I've trained with her a couple of times over the years she uses a tool called the LAB Profile which takes some of the language patterns identified with NLP and runs a couple of marathons with it. I've found it a pretty useful tool to use informally, when listening to people and spending time working out with them their motivations and things  that ARE NOT motivating to them
