Question #3
What should I look for in a Trainer?
The answer to this question will lie mainly in personality than qualifications, but we'll discuss both. Obviously a Master Trainer title would indicate more experience than a Trainer but from what you've read in Chapter 1, you'll remember that many times someone can have that certification without it meaning that they earned it. They could have just been friends or related with the Master Trainers before them. What's more important than the title is how long they've been training.

Perhaps even more important than their qualifications or experience as a NLP Practitioner or Master Practitioner, I would recommend exploring two other areas:

Teaching style and personality.
Any successful trainer should be able to provide you with a demonstration video of their talents and skills or have videos for sale that showcase their talents. At the very least, they should have testimonials from people who can vouch for them. But ideally, get a video so you can see if you like their training style. This is true in any industry. Do you like a serious pragmatic approach? A comical fun approach? An esoteric spiritual approach? These are important things to know about your trainer before you commit to paying them any money. The last thing you want is to be stuck in a seminar for 7 days or a year with a trainer who doesn't interest you.

Second, and the most important of all is personality. Do you connect with the trainer? Do you like them? There is really only one way to know this and that is to speak with them on the phone before you enroll. Are they willing to take a few moments out of their day to get to know you? If the trainer isn't willing to speak to you when you are a prospect do you really think they'll treat you any differently once they have your money? I can assure you that if you can't speak with them prior to your enrolment, the likelihood of them being willing to speak with you after the seminar is over is very small. The rebuttal from most trainers unwilling to speak with you before hand of course would be that if a trainer has time to speak to everyone before they sign up they must not be very successful, and there is some legitimate argument to that case. But what is more important to you? How successful the trainers business is or how successful the training will be? Make sure you can speak with them before you enroll. And at the very least make sure you can listen to the trainer on a CD first as you will be able to tell if you like their style. Most good NLP schools will be able to offer you an introductory CD for Free. It will give you a chance to get to know them and make sure your personalities mesh well. The reason why this is so important is simple: You will unconsciously adapt the personality traits and characteristics of the person who trains you, so make sure that they have the type of personality you would be happy to reflect because this will happen without you even being aware of it.
