The document provides an overview of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) including its connections to neurology, linguistics, and programming. NLP relates to how people think, process information through their senses, use language, and achieve goals. It involves principles like rapport, flexibility, and outcome-focused thinking. NLP can be used for self-development and overcoming challenges by changing behaviors and habits.

2. What is NLP? Neuro:
Nervous system through which
experience is received and processed
through the five senses.
The study of the mind –
in particular how we think
about things & how we
process information
how we experience and
represent the world through
our five senses and our
neurological processes.

3. What is NLP? Linguistic:
Language and nonverbal
communication systems through
which neural representations are
coded, ordered, and given meaning.
language skills – how we
use language to
communicate & how other
people’s use of language
affects us
the way the language we
use shapes and reflects
our experience of the
world

4. What is NLP? Programming
The ability to organize our
communication and
neurological systems to
achieve specific desired goals
and results.
“how we plan to react
and how we organise
and store our ideas and
actions .”
training ourselves to think,
speak and act in new and
positive ways, in order to reach
our maximum potential

5. 1
• Know what outcome you want to achieve
2
• Have sufficient sensory
acuity(sharpness) to know if you are
moving towards or away from your
outcome
3
• Have sufficient flexibility of behaviour
so that you can vary your behaviour until
you get your outcome
4 • Take action now
NLP Four Operational Principles

6. NLP Communication Model
“This model is a way of explaining how we take information
from the outside world into our neurology and how that in
turn affects our behaviours”.

7. SELF-DEVELOPMENT

8. LIFE-CHANGING

9. PRESUPPOSITIONS OF NLP
The meaning of a communication
is the response you get.

10. PRESUPPOSITIONS OF NLP
Language is representation of
experience.
Beware of the choice of words

11. PRESUPPOSITIONS OF NLP
Mind and body are parts of the same
cybernetic (governing/controlling)
system and affect each other.
Resistance in a client is a Sign of a la
ck of
rapport(relationship of trust).

12. PRESUPPOSITIONS OF NLP
People have all the resources they
need to make the changes they
want.

13. PRESUPPOSITIONS OF NLP
People are not their behaviours. (Accept the person; change
the behaviour.)
Everyone is doing the best they can with the resources they
have available. (Behaviour is adaptable, and the current
behaviour is the best choice available.)
The most important
information about a person is that person’s behaviour.

14. PRESUPPOSITIONS OF NLP
You are in charge of your mind, and therefore your
results (and I am also in charge of my mind and ther
efore my results).
'Possible in the world' or 'possible for me' is only a
matter of how.
There is Only feedback! (There is no failure,
only feedback.)

15. What can NLP be used for???
 To help you achieve success more easily.
 To “re-program” bad habits..
 To help you overcome phobias.
 To live a more fulfilled life.

16. Creating Achievable Outcomes
A goal is, “an aim or an end in mind.” We use SMART
goals to get what we want.
 S- Simple, Specific
 M- Measurable, Meaningful to You
 A - As If Now, Achievable
 R - Realistic/ Responsible
 T - Timed

17. Four Pillars of NLP
 Rapport
 Self Awareness
 Outcome Thinking
 Behavioural Flexibility

18. FOUR PILLARS OF NLP
1. Rapport
When people are like each other, they tend to
like each other. Rapport is a process of
responsiveness, and not necessarily
“liking.”
2. Self Awareness
How the world is different when you use all
your senses.

19. FOUR PILLARS OF NLP
3. Outcome Thinking
How to think about what you want.
4. Behavioural Flexibility
How to do something different when
what you’re currently doing isn’t
working.

20. Sensory Input Channel
The communication process begins with an
external event which enters our brain through
the five senses that make up our sensory input
channels:-
 Visual - What we see
 Auditory - Sound, the words we hear and how
those words are said to us etc.

21. Sensory Input Channel
 Kinaesthetic – Sensation of motion
 Olfactory - The sense of smell
 Gustatory - The sense of taste

23. CAUSE AND EFFECT
 Which side of the Cause and Effect formula are you on?
C > E
 Are you the cause in your life, or are you at the effect side
of things in your life?

24. Prime Directive of the Unconscious Mind
1. Stores memories
2. It stores all the emotions
3. Organizes all your memories

25. Prime Directive of the Unconscious Mind
4. Stores, distributes and transmits “energy”
5. Needs repetition until a habit is installed
6. Functions best as a whole integrated unit
