"Take a break. Come
for a holiday. Let's reflect upon your life & yourself"
- Ashok Subramanian
Welcome to my Homepage!

My
name is Ashok Subramanian.
I am a NLP Master Trainer based in Ernakulam, Kerala.
I
offer NLP workshops regularly in selective locations in Bangalore, Kerala,
Kulu Manali & Sikkim. I do occasionally visit New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata,
Chennai, Hyderabad to run my diploma courses from time to time, based on the
requests I receive.
Here I give a brief of the work I do using NLP, which defines me best!
-
NLP Training for Personal Excellence - I have worked with atleast a few
thousands of people all over India and from abroad especially europe, in
helping them translate their grey areas into opportunities of excellence and
groom their personality in a way that brings out their own rich uniqueness
to the world at large. I do this through my NLP Diploma and NLP Practitioner
courses, that I conduct all over India now. ( see my
course pictures in various locations)
-
NLP Training as Independent Business - I am currently involved in
developing and nurturing a handful of Indian NLP Trainers, who are modelling
me and my business to begin their own career in the NLP Industry. This is my
top priority now. (See their website -
www.indiannlp.com )
-
NLP Training for Leadership Excellence - I do
coach Business Leaders ranging from Managing Directors, CEOs, Entrepreneurs,
HR Managers, Corporate Executives, who come to my workshops and that way I
satisfy myself for doing my bit in shaping this world in an indirect way!
(See
course pictures here)
-
NLP & Organisational Development - I
also take up some selective corporate training work with some major MNC
companies & some Public Sector Companies from time to time and enjoy
connecting to new organisations and knowing about their businesses and
helping them in building their people and advising them with some new ideas
for furthering their excellence.
-
NLP & Education - I am
also currently working on a project with a cochin based college for the
last three years, in using NLP to enhance the education system for college
students. I hope this will become a model for many colleges who are
interested in exploring the use of NLP for Education. (see the
course pictures here)
-
NLP & Parenting - I do
have worked extensively in training young children with NLP Leadership
Camps through my other
world famous children training company - Brainobrain International, which is
a company that I built along with my brothers actively in the first few
years of its formation. I am still holding the honorary portfolio for NLP
Training in Brainobrain International and advising them in furthering the
NLP Intiatives for children and parents, which we have pioneered since many
years now in India and abroad. (See the course pictures here -

-
NLP for Social Welfare -
I am training some Tribal Volunteers in NLP from the villages
of the western ghats to developing and safeguarding their communities and
their forests, from the modern perils of Industrialisation. I am very proud
of this project though! (See
course pictures here)
-
NLP for Cultural Excellence - I am modeling the wisdom that
different cultures have accumulated over the years in our motherland and are
quite hidden in today's society and bringing out those precious wealth for
the benefit of the society at large is where my heart is and share it with
my course participants for their benefit!!!.
I
started my NLP Practice 14 years ago, so I am perceived today as quite a
senior in the Indian NLP Industry.
I have an extra-ordinary experience in this amazing field, which can
create so much value for the people in this world, given this world's never ending
chaos and ever-increasing problems day by day.
I am married and I have two children, whom I am homeschooling now. I divide
my time between running my NLP
business and pursuing my other priorities &
interests in life like Ayurveda, Yoga, Literature, Gardening, etc.
I wish you all the best and I hope you enjoy exploring my simple
website.
Sincerely,
Ashok

Ashok has a unique style of
influencing people by a quick judgment of their capabilities and
talents, and giving them a concrete constructive feedback. He has a
maturity and depth of character at an early age. He has insights
into the intricate workings of life and the environment that
influence us.
I am putting my learnings and realizations below:
I have more clarity of my strengths - my leadership abilities, my
drive and energy, the ability to connect with people; my area of
improvement – need to learn to relax and celebrate life, should not
be letting my ‘to-do lists’ drive my life, instead I should be
driving them. To focus more on the big and more important things and
giving priority to my family
I feel confident to build a better rapport with people by
considering the meta programs driving them. I am more conscious of
my unconscious tendencies.
I learnt many elements of coaching – how to involve each
participant, to be alert and aware all the time, not to break
connection with them, how to use short stories, quotes, incidents,
personal experiences, real life examples and case studies, games and
exercises to put your point across, the communication is about the
other person, presenting concepts in a simplified manner, adapt
yourself to the needs and desired outcomes of the participants,
combining your head and heart as per the situation. ability to deal
with different type of people; maintaining the enthusiasm and energy
from beginning till the end of the program, facilitating
experiential learning, with command over the subject
I liked all the concepts being taught (Drama Triangle, meta
programs..), . I am really looking forward to understand them in
depth and start applying them practically. I have started enjoying
the world of NLP which can work towards better quality of people’s
life across the world.
Gave me a new direction of thinking - thinking in the resourceful
and outcome state. I’ll be changing the way I approach my challenges
and problems
How can I use mind which is an incredible tool, if used
appropriately, how I can align my conscious and unconscious mind to
maximize my outputs
Daily travelling is no more a burden to me
I am experiencing a sense of freedom and power that I have never
experienced before. I am more relaxed with a renewed determination
and strength to face life once again. I am willing to do the
practitioner course for not only for my self development but to
spread this science of influencing people’s lives. I am confident
that I’ll be able to realize my dreams with the help of the tools
and techniques offered by NLP and have more control on my life.

Mumbai:
Dear Ashok,
I choose to write this report
today itself, since the feeling is fresh, and I would want to relive
the experience of the past three days! While I have started writing
the report, I am not sure whether I will be able to complete it
today itself!
Before coming to workshop, I had had the opportunity to read a book
on NLP, which left me curious about the concept, and I really looked
forward to a LIVE experience of NLP. This workshop offered me with
just that. As I am a counsellor by profession, I wanted to achieve
two objectives by attending the workshop:
1) Get an answer to my question
related to exercising control over consumption of junk food
2) Learning as much as possible
about NLP, the various concepts, models etc in it.
Before coming to the workshop, I thought that NLP is about models,
techniques and tools. After coming here, I realized that there was
much more to it than just techniques; that NLP is more about the
study of thoughts, behaviours and distinct characteristics that make
things work for some, analyzing and modelling attributes that make
some people successful, and a lot more.
Basically, I learnt that NLP is a way of life, and that there is a
lot to understand in the working of the mind, that is both exciting
and challenging.
The gibberish meditation, acting like animals, enacting several
emotions followed by lying down and then dancing was very relaxing,
and it helped me visualize my purpose in life a lot better. The
experience of visualizing the future and living it in the present
made my goal seem much closer, and much more achievable than before.
The concept of modelling another person without analyzing why he/she
might be doing so
helped me empathize with the person in a far more effective way, by
literally moving around in the world in his/her shoes.
I was fortunate to be the subject during the explanation of the
Parts Integration model. While the model by itself has intrigued me,
it would be special to me because it helped me deal with an issue
that has been bothering me for quite a while.
The other models were equally interesting, and I’m lucky to be
equipped with such priceless tools for additional use in therapy.
Observing the energy levels, body language and expressions of
fellow-participants of the workshop has further enhanced my
experience.
Before coming for the workshop, you told me that each subject is
different, and that a
combination of tools and models are essential in helping an
individual deal with his issue. And I understood this very well with
the way in which the various issues of fellow participants were
addressed.
I firmly believe that in life, nothing happens out of turn. The
reason why I was able to be part of this program is because it was
time for me to welcome you in my life. And it was indeed a brilliant
experience. I thank you wholeheartedly for giving me an opportunity
to learn so much from you, and being ever-willing to answer any and
all sorts of questions and giving us all an extremely meaningful
experience. Thank you once again! (I managed to complete the report
today itself, after all! )
- Sushma
Iyer Rasal, Personal Counsellor, Mind Over Image Consulting, Mumbai, India : attended Ashok's NLP Training
in the Hotel VITS, Andheri (E), Mumbai
I had specific reasons in mind when I decided to attend the NLP
workshop on 24 & 25th Mar. The same were discussed during the course
of the workshop in detail and we had a couple of demonstrations on
the same as well. After attending 2 days of workshop I actually
wanted to experience the change in my life for a couple of weeks and
then give you feedback about what I experienced.
I am feeling really good and have actually started appreciating and
enjoying all the things which are giving me happiness in life. The
major effect of this is that, my wife and father have also starting
observing the change in me and they are actually surprised to see me
happy and the change caused by me being happy.
Regarding the change in my perspective in the area of looking at
other people is that, now I have starting treating the other person
and his viewpoint more important than my own. The result of this is
that I feel that other people have started appreciating my being
around more that how it used to be before. I also feel more
comfortable interacting with other people as I am comfortable giving
them more importance than myself.
The NLP learnings shared by you have changed my life and want to
take this opportunity to really thank you for making this difference
in my life. Now I look forward for your continued guidance so that I
understand more areas of NLP for further improvements. Do share with
me if I have missed any areas of feedback.
Thanking you.

7 days NLP Practitioner (Residential)
Bangalore
Dear Ashok Sir,
Hi!
Its great pleasure to see how you balance work life with personal
life. happy to hear from your end. As i told you i am looking
forward to your workshop in Mumbai, do keep me informed.
Thanks a lot for the amazing experience I went through. my journey
was unknown but with each passing day I got to know where I was
heading. even after days have passed still certain things are
sinking in and they come to me in my daily life activitites. Its
strange for me the way a 7 day course has touched my life. I am sure
there is more to it and i am glad that i took this step in my life.
I dont know if it was your teaching or NLP but my vision is so much
clear now. I am now heading in one direction not like earlier my
feet was in 4 to 5 boats . I have discussed with you about all this.
but the beauty of this learning was it has been a collective effort
wherein I feel I unleashed many layers of my mind.
I see an all new me. I feel confident as a person unlike earlier
times. I am not ruled by fear, though little fear is still there but
thats natural may be.
I feel my exploratory nature has a direction now. i was a wanderer.
Things look lot more easier now. When I entered I was in huge
confusion about the course to everything but as days passed the
humour of yours to your teaching methods evrything started looking
so easy. NLP and your teaching is far beyond breaking patterns to
learning jargons for sure.
This is not all I am sure I would be discussing about my experience
for the coming months as well.
Thanks a lot for your support. I see it as a life long connect to
you as well to the fellow participants. Its more like a family.
Regards
- Japneet Anand, Psychotherapist, Mumbai
attended Ashok's NLP Practitioner Training (Residential) in Thali
Ashram near Bangalore - April 2012
The NLP Practitioner workshop at Thali aimed at bringing in a better
understanding to the concepts of NLP, did help me gain these results
to a great extent. The venue and Ashok’s unique style of
presentation added to this experience and brought in a deeper
revelation to the concepts.
Understanding and working on the deeper concepts and tools NLP has
to offer to improve one ’s self through experiential learning was a
key in the entire workshop. On reflecting back, my key learning’s
have been in the following areas:
Modeling: The entire exercise of modeling helped in gaining a
thorough insight into one of the key concepts of NLP. Having to
model an individual’s behavior patterns both at the physical and
mental level, brought out the key strengths this tool has. At a
personal level, a take away from this exercise was when I was asked
to model Alex, wherein it helped me relieve my personal innate
behavior of being closed and withdrawn and getting a feeling of “let
go”. This was achieved mainly by imbibing the casual physical walk
and the relaxed style of just taking in what comes by. An important
aspect here was trying to walk with letting my shoulder muscles
relax and inturn feeling the change in my entire persona. This might
seem as a simple task, but in reality it does take an effort to
change one’s unconscious habit. Modeling did bring this out into the
conscious state. Working closely with people and trying to identify
different models and their maps does help in bringing in an overall
change into an individual.
Sub modalities: Playing with submodalities at different levels of
Auditory, Visual, and Kinesthetic, was an enriching experience. This
concept brought to light the fact that there are numerous thoughts
and processes and events within our unconscious mind which affect
our behavior and thinking. Tweaking these events helps us deal with
building our persona to a different level.
Anchoring: Working on sub modalities of an event mainly which
carries pleasant experiences and associating it with a trigger,
proved to be a great self-realization tool. I found this exercise
very helpful, to incorporate anchors within our systems to function
better.
Feedback: Dealing with this concept for almost half a day helped
realize the whole concept. An important learning from this exercise
for me was to reflect on feedback as a map of the person giving
feedback. It brought out this new perspective which helped me deal
with negative feedback in a very rational context, and inturn
improve communication between both parties.
Apart from the above concepts listed, I would like to thank Ashok
for working with me to erase a painful experience during my
education. As a concept, reframing got explained explicitly.
Reframing of content and context certainly proves to a very powerful
tool to deal with the past.
The program design of introducing concepts and tools through various
exercises and experiences, some in a very subtle manner and some
very elaborate, has been pretty effective to help gain an overall
understanding. Presently as I reflect back and continue to do my
readings, these learnings come back in a flash, which assists in
relating it and adds more of a value. Examples here would be the
sessions on provocative coaching, the counseling sessions as well as
the various presentations by co-participants.
Going further with this journey, am now focusing on delving deeper
into these wonderful tools of NLP, which I feel are so strong in
bringing about changes to both our conscious and unconscious mind.
- Priya Gururaj, Trainer, Hongkong attended
Ashok's NLP Practitioner Training (Residential) in Thali Ashram near
Bangalore - April 2012
Over the period of 7 days, as each day progressed, I found all my
concerns evaporating, giving way to an assured confidence that I
have come to one of the best persons who could teach us the true
essence of NLP! Being a trainer myself, I know what differentiates
the best trainers from the rest- one big criteria is how he/she can
put across the most complicated ideas or concepts in the most simple
comprehensive manner. And that is exactly what you were doing.
Instead of bogging us down with technical jargons, you were
introducing us to new ideas and concepts experientially first,
giving us a feel of it, before even talking about it! .
The complete training experience has been transformational for me,
Ashok. The training was wholesome, more so being a residential
program.
One more distinct effect I noticed is that that concepts you taught
us have become deeply ingrained in my active memory system. I have
not referred back to any notes..and yet I am able to remember
everything quite clearly..and also apply them effortlessly! Kudos to
you for -”the Ashok’s-training-effect!”
So, that’s the honest feed back from me! I have so much to thank you
for Ashok! Its hard to limit a whole lot of emotions and gratitude
in just two simple words ‘thank you’. May God bless you and the
wonderful work you are doing. I would look forward to your continued
support, mentorship and friendship as I follow my heart and pursue
the big vision I have committed my life to.

Company, Hyderabad ; attended Ashok's Residential NLP Practitioner @
Kochi Outskirts - May 2011
Dear Mr. Ashok,
This is Jeyapal from Chennai.
How are you doing?
I am at my best these days.
I attended the NLP Practitioner course at Cochin from 13th to 19th
May, 2011.
Though it is almost a week since I completed the course, I am still
virtually living in that one week of wonderful experience.
This was the first time I was away from my family for seven days at
a stretch; that too, sleeping alone in a room without any one in the
whole floor was an entirely a different experience. The motherly
care you showered made me feel at home and enjoy those seven days.
Do you know one thing? I feel I am a completely different person
from the Jeyapal that he was before attending your training; it was
a sort of transformational one for me. I am more confident in life
than ever before. I am more courageous now. I am able to scare the
squirrel now now a days.
I had been thinking of playing a supportive role in our Training
career but now I am confident I can play the lead role.
Now, I am always aware that whenever things are in my control, I
have choices to choose from.
The meeting with Swamiji was also a god-sent opportunity as I feel I
already have got a sound all round health.
As a step towards Plan B of my Training career, I am attending the
Train the Trainers programme in the middle of June.
I was inspired by your simple way of life and facing the life as it
happens.
Thanks a lot and see you for the Masters course.
Regards,
- Jeyapal K, Director - New Life Catalyst
