NeuroLinguistic Programming
The terminology can obscure the power of the technology. To simplify it:
Neuro - the five senses we bring to our working lives and relationships: Seeing, Feeling or hearing (plus taste and smell); we process information primarily in one of three ways which gives us our individual perceptions:
- Visual - Seeing; if I am a visual processor it is more effective to 'paint a picture' to enable me to 'see what you mean';
- Kinaesthetic - Feeling; if you are kinaesthetic I will help you understand more easily if I help you 'get the feel of this concept' or let you 'get your hands on it' or 'consider the impact of it';
- Auditory - Hearing; these folk need to 'hear what you say' or might say 'I like the sound of that'; they will remember what you said for a long time!;
Linguistic - language (we describe what we experience in language however, language also creates and shapes our experience; e.g. compare:
- the likely outcome of a student saying " I doubt I will pass that exam" v."I am determined to succeed at...";
- the attitude of an employer or manager who says "People are lazy" v. "People genuinely want to make a difference";
Programming - the way we create our view of the world and people; e.g. the classic Optimist v. Pessimist programming 'the glass is half full' or '...half empty' is only one example of the many filters with which create our version of 'reality'. Entrepreneurs have very different programming around change and failure from most other people. Core beliefs, such as "Keep trying till you succeed", "That did not work, so let's try this next...." can make the key difference in a new endeavour.
NLP does make the difference by developing people - their perceptions, abilities, interactions, focus etc
