NLP 2 0 Student Workbook v1 3
The NLP 2.0 Practitioner Student Workbook & Manual (Ver. Sept 21 2024) is a proprietary training resource from Little Grass Shack Coaching that equips aspiring NLP practitioners with theory, language patterns, communication models, and hands‑on exercises. The workbook begins with foundational concepts such as linguistic presuppositions, the hierarchy of ideas (chunking up/down/lateral), and the Milton Model’s hypnotic language patterns. It then moves through core NLP tools – the Meta Model, various anchoring techniques (simple, stacked, resource, collapsing, chaining), parts integration, and reframing (meaning and context). Metaphor construction, strategy identification, eye‑movement decoding, and the distinction between literal and inferential communication are presented with step‑by‑step scripts and practice worksheets. The material also addresses emotional management (upsets and triggers), self‑concept (Self vs. self), and a comprehensive NLP 2.0 Communication Model that maps default/created contexts, intentions, and outcomes for both practitioner and client. Throughout, the workbook provides quizzes, fill‑in‑the‑blank exercises, and reflective activities (e.g., money‑taboo closing talk, future‑pacing, planning). The overall purpose is to develop the learner’s ability to recognize, model, and influence internal representations, create powerful language patterns, and apply NLP techniques ethically in personal and professional settings.
Topics
Linguistic Presuppositions Exercise
A two‑part activity where learners first label statements as presuppositions or distortions, then extract the underlying presuppositional structures from sentences, reinforcing the ability to recognize and use presuppositional language.
Anchoring Techniques
Full suite of anchoring methods: fundamentals (Pavlovian basis, four‑step procedure, qualities of effective anchors) plus step‑by‑step scripts for simple, stacked, resource, collapsing, and chaining anchors, enabling rapid state access and transformation.
Reframing Techniques
Explains meaning‑reframe and context‑reframe formulas, with business‑focused examples (e.g., turning a sales drop into an innovation opportunity) to shift perception and create new options.
Managing Upsets & Triggers
Framework that identifies three root causes of emotional upset—thwarted intentions, unfulfilled expectations, undelivered communication—plus responsibility steps and communication exercises for resolution.
NLP 2.0 Communication Model & World Mapping
Comprehensive model mapping default vs. created contexts, intentions, and outcomes for practitioner and client (BEing, DOing, HAVing). Includes prompts for uncovering obstacles, aligning purpose, and shifting from default to created states.
