From "Soft Skills" to Essential Skills. What is NLP?

NLP, which stands for neurolinguistic programming, is the study of how we use the connection between our language and our brain's neurological patterns to eliminate and reprogram old unresourceful habits and ways of being in order to create excellence in our lives on a day to day basis. Set another way, neurolinguistic programming is Leveraging our language and the mind body connection to re map Thoughts, habits, and behaviors that no longer serve us and create new internal resources and behaviors that have us produce the best results in our lives. 

Now, that's a bunch of theory. Let's bring it on the court to real life. One of my clients came to me desiring to make a shift in her career to consulting in an area she was very passionate about. She is highly educated, has an esteemed position as a professor, and a PhD in organizational psychology. The problem though, is that she had some unresourceful thought habits... thoughts like "I'm not good enough", and "no one will listen to me". These thought patterns were getting in the way of her accepting opportunities that were already on the table for her. In working together, what I essentially did, was Guide her through a process called time line therapy® that shifted her internal dialogue and eliminated these negative thought habits. 

The result was that once these negative thought habits were cleared, she could see and confidently pursue the opportunities that were there for her. Within weeks she has secured her first high paying consulting contract. Another example. One of my former students is a physician weight loss coach. She helps people to re map old Thought patterns about one's ability to lose weight, change one's eating habits and lifestyle. One of the techniques that she learned in the training was how to eliminate
cravings for specific foods. This is something that she employs daily in her coaching practice and has reported works very well with her clients now.

The common theme in both examples above is that a person goes from a behavior or an attitude that is not serving them two thoughts and behaviors that help them to reach their goals easily and effortlessly. That's how NLP works. What goals what do you like to achieve that you have not yet been able to achieve because of
seemingly invisible influences? Maybe you are aware or something that you've always wanted to do, that you have not taking a chance on because of fear? Or maybe you've been telling yourself you're not ready yet, that you're not experienced enough, or not good enough. these limitations can be easily reprogrammed by discovering the root cause of that programming and  using the tools of neurolinguistic programming to re map your mind so that you can be free to fully live an achieve once and for all.

If you're wondering whether to take that next step, consider the benefits of NLP, how the conscious use of language and having an NLP mind could work for you.
Some ask, what's the next step. Well, that depends. If you are interested in learning the tools, you might choose to become NLP certified. That means you learn neuro linguistic programming to use with yourself and in all areas of your life. However, if you are more interested in working with specific problems in your life, NLP coaching may be the path for you.
