What will you be able to do after the training?
After the 7 days you can guide yourself and others through real change processes: dissolve limiting beliefs, manage emotional states on purpose, and lead conversations that actually move people. Concretely, you will practice how to:
- Build deep rapport fast — in coaching, sales, leadership and difficult private conversations
- Recognize how someone thinks and decides, and adapt your language to reach them
- Change limiting beliefs and unhelpful habits — your own included
- Anchor resourceful states you can call up when it matters
- Set goals the way the brain actually pursues them
If you mainly want 1:1 support instead of a certification, our NLP coaching in Lisbon may be the better fit.
How do the 7 days work?
Each day combines short demonstrations with immediate practice in pairs and small groups — you learn every technique by doing it, giving it, and receiving it, with live feedback from the trainers. This is why the group stays small. A typical arc:
Days 1–2 — Foundations & rapport
How your brain codes experience, and how to build genuine connection fast. You calibrate to body language, voice and language patterns — the base for everything that follows.
Days 3–4 — Language & beliefs
The language patterns of change: asking questions that reorganize thinking, reframing, and working with limiting beliefs — on real topics, not roleplay scripts.
Days 5–6 — States, anchoring & strategies
Managing emotional states on purpose, anchoring resources, understanding motivation and decision strategies — yours and your clients’.
Day 7 — Integration & certification
You run full processes end to end, get final feedback, and receive your Society of NLP Practitioner certificate.
Who is your trainer?
You train with Carolin Mallmann — licensed NLP Trainer of the Society of NLP, trained directly by Dr. Richard Bandler, who coaches and trains year-round, not just on stage. Because the group is capped at 10, she sees and gives feedback on your actual practice, every day.

Why do people fly to Lisbon for this?
Because seven days away from your routine change more than months of evening courses squeezed between meetings. You train all day, then walk the city with your group at golden hour — the distance from everyday life is part of the method. More on this: why we train in Lisbon.

Questions you might be asking
Do I need any previous experience with NLP or coaching?
No. The Practitioner training starts from zero and builds up daily. What you need is curiosity about people — starting with yourself.
Is my English good enough?
If you can read this page comfortably, yes. The group is international and we speak clearly, not academically. You practice in pairs, with individual feedback and support.
What exactly is the certificate worth?
You receive the NLP Practitioner certificate of the Society of NLP — the original licensing body founded by NLP co-creator Richard Bandler. It is recognized internationally.
Why should I pay to travel when there are trainings at home?
Because the distance is the point. Seven days out of your routine, in a small international group, compress more change than months of evening courses. And flights to Lisbon often cost less than the difference in local seminar prices.
What if I book and can’t make the date?
Life happens — just tell us as early as you can. Up to four weeks before the start we can usually move your seat to the next training date free of charge. Closer to the date, talk to us and we’ll find a fair solution together.
A quick test
Are you the one people come to when they’re stuck — and now it’s your turn to grow?
Do you want tools that change real conversations, not more theory about them?
Do you keep sensing there’s a version of you that communicates with ease?
Are you ready to give yourself seven days — in Lisbon?
If “yes” — this training was built for you.
