Tim Hallbom is widely considered to be one of the most effective NLP trainers in the world. This is because he genuinely will assist you to learn NLP and to bring out the best in yourself. Training with very little ego, he can spot your talents and help you discover your own way of being successful. In other words, his training is about you. With his deep understanding of people, he has an uncanny way of making NLP accessible and easy to absorb. He always says that his goal is to “make complex NLP concepts and processes fun and easy, and to have people leaving the trainings being skilled and feeling smart.”

Tim has been involved in the field of NLP since 1979, and has been delivering NLP trainings throughout the world since then. Tim has always been more than a trainer. Throughout his 30 year NLP career he has consistently done therapy, coaching and consulting with individuals and organizations throughout the world. Tim specializes in helping individuals to have life changing breakthroughs, and organizations to experience fundamental improvements. This work “in the field” has enabled him to make many discoveries about human behavior and change that he would not have had if he restricted his activities to training.

He has contributed a huge body of knowledge to the field of NLP, including significant advances in working with eye cues, dealing with double binds, identifying and resolving limiting conflicts, identifying hidden communication patterns and clear and consistent ways to identify and change limiting beliefs. He helped to build models to use NLP with health issues. He also refined many of the NLP methods to impact people on the fundamental levels of health and well being, and has made impacting health issues much more elegant. He co-authored the book, Beliefs: Pathways to Health and Well-being with Robert Dilts and Suzi Smith, and created the “Graduate School” of NLP with them - the Health Certification Training Program.

Tim’s coach certification training program was the first based on NLP in North America to be approved by the international Coach Federation.

His recent book, co-authored with Nick LeForce, Coaching in the Workplace, is a comprehensive guide to coaching for managers.
