  • Practice Building: The Top Six Mistakes And How To Avoid Them.

    We're lucky enough to have a website that was one of the very first in NLP.   The upside of one of the world's original NLP sites is recognition and credibility.   The downside was embedded obsolescence.  After months of work we have it cleaned up, and a new design and navigation.  (Maybe now the search engines will see the whole site, and not just part of it.)
    More important to you we've changed the look and feel and hopefully made it easier to find all the resources you want on www.nlpco.com.  So check it out and let me know how you like it! (…)
