The Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) model teaches the skills required to achieve unparalleled success in most human interactions. NLP is essentially the study of the structure of “excellence” i.e. how people become successful at things. This success encompasses the setting and the achievement of goals.
NLP emerged in the early 1970’s as a powerful and effective tool with applications to counselling, education, sports and business communication. Drs Richard Bandler and John Grinder formulated the NLP model after many years of observing and listening to people who seemed to have a natural talent for effective communication. They concluded that these peoples’ strengths lay not in what they said (content) but how they said it (process). Layla Ibrahim studied with Terrence who were trained in NLP by Drs Bandler and Grinder.
The foundations of NLP assume that excellence in performance can be modelled and transferred from one person to another. The elements of an excellent performance can be broken down into its constituent parts, for example, excellent communication is a function of what is said (the words), how it is said (the tone, tempo, volume) and well as body language.
The NLP model functions at the level of what is happening with an individual’s perception of the world i.e. how an individual experiences an interaction and makes sense of that interaction. Because NLP examines the process of experience rather than the content, it is referred to as the “Study of Subjective Experience”.

Following is an outline of the course coverage and examples of professional applications of the skills and techniques.
Information Gathering & Outcomes
This NLP method introduces course participants to a way of organizing information into workable chunks to ensure the success of outcomes and targets.
Benefits: It assists in orienting individuals towards achieving personal and company outcomes
Applications: Negotiations, Sales, Counselling, Sports Performance, Management, Education
Rapport Skills
Rapport is the foundation of all influence. Participants will learn NLP behavioral steps for gaining rapport with others quickly and effectively and also a testing procedure to check rapport status. The degree of rapport you establish with someone else is determined by your ability to pace that person. Pacing involves getting in rhythm with the other person on as many levels as possible. Rapport skills enable you to create a relaxed atmosphere, elicit high quality confidential information and build trust. Successful communicators’ first build a strong rapport base and then move into influence strategies.
Benefits: Rapport skills enable you to create a relaxed atmosphere, elicit high quality confidential information and build trust.
Applications: Counselling, Sports Performance, Management, Recruitment, Sales, Negotiation, Leadership, Education, Patient Management
Representational Systems
We each represent reality by how we make contact with the world through our five senses. These representations are influenced by a dominant or preferred sensory system. Participants will learn the behavioral accessing cues that demonstrate another’s preferred representational system. These cues include eye movements, predicates or language, voice tone, gestures, breathing patterns and posture.
Benefits: Knowledge and use of representational systems enable you to identify and match different styles of communication. This results in comprehension being maximized and confusion minimized. Additionally, it allows a participant to expand their field of sensory perception to provide them with a greater wealth of information regarding verbal and non- verbal response.
Applications: Education, Negotiations, Sales, Counseling, Sports Performance, Management, Patient management.
Calibrations
This term relates to the NLP skill of reading a person’s external non-verbal behavior to determine internal thought processes and psychological states.
Benefits: This ability allows you to empathize, to improve rapport, to recognize objections or to incrementally build on agreement in negotiations
Applications: Negotiations, Sales, Sports Performance, Education, Counselling, Management, Patient management.
Anchoring
This refers to the association of a stimulus to a behavioral response for the purpose of accessing different psychological or physiological states. Several ways of using anchoring are covered in the course and these can be applied to a wide variety of areas for maximizing delivery of information, for overcoming un-resourceful emotional states, for creating effective atmospheres to conduct business and education and to improve resourcefulness and flexibility when influencing others particularly in sales, negotiations and training/coaching.
Benefits: It enables you to be personally resourceful and to assist others in achieving resourceful states such as creativity, confidence and enthusiasm
Applications: Counselling, Sports Performance, Management, Education, Coaching, Negotiations, Sales
Meta Model Verbal Information Gathering Tool
This is a structure for understanding, identifying and probing language to gather further high quality confidential information.
Benefits: It will assist you in minimizing misinterpretations, identifying needs and establishing relevant criteria for business and personal dealings.
Applications: Negotiations, Sales, Counselling, Sports Performance, Management, Recruitment, Education, Patient Management
Timeline
This is the process that indicates how we store our “past, present and future memories”. It is a powerful and effective time management tool. In educational and counselling settings, the use of timelines assists in tapping internal resources such as motivation and confidence and resolving
internal conflicts.
Benefits: It can result in unlocking an individual’s potential and freeing them from feelings of guilt, fear and anxiety.
Applications: Counseling, Sports Performance, Education, Management
Reframing
Any event has meaning, depending upon the “frame” in which we perceive it. When we change the frame, we change the meaning. This is called Reframing – changing the frame in which a person perceives events in order to change the meaning. When the meaning changes the person’s responses and behaviors also change.
Benefits: When complaints or objections arise, reframing allows you to assist another person in viewing the complaint in a different context or with a different meaning so that it is no longer an objection or obstacle. Reframing also assists in viewing a situation in a different way so you can recognize options not normally available with your habitual responses and thought patterns: it allows you to remain solution oriented and maximizes time spent in productive interactions.
Applications: Counselling, Sports Performance, Management, Education, Negotiations, Sales
Sub-modalities
The intensity of meaning holds a direct relationship to the component elements of a given representational system. For instance, as you remember a pleasant experience, the degree of pleasure you have in that memory is directly influenced by the color, size, brightness and distance of the visual image you hold in your mind’s eye. The techniques utilizing sub-modalities can assist in rapid, effective and long lasting behavioral changes.
Benefits: These techniques are used for problem solving, increasing motivation, accelerating learning, changing limiting beliefs and improving flexibility in situations. They therefore provide you with a greater choice of options in business and in your personal life.
Applications: Negotiations, Sales, Education, Counseling, Sports Performance, Management, Coaching
Behavioral Flexibility
Behavior is a significant piece of the communication process. If you tell your employer you are dedicated to your company and arrive for work late each morning, which counts more, your
words or your behavior? The highest quality information is behavioral.
Benefits: Being able to change your approach in any context is important in maximizing your choices in interactions.
Applications: Education, Counselling, Patient Management, Sports Performance, Management, Negotiations, Sales
Strategies
When NLP first began to study subjective experience, it was found the specific sequence of representational systems that a person used to process information created a unique structure of meaning. These representational system sequences are called strategies. This training program will cover strategies for learning, motivation, decision making and creativity. Additionally, techniques on how to elicit, install and design an individual’s strategy will be taught.
Benefits: The use of strategies is critical for behavioral modeling and understanding learning processes.
Applications: Education, Counselling, Sports Performance, Management, Negotiations, Sales
Multi Level Communication
Language is a powerful medium for communication, when used to its full potential. Multi Level Communication incorporates maximizing delivery by tonal marking and inflection to convey the message to both the conscious and unconscious levels of the listener. Additionally, the use of presuppositions in language illuminates what you want to be easily understood.
Benefits: These skills are critical for creating productive atmospheres for selling and staff management and in any context where you wish to influence with integrity to gain mutually beneficial outcomes.
Applications: Education, Counselling, Sports Performance, Management, Negotiations, Sales
