Neuro Linguistic Programming

NLP was developed in the 1970s and focuses on language, unconscious biases, and modeling successful individuals. It uses feedback loops to understand how communication works and to achieve goals. NLP sessions can help with outcomes, awareness, flexibility, and rapport. Modeling involves representing exemplars' skills and adopting their behaviors, language, and strategies. Benefits include reducing stress, resolving fears and conflicts, improving skills like public speaking, and achieving goals.

Neuro Linguistic Programming

NLP tries to detect and modify unconscious biases or limitations of an individual's map of the
world. NLP is not hypnotherapy. Instead, it operates through the conscious use of language to
bring about changes in someone's thoughts and behavior. NLP provides people with a
methodology to model outstanding performances achieved by geniuses and leaders in their field.
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) was developed in the 1970s by John Grinder. ‘Neuro’ relates to the
way people absorb and filter information through their senses, namely sight, hearing, taste, smell and
kinesthetic (touch or emotional feeling).

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a psychological approach that involves analyzing strategies used
by successful individuals and applying them to reach a personal goal. It relates thoughts, language, and
patterns of behavior learned through experience to specific outcomes.
Proponents of NLP assume all human action is positive. Therefore, if a plan fails or the unexpected
happens, the experience is neither good nor bad—it simply presents more useful information.

HISTORY OF NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING

Neuro-linguistic programming was developed in the 1970s at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Its primary founders are John Grinder, a linguist, and Richard Bandler, an information scientist and
mathematician.

The ideas and approach found in NLP draw from two main areas of thought. The first is cybernetics,
a cross-disciplinary view of how systems are organised based on feedback that was developed in the
1940’s and 1950’s, and in which another major influence on NLP, Gregory Bateson, was a core
figure. The founders of NLP, Bandler and Grinder, echo central principles of cybernetics when they
say that `the basic unit of analysis in face-to-face communication is the feedback loop’ (Bandler &
Grinder 1979:2).
The second area of thought is the work of the Palo Alto Mental Research Institute in the 1960s, in
which Bateson again was involved. Significantly, the Palo Alto researchers emphasised the
pragmatics of human communication, which also characterises NLP, and constructivism, which is the
idea that people cannot know `reality’ as such, so inevitably they act according to constructions that
they create

HOW NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING WORKS

Modeling, action, and effective communication are key elements of neuro-linguistic programming. The

belief is that if an individual can understand how another person accomplishes a task, the process may be

copied and communicated to others so they too can accomplish the task.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming Session


NLP is essentially a solution based outcome and you will notice results after the first session itself.
Ideally, it could take between 1-3 sessions in certain cases more in complex situations

NLP incorporates models and theories from disciplines such as psychology, linguistics, anthropology,
mathematics, cognitive theory, and verbal and non-verbal communication.

NLP is often described as having four pillars.


1. Outcomes.
Defining what you want. It seems obvious, but one needs a clear vision of what one wishes to achieve.

2. Sensory acuity.
This concerns using the senses to be more aware of what is going on around you. It provides information
about whether your actions are moving you closer to your outcomes.

3. Behavioral flexibility.
This pillar is about not doing what you have always done, but taking different actions to get the desired
outcome.

4. Rapport

NLP considers rapport as a skill to be enhanced and developed. It includes adapting our communication
to suit other people or altering our body language to match others. It is this pillar that is sometimes seen
as manipulative.

Modelling in NLP
NLP modelling is the process of representing the patterns of organisation of the specific skills and results
of excellence of an exemplar; first in one's own system, then subsequently in a form which can be taught
to other people. Modeling" in NLP is the process of adopting the behaviors, language, strategies and
beliefs of another person or exemplar in order to 'build a model of what they do

Benefits of NLP:

1. Eliminating negative energy from self. NLP helps individuals bring down their stress levels, resolve
anxiety and incorporate positive feelings within themselves.
2. NLP helps individuals resolve fears and phobias using dissociation. Conventional methods usually
take years to cure phobia.
3. Improved soft skills and greater confidence and command in activities such as public speaking.
4. Peace within self and with others. NLP has been credited to resolve various conflicts.
5. Improved life style in general that involves changing behaviors and habits that can potentially harm
one’s mind and health.
6. Confidence in one’s own abilities that will help individuals develop managerial and leadership skills.
7. Knowledge of techniques that will help reduce or release stress levels.
8. The ability to listen effectively and grasp essentials.
9. Skills that are required to be able to work with a team at work or otherwise. NLP enables individuals
to build teams, maintain and run teams, and manage teams.
10. Creating long term relationships with peer groups, colleagues, family and other members of the
society.
11. Achieving various targets and goals in life. NLP programs will help individuals to work smartly and
effectively. These programs will also help individuals set their objectives and goals (both long and
short term), meet their objectives and performance goals.
12) NLP programs will enable individuals in identifying people’s natural learning styles
