Nick Kemp has been involved in the field of personal change for thirty years, having studied many approaches to communication and personal development, including Ericksonian Hypnosis, Provocative Therapy and NLP.  Watch Nick demonstrate on You Tube.  He worked closely with Frank Farrelly, and modeled his Provocative Therapy, making it much easier to learn the many different interventions, as well as setting up The Association for Provocative Therapy, and he co-trains with Frank each year in the UK. He has created his own synthesis, Provocative Change Works(tm) in his private practice, and has developed a series of new approaches for working with clients including two very rapid and effective NLP methods for resolving the anxiety or other strong feeling responses that are at the root of a wide variety of problems. He has produced a number of DVDs of his Provocative Change Works sessions, as well as his Human Alchemy (tm) series of CDs.  http://www.nickkemp.com

Andrew T. Austin is the author of The Rainbow Machine, described by Bill O’Hanlon as “the British Milton Erickson.” He is a neurolinguist and clinical hypnotherapist, and a registered nurse with experience in neurology. This year he will teach about submodalities, pain perception and the brain, and how this can be used for pain control, and how an understanding of the neurobiology of depression and anxiety can guide session design and structure. Andy is known for his never-ending creativity and sense of humor, along with the precision and range of his work.            
     “Andy Austin is an intelligent and entertaining trainer. He demonstrates high standards regarding working with clients and more important, he trains you to become aware of yourself as the clinician/coach in all types of situations. His material is very useful for those who want to increase their therapeutic skills. He cleverly leads students to find the answers within, and then offers new ideas to challenge their learning even more. I have enjoyed my experiences learning from Andy and I recommend him as a trainer.”  —Rachel Hott, Ph.D. Co-director The NLP Center of NY

Steve Andreas MA is author of Transforming Your Self, Virginia Satir: the patterns of her magic, and Six Blind Elephants. He is one of the few trainers who has been an integral part of the field from its early days. He and his wife Connirae created the first four popular NLP books based on Bandler/Grinder transcripts, propelling NLP into the mainstream. They have gone on to develop many new methods and distinctions, and design training formats that have set a standard internationally. Steve continues to develop and apply the comprehensive model of change set forth in his most recent book, tracking the scope shifts and logical level shifts of each step in a problem or outcome. This information expands your range of choices and also guides your choice of intervention, making it easier to change the beliefs and other generalizations that trigger so many of our responses.

     "Steve, I was so impressed and inspired by your presence this past summer. Your congruence and integrity, balance of compassion and fierceness, models the spirit and principles that you teach.  To my way of thinking, this form of embodied practice is the only kind of teaching worthy of the name." –Hank Laurence, NLP Coach, New York 
Lucas Derks has been a social psychologist and NLP trainer in the Netherlands and internationally since 1983, and is the author of Social Panoramas: Changing the Unconscious Landscape with NLP and Psychotherapy. Without being conscious of it, everyone has created their identity and position in society by where and how they internally represent others around them in their personal space. The submodalities of these representations—location, distance, size, height, etc.—determine and maintain our identity, attitudes, and emotional responses to others, often despite vigorous attempts to change them. However, problems with intimate relationships, self-confidence, conflicts, and power—in families, teams, and organizations—can be easily characterized by their social panorama, and then changed by adjusting these internal representations. You can view his clear, straightforward, gentle, respectful, and ecological work in this client demonstration session
