The best way to ‘learn’ NLP…

You learn NLP in a quite different from most other subjects. It is best learned by doing rather than reading, studying or intellectualising. This is because it is a behavioural rather than an intellectual process.

Since it is so different from how we learned at school or college the following pointers may be useful:

NLP is a behavioural

The emphasis is on what you do with what you know rather than what you know. You learn behaviourally through applying and practising the methods. Through practise rather than through remembering. By taking a small piece of behaviour to ‘play with’ each day.

Books have their part, too, though

While you will not learn to ‘do’ NLP by reading books or manuals they do have their role - as a back-up to trainings and workshops and to fine tune your skill in the methods after you have used them. Or as a way of evaluating whether NLP is for you, at all.

Again, take the books in small doses. Read them through rapidly to get an overview – and then go back and work through the parts you like by practising small pieces on a daily basis.

Forget about trying

Forget about trying to ‘get it right’! In NLP we are not concerned with right answers but with

  • trying things out
  • exploring
  • experimenting
  • playing
  • discovering
  • questioning
  • arguing
  • having fun!

It is the best way to learn. After all, that’s how you learned to speak your native language so effortlessly!
