MC NLP Factsheet Fact Sheet (version 1.0) Neuro Linguistic Programming WHAT IS NLP? NLP is an interdisciplinary subject which embraces, among other things, brain/mind research (neuro), the study of language (linguistic), and psychotherapy (re-patterning, or [re-]programming). Richard Bandler, co-developer of NLP, in his book Using Your Brain - For A Change, says: "Neuro-Linguistic Programming is a name that I made up to avoid having to be specialized in one field or another." Therefore, NLP, by its very nature, is difficult to define succinctly. It is often described as the study of the structure of human behaviour and is an attitude of curiosity, experimentation and flexibility, leading to a methodology of modelling that leaves behind it a trail of techniques. BRIEF HISTORY NLP was initially created in 1975 by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, in Santa Cruz, California, when mathematician Richard Bandler and associate linguistics professor John Grinder discovered that you can study or "model" human behaviour, and then, using this model, duplicate the results in someone else. They began modelling and duplicating the "magical results" of a few top communicators and therapists and using what they learned to improve other peoples skills and abilities. Some of the first people to be studied included Hypnotherapist Milton Erickson, gestalt therapist Fritz Perls and family therapist Virginia Satir. Because these models are formal they also allow for prediction and calculation. Patterns that may not have been available in any of these people's work could be calculated from the formal representations they had created. New techniques and models were (and still are being) developed. Some of the early developers included Judith DeLozier, Robert Dilts, Steve Andreas and Leslie Cameron-Bandler. Most of these have continued to develop NLP in their own way to this day. Since its early days the field has grown and NLP has continued to develop and evolve, this is largely because trainees tend to quickly individualise and develop and enrich their learning and end up having their own 'type' of NLP, with many famous or infamous names being attached to it: Anthony Robbins, the American Lifestyle Guru; Paul McKenna, the TV hypnotist; and Derren Brown, the “psychological illusionist”, to name a few. MAJOR INFLUENCES Influences include: • The psychotherapeutic approaches of Fritz Perls, Virginia Satir and Milton Erickson • The brief therapy methods of Paul Watzlawick and others • Cybernetics (systems theory), including W Ross Ashby's Law of Requisite Variety • Gregory Bateson's cybernetic epistemology and, in particular, his learning levels work • Bertrand Russell and Alfred N Whitehead's Theory of Logical Types • Alfred Korzybski's General Semantics • Noam Chomsky's Transformational Grammar • The TOTE (Test Operate Test Exit) model developed by George Miller, E Galanter and Karl Pribram • George Miller's theory, "The Magic Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two". • The Discordian Movement • Robert Anton Wilson • Frank Farrelly’s Provocative Therapy methods • Maxwell Meltz Psycho-cybernetics PRESUPPOSITIONS NLP practitioners are guided by a set of assumptions or operating principles called presuppositions. You do not need to actually believe these statements, but you will probably find it helpful to act as though they are true. The presuppositions of NLP are: • The ability to change the process by which we experience reality is often more valuable than changing the content of our experience of reality. • The meaning of the communication is the response you get. • All distinctions human beings are able to make concerning our environment and our behavior can be usefully represented through the visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory, and gustatory senses. • The resources an individual needs in order to effect a change are already within them. • The map is not the territory. • The positive worth of the individual is held constant, while the value and appropriateness of internal and/or external behavior is questioned. • There is a positive intention motivating every behavior, and a context in which every behavior has value. • Feedback vs. Failure - All results and behaviors are achievements, whether they are desired outcomes for a given task/context, or not. © Copyright 2010 Matt Caulfield Training and Consultancy KEY CONCEPTS The FOUR CORNERSTONES of NLP are: 1) OUTCOME ORIENTATION: Results focus. WELL-FORMED OUTCOMES helps you define goals in such a way that the likelihood of their achievement is substantially improved. 2) SENSORY ACUITY: Tuning up your senses to gather as much available information about your environment as possible. 3) BEHAVIOURAL FLEXIBILITY: Creating choices about how to act and being able to move between those chosen behaviours as and when the environment dictate. 4) RAPPORT: Being on the same ‘wavelength’ as the person you are interacting with. MATCHING and PACING can be employed to create and maintain rapport. MODELLING: NLP was originally developed as a modeling tool, the first 2 models that were developed were: The META MODEL or language model enriches your understanding through the use of specific questions that clarify verbal DISTORTIONS, DELETIONS AND GENERALISATIONS. The MILTON MODEL: a model of hypnotic language as used by the famous hypnotist Milton Erickson. This was specific use of LANGUAGE and METAPHOR used to communicate with the unconscious mind. REPRESENTATION SYSTEMS and are labelled V A K 0 G: VISUAL (sight), AUDITORY (hearing), KINAESTHETIC (feelings/touch), OLFACTORY (smell), and GUSTATORY (taste). SUB-MODALITIES: These are fine distinctions of representational systems, for example, Visual sub-modalities include size, brightness, colour/black and white, spatial location, and DISSOCIATED/ASSOCIATED STATE (do you see yourself in the picture or not?). You can adjust your sub-modalities to eliminate unpleasant feelings and generate more effective behaviour. CALIBRATION helps you read another's state more accurately. Verbal clues called PREDICATES indicate whether that person is in visual, auditory or kinaesthetic mode. EYE ACCESSING CUES let you know whether images and sounds are being constructed or remembered, and if internal dialogue is occurring. ANCHORING are physiologic triggers to a mental or emotion response. Resourceful states can be evoked through stimulus-response. STRATEGIES: Patterns of thinking and behaviour can be elicited, recorded and modified to improve performance. REFRAMING: You can change the meaning of events by redefining them. Later developments in the field are: NEUROLOGICAL LEVELS: This model helps you make the most effective intervention by addressing, as appropriate, your client's environment (where? when? with whom?), behaviour (what?), capabilities (how?), values and beliefs (why?), identity (who?), or transpersonal awareness (who else?). PERCEPTUAL POSITIONS: You can adopt these to gain information, they are: first position (standing in your own shoes), second position (putting yourself in the other person's shoes) and third position (imagining you are a fly on the wall). TIME LINES are the way you spatially code time, working with time lines enables you to understand the way you process your past, present and future and allows you your think differently about your personal history and invent your ideal future. You can use FUTURE PACING to mentally rehearse the successful accomplishment of goals. META PROGRAMS are your internal filtering and external operating styles. CRITERIAL EQUIVALENCE is how you act out your values or CRITERIA (what's important to you). Moving from the specific to the general is called CHUNKING UP; moving in the opposite direction, or dividing something into smaller pieces, is CHUNKING DOWN. APPLICATIONS Because NLP is about studying and improving human behavior it is truly interdisciplinary and has applications in almost any field. It has been integrated and utilised very successfully in: • Therapy and Counselling • Personal Development: changing unwanted habits, developing new behaviours and skills. • Sales and negotiation • Organisational Management: Organisations embarking on small or large scale change programmes would do well to study NLP, as would those adopting Total Quality Management initiatives, business process re-engineering, or competence-based schemes such as National Vocational Qualifications and the Management Charter Initiative. • Sports Performance. • Teaching and training: Specific applications include training (process and content), dyslexia resolution, accelerated learning • It has also been used in acting, entertainment, magic, mediation, advocacy, martial arts, and medical diagnosis to name a few. © Copyright 2010 Matt Caulfield Training and Consultancy COMMON CRITICISMS • "NLP is manipulative." This is a shortcoming of certain practitioners, rather than a truth about the practice itself. As Richard Bandler has said “all behaviour is manipulative, at least with NLP you are AWARE of it!” • "NLP practitioners copy your postures and gestures, while noting every movement of your eyes." This is evidence of a very low level of skill. If you are aware of such behaviours then it is unlikely that the person concerned has studied with a recognised training organisation. • "NLP training is expensive." It is true that the total cost of a training programme can appear high, but when the cost per training day is calculated it is actually quite low, flexible payment terms can usually be arranged and the return on investment is generally substantial. • “Changes with NLP

  • The Truth About NLP Eye Patterns and Their Relationship with Academic Performance in Business and Management Studies (MBA)
    International Journal of Business and Management; Vol. 8, No. 23; 2013 ISSN 1833-3850 E-ISSN 1833-8119 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Lying Eyes: The Truth about NLP Eye Patterns and Their Relationship with Academic Performance in Business and Management Studies (MBA) Kamarul Zaman Ahmad1 1 College of Business Administration, Abu Dhabi University, United Arab Emirates Correspondence: Kamarul Zaman Ahmad, College of Business Administration, Abu Dhabi University, United Arab Emirates. E-mail: [email protected] Received: October 2, 2013 Accepted: October 30, 2013 Online Published: November 15, 2013 doi:10.5539/ijbm.v8n23p67 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ijbm.v8n23p67 Abstract This article looks at the relationship between eye patterns (i.e., how eyes move according to what the person is thinking or feeling) according to Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and students’ achievement in a course in an MBA program in Abu Dhabi University, United Arab Emirates. Participants for the study (N = 33) graduate students from the course. All participants were right-handed. Results show that, except for visual recall, less than half of the respondents exhibited the remaining eye patterns (i.e., visual construct, verbal recall, verbal construct, kinaesthetic and auditory digital), posited by the founders of NLP. Put in another way, respondents on average exhibited about two out of the six posited eye patterns. Correlations between eye patterns and exam results reveal that students who displayed eye patterns corresponding with verbal recall and kinaesthetic feelings, tend to do better in the exams. This paper discusses the possible benefit of training students to conform to verbal recall and kinaesthetic eye patterns, and teaching courses that emphasise on verbal recall and kinaesthetic feelings.

  • Ericksonian Hypnosis and the Enneagram About Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)
    The Changeworks Consulting, Training, Books and CDs Workshops with Thomas Condon PO Box 5909, Bend, OR 97708 001-541-382-1894 email: [email protected] http://www.thechangeworks.com Ericksonian Hypnosis and the Enneagram About Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) NLP is a set of distinctions and techniques for altering the structure of subjective experience. Created in the 1970’s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, NLP is based in linguistics, psychology and communication. Among other things it offers a model of good communication and good rapport. It has had extensive applications in the fields of business, education, training and health, as well as in therapeutic changework. NLP is based upon the premise that experience has structure, and that by altering the structure, you can alter the experience. NLP helps you analyze how you create your subjective experience through your senses. At any given moment, your internal experience has a visual part - what you see around you or in your mind’s eye; an auditory part - hearing the sounds in your environment or listening to internal voices; and a kinesthetic part - your emotions and body feelings. As you experience the world through your five senses, you interpret the information and then act on it. In broad strokes, NLP helps you recognize your primary sensory modality – whether you are generally visual or auditory or kinesthetic or favor a combination of those primary senses. Nobody is really purely auditory, visual or kinesthetic, but you might find that you have a favorite orientation. Once you’ve determined your existing sensory bias, NLP offers techniques to expand your experience of your other senses.

  • George Miller & Noam Chomsky's Contributions To
    From: L. Michael Hall 2016 “Neurons” Meta Reflections – #40 August 29, 2016 Reflections about NLP #6 GEORGE MILLER & NOAM CHOMSKY’S CONTRIBUTIONS TO NLP The people who obviously contributed to NLP and the development of the NLP Model were the three communication “magicians” (Perls, Satir, and Erickson) and the two “grandfathers” of NLP— Gregory Bateson who taught and mentored them all and Alfred Korzybski who invented the very idea of “neuro-linguistics” and “neuro-semantics.” Yet there were others. Other contributors that made NLP what NLP is today who may not be so obvious. Two of them were the founders of the Cognitive Psychology Movement: George Miller and Noam Chomsky. Both men created a distinction in 1956 that changed the face of Psychology which has led to dating The Cognitive Psychology Movement to 1956. Noam Chomsky and Transformational Grammar (TG) What Noam Chomsky did in 1956 was publish the Transformational Grammar (TG) model in his Aspects of the Theory of Syntax. In doing so landed a death-blow to Behaviorism. For half a century from John Watson’s original work in Behaviorism and B.J. Skinner’s work, in associative conditioning, Behaviorism or Learning Theory was the Psychology of Choice. It had proven useful and effective in many areas. What Chomsky demonstrated was that Behaviorism was inadequate in explaining language development. In fact, he showed that it did not work. He demonstrated that we have a “language acquisition device” within us by which we learn language. That’s why children learn as it were the rules of language and then invent sentences that they have never heard.

  • Neurolinguistic Programming
    Neurolinguistic Programming Author/s: Leonard C. Bruno Definition Neurolinguistic programming (NLP) is a technique that shows people how to change or "reprogram" their thoughts, feelings, and actions by simple mental exercises. Purpose In the areas of medicine and health care, NLP can help people discover the unconscious negative thought patterns they have about their illnesses and help them to change their mental and emotional responses so that they reinforce the positive, healing process. Precautions In case of a serious illness, NLP should not be used by itself or to the exclusion of traditional medical remedies. Description Neurolinguistic programming has been called software for the brain. If we take the computer as a model, our thoughts and beliefs are regarded as software programs that, if changed, can alter behavior. This concept was developed in the mid-1970s by Richard Bandler, an information scientist, and John Grinder, a linguistics professor. After observing several highly successful individuals in the fields of linguistics, psychology, anthropology, and communications, they were able to isolate the essential qualities common to each that were responsible for their excellence and success. The essence they distilled from their observation and study became their NLP model. They named it Neurolinguistic Programming because "neuro" refers to the brain, "linguistic" relates to verbal and nonverbal expressions, and "programming" suggests habitual thought patterns. NLP was devised first to make people aware of their unconscious limiting thought and behavior patterns, and, second, to show them how they can change these automatic patterns and create new ways of thinking and feeling. These new patterns open up new choices and new behaviors that help people achieve their goals.

Origins and concepts The Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) field was born in Santa Cruz, California in the early 1970s, with the support of two founders: John Grinder (a linguist) and Richard Bandler (a psychologist). These two, helped among others by Gregory Bateson, have tried to model theories of three famous psychologists of those times: Milton Erickson, Fritz Perls and Virginia Satir. As a result they wrote several books (for instance, “The structure of magic”, or “Patterns of the hypnotic techniques of Milton H. Erickson, M.D.”) consecrating this field once for all: “The concept for NLP was originated ten years ago by John Grinder and Richard Bandler.

  • A Brief History of NLP
    A Brief History of NLP Neuro Linguistic Programming was developed in the 1970s as a result of a research project on human communication conducted by John Grinder, a professor of Linguistics, and Richard Bandler, a postgraduate psychologist. Grinder and Bandler studied three outstanding therapists: - Fritz Perls (the originator of Gestalt Therapy), Virginia Satir (an eminent Family Therapist) and Milton Erickson (a world famous hypnotherapist) with the aim of identifying the patterns they used. Rather than concern themselves with developing new theories, they sought to reproduce specific, successful and repeatable patterns of behaviour that successful therapists used, and that worked in practice, in a way that could be taught to others. While the three therapists they modelled were very different personalities, the underlying patterns elicited proved to be surprisingly similar. From the initial work, Grinder and Bandler produced two language models, the Meta Model and the Milton Model, together with a range of 'change techniques'. They also formalised the techniques and approaches they had used to study or model the work of the therapists. From these initial models, NLP developed two complementary aspects:- Firstly as a process to discover patterns of excellence in any field , known as modelling, involving breaking down complex human performance into small enough chunks so that the critical components can be replicated and taught to others. Secondly NLP developed as a 'how to' technology - helping others to learn the underlying patterns of thinking and communicating used by outstanding people and develop skills that enhance the effectiveness of communication, facilitate personal change, accelerate learning, and enrich enjoyment of life.

    NLP Words and Phrases to Increase the Positive Intentions In Speaking and Writing THE HISTORY AND BACKGROUND OF NLP Wikipedia.org Definition: Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is an approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder inCalifornia, United States in the 1970s. Its creators claim a connection between the neurological processes ("neuro"), language ("linguistic") and behavioral patterns learned through experience ("programming") and that these can be changed to achieve specific goals in life.[1][2] Bandler and Grinder claim that the skills of exceptional people can be "modeled" using NLP methodology, then those skills can be acquired by anyone.[3][4][5][6][7] Bandler and Grinder also claim that NLP can treat problems such as phobias, depression, habit disorder, psychosomatic illnesses, myopia,[8]allergy, common cold,[9] and learning disorders, often in a single session.[10][11][12][13] NLP has been adopted by somehypnotherapists and in seminars marketed to business and government.[14][15] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-linguistic_programming ******* NLP University, one of the places I’ve learned a lot from! From their Home Page … All of the models and techniques of NLP are based on the combination of two principles: [1] The Map is Not the Territory, and [2] Life and ‘Mind’ are Systemic Processes. In the belief system of NLP it is not possible for human beings to know objective reality. Wisdom, ethics and ecology do not derive from having the one 'right' or 'correct' map of the world, because human beings would not be capable of making one.
