Free, live, online - every month

The monthly
masterclass

One evening a month with Jimmy van der Ham, free and live. You will not be watching a webinar - you will be doing the patterns, on the night, on yourself.

What an evening actually looks like

A masterclass in progress. People join from wherever they are.
  1. 1
    Jimmy demonstrates
    A real pattern, run live, usually with a volunteer. Not a slide about a technique - the technique.
  2. 2
    You do it
    You run the same pattern on something of your own. This is the part people remember.
  3. 3
    You ask
    Open questions at the end. Jimmy answers the room, not a script.

Who is teaching

The lineage he trains from

Jimmy van der Ham is a Licensed Trainer of NLP™, trained directly by Dr. Richard Bandler, Co-Creator of NLP.

He has attended Bandler's trainings around the world and served on the assisting team for Bandler's own live events - running practice groups and guiding participants through the exact processes you'll experience in these two evenings.

He has also translated several of Dr. Bandler's books into Dutch, work that demands total precision with Bandler's language and patterns - precision that only comes from training directly under him, not from a certification manual.

This is the lineage Jimmy trains from: not a secondhand version of NLP, but the patterns passed down directly from its co-creator.

Founder of Human Optimization (Leiden, NL), Jimmy has taught NLP Practitioner Bootcamps in the United States, Italy, and the Netherlands, and trains people from around the world online every week.

His approach is direct, practical, and experiential. This isn't about talking through your problems - it's about changing the internal patterns behind your results. That's exactly what these two evenings, and the Bootcamp that follows, are built to do.

Before you ask

Questions people actually have

Do I need any experience with NLP?
No. These evenings are built for people meeting this properly for the first time, and they are still worth attending if you have read about it for years. You will be doing the patterns either way.
Is it really free?
Yes. Both evenings, no card, nothing to buy on the night. They exist because the best way to understand this work is to feel it happen once.
What if I cannot make one of the dates?
Register anyway - one sign-up covers both evenings, so you keep your place at the other one. These evenings are built to be experienced live, so plan to be there if you can.
Do I have to be on camera?
Camera on is better - Jimmy reads what is happening in front of him, and you get more back. Nobody will force you, and nobody is put on the spot.
What do I need on the night?
A browser and somewhere you will not be interrupted for ninety minutes. Zoom opens in a browser - nothing to install. Headphones help.
Is this the same as the Bootcamp?
No. These two evenings are the on-ramp: a real taste of the work and how Jimmy teaches it. The Bootcamp is seven days in the room in Leiden and ends with certification.
What language is it in?
English.
Is the evening recorded?
Plan on being there live - that is the whole point of it. Recordings are not part of what you are signing up for.
After the evenings

Licensed Practitioner of NLP™ Bootcamp

The masterclasses are the on-ramp. This is the certification. 15 - 21 February 2027, Leiden, the Netherlands.
