NLP Practitioner Training, Life Coach Certification and Keynote Speaking, South Africa

Can I ask you something?

I run NLP training South Africa can trust, for people ready to change how they see themselves, and everyone around them.

Do you ever feel there has to be more to life than this? Not a crisis. Just a quiet feeling that you were made for more than getting through the week.

If that’s you, you’re in the right place. I’m Deon Groenewald, and since 2008 I’ve trained NLP practitioners and life coaches across South Africa, and spoken to audiences on leadership and personal change.

Who I Help

Why People Come to Me for Life Coach and NLP Training

Most people I meet are doing fine on the outside. They smile, they answer “I’m okay”, and they keep going.

But underneath, many are carrying tiredness, worry, or a sense of being stuck. I’m not here to treat anything, I’m a trainer and a coach. What I do is walk alongside people, and train others to do the same, through life coaching and NLP, neuro linguistic programming.

“For almost twenty years, my purpose has stayed simple: to help people become better versions of themselves, and to train coaches who can do the same for others.”

The Truth About Change

What I Believe About Change

Here’s something I want you to think about.

How do you know you’re hungry? Because you know what full feels like. How do you appreciate water? Because you’ve been thirsty.

Our minds work in pairs. Up needs down. Light needs dark. When a problem is real for you, your mind already holds the opposite of it.

“The answer isn’t somewhere outside you. It’s already in you.”

My job, through life coaching and NLP, is to help you find it, not to hand you my answer, because your life isn’t my life.

The Training

NLP Training South Africa: Become an NLP Practitioner and Life Coach

The NLP Life Coach Training is where we put this into practice.

You’ll train in both life coaching and NLP together. Life coaching helps you plan the road from where you are to where you want to be. NLP helps you reach the parts of the mind that make the change stick.

It runs over nine days on Zoom, from 9:00 to 16:00, with your camera on. We don’t just talk about it, you’ll watch me work with a volunteer, then you’ll practise in breakout rooms, as both coach and client.

You finish with two certificates: a practitioner certificate in neuro linguistic programming, and a life coach certificate. The training is accredited by the International Coaches Registrar, the Association for NLP and COMENSA.

“Your recordings stay with you for life, and you can repeat the training whenever you need to, at no extra cost.”

What Happens Next

After Your Certification

Many trainers hand you a certificate and wish you well. I don’t believe in that.

When you join, you also join our coaches’ community. Every Thursday from 19:00 to 20:00, we meet live to train and talk through real client situations. You also get the 21 Day Client Acquisition Challenge, which helps you find your first clients and talk to them with confidence.

“Nobody has to build a coaching business alone.”

Who This Training Is For

This training is for you if you want to become a life coach, an NLP practitioner, or simply want the tools to help people change, whether that’s coaching, counselling, or leading a team.

You don’t need a previous qualification. You need a basic working level of English, and a willingness to practise.
