NPQICL CRITICAL SELF EVALUATION
My Journey prior to enrolment on the course
Between 1987 and 1988 I had been married with two children. My youngest had a challenging start to life as he was born with a range of complications which categorised him as a disabled child. I was also going through a difficult marriage and wanted to be able to fend for myself and my children and as such I was determined to get the best out of education to increase my earning potentials which I eventually accomplished. Between 1989 and 1996 I began a learning journey to obtain a degree, a post graduate degree and finally an MBA. I worked full time and studied in the evenings. I worked in the economic development and business development field within the public and voluntary sector.
By accident, not by design, I became a Sure Start Programme Manager in 2002. In 2007 I was encouraged by my manager to do the NPQICL course. I was reluctant to do so because I had vowed never to do any major study after my MBA degree programme mainly because of the challenges I went through studying as an adult with a young family. I was happy doing short courses, ie 1 -3 days, a week maximum.
For a few years I had been interested in finding out why some people were more successful in life than others and what tools and techniques they had applied. My quest for answers brought me to take on a 3 weeks course in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) which started in March 2010.
What is NLP: . There are many definitions about what NLP is, the best description I found states that :
“NLP explores the relationships between how we think (neuro), how we communicate (linguistic) and our patterns of behaviour and emotion (programmes).
By studying and learning from these relationships people can effectively transform the way they traditionally think and act, adopting new, far more successful models of human excellence. (This activity is called modelling and is a key feature that distinguishes
