| Frequently Asked Questions about NLPDefine NLP succinctly!This is a common request and not an easy one to fulfil because NLP covers such a wide field and has so many diverse applications. The following are just a few ways of defining it
In a nutshell......NLP is a simple yet powerful approach to personal and professional development. It is based on the study of successful human performance in which the methods of very effective people are studied. The results are then distilled into easily learned ‘techniques’ and presented in workshops - making each workshop a valuable short-cut to more successful living. In a few hours you can learn what may have taken others years to discover in a trial and error manner. I have made further attempts at explaining what it is here. Can you explain the name 'Neuro-Linguistic Programming'It is explained here. Why might it interest me?NLP provides you with a means to make changes in your own life and to assist others in doing the same. It provides you with
There's more information here, too. Give a few examples of how I could benefit from learning NLP?You'll find more information about its applications here. Does learning NLP involve lots of study?NLP is not an intellectual process. On the contrary NLP is very behavioural. It is about what you do with what you know rather then with what you know. For example, you can do the entire 20 day NLP Practitioner Certification Training without reading any books on the subject other than the training manual. Becoming good with NLP does require lots of practise. And you can do this in your everyday activities and interactions with friends and colleagues. Is it necessary to attend a Practitioner Training?No. You can obtain lots of benefit from attending a shorter training such as our NLP Core Skills as long as you recognise that merely attending is not enough - you also have to practise what you learn. At an introductory workshop you learn techniques and you practise them. This is useful and interesting but if you want to gain maximum value from attending determine that you will devote a few minutes daily to applying what you have learned. Has it been scientifically validated?No, nor does NLP make any claims to be scientific or to be based on studies that compare the average behaviour of one group with the average behaviour of another. NLP is a model of what works in individual performance. It is based on the principle that if one person can do something then, given similar physical characteristics, anyone else can learn to do the same by modelling and integrating into their own repertoire the skills and attitude of the successful person. While this principle may or may not be literally true it leads to some quite remarkable improvements in personal performance.
