One-day Open Courses

Our open courses bring previously undisclosed listening and negotiation techniques into the public domain. An open course offers a rare opportunity for you to access the Institute’s training as an independent delegate. Alternatively, if you’re booking on behalf of an organisation, you can send a group of up to eight employees. (Just so you know; we separate delegates up, so your team won’t be sitting together.)

We’re running our open courses as Virtual Workshops until the COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. Contact us for more details.

  Our follow-up open course programme

  ‘Mind Mastery’ at Diploma Level 2 is occasionally available to vetted delegates as a one-day open course.

  Mind Mastery builds on our life or death listening skills to drill you in elite negotiation competencies. You’ll find the day exhausting, exposing and exhilarating in equal measure. Expect to cover the toughest negotiation terrain using the discipline of conscious excellence and armed with our unique tool-for-life; the Negotiation Route Map.

  You need to have gained Diploma Level 1 to qualify to attend a Mind Mastery open course. We conduct our delegate vetting process for this open course via a 10-minute delegate phone call. The vetting process is attitudinal, not data-based. Vetting for all Mind Mastery delegates is part of our corporate social responsibility policy to prevent misuse of the skills we teach.
