Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)

What is Neurolinguistic Programming?

NLP was created in the 1970s by John Grinder (a linguist) and Richard Bandler (a computer programmer and mathematician) to provide an amazingly powerful set of techniques for achieving consistent excellence both in personal development and in business.

NLP was created through modeling the language, physiology and mental processes of outstanding therapists Fritz Perls (Gestalt therapy), Virginia Satir (Family therapy) and Dr. Milton Erickson (world-renowned psychotherapist and hypnotherapist) and by careful study of highly successful individuals.
The basic premise of NLP is that the words we use reflect an inner, subconscious perception of our problems. If these words and perceptions are inaccurate, they will create an underlying problem as long as we continue to use and to think them. Our attitudes are, in a sense, a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The reason that many multi-national companies, entrepreneurs and small businesses are using NLP is simple. It helps us develop the ability to perform at our best, to tap our true potential, and to be powerful communicators by utilising the power of our minds. NLP gives us the skills to do this.
