NLP

NLP began (in the 1970s) when John Grinder, a Professor at UC Santa Cruz, and Richard Bandler, a graduate student, studied some of the world's most effective communicators. They believed (and still do) that all behaviour has a structure, and that you canmodel the way one person does things 'instinctively' and teach other people to do it the same way. They modelled people like Virginia Satir, Milton Erickson, Fritz Pearl and Gregory Bateson, and they noticed that all these people went through (mostly unconscious) patterns when communicating - both internally (thinking) and externally. Grinder and Bandler taught the patterns to other people and found these new people became effective communicators too. The patterns evolved intoNLP - and, as such, the field has often been described as "the study of human excellence".

NLP, or Neuro-Linguistic Programming, is the science of how the brain codes learning and experience. This coding affects all communication and behavior. It affects how you learn and how you experience the world around you. It is a key to reaching goals and achieving excellence.
