NLP involves modeling behaviors and thought patterns to improve communication and collaboration. It examines how neurological processes, language, and experiences shape behavior. Key concepts in NLP include metaprograms, which influence how people think and act, and logical levels, which help understand issues at the right complexity level. NLP tools like metaprograms and logical levels can provide insight into recruiting, coaching, and personal development.

4. A series of models, tools and
techniques to improve oneself,
communication and collaboration,
created by modeling habits of
"exceptional people"

5. - How our brains work, how we express things and how those a

our behaviors
- Modeling behavioral patterns and extracting reusable patterns & techniques
- Subjectivity, consciousness and learning
- Not scienti

c but never pretended to be
- A living toolbox where some techniques get dropped and others are formulated
INOTHERWORDS…

6. There would be a connection between
neurological processes (neuro), the language
we use (linguistic) and our behavior learned
through experience (programming), and if we
are aware of them and this connection, we can
more easily change them.

10. - Mental processes that help us organize and structure information. They in
fl
uence our
behaviors, our thinking and our actions.
- Each metaprogram is de
fi
ned by a pair of opposing tendencies that represent extremes
of a spectrum everyone can be positioned on
- Very useful for recruitment:
- You list the metaprograms you are interested in
- For each metaprogram, you determine what you want in an ideal candidate
- During interviews, you position candidates based on past experiences
- Keep in mind that context and stress matter (tailor your questions to your context)
METAPROGRAMS

11. - Toward / Away from
"Why did you apply to this job?"
- Internal / External frame of reference
"How did you know you did a good job when…?"
- Best case / Worst case scenario thinking
"What was your reaction the last time you received negative feedback?"
- Micro / Macro
"Last time you were trusted with a big project, how did you approach it?"
- Match / Mismatch (aka agreement/disagreement)
"How would you compare those two past experiences?"
- Associative / Dissociative
"How did you proceed the last time you had to teach a new skill to somebody?"
- Possibility / Necessity
"How did you decide when to stop the last time to did complex task A?"
