NLP - Your Pathway to Success
March 14, 2008 – 2:57 amNLP, is the abbreviated version for Neuro Linguistic Programming. It was developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in 1970’s and is basically a behavioural science which is now being extensively used by NLP experts to help individuals and professionals excel in various facets of their lives.
To put in simpler words, NLP stands for an explicit model of human experience and communication. It’s a science, a methodology for modelling human behaviour. Generally, NLP is used to model examples of human excellence in every field and duplicate those features.
The use of NLP encompasses various forms of human interaction including motivation, memory, communication, relationships and behavioural patterns. NLP gets used here to model this human interaction. And perhaps for this reason NLP sometimes has been termed as “the science of human excellence!” NLP training can be helpful to those who aspire to widen the horizon of their power of communication with others. NLP techniques and tools are very helpful to those who are associated with business, sales and marketing, human resources and management, education and training, performance and meditation. Today NLP has entered almost into every walk of life.
Apart from being helpful at the outer level of human behaviour, NLP also turns to the unconscious behaviour. Our habits and behaviour patterns work at the unconscious level. NLP comes here to help realize and alter the unconscious behaviour to our advantage. NLP helps us to look into how information is processed and stored in our minds and how the change in our behaviour and feelings takes place. NLP equips us with the tool to realize the working of inner consciousness, enable us to make some necessary changes in us and can help the others to do the same. In other words, NLP gets you acquainted with working of your brain. For this particular reason, NLP finds its place in most of the personal development courses, coaching and other training programs.
NLP has entered in all areas of work places and lives of people. There are also many differing views regarding the advantages and disadvantages of NLP training. This claims are like “It will revolutionize your life” and “it is a pseudo-science used to prey on the gullible”. Like any other tool NLP also can be misused in the hands of unwise people. NLP can also be applied in large group as an effective tool to manipulate nave buyers. Thus the appropriate use of NLP can benefit people in multiple ways.
Today NLP is being adopted in education, teaching, self-study and corporate world. One can make use of NLP to ones own benefit and to that of clients. It is to suggest the trainers of NLP not to take it without understanding it properly. NLP is basically taught with examples (since our brain is accustomed to it) that results in experiential training. Finally, one of the best way, one can imagine, to learn NLP is to get direct experience by working with an accredited NLP Practitioner or by learning it online through e-courses.
