"Highly Recommend"
“I would say that I have met few trainers in the last 40 years, in academia, continuing clinical education and NLP training, with his personal integrity, facility with NLP tools and acumen in training to clinical competency. I highly recommend his NLP Training Institute, and his personal training programs to anyone looking for genuine behavioral capability, delivered by a person of great personal empathy and integrity."
Frank Bourke, PhD Cornell University Professor (ret'd)

"This is the best training I've had as a counsellor in my field. I left and felt consciously competent to walk into a week of clients and use the protocol right away... I wish this was a foundational course in grad school... I wish I had taken this earlier!"
Sarah Burnett, MS, LMHC
--
"I have been an instructor of various things for the last 35 years: in the military, in law enforcement, the civilian sector, as well as an adjunct professor at a State College... Allen Kanerva is in the top 3% of instructors I have observed. I have witnessed him be unexpectedly pulled into an ongoing protocol when a clinician hit a block with a troubled client. With the utmost of ease and with a gifted and gentle manner, Allen redirected and reengaged the client effortlessly. He is amazing to watch in action."
Craig Hardcastle, Major (ret’d) USMC
