NeuroLinguistic Programming
Neuro-linguistic Programming was created by John Grinder and Richard Bandler who met each other in 1970 at the University of California, Santa Cruz. It was there that they joined forces by combining Grinder's linguistic skills and Bandler's creative genius.
Bandler and Grinder were interested in studying the thinking and skills used by highly effective and successful behavioral therapists.
In particular, they studied the methodology and results of Virginia Satir, a famed family therapist, Fritz Perls, the founder of Gestalt Therapy and Milton Erickson, a psychiatrist who produced astonishing results using hypnosis.
Bandler and Grinder analyzed the written and recorded work of these famous therapists to discover what accounted for their consistently positive results.
I like to think of NLP in this way: NLP is the study of excellence, anybody that is good at anything has a specific strategy, or "recipe" for how they organize their mental, physical, and verbal resources. Once we learn a persons "recipe" for how they create a result, we can then model how they do what they do. And on the flip side of that, if someone is producing a result that isn't desired, we can help them to discover how they are creating that undesirable result, thought, or behavior, and begin to change the recipe so that they get better results.
Think about your "default" emotional state, the one you're in most of your waking hours. If it isn't one that you chose, or one that you enjoy, a skilled NLP practitioner can show you precisely how you are using your inner resources so that you can create better thoughts, feelings, and results.
What distinguishes NLP from other fields of behavioral change is that it is concerned only with how people do things, not why they do them.
One example is in the field of education. If someone is having difficulty learning a new skill, the NLP approach is to be curious about what they are doing, specifically, to make it difficult to learn rather than wondering why they are having trouble.
Let's say a child has a spelling difficulty and the parents have tried everything but nothing has worked. So, they figure there must some sort of "why" it's not working. The answer is not "why" but "how". How is the child trying to learn?
Now, since NLP is essentially the utilization of persuasive communications within oneself and with others, it was only natural that NLP could be applied to areas other than behavioral therapy.
NLP has been successfully applied in the following areas:
Business
Public Speaking Success
Communication Skills
Sales
Sports Performance
Corporate Transformation
Accelerated Learning
Memory Improvement
Personal Development
Teaching & Education
Relationships
Directing and Controlling Your Thoughts & Emotions
Courtroom Effectiveness
Emergency Rooms
Hospitals
