NLP - Neuro-Linguistic Programming is the practical science of detecting, evolving and using the conscious and unconscious thinking and behavioral patterns that we are constantly experiencing.
Thus NLP is the cutting-edge communications field that enhances professional development and personal performance. NLP is about how people learn, communicate, change, and evolve themselves. It was originally developed by studying patterns of communicating and thinking used by highly successful people.
NLP provides specific "how to" skills to create change in one's self and assist others in becoming more resourcefull and effective. NLP is a set of processes that can greatly improve your communication skills in any situation. NLP is truly empowering and helps you do whatever you do better!

What set of principles is NLP based upon?
The NLP Presuppositions:
- Communication is redundant.
You are always communicating in all five major representational systems.
- The meaning of your communication is the response that you get.
Communication is not about what you intend, or about saying the right words; it's about creating an experience in, and getting a response from, the listener. The "bottom line" is the response you elicit.
- The map is not the territory.
People respond to their map of reality, not to reality itself. NLP is the science of changing these maps (not reality).
- You create your own reality.
You experience your personal reality, not the "truth."
- Requisite variety.
The element in a system with the most flexibility will be the controlling element.
- People work perfectly.
No one is wrong or broken; it's simply a matter of finding out how they function now, so that you can effectively change that to something more useful or desirable. People don't need to be "fixed."
- People always make the best choice available to them at the time
(but often there are lots of other better ones).
- Every behavior is useful in some context.
- Choice is better than no choice.
- Just about anyone can learn to do anything.
If one person can do something, it is possible to model it and teach it to anyone else.
- People already have all the resources they need.
What they need is access to these resources at appropriate times and places.
- There is no such thing as failure, only feedback.
- Chunking.
Anything can be accomplished (by anyone) if you break the task down into small enough chunks.
- Behind every behavior is a positive intention. While a behavior may be harmful or seem "bad," there is always a positive intention behind the behavior.
- Symptoms—pains, anxiety, depression, tumors, colds, etc. etc.
—are communications about needed action
.
- We are all responsible for creating our own experience.
Even when challenging events that we cannot control happen, we are responsible for our responses to these events. Typically, however, we have much more control than we think we have. Another way of stating this presupposition is that we consistently create our own environment through our beliefs, filters, capabilities and behaviors.
- (From Huna) Energy flows where attention goes.
- It is useful to sort the person's behavior from his or her "self."
