NLP Information Articles

NLP is all about how your mind works, how you form your subjective experience and modeling excellence
Neuro refers to the neurological processes of seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling and tasting which form the basic building blocks of our experience
Linguistic refers to the way we use language to express our experience and communicate with others
Programming refers not to programming as in computers but rather to the strategies we use to organize these inner processes to produce results
The Cornerstones of NLP are;
OUTCOME
Know what you want; have clear idea of your goal in each situation.
SENSORY ACUITY
Be alert and keep your senses open so as to know what you are getting.
FLEXIBILITY
Be flexible enough to change your behavior until you get what you want
RAPPORT
Be able to establish good relationship with one another.
NLP is a state of the art set of communications methods for enhancing personal and professional development and for creating personal change gracefully. NLP is also described as "software for your brain", allowing you to automatically tap into the kind of experiences you want to have.
Q. What can NLP do?
A. It lets you model, or copy human excellence in any form. With NLP, you can identify what makes someone exceptionally skilled, and get that skill for yourself or teach it to others. NLP can help you become adept in whatever is important to you, whether that means getting along with your family and co-workers or being more effective on the job.
Q. Where is NLP useful?
A. NLP is valuable wherever human communication skills can enhance results, in business consultation, management, negotiation, education, counseling, therapy, relationships, parenting, nursing, public speaking, sports performance and many other areas.
Q. What kind of results can I get with NLP?
A. NLP can allow: a salesperson to significantly increase their business, a therapist to change the impact of the past on a client, a teacher to change a poor speller into a good speller, a business person to gain rapport nonverbally and to run meetings efficiently, an athlete to improve concentration, and more. The results you get depend on the specific application, and with NLP there are many.
Q. Will NLP change the way I think?
A. Probably. NLP is a model of how the brain works. When you understand what yours can do, you'll probably want to use it to greater advantage
Q. Does NLP deal with emotions?
A. Yes. This is one of the things NLP does best. You can experience it for yourself in a seminar. NLP helps people transform debilitating emotions into empowering, resourceful feelings. Since many therapies are very slow, based on catharsis or venting your feelings, many people associate personal change with the expression of a lot of unpleasant feelings. NLP offers a much more pleasant, effective way of dealing with emotions. We assist people in going through old memories in new ways, quickly transforming unpleasant experiences into positive resources. We do not get into your personal content.
Q. Can you use NLP on yourself?
A. Yes. You can use some NLP patterns with yourself immediately. This includes: changing your feelings, learning a new thinking strategy, changing habits, motivating yourself and more. Other patterns/techniques are primarily useful in working with others.
Q. Is NLP manipulative?
A. Since NLP is so powerful in getting results people want to know that it will be used to benefit them. Our trainings emphasize ways to ensure the changes you make are in your best interest. Knowing NLP gives you ways to protect yourself from manipulation by others and the media.
Q. Can I get the results I want by reading a book, or is it better to attend a seminar?
A. NLP books are an economical way to find out more about NLP. Attending a seminar allows you to install the technology into behavior. A training is the easiest way to have NLP skills become a natural part of your behavior as they allow you to observe live demonstrations, practice in an encouraging environment, get individual feedback and make personal changes along the way.
Q. What is the relationship between NLP and The Silva Method?
A. NLP is very left-brain and actually mathematical; Silva is a right brain process. Together when used by one individual, it promotes WHOLE BRAIN THINKING. There are some situations where Silva works best and other situations where NLP works best. Having both set of tools allows a person to expand their use of the brain and methods of problem-solving and change management
