Training in the Heart of Leiden

This Bootcamp takes place at the Human Optimization Headquarters in Leiden, The Netherlands - a beautiful private training space with high ceilings, big windows, natural light, and a location right by the historic canals.

Leiden is easy to reach from Schiphol Airport (17 minutes with train) and is one of the most beautiful historic cities in the Netherlands, with canals, cafés, restaurants, hotels, and everything close by.

This is not a hotel conference room. It is an intimate training environment designed for focus, practice, breakthroughs, and real integration.

Train With Jimmy van der Ham

Licensed Trainer of NLP™ | Human Optimization Specialist | Assisting on Dr. Richard Bandler's Training Team

Jimmy has attended many of Dr. Richard Bandler's trainings around the world, and has been part of the assisting team supporting Dr. Bandler's own live trainings - helping run practice groups, guide participants, and support the event from within.

He has also translated several of Dr. Bandler's books into Dutch - work that requires a level of precision with Bandler's language, distinctions, and patterns that goes far beyond simply attending a course.

This is the lineage you train in during the Bootcamp - not a secondhand version of NLP, but the patterns and precision passed down directly from its co-creator.

This Bootcamp is for you if

You want to learn NLP and hypnosis through direct experience, not just theory.
You are a coach, therapist, trainer, entrepreneur, leader, or communicator.
You want to become more effective in the way you communicate, coach, lead, or help people change.
You want to understand how the mind works and how change happens.
You want to use NLP with yourself, clients, teams, students, or people you care about.

This Is Not for You If

You only want to sit back and listen.
You want a certificate without practice.
You are not willing to participate, practice, and receive feedback.
You are looking for a large seminar where you can disappear in the room.

What You'll Be Able to Do After the Bootcamp

Take someone - or yourself - from frustrated and stuck to clear and motivated, in a single conversation, without needing weeks of talking to get there.
Pick up on the hesitation, tension, or resistance underneath someone's words, and know exactly how to respond to it instead of missing it completely.
Stop freezing or reaching for generic advice when someone gets defensive, shuts down, or gets emotional - know precisely what to say instead.
Move a person out of anxiety, doubt, or overwhelm and into focus and confidence, live, in real time, without needing a follow-up session.
Notice the moment an old reaction - self-doubt, procrastination, a familiar spiral - starts to take over, and consciously shift it before it runs its course, instead of only realizing what happened after the fact.

Bonus: 3 Live Integration Calls After the Bootcamp

Your learning doesn't stop when the Bootcamp ends. After the training, you'll join three live Zoom group sessions with me to review key NLP and hypnosis patterns, deepen your understanding, and answer the questions that naturally come up once you start applying what you learned.

Before you ask

What People Often Ask

What is Human Optimization?

Human Optimization is about upgrading the patterns that shape how you think, feel, communicate, lead, and perform. Jimmy uses NLP, hypnosis, communication, and unconscious change-work to help people create deeper and more generative change.

Who is private coaching for?

Private coaching is for business owners, coaches, and high performers who want to work on identity, mindset, state control, communication, energy, and performance in a focused one-on-one setting.

How is this different from regular coaching or therapy?

This work is practical, direct, and experiential. Instead of only talking about problems, we focus on changing the internal patterns behind how you think, feel, respond, communicate, and perform.

Do you still offer single NLP or hypnosis sessions?

Sometimes, but my main focus is premium private coaching for people who want deeper transformation and longer-term support. If a single session is the right fit, we can discuss that during the strategy call.

What is the Licensed Practitioner of NLP™ Bootcamp?

The Bootcamp is a 7-day immersive training in Leiden where you become a Licensed Practitioner of NLP™ through live demonstrations, deep practice, direct feedback, and official certification.

Can Jimmy train my group, team, or organization?

Yes. Jimmy is available for private workshops, masterclasses, online trainings, and group events designed around your audience, goals, and event.

Is this coaching, therapy, or training?

This is not therapy. Jimmy’s work is educational, practical, and change-focused. It uses NLP and hypnosis to help people understand and upgrade the patterns behind how they think, feel, communicate, and perform.

Do I need experience with NLP or hypnosis?

No. You do not need prior experience. Jimmy works with beginners, coaches, business owners, and experienced practitioners. The work is practical, direct, and adapted to your level.

What kind of problems can this help with?

People often come to Jimmy when they feel stuck in overthinking, emotional reactions, self-doubt, lack of confidence, lack of motivation, limiting beliefs, money blocks, communication blocks, pressure, fears, anxiety patterns, panic responses, addictive patterns, or old identity patterns. The work focuses on changing the internal patterns behind those challenges, not just talking about them.
