Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
NLP was originally established in 1975 by Richard Bandler and John Grinder. Their initial intention was to discover why certain individuals were excellent communicators, and what behaviours these individuals displayed. They then created models of this behaviour, which then enabled them to teach others to be as equally as effective. They also studied Milton Erikson, Fritz Perls and Virginia Satir, although many others have contributed to its growth over the years.
This field continually evolves, finding new and extraordinary possibilities. From the models in NLP a whole host of techniques have been created, to enable you to change your thought processes, behaviours and beliefs, and to remove any limitations about yourself which you have created during your life’s journey, allowing you to be the person you really want to be in life. It’s also about choice, you can learn to control how you behave, be aware of your emotional and physical states, and have the power to determine how you and others communicate and interact by using verbal and non-verbal language.
The approach of NLP along side coaching is so real that you will really see, hear and feel the results.
Business environments are highly competitive and constantly changing, a trend which is only set to continue. Along side of this the turbulent economic environment continues to stretch both individuals and businesses to their limits and beyond. The NLP techniques will give you a number of coping strategies at your finger tips.
The following components are essential for a successful business and therefore the people who lead that business
- Clear strategy
- Properly aligned values
- Sound financial information
- Effective people (skills)
- Good communication
Coaching and NLP will give you a competitive edge enabling you to adapt easily to differing working environments. Your ability to motivate yourself and others will deepen, along with your ability to understand how to best work with differing styles and personality types.
