What is Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)?

 

NLP is the most advanced technology for personal development that we have today. It is the understanding of how people organise their thinking, language and behaviour to produce lasting results.

 

Neuro: The nervous system (the mind), through which our experience is processed via five senses:

- Visual

- Auditory

- Kinaesthetic

- Olfactory

- Gustatory

 

 

Linguistic: Language and other nonverbal communication systems through which our neural representations are coded, ordered and given meaning.  Includes:

- Pictures

- Sounds

- Feelings

- Tastes

- Smells

- Words (Self Talk)

 

 

Programming: The ability to discover and utilize the programs that we run (our communication to ourselves and others) in our neurological systems to achieve our specific and desired outcomes.

 

In other words, NLP is how to use the language of the mind to consistently achieve our specific and desired outcomes.

 

NLP was developed in the early 1970’s by John Grinder and Richard Bandler. They modelled great people like Fritz Perls, Virginia Satir and Milton Erickson. behavior.
