Video course · 5 days · Dr. L. Michael Hall
The full 4-day 5 Minute Manager workshop, plus the trainer briefing on how to run it for a room of managers
The biggest trainer mistake is not a weak answer. It is jumping to a solution, which only treats the symptom. After this course you can hold a short problem-solving conversation yourself, and you know how to lead a group of managers through it: the day-by-day build-up, the coaching role in each exercise, and how to give feedback that people can take in.

01Why this course
“A good trainer gives people the answer quickly.”
Dr. Hall asks his trainers not to jump to solutions. A quick answer fixes a symptom, and the person still cannot solve their own problem next time.
“Trust your gut about what the problem is.”
He tells trainers to trust the process over their intuition. Intuition often means mind-reading and jumping ahead before the problem is clear.
“Teach the whole method on the first day.”
The build-up is slow. Early practice rounds often go no further than the first two questions, and one new piece is added at a time.
“Score participants so they know where they stand.”
He asks trainers not to call the feedback form a benchmark. Observers tick the questions and skills they see, then give a few gentle, specific comments.
“Let managers tell the full story of their problem.”
Long operational stories are noise. The trainer interrupts and invites the manager to talk about their own thinking, which is the hard part for many managers.
“Managers have to become coaches to use this.”
It is not a training to turn managers into coaches. They learn to switch between a manager role and a coach role, and when each one fits.

Not for you if you only want to use the method yourself. The 5 Minute Manager course covers that without the trainer briefing; this one is for people who also want to lead it for others.

07FAQ
It is a briefing Dr. L. Michael Hall gave the coaches and trainers who were about to assist at the 4-day workshop. He teaches the method to them and explains how he will run each part for the managers.
It contains the same 4 workshop days, plus the trainer briefing of about 4.5 hours. Choose this one if you want to teach or co-facilitate the method.
It was recorded the day before Day 1, so watching it first shows you the plan. Then you see that plan run in the 4 days that follow.
No. The audience in the briefing were coaches, but Dr. Hall explains the method from the basics. Coaching experience helps if you plan to lead practice groups.
Yes. The course includes the workshop manual, which holds the exercises with their timings and the feedback form the trainers use, plus photos of the flip charts from the 4 days.
The method is practised in pairs and groups of three, with one person observing. You can watch alone, but you will learn most by practising with a partner or a small group.

08The teacher
Founder of Neuro-Semantics
Psychologist, author and trainer. He teaches people how to think, not what to think.
Dr. L. Michael Hall holds a Ph.D. in Cognitive-Behavioral Sciences and is the founder of Neuro-Semantics. He worked as a psychotherapist in private practice for about 20 years, and in 1996 co-founded the International Society of Neuro-Semantics, which trains and certifies coaches and trainers around the world.
For about 40 years he has studied one question: how people create meaning, and how that meaning drives what they feel and do. Out of that work came many books, among them "Mind Lines" and "Figuring Out People", his Meta-Coaching training for professional coaches, and "Thinking for Humans", a set of thinking skills in three groups: essential, creative and executive.
He still teaches live, and every week he writes "Neurons", an article for the Neuro-Semantics community. The courses on this site are recordings of his workshops in Mauritius, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the Philippines: you watch him teach a real group, with the questions and exercises from the room.
Symptoms are problematic, but they're not the problem.
Neuro-Semantics is an approach to personal and professional development that grew out of NLP and General Semantics. It looks at how people create meaning, and how that meaning shapes their thinking, emotions and behavior. Coaches, trainers and individuals use it to think more clearly and to make lasting changes.
