"A fantastic experience I recommend highly to all of you who want to improve your influencing language. We were a great bunch of people from all continents with various background and objective. There were NLPérs, coaches, Teacher and Business people, etc. We were all very different, but had in common the interest in influencing and motivating ourselves and others with Words that Change Minds. And the trainer, Shelle Rose Charvet, was able to connect to all of us and “pick us up at our individual bus stop” and move us way further. I can say fro myself that the LAB Profile in a great tool with all of its flexibility and depth. I am really curious to how far I can go now….." -Anne Piper, Denmark

"First of all I thought that Shelle was kidding when she mentioned that I could mix business and pleasure in Tuscany. I thought that I would have pleasure anyway in Italy, and that the last thing I would need was to have a training there..... Lucky I was totally wrong. I had massive pleasure and... the fun still goes on. Somehow I had an important personal break through. All of a sudden I realized what really mattered to me and now back in Amsterdam I transform my business according to new priorities..... Little by little life really starts to be different now..... : )"
- Albert Both Talent coach, Netherlands
"The LAB Profile Certification class was by far the best training experience I have ever had. There were standards to meet and it was hard, making and keeping the certification itself valuable. I met and worked with a diverse international group of people (both staff and students) who just sparkled with light and energy - it was such a privilege to work, study, and play with them, and now to know them as friends and contacts throughout the world is invaluable. (Hey, if I want to see the world, I have a place to stay now in Austria, Ireland, France, South Africa, Australia...the list goes on!) Oh, and my emerging business now has a much clearer and cleaner focus. I left feeling prepared to move forward with more confidence than ever before."
-Mia Corinha, Massachusetts
"Language is the powerful tool of influence in communication, and when it is used with integrity it is irresistible. I went on the LAB Profile course in 2007 to learn new things about how people communicate. I am a lawyer practicing law in Ireland. Lawyers are great communicators in court, in meetings and so forth, but we are not good communicators when it comes to communicating with our clients. I wanted to understand, why we are such poor communicators with our clients, in the hope that I could pass my knowledge onto other lawyers. The Lab Profile course taught me everything I wanted to know and more. I strongly recommend the course to anybody who wants to be an irresistible communicator."
-Johnny Bourke, Dublin Ireland

“Thank you for the Words That Change Minds Certification Experience, it is proving to be incredibly useful over every aspect of communication we encounter.

"Of all the NLP courses I've attended, the LAB Profile Certification has proved the most lucrative. Since I took the program a year and a half ago, it's paid for itself several times over. Often people in organizations don't have a vocabulary to talk about the language they use. Using LAB profiling means we can discuss sophisticated uses of language without the need for jargon." - Fiona Wright PhD, Consultant in Written Communication Skills
"I am using the LAB with coaching clients (The conversational coaching is a real help here) and also as part of my marketing company which provides niche relationship building marketing solutions.

The LAB is an amazing tool and I am so glad I attended the course." - Ian Northcott, Northshaw Marketing, U.K.

I consider my two weeks in Burlington to have been very profitably spend. All training should be this good!" - Chris Herbert, The Insight Group Inc., Tempe, Arizona, U.S.A.

Irresistible Presentations Testimonials
“I got a lot out of the course, and felt it was packed full of new ideas and strategies for me. I will certainly apply them a bit at a time to integrate the ideas in the muscle. You've created a very supportive and warm environment for the attendees which helps a lot when many people are coming with high levels of anxiety. I went on a presentation course last year and this one was far superior from my point of view. Shelle is an excellent presenter and trainer and a great model for us. I would very much recommend this course.” -Jenny Nabben, Head of Change Management
“The program helped me consolidate a number of previously disconnected pieces about what makes for an ‘irresistible presentation’. Now, I not only have a number of POWER tools in my tool kit, but I know how to bring them together to create the finished product: a presentation with impact! Whether the context is meetings, one-on-one discussions, the boardroom, I now have an elegant set of tools available to me.” -Sam Maroli, Managing Director, Interservefm Ltd
“Proof that working with someone under their guidance is far better than listening to CDs (which one of my trainers recommended to me!!) and that as always working in groups leads to a better understanding.” -Rosie O’Hara, NLP Trainer
“Excellent course, really develop skills ... does increase confidence. The course was well run, congruent – anticipated the audiences’ needs (yes, each member), and addressed them. Quite a feat for anyone – Shelle is raunchy, stylish and sensitive all rolled into one. Great experience.” -Barbara Woodrow, Deputy Director of Nursing, National Health Service
“What a great three days. Presenting is my biggest fear and I felt safe from the beginning which was very important. HUGE amount of information presented in digestible sized portions and cleverly woven together to create a whole new way to look at it.” -Liz Lee, Stress Management
“Fantastically condensed and detailed yet paced, do-able. Everthing you need to learn in as short a time as possible. Very happy I came along.” -Michael Foley, Executive Coach
“This was a valuable and impressive seminar that has greatly increased my confidence in my presentation style. The pacing of exercises and content was perfect. Many valuable ideas were covered that I will integrate into my communications with others in the future. I would advise anyone thinking of taking this seminar to do so, as the atmosphere was supportive and encouraging. Shelle did an excellent job of building a co-operative and positive atmosphere.” -Liz Amesbury, Dyslexia Co-ordinator, University of Wolverhampton
“Shelle creates a safe and supportive environment – helps people work at their own pace. Materiel applicable in lots of situations. Confidence as well as competence builder. Well worth doing.” -Brigid Breckman, Self employed
“A level of prior NLP knowledge and experience is helpful. Otherwise sign up.” -Mike Rose, Police Officer, East Midlands Police
“Wonderful to have the insight into The System plus structure and skills rather than presentation ‘context’! To have made so much progress in three days is really something and will give me a lifetime to practice! Also feel I made progress in the ‘human’ areas of presenting which I really needed to make a ‘big jump’ in my effectiveness, credibility and impact. Thanks for a wonderful and supportive course!
And I suspect that this is the first course I’ve been on where people won’t spot that I’ve been on a course!” -Cassandra Brown, Managing Director, MED-EL UK Ltd
“Shelle truly lived up to all expectations and was IRRESISTIBLE as a trainer. Many thanks. I feel I’ve learnt tons! Managed to get out of my comfort zone frequently and ‘Just do it’. I’ve become more confident and learnt to trust that it’s all a big learning curve and can’t be perfected overnight. A very safe environment in which to make mistakes – learn from them. Would highly recommend others and my comment would be ‘Just go for it’ – it’s an opportunity you can’t afford to miss. Shelle truly is irresistible – you’ll have such fun as you learn. Many grateful thanks.” -Liz Philpott, Reflexologist and Health Creation Mentor
“I think the three day course is excellent value for money as it cover all the key areas that help to build the tools, skills and experience needed that can be taken away to develop and practise.” -Glenda Yearwood, Study Support Co-ordinator, Outreach School Of Learning
“It’s an immensely useful three days – lots of tips and practical applications. Definitely come along and decide for yourself.” -Kate Atkin, Freelance Trainer, Aspire 2
“I came to build on very basic presentation skills. I wanted to learn from an expert rather than trial and error. I now have some techniques, ideas, and formulae that I can adapt for different circumstances. I enjoyed the three days but felt a little disadvantaged by ignorance of ‘lab’ profiling. The practise sessions were invaluable and the other course members friendly and supportive. I feel more confident as a consequence of coming on the course and motivated to continue to build skills!! Thank you.” -Caroline Clark, Freelance Presenter in Schools
“Tell Others. Understand NLP Basics/LAB Profile first. As often as referred to.” Nicola Hill, Cardiac Physiologist
“This course really changed the way I view presentation from focussing on content to concentration on the audience. The ‘oh yeah’ moment for me was to do with confidence levels and the idea that nerves come when I am not focussing enough on the audience and too much on myself. Perhaps this morning discussion should be a formal part of the training.” -Karl Firth, Sales Manager, St Jude Medical
