2009 Hope Symposium

On the weekend of September 19/20, 2009, the NLP Canada Training community gathered at Emmanuel College, University of Toronto for the HOPE Symposium. NLP is the art of replicating excellence: it offers a direct, effective way to promote and sustain the HOPE that good things are attainable in our lives, work and relationships.

Almost 20 speakers, all NLP practitioners trained at NLP Canada Training, offered compelling stories of how they have integrated NLP into their work in fields as diverse as training, coaching, entrepreneurship, alternative health care, counseling and IT. It is an ideal opportunity for NLP enthusiasts to learn more about the difference that NLP practices make in the way people see the world and shape it.

It was a wonderful weekend. Newcomers, old friends and speakers mingled in an atmosphere of expectation, of support, and of positive connections. Most strongly, we shared stories of how the way we think and communicate shapes the results that are possible for us.
