NLP is a method that models excellence in order to produce strategies that can be taught to others. The session introduces NLP and its history, defines modelling, and demonstrates a basic modelling tool called the Mercedes Model. NLP establishes that ingrained behavior patterns can be changed through language by modelling surface and deep structures of the mind. Modelling excellence then creates applications like spelling strategies or cures for phobias.
