NLP
NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming, a name that encompasses the three most influential components involved in producing human experience: neurology, language and programming. The neurological system regulates how our bodies function, language determines how we interface and communicate with other people and our programming determines the kinds of models of the world we create for ourselves. Neuro-Linguistic Programming therefore describes the fundamental dynamics between mind (neuro) and language (linguistic) and how their interplay affects our body and behaviour (programming).
Today, over two decades later, thousands of people have certifications in NLP. They are excellent communicators, superlative sellers, able to manage and change their state at will and have choice and flexibility in all that they do. In single sessions with others, they can accelerate learning, change their perceptions, improve spelling, neutralise phobias, enhance creativity and improve relationships. NLP cultivates curiosity and offers answers to HOW questions such as “How do they do that?” or “How does that work?” It provides the tools to reveal the underlying structure of the internal experience in such a way that it can be learnt or modelled by others. Some of these models are techniques for easily and quickly altering patterns of behaviour, capability, thought and belief.
What type of person or profession benefits from NLP?
NLP has been very successfully applied in many professions including education, sales, business, medicine, sport, law and communications. It can be used to solve practically any type of personal or professional problem you might encounter, especially communication. So – if you want to communicate better with yourself and those around you in personal, professional or leisure areas of your life, NLP has the tools to enable you to do this. The precise nature of the subject will allow you to find the answers quickly and easily. It can be used for self-improvement too, to give you more choices, to help you to become more resourceful and in control of what happens to you in any sphere that you choose.
Everything man has ever produced from an abacus to a zoo came initially from ideas, which were then turned into reality. So reality comes from ideas and you to can build ideas. So design hope – because it really and truly works. Those that create ideas will shape reality, which in turn they can share. So – what is the difference that makes a difference? Ask yourself – “Could I have a choice about how I respond to others, my behaviour or how I do things?” “Can I do it better or differently?” “How can I improve things for myself and others?” Be curious about yourself, strive for it, and in the process you will discover that you are competent to achieve whatever you want. In so doing, you will convince those around you and it will become infectious.

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 – only perceptions of reality. We experience and respond to the world around us primarily through our sensory representational systems. It is these ‘neuro-linguistic’ maps of reality that determine how we behave and that give those behaviours meaning, not reality itself. It is generally not reality that limits 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 and mutually influence each other. It is therefore not possible to completely isolate any part of the system from the rest of the system. Such systems are based on certain ‘self-organising’ principles and naturally seek optimal states of balance |
