Get The Life You Want
Live, With Richard Bandler & John La Valle
Whether you've read the book or not, this week you're in the room with the man who wrote it — and the man who's spent nearly 40 years refining how to teach it.
No certification. No exam. Building the life you want, in just six days.
Limited seats. Live only. Never run this way in the U.S. before.
Hear It From Richard
Richard Bandler on why this is happening now — live, in his own words.
You already know what you want. More confidence. Better decisions.
Is that enough?
Probably not — because you've had glimpses of it before. A moment when you were completely yourself, completely capable, completely clear. And it faded.
This is six days of learning how to get there on purpose, instead of waiting for it to happen by accident.
You've read Get The Life You Want. Maybe more than once. You underlined things. You tried a few of the exercises on your own, in your own head, probably in your own voice.
Reading gave you the ideas. It gave you something to think about, and something to try. And reading is a solitary act — it happens alone, in your own head, in your own voice, disconnected from anyone else's state — while change happens between people, live, connected.
Richard wrote the book. This is the six days he never put on paper.
The book is one artifact of a much larger body of work. Richard and John have been teaching, refining, and archiving live NLP training for more than four decades — going back to the original Marshall tapes.
That archive lives at NLP Eternal. There's a substantial amount of free content in there, and a subscription tier for the deeper library. If you want to hear Richard and John teach at length before you decide about the room, it's the honest place to start.
What happens in Orlando in March is not on NLP Eternal. It won't be. This is the room — that's the archive.
Reading is meta. You're standing outside the experience, looking at it, thinking about it. That's a valuable place to stand — it's just not the place where real, lasting change happens.
Change happens inside the process. Associated. In the state itself, not observing it from the outside.
That's the actual skill on the table this week — not information, something John La Valle has spent nearly 40 years mastering alongside Richard: how to get inside the process himself, and how to bring you in with him, live, in real time.
Inside the room is where it becomes real — for you.
If you've ever sat through NLP training and felt like you were getting a copy of a copy — technically correct, missing something you couldn't name — that's because you probably were.
Richard Bandler co-created NLP more than 50 years ago. He's also the creator of Design Human Engineering® and Neuro Hypnotic Repatterning® — bodies of work that extend and build on the original NLP framework, and which he continues to teach live, internationally, today.
His life and work are chronicled in Altered States: The Richard Bandler Story — the full documentary, executive-produced by John La Valle, free to watch.
This week in Orlando, it's not a licensed trainer running his material. It's Richard, live, in the room, doing the work himself. He wrote the book Get The Life You Want. This week, he's teaching it.
You've probably known what you wanted to change longer than you've known how. That gap — between knowing and doing — is the actual opportunity, and it's the one thing most training never exposes.
John La Valle has spent nearly 40 years closing exactly that gap, working beside Richard the entire time. He didn't start in a classroom. He started on factory floors, capturing what expert workers knew before they retired and the knowledge left with them — which is where he learned that an idea isn't a skill until someone knows how to transfer it, intact, from one person to another.
Since then, he's brought that same precision to Fortune 100 companies and professionals worldwide, co-authoring Persuasion Engineering® with Richard and co-presenting it live every year since the 1990s. His approach is ethical by design — influence that holds up over the long term, not a short-term tactic. His essay NLP Is Not Therapy is the definitive statement of what NLP is and what it is not.
“John is the best at NLP there has ever been.”
— Richard Bandler
That's what he still does. Richard creates the models. John is the one who can put you inside them — live, in the room, until it's yours.
Six days. Three arcs. Richard's own framework, live.
The old weight — decisions you can't undo, moments you can't stop replaying, beliefs installed by somebody else a long time ago. Not managed. Over.
The habits and patterns that run you instead of the other way around. The stuck places. The recovery that's taking longer than it should. A way through, not just a way to cope.
The goal you actually want — not the one you've settled for talking about. Built, installed, and running, so you leave with it already working instead of still planning it.
The format may be new. Richard and John have been producing results for forty years.
They haven't been experimenting — they've been refining. This is the full, expanded version of work that's already proven, running in the United States for the first time.
Get The Life You Want is one of three PureNLP live trainings in Orlando in March 2027. Persuasion Engineering® runs March 5–7, and Trainer Training Charisma Enhancement® runs March 17–22. If you're building a March schedule around Richard and John, see the full PureNLP calendar.
