<h1>Reviewing the NLP Trainers: Rodger Bailey</h1>

If you are familiar with NLP Meta Programs, you should be familiar with the name Rodger Bailey. While Leslie Cameron-Bandler was the first one to identify many of the different filters or mental programs, Rodger Bailey (to my knowledge) was the one to combine them and the first one to construct questions that helped assess certain Meta Programs without having to observe people's behaviours. He called this the Language and Behavior Profile, or LAB Profile for short.

One of his students, the lovely Shelle Rose Charvet, translated the questions into French and later wrote the best book on Meta Programs, "Words that Change Minds". Shelle Rose Charvet became authorized by Rodger Bailey to run the official LAB Profile training courses, which she has been delivering worldwide since 1995. Rodger then focused on working with elite athletes and with schools, using his knowledge of how the brain operates.

Now in his 70s, Rodger continued to develop the LAB Profile and has just started an online certification course he calls the LAB Profile 2.0.

From what I have seen so far, I really like the style of teaching and the depth of knowledge imparted throughout this course. He distinguishes 17 different patterns (as opposed to the 14 in "Words that Change Minds") and they are all incredibly useful in different areas of life.

I will add more feedback when I have gone through the course.
