NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)

We can all change our perceptions, habits and language to transform  

your performance leading to a different, more positive life. 

In a business setting NLP techniques and tools allow people to become  

more motivated; they can dynamically improve work performance and boost sales 

What Is NLP? 

While many people have heard of NLP, there are some misunderstandings about what it is and how it can help to make positive changes in personal and work performance. 

NLP is short for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. NLP is frequently known as "the user's manual for your mind." Studying NLP gives us insight into how our thinking patterns can affect every aspect of our lives. 

NLP combines theories, models and techniques from a range of scientific and esoteric fields, to create accessible, understandable 'tools' which can be used by individuals, teams and organisations and applied in a variety of contexts to improve outcomes, support wellbeing and create positive change. 

NLP empowers, enables and teaches us to better understand: 

Neuro (brain) - the way we think and process our thoughts. 

Linguistic - the language patterns we use. 

Programming - how the way we think and the words we use can impact on our past, present and future. 

Simply put, change is possible - all you need is a desire to change and a willingness to learn new ways of being ...with yourself, your thoughts and with others. 

NLP was developed in the 1970s by an information scientist and a mathematician (John Grinder and Richard Bandler) who believed that our ideas, perceptions and behaviour could be better understood by looking at patterns of language.

They said that our thoughts, feelings and actions are like computer programs that we can change, as if we had installed a software upgrade, to create immediate and positive changes. 

How Does NLP Work? 

NLP uses specific techniques to help bring about positive change. You will discover a new perspective that allows you to understand that, while you can’t always control what happens, you can control how you perceive and deal with events and emotions. 

You will set positive goals that focus on what you want to achieve rather than concentrating on changing or preventing negative things. To do this we focus on what you really want.

For example, in a business context you might think you need more customers, but in fact what you want is to have a secure future for your company, supported by a more stable revenue stream.

On a personal level you might think you lack confidence and are not good enough at whatever you are doing. In fact you are good enough and you have got confidence. All you need to do is to change your perception of yourself.
