NLP - What is it and how can you benefit from it!

NLP stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming and was created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder about 30 years ago.

What is it?

It's basically an approach to improve thinking and communication skills

Why do people do it?

For a variety of different reasons including:

• Improving what they do now
• Developing particular business skills eg leadership, sales, executive coaching, presenting with impact and influencing
• Entertainment eg Paul McKenna and Darren Brown
• Changing habits eg stopping smoking, gaining confidence etc
• Attraction, seduction and enhanced pleasure
• Personal change and development

These can have a genuine, positive and significant impact on an individuals life

Where did it come from?

NLP is based on modelling good performance. The two co-founders Richard Bandler and John Grinder started NLP by modelling people who were able to help others develop and change.

NLP is particularly useful for anyone involved in personal or company change.

What are some of the basics?

NLP is really about exploring three areas:

• Attitudes that lead to success
• Modelling what works
• Developing and using techniques that result from attitudes and modelling

What is the learning style?

Its learning by exploring. Its experiential, you learn by going first.

If there is a key skill in NLP its listening and watching without interpreting.

How has NLP helped You?

I've found that I'm much more in charge of my life, communicating is easier and it has enabled me to open a lot of new doors.

Anything else?

Communication and learning leads to change. It starts with yourself and not others. It fun, tremendously rewarding, but can involve a certain amount of personal courage.
