What is NLP?

October 15, 2008 – 6:34 pm by terri

NLP has completely changed the lives of thousands of people world wide and is said to be the most valuable set of skills, tools and techniques ever put together. It is fast, it is effective and it is fun. Once you’ve done your NLP Practitioner training, you’ll have some awesome skills and very useful abilities to affect every area of your life in ways that will quite astonish you and those you live and work with.

NLP can be likened to a ‘tool box’ of mental, emotional and physical skills, tools and techniques collected from all forms of effective excellence in all walks of life. It is the study of what works well and what works quickly. It is about looking for excellence in people and then modelling that excellence so it can be replicated for use by and for the benefit of and others, including your self. Most of the tools, skills and techniques in NLP today came from modelling excellence.

Your NLP training will teach you the methodology for you to learn and discover how to succeed and excel in your particular field of expertise. The secrets behind prosperity, success, achievement and brilliant human performance of every description have been studied and modelled by NLP masters for about 30 years now, and all of these results have been reduced to simple, very effective strategies that you will learn on your NLP training. The secrets of what makes great people great, what makes happiness and how to master your life are in the NLP tool kit for you to learn and install in yourself.

Some NLP benefits are:

Confidence
The ‘flow state’ or the ‘zone’
Making people like you
Repairing relationships
Building new relationships
Communicating excellently
Writing fantastic, moving speeches, letters and adverts
Persuading and influencing others
Getting rid of unwanted habits and behaviours
Recovering from past hurts, disappointments and traumas
Coping well with criticism and compliments
Gaining personal power and magnetism
Positive thinking
The mind set of making money
Choosing great states and moods at will

Resolving conflict and also resolving inner conflict
Finding effective solutions to problems
Changing beliefs
Changing self image and installing self esteem
The art of asking excellent questions
And so much more

it’s a job interview or a competition or winning a client or being the one chosen, NLP makes it much easier for you to win and succeed. NLP gives you an unfair advantage over others because you’ll learn how to be the best and how to ‘read’ people, how to predict what they’ll do or think, what makes them tick and how to influence and persuade them.

NLP helps you to live your life with more zest, joy and enthusiasm every day.

Essentially it is a ‘users manual’ for the body, brain and mind. It clearly explains in simple language how and why you do what you do, how and why you feel what you feel, and how to change easily and effortlessly. Any and every human skill, including happiness, great relationships, wealth mastery, fame, genius, sport and every other human skill, has a structure and a strategy and because of this, it can be discovered, learned and installed in others. Many of these have already been clearly mapped by NLP masters and are available for you to install in yourself on your NLP training. The skills tools and techniques are included in your training and so are the methods for acquiring more of them.

The NLP training is full of practice sessions that are great fun. You get first hand experience as you do the practical exercises and as you watch others, especially your trainer, doing them. Hearing or reading words alone does not always result in the skill being acquired, so everything you hear or read on your training includes a practical exercise for you to experiment and play with. The training is easy, fun and playful even though you’ll be learning many serious, powerful, life altering skills and abilities.

NLP is a prestigious, respected international accreditation, providing you’ve learned via a reputable school with a qualified, recognised trainer. Your NLP skills will increase your worth at work and is a valuable addition to your CV. Your qualification affords you the right also to see paying clients, making you extra money on evenings or weekends, or you could even start your own business, a private practice as a Therapist or a Life Coach, which is a very rewarding career. You will be able to help other people solve their problems, break through blocks and limitations in their lives, heal their past, condition themselves for success and remove fears, habits and phobias.

It is not surprising that so many people become passionate about NLP after doing their practitioner, especially if they’ve had a good, seasoned, knowledgeable trainer with a good grasp of the subject and able to bring life, enthusiasm and clarity into it. The field is absolutely fascinating and enchanting. It includes so much old and new, ancient and modern, wisdom re packaged in a way that works for today’s demands of society and life style. There is nothing entirely new in NLP since it is all gleaned from the greatest mankind has every achieved, yet it is entirely new to most people who have not had the time or the exposure or the finances to spend thousands of hours studying hundreds of laborious difficult books trying to make sense of it all. The greatest human knowledge and discoveries are pieced together in the most practical and usable ways so you get all the benefits without having to study tons of boring theory too.

NLP was developed at the University of Santa Cruise, California in the early 1970’s by a group of students and professors studying human change and looking very practically for what actually works, irrespective of any theories about what should work or guesses as to why things don’t work. Most of NLP was gleaned from the works of great minds over the ages:

Anchoring – Behavioural Psychology — Pavlov, “Conditioned Reflexes”, 1904
Chunking – Alfred Korzybski, Erickson, Watzlawick — General Semantics
Eye patterns - Stanford University, research on synesthesia in the early 70’s
Milton Model -Dr. Milton Erickson, the esteemed brilliant psychiatrist/hypnotist
Meta Model — Noam Chomsky (applied in therapy: Virginia Satir, “Conjoint Family Therapy”)
Outcome Frames - System thinking, Business studies and goal achievement
Parts – Fritz Perls, Virginia Satir
Reframing – General Semantics, Watzlawick, Keeney
Sleight of Mouth — Patterns of Plausible Inference, G. Polya
SubModalities – Work on Synesthesia at Stanford University 1970-1978
Strategies, TOTE — Miller, Galanter & Pribram, “Plans and the Structure of Behaviour,” 1965
Time Lines - William James, Principles of Psychology, 1890, the Chapter on Memory
Neurological Conditioning comes from Behavioural Science experiments
Sensory Acuity - used extensively by the CID and the military to tell if a witness or a soldier is lying or telling the truth.

NLP became famous for its incredibly quick and effective techniques, such as the 5 minute phobia cure and the Six Step Reframe for removing habits and creating weight loss, yet NLP is far more than the techniques, it is the attitude and methodology that gave birth to the techniques, and it is a set of building blocks and tools from which more techniques may be created or discovered.

An NLP-therapist is a therapist using the procedures mentioned above.

NLP techniques offer some particularly useful help for businesses in the areas of change management, sales, leadership, dispute management, recruitment, motivation and consulting. If you don’t know NLP, you won’t notice when it’s being used.

NLP has completely changed the lives of thousands of people world wide and is said to be the most valuable set of skills, tools and techniques ever put together. It is fast, it is effective and it is fun. Once you’ve done your NLP Practitioner training, you’ll have some awesome skills and very useful abilities to affect every area of your life in ways that will quite astonish you and those you live and work with.

The progression is from NLP Practitioner to NLP Master Practitioner. After that, and once you’ve practiced and attained a level of mastery, you may then do NLP Trainer’s training and begin teaching NLP.
