Events

There’s almost always something going on in the Meta Family, and this is where you’ll find all you need to know about the Events we have coming up. We run a few open programmes each year, one for those who have been on our Journey to Mastery professional development  programme, and the Meta Leaders Network where we get all the leaders in our Meta family together to explore and discuss what it means to be a leader in the hybrid era. 

NEXT NLP REFRESHER DAY – 6 MARCH 2025

We’ve met some amazing leaders over the years, and many of them have been participants in our Journey to Mastery NLP programme. During the 6 month, 8-day programme you learn so many NLP-based tools and techniques, that it’s useful from time to time to remind yourself of just how many NLP tools you have in your toolkit. The purpose of our NLP Refresher days is two-fold, to remind those who have been on the programme of the tools they learnt and their direct application ‘in the real-world’, and to give those who are curious about NLP and our Journey to Mastery programme an opportunity to have a day where they learn and get to experience Meta’s approach to NLP first hand. Our Halloween refresher day had a mix of old and new Meta family members and what a day we had. I love these days, they are quite the favourite thing that I get to do as Meta CEO – the NLP tools are so magical and yet so practically useful and, to a fault, every single person said that (a) the day was perfect timing for them, (b) that it was everything they’d hoped for and more, and (c) that they would recommend the days to anyone! So don’t take it from me, take it from them – it’s a great way to experience Meta & NLP in an informal, supportive group environment. We have just posted some photos from our Halloween event on our NEWS page, so take a look to see how much fun we had. 

So why not get in touch with Jo on jo@metapositive.com to come experience it for yourself? We already have the next day in the diary – it’s on Thursday March 6th and will be held at the Cheltenham Chase hotel.

META LEADERSHIP NETWORK – DATE CONFIRMED FOR 3RD JUNE!

Being a leader can be a lonely place. Sometimes it’s useful to check in with other leaders from all sectors to share stories, discuss the common issues that you face, and share best practice. So, in 2025 we are getting our Meta leadership network back together to explore the realities of being a leader in the hybrid era, and we are delighted to announce that we have now confirmed a date for our META LEADERS NETWORK. It will be held at a special venue just outside Oxford that we will reveal (along with our exciting new partner for the event) in our next Meta update. The topic up for discussion is ‘Leading in the Hybrid Era’ and we want leaders from all sectors (yes that means you!) to come debate the pros and cons and have a conversation about the realities of leading in the hybrid era. We know that many of your diaries get booked months in advance, so pencil it in your diaries now, and you can also register for it now by emailing Jo on jo@metapositive.com to secure your spot.

JOURNEY TO MASTERY IS RETURNING FOR 2025

After a hiatus of two years, we are re-starting our life-changing Journey to Mastery programme. This NLP based programme is our flagship professional development programme, it’s where you get to learn the secrets of excellence and develop a toolkit that will enable you to thrive in even the most challenging of times. We are looking now for Journey to Mastery recruits and are hoping to start the Journey in September 2025. If you have a star of the future in your team you’d like to invest in, if you would like to take your own development to the next level, then get in touch with Jo on jo@metapositive.com – this programme is for you!

IF YOU WANT ANY FURTHER INCENTIVE, TAKE A LOOK BELOW AT ONE OF OUR REFRESHER EVENTS

In April we held our first NLP refresher day of 2024, and it was such a delight to see familiar faces from the Journey to Mastery family and have such a powerfully purposeful and practical day together. We also had a LOT of fun as you can see in the photos! 

We had decided that, from now on, we’d open up the days to new people curious about NLP and Meta’s approach to it. Safe to say that all those who attended, new and old, were unanimous in their appreciation and gratitude for the day. It was truly magical, and I have to say that, for me, it’s the highlight of my year running these days.

To watch people have those ‘a-ha!’ moments is an absolute joy and honour, and it’s so wonderful to see how deeply Meta and the Journey to Mastery has impacted people’s lives. It’s a day full of purpose and, most importantly, LAUGHTER.

The next day is going to be a memorable one and we’re hoping that, by announcing it now, some four months ahead of the date, it will mean that even the busiest of you will be able to get it into your diary! And remember, it’s not just for previous attendees of our Journey to Mastery programme, it’s for any of you who want to have a fuel-tank -filling day with Meta, so if you’d like that, just get in touch and we’ll get you signed up. 

If you’ve not been to a Journey to Mastery refresher for a while, if you’ve not seen or been in touch with Jo or Di, this is the perfect opportunity to reconnect with Meta and with your fellow JtoM family, along with reminding yourself of all the AMAZING NLP tools we promise you will still have in your toolkits (even if you haven’t used them in a while!). We look forward to seeing you there!

THE JOURNEY TO MASTERY REFRESHER DAYS

Journey to Mastery Refresher Days are open to those who have been on the Journey to Mastery programme with us, AND one to anyone else in our extended Meta family who has worked with us over the years, as this day goes back to the fundamentals! 

During the Refresher Days we remind you of just how many Meta NLP tools your have in your toolkits and how useful they are for both the new hybrid work environment and for making life feel great again! We also make sure that this is a truly POSITIVE day – a METAPOSITIVE day – full of laughter, joy and good old fashioned FUN.

Meta Leaders Network events are a great chance to meet like-minded leaders, share knowledge, best practices, and have time to think and reflect on things you probably don’t normally get time to do in your working day. Our Meta Leaders Network events have themes for discussion, which we will share with you in advance of the event, and we are also there to help you navigate challenges which arise with our Meta toolkit of working smarter not harder techniques.

THE JOURNEY TO MASTERY – OUR FLAGSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME (for leaders and professionals who want to excel)

Can you believe we’ll have been running our flagship Journey to Mastery professional development programme for over 20 years? The Journey has helped so many of our Meta friends and family fulfil their potential in both their professional and personal lives and, over the years, we have refined it and made it even better. We also now cover hybrid/virtual working and business in the post-pandemic landscape, so it is current and relevant to this modern world.

If you’ve been on the Journey, you know what a magical, transformational, development process it is. The updated Journey also has more emphasis on professional leadership skills, as well as the personal development and coaching side, so you can take all your new excellent skills back to your organisation to share with the team and implement in the workplace.

Don’t just take our word for it, here is what some of our lovely Journey attendees have to say about the programme:

“Coming on JtoM gave the confidence & belief to apply for a new role in my organisation that I wouldn’t normally have applied for and.. I got it!”
