Frequently Asked Questions about NLP™ 
 
Q: What is NLP™? 
A: At root NLP is a way of being in control of your brain rather than your brian being in control of you. Some describe NLP as a users' manual for your brain. Or we could put it another way: NLP™ (neuro-linguistic programming) is a constantly evolving set of models, presuppositions, patterns, techniques and observation-based theories resulting from the study of subjective experience, behaviour and communication. Take your pick!
Q: Does NLP™ really work? Has it been scientifically validated?
A: A few studies have been done on particular aspects of NLP™ with mixed results. However, there is massive anocdotal evidence of the effectiveness of NLP™ in generating change. Recent scientific discoveries do seem to validate aspects of NLP™ implicitly. There are current research projects at universities in the UK and the USA - for a UK example, see http://www.nlpresearch.org
Q: What are the foundations of NLP™?
A: Here are 5 key presuppositions. These and others are covered in our trainings, in books about NLP™, or can be found on the internet.
- People already have all the resources they need.
- Behind every behaviour is a positive intention.
- The meaning of the communication is the response you get.
- There is no such thing as failure - only feedback.
- If someone can do something, anyone can learn it.
- okay, one more - the map is not the territory.
Q: What can I do with NLP™?
A: "There are many areas in which NLP™ has been utilised. Whatever your profession is, you can use NLP™ to build on whatever it is you are already doing."(Dr. Richard Bandler)
