NLP stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming. It was developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the 1970s. They developed models that help us understand how people represent reality to themselves and, further, how understanding can be used in ethical ways to conduct change in work and enrich people's understanding of what is happening.
NLP also offers a range of techniques, which can enable great insights into the way in which we think, feel and behave.
Essentially NLP is about how language affects behaviour.
Why are people using NLP?
Managers, teachers, trainers, therapists, consultants and coaches have become increasingly aware that competence has a task and relationship side. The relationship side is about human relations, understanding how somebody is and from what inner connections his or her behaviour is based on. And then the task is about results understanding how can we help people to be more effective and create more choice for themselves. The powerful proposition of NLP is that it synthesises these two aspects.

The management of the balance between the theory and the practice of applying the skills and techniques was perfect. The quality of the feedback offered by Helen, together with her ability to challenge with care helped to really embed my personal learning." |
