Why NLP?
Because it works.
It works to make your life easier and more satisfying.
Using NLP works to:
1) Give you more control of your life (and more personal freedom)
2) Give you more choices
3) Give you greater influence and satisfaction
4) Give you clearer communication.
You're a lot more likely to get what you want when you can ask for it in clear and compelling ways.
Using NLP simply reduces a lot of the needless friction in life. It gives you more control of your life, and more freedom, because it gives you more choices and clearer communication.
Life will always have rude people, stoplights, and conflicts. You can't eliminate them any more than you can control the weather. What you can do is learn more effective responses. Learning NLP gives you more and better ways to more easily deal with these obstacles.
You'll have an easier time of managing your life, the people and things you have to do. You'll find easier, more effective ways to resolve conflict, both with others and within yourself. You'll find how you can consistently motivate yourself, and other people, to have the goals you want.
You'll learn how to create self-confidence that is lasting because it's reality based, based on you, your unique talents and abilities. All this can be yours, and more.
NLP provides a strong set of tools and skills to help you naturally and gracefully make lasting changes in specific ways:
- Find and remove hidden or unconscious "road blocks" to your personal and professional goals.
- Make changes in your habits a "piece of cake" instead of a struggle.
- Easily notice, understand, and respond to what motivates other people.
- Create a "magnetic" field in which people are drawn to you and your ideas.
- Speed up and improve the quality of your decision-making.
- Become irresistibly persuasive – you'll notice this especially with people who have been difficult in the past.
- Clearly identify what you really want, versus what you say you want, or what someone else taught you to want.
- Coach and support yourself and others to do all of this in their lives.
You may have desires, dreams, and goals you have put aside or struggled with for years. You may have found yourself doing things the same way and expecting a different result, even while laughing about the insanity of it!
But action feels better than inaction, and you didn't have better choices. You may not have been aware of how automated your choices really were.
There were a couple of people in the seventies similarly stuck. In fact, they were somewhat notoriously bad at simple things like rapport with other folks. So they set out to find and study people who were excellent at making such changes for the better. From this came NLP, or Neuro-Linguistic Programming, the science of modeling excellence and change in human behavior.
While academia has largely ignored it, business and government, being more practical, tested it. Based on results, NLP has grown to become a staple in the core curriculum at businesses including IBM, HP, US government agencies like the FBI and the BATF, and a few of the more adventurous universities around the world.
What NLP will do for you is take you out of the loop of "What I have always known and done is no longer getting me what I want."
How Is NLP Different?
Ask yourself two questions:
1) Can you explain WHAT stops you from having what you want, and what you think will fix it?
2) Can you do exactly what needs to be done to overcome those limits, forever?
This is "WHAT" versus "HOW." This is the difference between traditional self-help and NLP.
You probably know "what" is wrong and "what" will fix it. But you don't know "how" to make it happen.
It's like a computer that has a program that isn't working right. It's not the computer's fault. It works the way it was programmed. You can use a spreadsheet to write a document, but it's pretty awkward.
If there are conflicts in the code, the "behavior" will repeat itself reliably, even when the "behaviors" aren't getting the desired result. A person who knows how to find the source of the conflict can instantly help the computer change its "behavior". Which may be enough to solve its problem forever … or at least until the next conflict arises.
Human beings are obviously more complex than a computer. But what about those behaviors you haven't been able to change, in yourself and others? Even when you can see that they're not working? Have you found the pathway to the "coding" where they originated?
This is the fundamental approach of NLP. It differs from the fields of psychology, behaviorism, or motivation. Those traditional approaches to human change are equivalent to convincing the "computer" to change by talking about the code or developing workarounds. These methods may work, but they can take a long time and may not produce a lasting result.
