Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a method used in business to improve performance. It contains techniques that help to change your patterns of thoughts, emotions and behaviour in positive ways. You can use these techniques for yourself, or as a manager with your team.
I first learnt these techniques 15 years ago while I was working in international sales. Immediately I realized how dramatically my performance would improve by applying them in my business work and other parts of my life. I trained first as a practitioner and then as a teacher of NLP. I have since coached and trained hundreds of business people in NLP methods and ways of thinking.
NLP began life in the 1970s as the result of studies at the University of California. Richard Bandler and John Grinder came up with a model of human excellence based on their research into language and behaviour, and the link between mind and body.
NLP has become a powerful tool for improving performance. Some of the benefits I have observed in myself and others are better communication and team skills, overcoming blocks to performance, improved sales, management and leadership skills, greater self-confidence, improved presentation and influencing skills, and the ability to generate clearer goals and achieve them.

âI canât help being late. All my family are like that.â âI canât do anything about getting on with my boss. Itâs him who always causes the problems.â âI canât make this business successful, the economy is too bad.â âI canât stop smoking, Iâm addicted to smoking.â âItâs not my fault!â
Everything that happens in life has a cause. Ben eats a big meal. What happens? He puts on weight. Krizia doesnât eat for two days, and loses weight? Itâs simple: the effect of eating too much or too little has been caused by the action of eating too much or too little.
