Neuro Linguistic Programming
Neuro = refers to the brain neural pathways, set in patterns
Linguistic = attention to unconscious choice of language and how we use it
Programming = thinking and behavioural patterns/programmes which people use in their everyday lives
This is a practical and pragmatic model of human behaviour and communication developed by Richard Bandler and others.
Key components :
Rapport and communication using your mind, emotions and your body
Gathering information, insights, attitudes, skills and mental techniques
Strategies to enable dynamic change and interventions to improve how we think, behave and feel and to assist others to do the same so that we run our lives more successfully.
What we perceive and therefore how we communicate, is filtered through our sensory systems. This is usually unconscious, but can be made conscious through training. There are 3 main systems; visual, auditory and kinaesthetic.
It is based on the principle that if one person has learned to do something, then by studying his/her technique ( given the same physical attributes) and creating a model, another can integrate into their own repertoire, the skills and attitudes of the successful person.
