Important Questions

What is NLP?

One of the most effective and powerful methodologies for creating personal and organisational change began being developed in the 1970s.

Its name, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, has given rise to much speculation about what NLP is, how it works, and who it is for.

Looking at the name it begins to suggest that Neuro-Linguistic Programming(NLP) has something to do with

the brain (neuro), and
the use of language (linguistic), and
the patterns of thought (programming) we use.

In summary, NLP allows us to understand the way we use language and sensory data (sights, sounds, feelings, smells, tastes) to programme our record of our experiences and our thoughts about the present and the future.

Not only can we understand our thought processes but we can also re-design and enhance them so that our programming allows us to behave more and more consistently with the way which achieves goals which are valuable to us personally as well as to our businesses.

The methodology and techniques continue to be developed today. NLP had its origins in the therapeutic context. In recent years the emphasis for application of NLP skills has moved into the arena of business communications. While much is spoken of "communication" in the business world,NLP is the synthesis of knowledge and skills which provides the know how to improving communication in business.
