Practitioner of Neuro-linguistic programming

What is NLP?

"Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a meta-discipline which focuses on the discovery and coding of patterns which distinguish the most capable of the practitioners of some particular discipline (managerial practice, medical practice, sports, therapy ...) from the average practitioner.  These distinguishing patterns are the substance of NLP"

Dr John Grinder (co-originator of NLP)

NLP is a behavioural science focusing on the structure of human behaviour and modelling the patterns of behavioural excellence which enable us to better achieve our outcomes.  NLP helps us to understand:

• how and why people behave the way they do
• how people take in information
• how they deal with information
• how they use the information that they have

It is both a communication process and a set of tools that enable us to influence, communicate and respond so effectively that we can empower every aspect of your lives.  Developed by John Grinder and Richard Bandler in the 1970's, NLP was based on modelling the patterns elicited from Virginia Satir, a family therapist; Milton H. Erickson, a medical hypnotist; Fritz Perls, the father of Gestalt Therapy; and Alfred Korzybski, the originator of General Semantics.  Bandler and Grinder were very strongly influenced by Gregory Bateson with his work in cybernetics and systems theory. 

Constantly evolving from its original applications, NLP is now found in all aspects of human endeavour:

• Business
• Education
• Leadership and Management
• Performance Arts and Sports
• Consulting and Counselling
• Professional Coaching
• Health Sciences
• Professions of all kinds

As the study of human excellence, NLP has now become an acknowledged leader in the areas of behavioural science, education, psychology and performance development.

Why Become an NLP Practitioner?

Do you ever find yourself in a difficult situation with another person, maybe a team member, colleague or client? Or a friend or a family member?

Have you ever had difficulty in your chosen hobby with say, your tennis serve, your golf swing, reaching that note, getting in your "zone", reversing the car?

Do you have behaviours that produce results that you just don't want anymore?

Maybe, you have experienced that "Oh,oh! " feeling that tells you that this is not going to end how you want it to?

We are always doing behaviours, communicating and influencing - it's just that many of us don't realise that we 'can' change how we do these patterns and that we 'can' get the results we want. 

Becoming an NLP Practitioner is about learning about choices; learning how to set ourselves up to have choice in any moment, in our behaviours, emotions and thought patterns.  It is acquiring the tools to make the changes we want and to get the results we want.  It is learning how to assist others to make the changes and get the results that they want.
