What is NLP?
NLP stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming.
Neuro is about the way our brains and bodies work. A human being is the most powerful computer in the world, and yet we never get given the manual for this amazing machine. NLP is the most in-depth user-guide that you could ever wish for.
Linguistic is about the way we translate our raw experience (thoughts, feelings, sights, sounds, tastes and smells) into words. Words are never as rich as the original experience that they describe, and so much meaning is lost through distorting, deleting or generalising. NLP helps you to uncover the lost meanings and get to the real heart of our rich experience.
Programming is how we have unconsciously created rules (programmes) for ourselves which govern every aspect of our behaviour. Sometimes these programmes no longer serve a useful purpose (for example reaching for a cigarette when we're under pressure). NLP helps you to discover what programmes you are running, identify which ones are helpful and which are actually stopping you from leading the life you deserve, and actually re-programming yourself to be able to do whatever you want to do, and be whoever you want to be.
NLP is quite simply one of the most powerful technologies available for the facilitation of personal or organisational change. It is a simple yet powerful approach to personal and professional development, based on the study of human excellence.
