What is NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) ?
NLP is a way of being in the world. It is not simply a set of techniques to influence behaviour and ways of thinking. This is a skill set using language and thinking patterns to enhance communication skills.
All people use patterns of speech and movement and we use our senses. NLP is a way of thinking and linking up the language to the patterns of behaviour that run a person.
 
NEURO LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING
NLP does not have a very ancient history. Its origins are generally accepted
as being in the 1970's when John Grinder got together with Richard Bandler.
John Grinder was very interested in Linguistics and Richard Bandler was
interested in psychotherapy
They decided to observe three great therapists and began to understand how
they became successful and to model what worked on these three practitioners.
They wanted to utilise the patterns that worked for them and use it in relation to their clients. It seemed that NLP began to develop in two distinct ways:
Helping people to achieve excellence in their particular field.
Helping people to think in effective useful and creative ways
