You probably already know that I'm a big fan of hypnosis. I've been studying & using hypnosis for many years, & have established Salad as the world's leading source of products for developing hypnotic language skills. But there's something which I haven't mentioned before.

I've never been formally trained as a hypnotist or hypnotherapist!

I've been fortunate to learn from many amazing hypnotists, & I've picked up tons of great stuff on NLP courses & from books. But I still felt that there was a gap in my knowledge, understanding & hypnotic skill.

And while that's OK, I started to realise that if I was going to be working in this field, it would be a good idea for me to get some formal training in hypnosis. So I started searching for someone who could teach me things about hypnosis I didn't already know. I'm sure you can sympathise.

• I wanted to learn from someone who's a true master in their field. There are many people who claim to be masters of hypnosis, but I wanted to find someone who is truly amazing, & could teach me things I didn't already know.

• I thought it was time to get unshakeable confidence in my ability to help people with hypnosis. While I'm great at getting people into a trance, I've never been formally trained in what to do with them while they're in there. As a result, I've come up with my own techniques & methods, but I wanted to learn what works from a master hypnotist.

• I knew there must be more ways to continue using the power of hypnosis in my own life. I wanted to learn from someone who really had something new to say.

• I wanted to discover cool techniques & approaches that only the pros know. Let me explain. I've never officially worked as a hypnotist or hypnotherapist, & while I use hypnosis all the time on my trainings & with private clients, I really felt there must be 'tricks of the trade' that I didn't have.

• I wanted to take my skills with Ericksonian hypnosis to the next level. I continue to be astonished & delighted by the approaches of Milton Erickson, & I felt it was time for me to get even more training in how to use them.
  

So I started searching for a teacher. I looked throughout the UK & couldn't find who I was looking for, but then I heard of an American trainer called Michael Watson. Michael is virtually unknown in the UK, but in the USA he's much more well-known. Why? Because he's been training people in NLP & Ericksonian Hypnosis for the past 15 years, & has been working as a hypnotherapist for 25 years. Not only that, but Michael's been involved in the human potential movement since the early 1970s; the list of 'greats' he's trained with reads like a "Who's Who" of the consciousness movement, & includes Richard Bandler, John Grinder, Judith DeLozier, Steve and Connirae Andreas, Robert Dilts, Stephen Gilligan, Charles Faulkner, David Dobson, David Gordon, Todd Epstein - he's even trained with Timothy Leary & Ram Dass!

"Michael's gentle and engaging style makes learning the joyful adventure it ought to be!"
Tom Dotz, President, NLP Comprehensive

 
I listened to a recording of Michael teaching, & I knew I'd found my trainer.

But then I thought, "Why go all the way to the USA when you could train with Michael in the UK?". Why not bring this amazing hypnosis trainer here to the UK, & share him with my Salad readers & clients in the UK? So I asked him "What would have to happen for you to come & train with Salad here in the UK?"

To cut a long story short, Michael agreed to come to the UK in 2007 to run his complete 8-day program in contemporary hypnosis to a select group of Salad clients. I'm delighted to be able to tell you that after the success of the 2007 and 2008 trainings Michael is returning to deliver the training again in 2009 for another select group of Salad clients.

Successful completion of this course meets the requirements for certification through the American Board of Hypnotherapy and the International Association of Counselors and Therapists.

The "where" is at our new training venue the Hinckley Island Hotel in Hinckley, Leciestershire, just 90 minutes drive from London

The when is the 5th - 12th May, 2009

The how much is up to you!

Let me explain. I've spent tens of thousands of pounds developing my skills, but I'm going to offer them to you and 23 other people (only 24 people will get a space on this training, & I'm one of them!) for the price of just £1997 + VAT (a total of £2346.48).

One of the great things about having this number of people on the training is that every person has the opportunity to get personal coaching on their skills and personal objectives from Michael. Many people who have attended Salad trainings have found the personal work justified their investment by itself. The fact that they got all the skills and learnings on the curriculum as well just increased their level of happiness with what they received.

We're going to be recording this workshop, so I'm keen to ensure a full house. For this reason, I'm going to go one step further and offer a SUPER early bird discount of £300. You can save £300 and pay the low price of just £1697 + VAT if you book before 31st December, 2008. When you book before this date, you will pay a £400 deposit, with the balance of fees being due by the start of the course (instalment schemes are available upon request).

“I have trained with many of the world's well-known NLP trainers. I have great respect for Michael Watson's teaching and I enjoyed him as a trainer. He is easy to understand and fun to learn from. My only regret is that I have not been able be in any of his classes for so long due to timing and distance.”
Tom Hoobyar - retired CEO - Founder, NLP Café Alumni Association
