NLP explores how we look at the world and provides us with strategies we can use to unlock our potential to create the changes you want and need throughout life.

‘The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives. ‘William James’

NLP is a powerful and practical approach to personal change. Neuro refers to our nervous system, the mental pathways of our five senses by which we see, hear, feel and smell. Linguistic refers to our ability to use language and the way specific words and phrases mirror our mental worlds. Linguistic also refers to our ‘silent language’ of postures, gestures, and habits that reveal our thinking styles, beliefs and more. Programing, to borrow an analogy from computor science, relates to our thoughts, feelings and actions as being habitual programs that can be changed by upgrading our ‘mental software’.

Co-founders of NLP in the 1970’s, Richard Bandler and John Grinder combined their respective skills of computer science and linguistics along with their ability to copy nonverbal behaviour to develop a new ‘language of change’ and created frameworks for studying subjective experiences, the art of ‘Modelling Human Excellence’.
