NLP stands for
Neuro Linguistic Programming.
- Neuro: the unique way in which you translate the information you receive, through your senses, from the external world and what is happening around you. This translation impacts how you think, how you feel, your physiology and how you behave.
- Linguistic: how you express your experience to ourselves and to others through the language we use. Also, how that language then affects our experience , behaviour and feelings.
- Programming: how habitual and often unconscious patterns of thoughts and feelings have developed throughout life.
The Brain Is Our Most Powerful Resource
Yet we grow up without learning how to use it effectively. It would be helpful to at least have an instruction manual wouldn’t it?
An Instruction Manual For The Brain
The techniques, principles and attitudes of NLP provide a way for you to remove self-imposed limitations. NLP empowers you to have more helpful choices regarding your emotions and behaviours; as a result, you change the results you can achieve in all areas of your life.
What Does That ACTUALLY Mean?
Imagine your brain is a powerful computer and some programs in there contain a glitch. They keep running with that glitch, over and over again.
The glitch could be feeling sick as you step into a lift, a phobia of some sort, maybe it’s dealing with an over-active inner-critic, crippling nerves before an interview, unhelpful habits, limiting beliefs or even inability to make decisions.
Of course, these glitches don’t mean there’s anything wrong with you, they’re just not helpful, are they?
NLP teaches you how to rewrite that program so it runs without the glitch; it runs quicker; it runs smoothly and helpfully.
The Study of Human Excellence
NLP is the study of how people percieve reality and how they process information about the world around them. How people who are excellent at what they do, do what they do so well then breaking that down in to its component parts so that other people can replicate those patterns of excellence.
NLP is the ‘how to’ manual for the brain, similar to an app on your phone, where you can constantly access new versions full of different techniques to use your brain more effectively.
Have you ever noticed how some people are more confident than others?
Even though their capabilities may be similar?
Do you feel better able to cope at some times than at other times?
Have you ever wondered why some people thrive no matter what life throws at them, yet others struggle?
Have you ever questioned why you get on well with some people and others just rub you up the wrong way?
Have you ever wanted to know why some people achieve exactly what they set out to and others don’t?
Maybe you’ve been curious why some people have what appears to be an irrational fear about some things, such as flying, spiders or bugs.
Perhaps you’ve tried to make changes in your life, but never quite achieve what you wanted.
Have you ever tried to get rid of an unhelpful habit yet it always creeps back in?
Maybe you’ve tried to release weight and end up in a constant cycle of dieting and weight gain and just don’t understand why?
We all experience the world differently, what happens to us externally may be different and the way each of us interpret our experiences is completely different. Whether it’s something that’s happening in your life now or an experience from the past, the real difference lies in the way we internally translate and construct our own experience of those events.
Why Use NLP?
NLP has developed powerful and practical approaches to personal development, change and communication that significantly enhance your ability to be the best you can be, more of the time. The techniques and processes of NLP enable you to learn the underlying patterns of thinking, communication and behaviour that are used by those who excel. You will use it to develop the effectiveness of your communication, facilitate personal transformation, accelerate your learning and enhance your performance in all areas of your life.
It helps you become even better. An even better leader, an even better trainer, an even better business owner, an even better communicator, an even better sales person, an even better parent, partner, friend, coach, teacher…………an even better you!
Let me ask you a question
When you’re feeling positive, full of energy and confident, when everything feels balanced and ‘in flow’, you know that you have a better day, don’t you?
You see more opportunities, you hear a more positive inner-dialogue, it’s as if all those feelings combine to provide an incredible resource to support you in succeeding.
Now, imagine just for a moment, what it would feel like to be able to access that resource any time you wanted it? Perhaps before an interview, delivering a presentation, a meeting with your boss or a challenging client. Instead of that feeling of slight nausea, instead of wavering confidence and belief, instead of the incessant sound of the inner-critic, you’re able to simply step into that those feelings of positivity, energy and confidence? What difference would that make for you?
NLP Will Help You To:
- Enrich relationships with yourself and others.
- Perform at your very best more of the time.
- Develop deeper rapport, be more persuasive and increase your influence.
- Quickly free you from the chains of past negative experiences.
- Remove limiting beliefs, that inner voice that holds you back.
- Develop more helpful habits
- Create a compelling future and develop a clear and appropriate means of achieving it.
- Become more confident and develop strong self-belief.
- Overcome fears and phobias.
- Move away from overwhelm and procrastination as you become more resourceful through increased self-belief and self-appreciation.
