What is NLP
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is an evolving collection of skills, tools, beliefs and attitudes developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the 1970's. Over time these have evolved with the support and contribution of many distinguished developers from various fields, particularly the behavioural sciences.
The benefits of what has become known as the field of NLP has now been successfully applied to almost every area and aspect of life including education, health, commerce, and can be used to great effect by anyone who simply wants to achieve more, master the "ART" of communication, develop excellence in any given field, improve relationships, realise their latent potential, over come fears and phobias.
Regardless of the reasons underpinning your curiosity in NLP, the uncertainties regarding the economic economy and life in general, means there has never been a better time to commit to change, take control of your life, determine your destiny, and design your future. NLP is about learning to manage your own brain and physiology to enhance the quality of your outcomes and those of people around you.
N = Neuro:
The mind / body nervous system, and how it codes & process's "sensory" information from the world we live in.
L = Linguistics:
How we process sensory based information to create words, symbols, and metaphors which is our way of understanding, interpreting and communicating our perception of reality.
P = Programming:
How we order our actions (behaviours) to achieve our goals.
The term NLP has many definitions such as “a series of approaches to understanding how certain people achieve excellence in any given field” (known as modelling) and, “a series of techniques (often referred to as the NLP toolbox) which others can replicate, and in many cases, build upon that level of excellence”.
NLP Definitions:
- NLP is an attitude and a methodology which leaves behind a trail of technique's (Richard Bandler) Note: The techniques are the result of the Modelling process which explains why we integrate a modelling project into our practitioner Training.
- NLP is the study of the structure of subjective experience.
- NLP is whatever works (Robert Dilts)
- NLP is the teaching of the collective analysis of what works.
- NLP is a method of effective internal and external communication.
- NLP is an accelerated learning strategy for the detection and utilisation of patterns in the world. (John Grinder)
