9KM BY 9AM LAUNCHES THE NLP BREAKTHROUGH HOUR
The One-Hour Mindset Upgrade Transforming Workplace Performance
Companies are facing a growing workplace dilemma: people want development, but they no longer have half a day to spare for it.
According to Microsoft’s Work Trend Index, 68% of employees say they don’t have enough uninterrupted focus time during the workday.
Diaries are packed. Meetings spill over. Hybrid teams are stretched. Yet confidence, communication and resilience have never mattered more. The result is a gap between the support employees need and the time organisations can realistically provide.
9KM BY 9AM has responded to this shift with the launch of The NLP Breakthrough Hour – a fast, experiential, high impact corporate training session that delivers powerful behavioural change in just 60 minutes. It’s designed to run at lunchtime, before work, or after hours, giving organisations a high-impact mindset reset without the scheduling headaches. https://www.9kmby9am.com/coaching/nlp-breakthrough-hour/
One of the first companies to host the session was mindful drinking brand Lucky Saint. Sacha Harvey, People Director, said: “Nigel delivered his NLP Breakthrough Hour for 60+ colleagues, and it was excellent, high-energy, safe and inclusive. It hit our objectives around confidence, resilience and practical tools our teams can use in the real world. Feedback from our board and frontline teams was unanimously positive. People left with clear next steps, a shared language and a genuine sense of momentum.”
SO, WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE THE HOUR?
Each Breakthrough Hour is bespoke – shaped around the client’s goals, team culture and time constraints. There are over 20 experiential NLP workshops available, and the session is designed from these building blocks. Some of the most popular core modules include:
1) Time Travel – See Your Best Future in Advance
Delegates step one year into their future and meet the best version of themselves – the person who has already achieved their goals, made the changes and lived the year they want. This is powerful because anxiety is fear of something that hasn’t happened yet. When the mind creates a “memory of the future”, confidence replaces uncertainty. The brain accepts the outcome as familiar, even safe – and begins working toward it automatically.
Outcome: reduced anticipatory anxiety, stronger self-belief, clearer direction.
2) Anchoring & The Circle of Excellence – Emotions on Cue
Anchors shape our lives more than we realise. A national flag creates pride. A song takes you back twenty years. A scent brings someone instantly to mind. These are emotional triggers and NLP teaches you to create them intentionally. In the Circle of Excellence, delegates build a physical anchor just by stepping into an imaginary circle linked to confidence, calm, courage, focus or joy. They can then activate these states on demand – in presentations, tough meetings, pitches or high-pressure moments.
Outcome: emotional control, better decision-making, improved performance under pressure.
3) Smashing Limiting Beliefs – A Breakthrough You Can Feel
Every belief is learned, which means it can be rewritten. Delegates identify the belief that holds them back (“I’m not enough”, “I always fail”, “I’m an imposter”) and dismantle its foundations. Then comes the breakthrough: they write the belief on a wooden board and smash through it with a controlled break. The body sends the unconscious mind a message it cannot ignore that belief is finished.
Outcome: renewed confidence, stronger identity, increased willingness to act.
ADDITIONAL WORKSHOP OPTIONS
Beyond these core modules, organisations can choose from a wider suite of experiential NLP tools. Many of these sessions teach teams how to work with the building blocks of thought – the raw ingredients that shape every memory, belief and decision.
4) The Ingredients of the Mind – Your Internal User Manual
Thoughts are like recipes. Each one is formed from sensory ingredients: what we see, hear, feel, taste or smell. Every memory and emotion is coded using these sensory details – brightness, colour, distance, volume, tempo, location, texture and more. When you learn to adjust these ingredients, the whole experience changes. In this workshop, delegates become the “chef” of their own mind – playing with the recipes that drive their thinking and reprogramming patterns that no longer serve them. Once people understand how thoughts are built, they gain practical tools to change them quickly and deliberately.
Outcome: a clear understanding of how the mind encodes experience, and the ability to shift thoughts and feelings on cue.
5) Parts Therapy – Meet Your Inner Team
Inside each of us is a team of inner archetypes: the Warrior (drive and courage), the Lover (connection and care), the Magician (insight and transformation) and the Sovereign (purpose and leadership).
In this workshop, delegates locate where each part “lives” in the body, discover how it sounds, and learn what advice it offers. Then the parts begin to talk to each other — Warrior protecting Lover, Lover grounding Warrior, Magician finding the lever, Sovereign deciding what serves the whole.
Outcome: stronger internal leadership, less inner conflict and the ability to activate the right part of the self for the moment you’re facing.
6) Rapid State Shift & Reframing
A fast, practical session that teaches teams how to recode stressful or unhelpful situations and switch into a more resourceful state — confidence, calm or focus — with speed and control.
Outcome: better emotional agility and improved performance under pressure
7) Identity-Level Change Transforming from the Inside Out
Identity sits at the top of the neurological levels of change. When identity shifts — who I am becoming — everything beneath it becomes more achievable: environment, behaviour, skills, values and beliefs.
This workshop helps delegates step into a stronger identity that supports their goals, making change more natural, more aligned and more sustainable.
Outcome: deeper commitment, clearer direction and behavioural change that sticks.
These workshops can be mixed, matched and customised around your organisation’s priorities — whether boosting confidence, improving communication, strengthening leadership or building resilience.
