NLP stands for neuro-linguistic programming. It was founded by Richard Bandler and John Grinder and is used to improve interpersonal relationships and management skills. NLP enhances our ability to manage thinking, conflicts, and experiences. The method of change in NLP involves three stages: modeling successful people, changing one's state of mind, and anchoring positive memories to draw from. Modeling means emulating the actions of successful people. Changing states means shifting from disempowering to empowering mindsets. Anchoring links positive memories to draw strength from in difficult situations.
