NLP what?

You come home from a training that changed your life, and then you get the dreaded question from your friends and family: “What is this whole NLP thingie? We want something of what you got!”

There seems to be as many NLP definitions around, as there are Practitioners in the world.

For me,  NLP is a hotchpotch of things:

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), is a highly effective methodology of understanding how the brain codes experience and learning.  The structure of these codes can be changed, modelled and taught. 

Knowledge of these structures allows a practitioner of NLP to reach “impossible” goals they weren’t able to reach before,  manage their mind, create change effectively, and understanding how to achieve success and excellence.

NLP provides a toolbox full of techniques, methodologies and strategies to change (negative) beliefs, influence internal states and affect external behavior.  It offers instruments for advanced verbal, non-verbal, conscious and unconscious communication, influence, and persuasion. 

NLP is more then just a set of tools and techniques alone, it’s an attitude of thinking in terms of possibilities instead of problems.

See how that is received at the next birthday party you’ll attend?

On the Global NLP Training Institute website I made a graphical representation that perhaps makes it easier to understand, visit: What is NLP?
