This is a life changing program on being human. I've been an elementary school teacher and I wish…read morewe could have (no, had) to teach this material. If you are a coach or in any kind of healing or personal growth professional you really owe it to your clients to go through this experience. Yes, it's NLP. You will learn "classic" NLP at a level of depth and integration that I've never seen taught anywhere else (and I've trained with other NLP schools) but it is also so, so, so much more.

I have worked as a consultant for over 15 years and studied with NLP Marin about 6 years ago. It…read morehas changed my professional life - which of course is rooted in my changed personal life. 10 years ago, I was focused on understanding problems and creating solutions in the world "out there." That's, so I thought, is what I get paid for. I had the conviction that we were relatively well equipped to identify and interact with the world "out there" - which included the popular and politically correct relativism, cultural sensitivity, and the notion of personal view points. Today that looks a little comical - in a good natured sort of a way. Yes, the training of NLP Marin offers tools, communication and interpersonal skills, and powerful frameworks that help us make sense of the world in very different ways. They are totally worth the price of admission and you are getting a great deal. They don't not even begin to describe the value of the training. The best way I can describe it, so much of the value is about a quality of personal presence: intense curiosity, openness (as in suspending judgement), vulnerability (as in being willing to learn, be wrong, and safe enough in myself to expose myself...), and courage to do something - anything - when the time has come. Now, I have a deep appreciation for the interesting problems - the once you can't solve by paying for better expertise - where the solution is contained in the way we look at the problem. The solution is in our face but we don't see it. It is out of this personal presence that new questions arise. These questions shed new light on how we make meaning of our experience, what we are feeling, hidden assumptions in our thinking, and all the noise we are creating in an effort to stay safe - in a dance we put on together with everybody else. Priceless!!! Carl Buchheit, Michelle Masters, my teaching assistants and my community of peers have patiently hung in there with me (and still do today) as I am learning at my own pace to become more present to myself and make more useful distinctions about the world "in here" and how it dramatically affects the world "out there." Words fail it - you have to experience it...

Ken gave a training session on Outlook 2010 to the Marin Bookkeepers Referral and Education…read moreNetwork. His handout was excellent with good screenshots of every point he covered. He was able to cover a lot of ground in a clear and concise manner, answering a broad spectrum of questions from participants who were all at different levels of skill. His manner was easy going and pleasant. He is very knowledgeable about his subject matter. I look forward to taking more classes from Ken. He is terrific.

I just finished taking my first series of classes with Ken and have already signed up for more!…read more Ken is a great instructor, very patient, clear in his instruction and gears the class pace to your skill level, speed of learning and interest. He is by far, the best instructor I've ever taken classes from. I was able to absorb so much during my training with him and feel he was very instrumental in "beefing up" my skill set for the workforce. Thanks Ken!!

I found this place through an Instagram ad and decided to sign up for the 3 hour latte art course…read morewith Jonathan. There were 7 people in my class and half of us were home brewers and the other half were coffee professionals. I learned so much in this class! Jonathan broke down the steps of steaming the milk and pouring latte art and then we all got to practice on our own using a really fancy La Marzocco espresso machine that steamed the milk in seconds! Jonathan also provided troubleshooting tips for what to do if the milk doesn't turn out quite right, which I found helpful. The class was small enough to get a ton of practice and hands on guidance and feedback. I highly recommend this class if you're looking to learn or improve your latte art!

Boot Coffee is the preeminent coffee education campus in the country. Everything from roasting, to…read morechocolate making workshops, to the business of opening a cafe, to learning latte art, is very well represented in this campus. Led by Willem and Valerian, this campus is a mecca for serious (and soon-to-be-serious) coffee pros. You can look far. You can look wide. But you cannot find a more knowledge-rich and engaging cadre of teachers in the coffee world. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

A school with issues that STILL produces fine kids prepared for college…read more San Rafael High School is a long standing (by long I mean founded in 1888) high school with tons of history. All students that graduate from here end up LOVING this school. I myself graduated in 2007 and I still have very fond memories of this school. Pros: A handful of teachers STRIVE and WORK non-stop to see these kids succeed. During high school I had EXTREME money problems and a professor even offered me 400 bucks to help me get by. I didn't take the money but, just goes to show you the lengths they'll go for their students. The music program is arguably one of the best for a public school (I mean, they even have their own recording studio and broadcasting station.) Furthermore, its a REAL school. You see your jocks, weirdos and gang-bangers all going here. It's not an isolated school and your child experiences true life. Also many ESL students go to SRHS and thus this school has large english department. From beginning English all the way up to AP english. Many school don't offer that. I personally fell in love with this school and will hopefully send my kids here someday. Cons: the school is so old that it was falling apart when I left. I believe now they are renovating it and it has gotten better. The school has many issues including a high turnover rate of teachers, seems like every year 5 teacher quit and 5 more are hired. Keep an eye on this school and don't listen to just the negative word-of-mouth comments.
