Trainers are constantly being qualified each year in NLP, or neuro-linguistic programming.  It is possible that you can go from knowing absolutely nothing about NLP to being qualified in the profession by the sixth week of training.  There are a few experts of NLP that stand out the most in the industry.  Igor Ledochowski, Taylor Starr, Dr. Milton Erickson, and Nathan Blaszak are all master trainers of NLP.  Some of them have been in the industry longer than others.

Igor Ledochowski is a famous hypnotist and author who is known for his skill in training others in the importance of conversational hypnosis.  His greatest attributes are introducing new concepts into the world of neuro-linguistic programming, also known as NLP.  Born in 1974, Ledochowski was originally interested in law and was employed by a law firm after graduating from law school.  However, he quickly became curious about the Ericksonian Hypnosis.  He became so fascinated that he left his place of employment and later became one of the world’s most well known hypnotists.

Ledochowski eventually became the teacher for master classes at the London School of Clinical Hypnosis.  After his interest in improving not only himself, but others, he formed the “Easy Stop” method.  It is a foundation that helps people overcome certain addictions, such as smoking or over-eating.  Igor is also an avid believer in the “iMethod”.  This is a concept that uses the power of the mind to show believers how they can control how they act, feel, and think in order to change their behavior into a positive result.

In the 1950s, the American Medical Association required that all doctors veer away from using hypnosis, despite all of the amazing healing factors involved with hypnosis.  There was one doctor in particular who refused to give up on the idea of using this form of treatment, especially with the results that he had encountered.  Dr. Milton Erickson was quickly ordered to face a hearing, and he was informed that he would lose his medical license in the process.
