What is NLP, Neuro-Linguistic Programming?

NLP is the exploration of how we communicate, think and change with the aim of replicating and improving great performance in any context.

 

NLP starts with an attitude, often of curiosity, of how things work, which leads to a methodology of modelling top performers.

NLP combines aspects of behavioural psychology, linguistics, hypnosis, modelling and common sense to determine and explore the attitudes and traits of top performers. It then provides a series of techniques to help individuals to integrate and apply these same patterns into their own daily lives.

Thousands of people around the world use NLP as a powerful catalyst for personal change and to improve business performance.

The creators of NLP, Richard Bandler and John Grinder, undertook extensive studies of people who were highly skilled and respected in the field of human change through which they derived the toolkit that you can learn on a Practitioner course.

Applications from this initial work are now found in many areas of personal performance development including coaching, sales, leadership, change management, influence and impact.

Personalities such as Tony Robins, Derren Brown and Paul McKenna use aspects of NLP to motivate and entertain, and top athletes use refined mental rehearsal techniques to reach the highest levels of performance.

You can even find applications of NLP in relationship, dating and seduction advice.

NLP Training

Exploring NLP is an experiential process and therefore book and theoretical learning beforehand can be as much of a hindrance as help - An NLP taster or NLP Training can give you that experiential experience after which reading can be exceptionally useful for reinforcing the experiential learning.

Understanding NLP, in the traditional sense, is NOT a requisite to being effective at it. Practice is!

NLP Training isn’t for everybody, but it’s potential (for you) is such that most people owe it to themselves to find out if it’s right for them.
