More and more people are opting to become an NLP practitioner and linking this with their work. There are many reasons why people are opting to do this, mainly because they see NLP as offering significant benefits.

But why? And what is NLP?
Neuro-Linguistic Programming commonly known as NLP has been around for some time now. It is a set of rules and techniques that people believe modify their behaviour so that they can self-improve, self-manage better and also increase their effective interpersonal and communication skills.

The basic underlying principle to NLP is this – to achieve any kind of success, you need to create not only a goal to aim for but also envisage this goal and what it means to you. You need to understand how to modify your behaviour so that you can reach these goals.

In order for this new behaviour and modelling to become ingrained, you need to programme the part of your brain – hence the term neuro – so that you respond in this ‘new’ way. Many people do this by assigning a behaviour pattern a symbol. When you need to, you envision this symbol so that you can follow a different behaviour pattern, thus getting the results you want and need.

As an NLP practitioner, you will become accustomed to using this process to change and determine your own behaviour patterns in a certain situation but there is no limit as to where and when you can use NLP – and your work setting is the perfect place to use this process to change the way you think, act and communicate in order that you get different and better results.
