About NLP Learning Systems

It's 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.

NLP was developed in the early 1970s by a Ph.D. in Linguistics and a Ph.D. in Psychology. It is built around the model that the human brain is a biological computer and, like all computers, it needs a software package that enables it to operate. The software that runs our brain is our linguistic package, the words we use in communicating with others and the thoughts we have in communicating with ourselves.

NLP in its simplest terms states that “the way we communicate, how we put together our communications, will do more to affect our outcomes than any other single factor.” If we change how we think, we will change our reality. If we know how another person thinks, and we can change what we do to match the needs of that person, then we will have more ability to achieve our outcomes in dealing with that person. NLP can be likened to a user’s operations manual for the brain.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 make sure the changes you help someone get are in her or his best interest. Knowing NLP gives you ways of protecting yourself from manipulation by others or the media.

NLP books are an economical way to find out more about NLP. Attending a seminar allows you to install the technology into behavior. Reading a book lets you know about NLP. 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 and along the way.
