What is Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)?
NLP is the practical and pragmatic study of what produces all forms of human
performance.
NLP examine and
analyse the ingredients of excellent performance, by providing ways of transferring
the skills of excellence to others.The essence of NLP could be expressed in
the question How is it possible to be outstanding?
NLP studies the
structure of how humans think and experience the world. Obviously, the structure
of something so subjective does not lend itself to precise, statistical formulae
but instead leads to models of how these things work. From these models, techniques
for quickly and effectively changing thoughts, behaviors and beliefs that
limit a person have been developed.
NLP
is a set of procedures for personal development and performance improvement.
NLP is a model of effective communication

Framework
of NLP
Below you see
the framework of NLP from Nlp
at Work : The Difference That Makes a Difference in Business (People Skills
for Professionals) by
Often
referred to as the technology of the mind or the science of achievement, NLP
(Neuro-linguistic Programming) was first developed in the U.S. in the early
70's from studying the thinking and behavioural skills used by particularly
effective and successful people.
It is now used internationally by millions of people throughout the world
in such diverse fields as business, education, therapy, the military and police,
sport, and personal development.
Many of the models
in NLP were created by studying people who did things very well.
Models such as meta-model, metaprogram,Milton-model, representational systems
and submodalities among others, provide a diverse set of tools for creating
change in in a person and others.
By understanding
how a person perceive the world through the five senses, a person can then
understand how some people can respond very resourcefully in a situation and
others do not. Once a person learn how those who remain resourceful set up
their representations, then it's a simple matter to teach others to do the
same thing.
NLP
is a model of what works in individual performance. It is based on the principle
that if one person can do something then, given similar physical characteristics,
anyone else can learn to do the same by modelling and integrating into their
own repertoire the skills and attitude of the successful person.
NLP
is 'an incredibly effective and enjoyable way to access more of the true potential
of a persons's brain.
Representational
Systems & Submodalities
The
representational systems in NLP are simply enough the five senses. We represent
the world using the visual (images), auditory (sounds), kinesthetic (touch
and internal feelings), gustatory (tastes) and olfactory (smells) senses.
Metaprograms
Metaprograms
are filters through which we perceive the world. The old maxim, is the glass
half full or half empty is an example.
Presuppositions
NLP is
based on many useful
that support the attitude that change is imminent. NLP is about what works,
not what should work. In other words, if what a person is doing isn't working,
try something else, anything else, regardless of whether what the person had
been doing should have worked. Flexibility is the key element in a given system,
the one who is most likely to do well responds to changing or unchanging circumstances.
Presuppositions are beliefs that someone practicing
NLP will find useful for creating changes in themselves and the world, more
easily and effectively. The emphasis here should be on "useful"
not whether each one could be proven to be "true"
