Beginning in the 70's Steve and Connirae Andreas started modeling and codifying
NLP patterns. As common as it is today, in the 80's they were the first to create
video recordings as teaching tools for NLP.
Another great guest post from one of our founders, Steve Andreas. Steve and Connirae
have developed numerous classic patterns in NLP. Their processes are uniquely like this one: simple and simply powerful.
