Neuro-Linguistic Accelerated Learning
• Everyone's BRAIN MODE power is unique Programming (NLP) • People are smarter and
• Modes are learning and thinking styles • Neuro – sensory inputs more capable than they
create thought think
• Mode preferences are diverse
patterns/experience • Limiting beliefs limit our
• Preferences can be measured reliably • Linguistic – language performance and quality
• No style combination is better than another imprints to provide of life
experience • Remove barriers to
• The power comes from leveraging strengths • Programming – steps to quicken and expand
• All modes can be strengthened create desired outcome learning

??? Activity
• How do you approach learning? • Pick a partner
– New project at work • Choose Person A and Person B
• Person A – explain to Person B how to get to
– Topic you are studying in school
your house from work
– New technology/equipment to use – 3 minutes
• Person B – explain to Person A how to get to the
