Report

Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) is a type of psychological therapy. It describes how to recognize, use and change mental programming.

Developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder during the seventies, the name NLP symbolizes the form of mental programs: Neurological experiences sorted and interpreted through structured communication.

It is based on three models:

· Neuro: Reality is processed by our five senses and nervous system into experience.

· Linguistic: Our experience is coded, organized and given meaning by language and non-verbal communication systems.

· Programming: Discovering, using and changing our behavior, language and non-verbal communication systems to achievedesired outcomes or directions.

Attitude, Methodology & Technology.

· An attitude characterized by a sense of curiosity and adventure and a desire to learn how to find out what kinds of communication influences somebody and the kinds of things worth knowing... to look at life as a rare and unprecedented opportunity to learn.

· A methodology based on the overall operating presupposition that all behavior has a structure... and that structure can be modeled, learned, taught, and changed. The way to know what will be useful and effective are the perceptual skills.

· An innovative technology enabling the practitioner to organize information and perceptions in ways that allow them to achieve results that were once inconceivable.

What else?

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) explores the inner workings of the human mind; how we think, how we develop our desires, goals and fears and how we motivate ourselves, make connections, and give meaning to our experiences.

NLP is like the ‘user’s manual’ for the mind, and allows us to use the language of the mind to consistently achieve our specific and desired outcomes.

When you learn NLP, you learn specific skills and patterns necessary to make positive changes, create new choices, be more effective with others, break free of old habits, self-destructive patterns and behaviors, and think more clearly about what it is you want and how to get it.

While it is difficult to find a consistent description of NLP among those who claim to be experts at it, one metaphor keeps recurring. NLP claims to help people change by teaching them to program their brains. We were given brains, we are told, but no instruction manual. NLP offers you a user-manual for the brain. The brain-manual seems to be a metaphor for NLP training, which is sometimes referred to as "software for the brain."

In essence, all of NLP is founded on two fundamental presuppositions:

1. The Map is Not the Territory. As human beings, we can never know reality. We can only know our perceptions of reality. We experience and respond to the world around us primarily through our sensory representational systems. It is our 'neuro-linguistic' maps of reality that determine how we behave and that give those behaviors meaning, not reality itself. It is generally not reality that limits us or empowers us, but rather our map of reality.

2. Life and 'Mind' are Systemic Processes. The processes that take place within a human being and between human beings and their environment are systemic. Our bodies, our societies, and our universe form an ecology of complex systems and sub-systems all of which interact with and mutually influence each other. It is not possible to completely isolate any part of the system from the rest of the system. Such systems are based on certain 'self-organizing' principles and naturally seek optimal states of balance or homeostasis.

All of the models and techniques of NLP are based on the combination of these two principles. In the belief system of NLP it is not possible for human beings to know objective reality. Wisdom, ethics and ecology do not derive from having the one 'right' or 'correct' map of the world, because human beings would not be capable of making one. Rather, the goal is to create the richest map possible that respects the systemic nature and ecology of ourselves and the world we live in. The people who are most effective are the ones who have a map of the world that allows them to perceive the greatest number of available choices and perspectives. NLP is a way of enriching the choices that you have and perceive as available in the world around you. Excellence comes from having many choices. Wisdom comes from having multiple perspectives.

NLP can help you to:

• Be more successful by learning to influence your emotional and psychological states.
• Replace negative behaviors and habits with positive ones.
• Transform the way you go about everyday tasks.
• Be more aware of your impact on others and how to manage your behaviour for optimal results.
• Better understand your own motivations, needs and behaviors and use these positively to have the greatest impact.
• Better understand your staff’s and customer’s needs, motivations and behaviors.
• Improve and enhance your interpersonal communication at the office and at home.
