So what is NLP?

NLP was founded in the 70's by Professor Jhon Grinder and Dr.Richard Bendler. NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming.
Since then until now NLP evolved to be a tool to transform and gain success in different domains. Business, heal and communication, NLP can help you with all those things!
In the 90's NLP techniques evolved to their third generation with many breakthroughs that brought faster and more accurate results.

NLP is the methodology that based on the assumption that every behavior has a certain structure. This structure is different from person to person and can be observed and learn in order to bring change. This technology is teaching us how to access our subconscious (or unconscious) and bring change on a deeper level.

This tool integrates three scientific domains: Neurology, Linguistics, and Behavioural sciences.

N - Neuro

The understanding of the neurological processes in our brain that responsible for perceiving information from our five senses(visual auditory kinesthetic gustatory and olfactory) to process and translate them to experiences.

L - Linguistic

Identification of the brain activity through analysis of linguistic patterns that expressed through verbal communication (the way we speak) and also our internal thinking patterns that expressed through internal dialog (The movies that in our head is how I like to put it).

P - Programming

Organizing the results of the Neurological and Linguistic patterns in our brain and include the defining of goals and the ways to get them.

Today there is more and more scientific research that shows us the brain is open for change. NLP is an approach with many techniques which help us understand and organize the way we think to get the results we want while using the capabilities inherent is us. The techniques are based on the research of excellence in successful people, therefore, is also called "The Excellence Method".

Those guys documented the excellence in their fields like:

Dr. Milton Erickson, famous American psychiatrist and psychologist specializing in medical hypnosis and family therapy which brought a huge change to our understanding of hypnosis and the way we think. Ericson is the founder of Ericksonian therapy (or Ericksonian Hypnosis).

Virginia Satir - Virginia Satir was an American author and social worker, known especially for her approach to family therapy and her work with family reconstruction.

Fritz Perls - Friedrich Salomon Perls, better known as Fritz Perls, was a noted German-born psychiatrist and psychotherapist.

Gregory Bateson -Gregory Bateson was an English anthropologist, social scientist, linguist, visual anthropologist, semiotician, and cyberneticist whose work intersected that of many other fields.

By watching these people work they modeled excellence and, which connect the language with the nervous system. They created a new approach, easy to learn with quick overwhelming results. Today people learn and use NLP around the world in different domains like Self-help, Business, and Sells, Therapy, Politics and much more.
