NLP is an Asset on a Resume

A few years ago I was sitting in a restaurant in Amsterdam, Holland, enjoying a leisurely lunch with a new friend I had met while attending a wedding in Boston, USA.  Amsterdam was a stopover on my way to Bahrain, UAE where I had been invited to do a 2 day training for a group of entrepreneurs.

Over lunch, my new friend, asked what I did.  He and his partner had only talked with me at the wedding, about the wedding, set on the hill of a beautiful park with only the sounds of musical chimes hung from the tree branches blowing gently in the breeze, the bride and groom, filled with love for each other and feeling the joy of their special moment,  the food, prepared by friends and family, each bite flavourful with sweetness, and the loving location, overlooking the sun sparkled water, as unlimited as their love for each other.

Our jobs or careers never came into the conversation.  We simply enjoyed our time together and at the end of the day exchanged personal email addresses and telephone numbers before saying our farewells.

In Amsterdam, I told him that I was a Communication Trainer, of NLP, neuro linguistic programming.  Now I fully expected him to begin a barrage of questions beginning with what is NLP, and was surprised when he said he was familiar with NLP.

Naturally I asked how.  He explained that he worked for a large company in Holland, and that all the trainers regardless of internal or external must be certified in NLP.  He told me that many people in his company take NLP for personal development and they put it proudly on their CV’s (resumes).

He reached across the table and shook my hand, and with a smile said “congratulations on making a difference”.

The lunch was delicious and the rapport (the wedding and NLP as the Common Denominators) was strong and I often thank my friends for the wonderful wedding in Boston, that lead me to a lunch in Amsterdam, on my way to a training in Bahrain.

Thinking about maybe taking the NLP Business Practitioner certification in Toronto, Ontario, Canada then simply email me directly:   train@nlppossibilitieswithdhe.com  subject:  NLP For Business with Elizabeth Payea Butler
