What Is Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)?

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is how to use the language of the mind to consistently achieve our specific and desired outcomes. Specifically, NLP is:

Neuro

• Visual
• Auditory
• Kinesthetic
• Olfactory
• Gustatory 

Linguistic

Language and other non-verbal communication systems through which our neural representations are coded, ordered and given meaning. Includes:

• Pictures
• Sounds
• Feelings
• Tastes
• Smells
• Words (Self Talk)

Programming

The ability to discover and utilize the programs that we run (our communication to ourselves and others) in our neurological systems to achieve our specific and desired outcomes.

• The Techniques That Are Taught as NLP

NLP originated in the 1970s when John Grinder and Richard Bandler studied people who excelled in their field, with the aim of modelling their work to learn how they worked and with the aim of passing the knowledge on to others. For this reason NLP has sometimes been called the 'study of excellence'.

Since then NLP has spread into a wide range of uses and has applications in sales, therapy, education, coaching, building rapport, hypnotherapy and more.
