understand what’s going on beneath the surface, in both yourself and others.
Some call it a “how-to” manual for the human mind. We call it the human bit of business that too often gets lost in today’s screen-based, fast-paced world.
At Change Working, we offer NLP training, NLP therapy, and bespoke coaching programmes for both personal and professional growth, from accredited certification courses to tailored in-house sessions.
Why Learn NLP?
Everyone can benefit from NLP, but here’s where it really shines:
- Small business teams looking to improve leadership, communication, or culture.
- Customer-facing roles, where reading people and building rapport is key.
- Organisations tackling high staff turnover, stress, or poor internal communication.
- Anyone who wants to better understand themselves, overcome limiting habits, or boost confidence.
Whether you want to connect more meaningfully with others or change the way you handle pressure, NLP techniques give you the tools to adapt, grow, and thrive.
What Makes Change Working Different?
Alan’s approach to NLP training is practical, real-world, and rooted in British culture. No standing on chairs, no “power pose” clichés. Just straightforward, highly effective NLP language strategies shaped around how people actually work.
With over 40 years' experience across public, private, and voluntary sectors, Alan delivers training that connects. Every course is adapted to suit the individuals in the room. You’re not just learning theory, you’re practicing, applying, and making it stick.
“We don’t just teach NLP. We show you how to live it, use it, and see the results.”
Every course begins with a conversation. What do you want to improve? Where are the pain points? Whether it’s communication, recruitment, wellbeing, or leadership, we tailor the course to fit.
You can choose a certified NLP Practitioner course, or we can design something bespoke for your team. Whether you're focusing on emotional intelligence, client rapport, or workplace culture, we align with your goals.
Our NLP coaching and training is hands-on, interactive, and spaced out over time – so you can absorb and apply it properly. We run in-person sessions across North Yorkshire, often in blocks or weekend formats.
For those wanting long-term culture change, we offer extended partnerships and embedded training. That means fewer quick fixes, more lasting impact.
