What is NLP?

NLP was developed in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder.

NLP provides a set of powerful tools for personal change. It is widely used for personal change, personal and professional coaching, education, business, sports and many other areas.

NLP has been called "the study of subjective experience." NLP states that each individual has their own unique experience of the world, and their own unique strategies.

Most people cope well with the day to day experiences and challenges they face. Yet sometimes people may find themselves repeating negative behaviors or feel they limit themselves with certain beliefs and old habits. Perhaps they feel competent in certain areas of life but don’t know how to move from being "okay" at something to being an expert.

We take in all our experiences, both good and bad, through our senses and our brains make neurological patterns of these experiences. Most experiences stay in our unconscious minds until called upon and in that split second, that previously generated neurological pathway "clicks into place". Some of these patterns work well for us and others not so well.

NLP helps to identify those patterns of behavior and thoughts that limit us, and offers tools and techniques to "re-program" those patterns so that we can fulfill our true potential and live the happy and productive lives we each deserve.
