Until you make the subconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.

DR. CARL JUNG

Is your coaching truly effective..?

Most programs totally ignore the subconscious mind.

Did you know…

E

Most traditional coaching methods—even ICF-aligned ones—don’t engage the subconscious mind, where lasting change actually happens

E

Most coaches focus only on the conscious mind and linear action steps, rarely addressing the inner blocks that keep clients stuck.

E

Our in-depth approach works directly with the subconscious to clear those hidden inner blocks and deliver profound, life-changing transformation.

E

We help clients discover and align with their true values—their deepest motivators—leading to authentic fulfillment and real change.

E

True transformation can happen in minutes when you know how to use results-oriented subconscious coaching methods.

What does this mean for you?

By integrating subconscious coaching into your practice, you can:

N

Deliver coaching that addresses root causes, not just surface symptoms

N

Stand out with an approach that goes beyond traditional methods

N

Help clients gain control over their internal processes, for greater productivity and effectiveness

N

Master skills that dramatically accelerate client breakthroughs

“NLP is an incredibly effective and enjoyable way to access more of the true potential of your brain.”

TONY ROBBINS

This was by far one of the best trainings I’ve attended. I am so happy that I chose this course with Jack and Evelyn! They offer so much excellent information and teach practical skills so that one can apply this knowledge to their own practice, or just use these skills in their everyday life. The both of them are so knowledgeable and do a great job at balancing each other in the instruction.

You won’t just collect more tools.

You’ll develop the real-world perceptual skill, flexibility, and embodied capacity that turn good knowledge into rapid, lasting client breakthroughs—even in challenging situations.

NLP is an incredibly effective and enjoyable way to access more of the true potential of your brain.

NLP techniques are the best processes for creating fast and long-lasting change in your life. Many other systems are good at discovering problems but don’t give you tools for painless, fast change.

TAD JAMES, PHD

NLP cannot be dismissed as just another hustle. Its theoretical underpinnings represent an ambitious attempt to codify and synthesize the insights of linguistics, body language, and the study of communication systems.

PSYCHOLOGY TODAY

NLP provides a way to look past the behavioral content of what people do to the more invisible forces behind those behaviors; to the structures of thought that allow people to perform effectively.

MORE DETAILS:

How is our immersive training different from traditional learning methods?

In general, most standard education consists largely of a lot of “what”. Simply memorize and regurgitate the info and you pass the course. That is most definitely NOT the way to learn the art and science of hypnotherapy and subconscious coaching.

In contrast, we consider your unique learning style and provide you with a good balance of “what”, “how”, “why” and “what if”.

Learning with us is a unique opportunity to receive maximum one-on-one interaction with top-level instructors (similar to the renowned “Tutorial Method”, pioneered at the University of Oxford), enrich your mind in new and engaging ways, and experience a huge, positive shift!

Research shows that adults learn best in real-world, immersive settings with immediate feedback.

Experiential learning is a well-known model in education. It builds skills, confidence, and gives you the opportunity to practice. It also develops attitudes such as curiosity, a willingness to experiment, and self-direction.

Being hands-on is crucial when learning hypnotherapy and subconscious coaching because it allows you to engage in kinesthetic learning while also having access to real-time coaching and feedback as you learn.


OTHER IMMERSIVE LEARNING BENEFITS:

It Enhances Your Learning and Retention

Immersive learning offers significantly higher retention rates. Imagine remembering up to 75% of what you learn compared to just 10% with traditional methods. Our immersive training deeply engages you with the material, making it stick much better through real-world simulations. You get to engage in hands-on practice, make decisions, and receive immediate feedback. This helps you build momentum and retain information more effectively.

It Boosts Your Engagement and Motivation

Our training is interactive and engaging, keeping you motivated and focused. Learning is made fun and memorable, enhancing your involvement and ensuring lasting impressions. You get to practice in a controlled, risk-free setting, allowing you to learn from mistakes without real-world consequences. This boosts your confidence and competence, turning errors into valuable learning moments.

It Speeds Up Your Skill Building

Instead of spreading your learning over many months, our immersive format helps you pick up and refine new skills quickly. Regular, intensive practice sessions reinforce new skills and habits more effectively than occasional sessions spread out over time. This hands-on approach bridges the gap between theory and practice, ensuring you’re ready to apply what you’ve learned in no time.

Overall, our immersive training program supercharges your growth and makes learning exciting. It’s the ultimate way to boost your skills and reach your goals faster and more effectively than you ever thought possible.

Get ready to see transformative results in weeks, not months or years!

How does our training schedule compare to traditional schedules?
Our clear, condensed schedule requires a short-term, intensive commitment with several dedicated blocks of no more 3–4 days each week. Each of those days consists of four 90-minute sessions.

This approach minimizes long-term disruptions (see comparisons below) to your personal and professional routines, helping you achieve your goals up to 7 times faster and more effectively than a year-long course with weekly classes.

It’s a big time-saver, so you can fully dedicate your energy and attention to the training, making the most of your time.
