JobsDB Holds Special Complementary Seminar on Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) for Corporate Clients

It was an intense four hours but the main speaker and the topic had about 80 managers and human resource practitioners from 30 companies riveted the minute the seminar on neuro-linguistic programming (or NLP) started. NLP is the science of “reading” another person’s visual, emotional, and other nuanced signals that may be saying something apart from (or totally) different from their spoken words.
JobsDB Phils, Inc. held the complementary class for its clients last May 7 at the Union Bank Building in Ortigas Center as part of its mission and vision to empower HR practitioners in the performance of their work . The seminar tackled such timely and relevant topics dear to HR professionals who spend a lot of time with other people, such as:
- What makes an effective communicator?
- The ideas, thoughts, and experiences that shape our reactions to people (which may not necessarily be productive)
- How communication and interpersonal relations become tools that make excellent performance in the workplace consistent and the norm, not the exception
- The different types of personalities and how they communicate
- The techniques that make us effective in interacting with these different personalities
- And the most fun exercise of all – how do you know if a person is lying?
The speaker, Ben Ampil, is a seasoned management consultant and a US-Certified NLP Practitioner. He is a frequent speaker at conventions and a trainer for individuals, companies, and organizations in the areas of leadership, management, and peak performance. Mr. Ampil graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering from the University of the Philippines, in Diliman, where he also obtained his MBA. He also has earned a year’s coursework toward a degree in Master of Science in Industrial Economics from the University of Asia and the Pacific, and he has also taken units in his studies for a Master of Science degree in Information Technology.
The seminar ended on a high note, and in leaving the premises, our HR clients were heard to have said: “Now, we 'get' what our colleagues are *really* saying!"
