Neuro-Linguistic
Programming (NLP) is a behavioral technology, which simply means that it is a
set of guiding principles, attitudes, and techniques about real-life behavior,
and not a removed, scientific theorem.
It allows you to change, adopt or eliminate
behaviors, as you desire, and gives you the ability to choose your mental,
emotional, and physical states of well-being.
With NLP, you
learn how to grow from every single life experience, thus increasing your
ability to create a better quality of life.
NLP is a very pragmatic technology based on an
ability to produce your desired results, thus allowing you to become proficient
at creating your future!
What is NLP?
Neuro: The
nervous system (the mind), through which our
experience is processed via five
senses:
Visual
Auditory
Kinesthetic
Olfactory
Gustatory
Linguistic:
Language and other nonverbal communication systems
through which our neural
representations are coded,
ordered and given meaning. Includes:
Pictures
Sounds
Feelings
Tastes
Smells
Words (Self Talk)
Programming: The
ability to discover and utilize the programs that we
run (our communication to
ourselves and others) in our
neurological systems to achieve our specific and
desired
outcomes.
In other words,
NLP is how to use the language of the mind to consistently
achieve our specific
and desired outcomes.
When was NLP created?
NLP was
initially created in the 1970’s by Richard Bandler a student of mathmatics and
gestalt therapy and John Grinder a Professor of Liguistics at The University of
California Santa Cruz. They began modeling and duplicating the "magical
results" of a few top communicators and therapists.
Some of the first
people they studied included Hypnotherapist Milton Erickson, gestalt therapist
Fritz Perls and family therapist Virginia Satir. Since then, many others have
contributed to the growth and development of the field.
Can anyone study NLP?
Yes, Today, NLP is widely used in business to
improve management, sales and achievement/performance, inter-personal skills;
in education to better understand learning styles, develop rapport with
students and parents and to aid in motivation; and of course, NLP is a profound
set of tools for personal development.
Some of our
students include Salespeople, Business Executives, Managers, Business Owners,
Lawyers, Teachers, Trainers, Counselors, Educators, Doctors, Chiropractors,
Massage Therapists, Consultants, Hypnotherapists, Psychologists, Athletes,
Entertainers and Performers. Regardless of profession, the majority of NLP
participants are searching, and finding, better and more effective ways to
increase their performance and improve their effectiveness.
What are some beliefs of NLP?
(This is a short
list summarizing some of the thinking behind NLP)
People are not their behaviors. Accept the person; change the behavior
People have all the resources they need to succeed and achieve their
desired outcomes
The meaning of the communication is the response you get
Everyone is doing the best they can with the resources they have
available
We are in charge of our minds and therefore our results
There is no failure, only feedback
