Linguistic Programming (NLP) describes the
dynamics between our mind (neuro), our language
(linguistic) and how the interplay affects
our body and behaviour (programming). NLP
is the study of our neurology and how the
mind directs us, the impact of our verbal
and non-verbal language and how we consciously
and subconsciously program ourselves based
on the interplay. It gives us an understanding
of the interaction of our emotions, conscious
and sub-conscious, physical body and language
patterns all of which interact to govern
our thinking and behaviour. NLP contains
techniques to allow us to change our patterns
of behaviour, capability, beliefs and outcomes.
It is a very artful and insightful way of
discovering who we are, what we do, why
we do it and how to safely change it if
we want to move to get better outcomes.
NLP has a strong focus on ‘modelling’
successful ways of doing things and learning
the model so we can bring about exceptionally
fast and sustainable learnings.
NLP works on process, form, pattern and
structure rather than content. It is based
on tenants such as:
 Every
behaviour has a positive intent and is geared
to towards adaptation
People
make the best choice available to them at
any given moment as everything we do makes
sense in the moment we do it.
People
are not their behaviour.
For
things to change, first I must change.
If
you always do what you always done, then
you will always get what you have always
got.
If
what you are doing is not working, do something
else.
If
it is possible in the world it is possible
for me, it is only a question of how.
Law
of requisite variety applies so in all interactions
among people, the person with the most flexibility
and variation in behaviour can control the
outcome of the interaction. |
