Previous 2012 Course Details

This 2 day event hosted by Auspicium in Hertfordshire, gives you the opportunity to learn the approaches that make up the Provocative Change Works™ and classic Provocative Therapy strategies as created by Frank Farrelly.

These skills are highly effective in personal development, therapeutic intervention, coaching and business contexts. There will be lots of interactions and the teaching will focus on developing skills and how to integrate these skills into measurable and practical outcomes.

Here are some of the things we will be learning during these two days:

• Identifying and utilizing the first 26 Provocative Icon cards for accelerated provocative change
• Exploring the "Full Representation Hypnotic Inductions" to change client "stuck states" to fluid states
• Time Framing client sessions – how to create a future client session while working in the "here and now"
• Practising the PCW exercises to develop multi-level sensory awareness and exquisite state control during client sessions
• Learning the art of improvised and creative interactions, for accelerated results in coaching, therapeutic and business situations
• Working one on one with Nick Kemp as demonstration subject (limited opportunities due to time considerations)
• Exploring Provocative Change Works(tm) and Provocative Therapy from an NLP perspective and how the creators of NLP were influenced by Farrelly's work.

Here are the possible benefits from learning these skills

• Become a more eloquent conversational communicator
• Master the art of effective multi layered communication both verbally and non verbally
• Think in creative new ways to produce better outcomes for yourself and others
• Develop the confidence and fluidity to make you a more effective persuader
• Define and use time better for highly effective business outcomes
• Create and use metaphors to stimulate invaluable new ways of problem solving for both yourself and others
