NLP = How to Run Your Own Brain

In the late 1960's and early 70's a communication model emerged that took a different look at the way we communicate.

Not wanting this new model to fit into any existing discipline of psychology or therapy the founders, Richard Bandler and John Grinder called it Neurolinguistic Programming or NLP for short.

NLP is essentially a model of learning and demonstrates that we can model human thinking, behaviour and communication.

Initially the Neuro Linguisitic Programming model was used in therapy, but today NLP has many applications:

• NLP for business
• NLP for sales
• NLP for coaching
• NLP for communication
• NLP for training and education
• NLP for personal development

'Neuro' refers to our nervous system and recognises that communication is so much more than words. When we give or receive information our neurology and our physiology (mind-body system) is affected. We re-present reality on the screen of our mind.

'Linguistic' refers to the way that words create meanings when they are used to communicate. Humans are meaning making machines and are eager to make 'sense' of any communication. In the urgency to make meanings from events or communication, dis-empowering conclusions are often drawn.

'Programming' infers that we can take control of this process and run it more effectively, just like computer software. With NLP, if something is not working for you it is possible to re-program your neurology and physiology to behave in a different and more empowering way.

Neurolinguistic Programming, NLP,is the cutting-edge model about training:

Neurolinguistic Programming, NLP, as a model of human functioning, takes a very different attitude from some of the old psychologies. In NLP, we do not start from the assumption that people are broken. No. Instead, in NLP, we assume the opposite - that people work perfectly well, that they have all the resources that they need, and that the only problem isn't with them, but with their programming.
