Neuro-Linguistic Programming or NLP for short is a powerful body of information exploring how the human mind works.

This body of knowledge has been built up since the mid-1970`s and continuing to evolve through new research.

There are over 500 books on the subject and you are likely to find many different descriptions of NLP in these books. In fact, many courses in Leadership, Sales, Communication, Coaching, Sports Coaching, Therapy utilize the methodologies of NLP but don’t mention the Neuro Lingusitic Programming due to misunderstanding and or confusion as to what NLP is and is not.

One recent book “Change your business with NLP” featured a case study of a recent Auspicium client. They were selected because they were proof of what can be achieved. They have enjoyed significant growth in business revenues as a direct result of NLP Coaching and training.

At the heart of NLP are a wide range of methodologies and models offering understanding how people think, behave and change.

NLP offers a flexible approach to dealing with change which ultimately brings about positive, fast change, in individuals and organisations and empowers them to adapt to an ever-shifting world.

NLP training provides the skills and capabilities, beliefs and purpose to define and achieve your outcomes or goals more easily.

“NLP is an attitude which is an insatiable curiosity about human beings with a methodology that leaves behind it a trail of techniques.”

Dr Richard Bandler (co-creator of NLP)

“The strategies, tools and techniques of NLP represent an opportunity unlike any other for the exploration of human functioning, or more precisely, that rare and valuable subset of human functioning known as genius.”

Dr John Grinder (co-creator of NLP)

” When you model successful strategies (strategies and behaviours that get the desired results) with the methodologies found in the meta-discipline of Neuro Linguistic Programming, you are making learning through “the school of hard knocks” redundant.

NLP is about communicating effectively

One of the principles of NLP is that we are always communicating and a very large proportion of our communication is non-verbal.

So what are we communicating?

Is what we intend to convey the same as what the listener understands?

If not, how do we recognise the cues and adjust?

Research, sponsored by BT (British Telecom), tells us that 6 out of 10 people in the UK want to be better at communicating. NLP provides practical tools for achieving highly skilled communication.

By attending one of Auspiciums NLP courses, you will be able to take your own communicating skills to levels that can make a difference to your own relationships quickly and effectively. Most conflict, mis-communication, disagreements, lost business is as a result of a misunderstanding of what is being communicated. If I said to you “She hit me!” you would know what I meant right?

I doubt it!

You see the other day when I was at a casino in London, I was playing a friendly game of Blackjack when I was dealt two cards totalling 13…I asked the dealer to “Hit Me” and she did…boy was I glad. She dealt me an 8 hearts, straight off the top of her deck. I had 21 and cleaned up…

no I didn’t clean the casino with my mop but I took them to the cleaners…you get my drift right? do you really…

Language affects how we think and respond. The very process of converting experience into language requires that we condense, distort, and summarise how we perceive the world.

NLP provides questions and patterns to make our communication more clearly understood. NLP teaches us to understand how language affects us through implicit and embedded assumptions.

The English language is full of traps and pitfalls for the unwary communicator… for example, if you are told DO NOT to think of a Flying Pink Elephant, you will immediately think of a the thing I asked you to NOT think of, which is the opposite result from that intended!

Listen for the use of implied assumptions when you use the word “but”. For example, “I like the way that you did that piece of work, but… .” The listener tends to forget everything that went before the “but”, waiting for problems to emerge.

Since advertisers, the media and politicians use language to convey their messages, learning about language through NLP can increase awareness and “consumer protection” for your mind.

By signing up to an Auspicium NLP course, you’ll discover the power of linguistics and start to learn how use language effectively.

From story telling to hypnotic language patterns used by politicians, great communicators great orators and many other I’d like you to STOP NOW and start imaging how your influencing skills in a few months time will get you that job, deal or relationship you need in order to be more successful.
