What is NLP? What is NLP Training
In simple terms my definition of Neuro-Linguistic Programming is the
exploration of how we communicate, think and change with the aim of
replicating and improving great performance in any context.
NLP training is an exploration of
these attributes using both conscious and unconscious processes that
leads to increased communication skills, confidence, motivation and
success and is directly related to increasing our ability to influence
and persuade. It is also effective in overcoming blocks or barriers
caused by a lack of these skills.
This can lead not only to personal and business success but also
increased personal choice and freedom.

While there are many good NLP trainers, we suggest that if you undertake
any NLP training, that is accredited by either one of the co-founders of
NLP, Richard Bandler or John Grinder. They have both continued to make
significant advances and developments in NLP over the last 30 years -
not all trainers have kept up to date. Some people are still training
NLP as it was trained 30 years ago - despite what Bandler and Grinder
now say.
Exploring NLP is an experiential process and therefore book and
theoretical learning beforehand can be as much of a hindrance as help -
An NLP taster or NLP Training can give you that experiential experience
after which reading can be exceptionally useful for reinforcing the
experiential learning.
Understanding NLP, in the traditional sense, is NOT a requisite to being
effective at it. Practice is!
NLP Training isn't for everybody, but it's potential (for you) is such
that most people owe it to themselves to find out if it's right for
them.
However if you are unable or don't want to attend a training we have a
recommended selection of books.
What does learning about NLP require of me?
Achieving success with NLP is easy provided that you are prepared to demonstrate a degree of personal courage, honesty and commitment.
Can you explain what the letters NLP stand for?
Co Founder Richard Bandler and John La Valle explain Neuro-Linguistic
Programming as:
Neuro:
The Nervous System through which experience is received and processed
through the five senses.
Linguistic:
Language and nonverbal communication systems through which neural
representations are coded, ordered and give meaning.
Programming:
The ability to organise or communication and neurological systems to
achieve specific desired results.
What else:
Three further building blocks are:
Attitude:
What is the best physical and emotional state to accomplish a task? What
are the most appropriate beliefs to have about yourself and your client?
We explore which states and beliefs produce the best results in
different contexts.
Modelling:
When you want to be the very best at something, find out what people
that are already successful are doing to achieve those results. It
starts by asking good questions and moves on to learning a little bit
like we did as children...without letting our intellect interfere with
our learning!
Techniques:
A positive attitude and a passion for modelling will result in many new
techniques, techniques are a way of transferring what you've learnt to
others. People practicing NLP have produced many useful techniques to
help others to reach their objectives and overcome 'blocks' where
appropriate.
However the 'spirit' of NLP is as much about attitude and modelling as
techniques.
