NLP: Origin
NLP in Education* is a model of communication that was
originally founded by Richard Bandler and John Grinder.
In the 1970s the two men became curious as to how some
highly successful therapists were able to consistently
achieve that success. They wanted to find out HOW they
where achieving their successes rather than WHY they
were doing what they did.
NLP: Origin
The team of NLP researchers spent time
deconstructing how people such as
Virginia Satir, Milton Erikson and Fritz
Perls achieved their consistent success
with their clients.
NLP: Models
After studying extraordinary people,
Richard Bandler and John Grinder created
the following models:
Meta Model
Milton Model

NLP: Origin
What they identified was:
Change Agent!
NLP is known as a psychological vehicle
for change. It is primarily taught as a
set
of
assumptions
that
are
implemented in a one-on-one setting.
The change occurs as the person alters
their inner makeup (e.g., identity, core
beliefs, perceptions).
NLP
preaches
visualization, the
technique you hear of athletes using: they
imagine crossing the line, exultant in victory, so
many times and in such refulgent detail that
they, through some stroke of magic, cause the
victory to happen.
an unruly class
crucible of
should create an
internal movie of a lesson in which they feel allpowerful. Through a process of near-religious
transformation, they will suddenly be able to
control the most stubbornly difficult of broods.
Perceptual Positioning
Sometimes teachers need to ask their students
to look at something from an entirely different
point of view than the one they would naturally
adopt. Perceptual positioning is an approach
which can facilitate this. For example, the
teacher might conduct an exercise involving
three students of differing opinions where they
set up three chairs, each of which is tagged with
Presupposition
Presupposition deals with unspoken meanings in
dialogues. For example a teacher offers the class a
choice, Would you like to draw the diagram now or
complete the questions first? The message that both
must be completed is unspoken but nonetheless clear.
Allowing students this element of choice means
theyre more likely to focus on their decision about
which to complete first rather than challenging the
Positive Attitude
As teachers we have all the resources we need to
succeed. All we have to do is to know how to use our
skills. Businesses succeed because of the innate belief
that people can do what they say they are going to do.
Utter self-belief, een when it would seem to be flying
in the face of facts, will always win the day.
Pura Vida
In Costa Rica when people meet each other they say, Que tal?, meaning How are
you? The standard and automatic response is Pura Vida, meaning Its a great
life?
People who have a natural belief that it is Pura Vida are those who will find what
they expect.
Gareth James, Director of People Plus, said:
Always be positive- even when saying negative things! it takes 10 can dos to recover from
1 cant do negativity drains others of energy and de-motivates them to work with you.

Using Anchors:
To create a positive state. An anchor is
a stimulus that triggers in you or others

five senses- sight, sound, touch, smell
and taste.
