I strongly recommend NLP training, and Barbara Stepp's Excellence Quest Institute specifically, for anyone desiring greater understanding of human interaction and needing to more effectively focus their emotions.

Being able to establish rapport quickly with nearly anyone, learning to ask better questions of others and myself, recognizing verbal and non-verbal communication patterns, and controlling emotional responses to challenging scenarios are unexpectedly empowering techniques that I use regularly and learned from this highly diversified training.

Practicing NLP and hypnotherapy techniques in both one-on-one and group environments honed these skills and created confidence their application and my ability to use them effectively.

Perhaps intentionally, the training was at times less structured than I prefer in terms of outcomes expected. I viewed this as a learning opportunity and accepted responsibility for establishing my own outcomes. This was invaluable because I realized that NLP skills can be applied in limitless situations that best serve the interests of the user.

Since I live in the area I can state unequivocally that the accommodations were wonderful. You can use the following comments as you deem appropriate.

In general, Chicago has average to fabulous hotel facilities, especially in the downtown area. More reasonable pricing can usually be found in the suburbs and driving time from these locations is normally an hour or less to Excellence Quest's downtown training site.

The training site is roomy enough to support a large class size and still provide space for one-on-one or team activities. Bottled water and coffee or tea are available along with a refrigerator and microwave for those bringing snacks or preferring to dine in for lunch and dinner.

Whatever a person's tastes, they can be satisfied in Chicago. While little time is available for touring during the seminar, activities abound for anyone planning to arrive early or stay afterward.

I am indebted to Barb and my fellow practitioners for providing me the tools to enrich my life and ably assist others, when appropriate, to break through existing limitations, envision possibilities and change reality.
