The first time I'd come into contact with Mark Shepard was about a year ago.

I'd been in therapy for most of my life. I was on all kinds of medications.

One of the problems I had was shyness. It was an extreme problem for me. I couldn't talk to anybody. So I went to see Mark. the way I found him out was I was looking on line on the web looking for different techniques I could use or different drugs I could take to try and decrease my shyness.

So I found a site that had all these things to do to reduce shyness and one of the things that popped out was NLP. So I talked to my father about that and he said he knew this guy Mark Shepard.

I googled him on the Web and I met with him a couple weeks later. Within 24 hours I was feeling great. I felt like I was on top of the world and that was after our first 1 hour session.

After that I saw him for a few more follow up visits. Everything since that has been going great relationships have been good, my outlook on life has had a 10 fold increase. It's helped with everything. Medications dramatically reduced. Everything's going good.

After this training I will be using these techniques with other musicians and students who may possibly have performance anxiety and also phobics. Hopefully I'll be able to help them increase their lives as Mark has help me to increase mine.

I went to Mark for help with a host of personal problems.

Things I'd been working on for years and years and making a little bit of progress with, once I met Mark I had exponential change. I mean we did in a day what had previously taken years to work on.

 I was sold!

When Mark told me about this NLP training. I didn't hesitate a second I said "sign me up!" I have had the most incredible experience being here for these 9 days and being with the  people in this class. The caliber of people and the caliber of teaching that Mark provides is second to none. The material that we've learned isn't only useful for teaching and reaching out to people in healing professions, in NLP, or Hypnosis, it's useful for anybody who does communication with people in any profession.

I can't think of a single profession where people don't communicate with people, whether it's sales or technology, if your an IT person, if your in Human Resources, If you're a coach, a therapist, anything.

You need to communicate with people. And today we need to improve our communication with people all the time. This course is so incredibly valuable and it helped me to improve my understanding of myself and my communication with myself.

I am just so looking forward to taking the master Practitioner class and working with him for another 18 days. I am also looking forward to working with him professionally.

I just appreciate Mark so much, his professionalism and the joy he brings with his music and all the different levels that he brings to this. Thank you so much!

I'm so glad I came. I had the time of my life with this great group!

Mark is very professional and improved our lives so much. We can say that after these 9 days every minute spent here was very, very valuable for the rest of our lives.  We are sure right now that we are better than when we started. And  we have much more confidence in ourselves that we can do whatever we want right now. We are stronger. We have something you guys can have too after the training like this. Because if you want it for yourselves in your own life it's very available.

I am really jazzed with all the information I've received in this 9 day course! I really had no idea the value that I was going to receive.

I signed up 8 months ago and knew that this was the investment I was going to make in me and my business as an executive presentation coach.

Walking away after 9 days with all this incredible learning I can see immediate applications that are going to enable me to bring so much value to my clients both the corporate executives and the entrepreneurs and small business owners I work with.

I will be using this immediately! I can already see this brings new opportunities to build new programs. In fact I'm so jazzed at what I have learned and what I can apply that I've signed up for the master practitioner course.

I recommend this training to anybody who deals with people but in particular business coaches, life coaches, certainly any executive coaches should absolutely make NLP a priority in their learning set.

So thank you very much Mark for making this a fabulous 9 days!

I can't wait to put it to work!!!!

I met Mark 5 or 6 months ago. Since I was introduced to NLP and being able to make changes in my life, rapidly, very, very rapidly I was intrigued.

I am also a non-smoker, an ex smoker, I used to smoke. I smoked for 29 years. After being introduced to Mark and the philosophies, learnings and trainings of NLP, I was able to put the cigarettes down without any feelings or negative emotions. There was no fear whatsoever of what was going to happen.

Through NLP and self Hypnosis and EFT and a whole bunch of other things that Mark has introduced to me and provided training on to me I've been able to go out into life and into the public very confident and secure with who I am today versus who I was 9 days ago before I came to this training.

Some of the things I learned in this training was with my 10 year old daughter who struggled in school for the last 4 years in spelling and spelling words and literally in a matter of 5 minutes I was able to show her a process on how to spell the word "success" forwards and backwards. It totally blew her away, blew me away and the next night we went through a whole stack full of flash cards; the multiplication tables of 1 through 12. In a matter of 15 minutes, my 10 year old daughter knows all the multiplication tables of 1 through 12!

So I go forth and I'm leaving this training after 9 days with a  very bright future knowing I will be able to make a difference in this world by helping people whether it be stop smoking, losing weight, increasing the abundance in their life... And I look forward to the next step of becoming a master practitioner.

Anxiety & Panic

Fear of Success, Self Sabotage in Business, Call Reluctance, Presentation Anxiety

"I was reluctant to "take the plunge", but finally made an investment in myself, and my business. Since working one on one with Mark I've been able to make more calls, follow up better with potential clients, and close more business than previously.

Just yesterday I closed a deal after a "tough" meeting that previously would have made me uncomfortable.  That deal alone covers the cost of my working with Mark.  Truly money well spent, and a value received that
goes way beyond dollar amounts."

"Mark helped me overcome my fear of public speaking in about an hour.

Later, I knew I had to see Mark  again when I had to attend a family event in Arizona. Because of time constraints I knew I had to fly. I had an overwhelming fear of airline travel. In fact, I had not flown for about 20 years. I did everything to avoid flying. 

After spending a day with Mark, I felt pretty good about getting on the plane.  As I got on the plane, I kept hearing Mark’s voice… calming me. I actually enjoyed the flight!

Thank you Mark for helping me to overcome my fear of flying!"

 - Pam Pitcher Document Creations www.documentclarity.com
