What is Neuro Linguistic Programming?

NLP is a practical, effective "How to" technology for personal change and development, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is based on the study of the most influential components involved in shaping our experiences:-

Neuro - the unique way we filter and organise the information we receive through our senses about the external world and what is happening around us, and how this affects the way we think, our physiology, how we feel and how we behave.

Linguistic - how we express our experience to ourselves and to others through the language we use and how the language we use affects our experience, behaviour and feelings.

Programming - how habitual, often unconscious, patterns of thoughts and feelings developed through the course of our lives affect our current behaviour - and how these patterns can be changed.

Have you ever ...
  • wondered why you feel better able to cope at some times than others? And why some people thrive no matter what, and others struggle?
  • questioned why you get on well with some people and not with others?
  • wondered why some people are frightened about things that don't bother others?
  • been curious about how some people achieve what they set out to do, and others don't? Or set out to make changes in your life but not really achieved what you wanted?
The difference in each of these examples is not only what happens externally to the person concerned. The real difference is the way the person interprets what is happening to them and constructs their own experience of the external world.

By exploring how people who naturally do things well construct and communicate their internal maps - NLP has developed powerful and practical approaches to personal development, change and communication that significantly enhance our ability to be the best we can be, more of the time. The true magic of NLP is that it distils the essence of what works best in any field and translates this into an easily accessible "How to" technology.
