5. Learning Outcome
This module is a taster session, so you will just be dipping your toe into
the water to get a flavor of what its about. The training is relaxed and
informal and very practical - it gives you the opportunity to actually
experience the learning in a safe environment.
Flexibility
The qualities that will enable you to get the most of this learning are to
keep an open mind, (but not so open that your brain falls out) be curious,
and to suspend judgement while you do so. Knowing this you can realise
that you have more resources than ever before.

6. What is NLP?
NLP is about what works, not what should work. In other words, If what
you're doing isn't working, try something else, anything else regardless
of whether what you had been doing should have worked. It is a field
that is continually innovating and developing.
Techniques for quickly and effectively changing thoughts, behaviors and
beliefs that get in your way. In a nut-shell NLP is about how we organize
our thinking, feeling, skills and behavior.

7. NLP a brief history
It was created in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder. It is based in
linguistics, psychology and communication and has had extensive applications
in business, education, health, as well as in therapeutic change work.
The co-founders of NLP noticed that there were three fundamental
characteristics of really effective communicators that were shared by all of the
therapists, excellent communicators and influencers that they studied.
These characteristics are also shared by effective leaders, salespeople and
teachers.
1. Be clear about what you want
2. Have the flexibility to adapt your behaviour
3. Use your senses to notice if you are getting what you want

8. In brief
• We are often told that our brain is
NLP the most amazing computer on the
Neuro – the mind-body and
planet, but nobody ever gave us an
how it works. instruction manual on how to use
it.
Linguistic – the language we use
to describe and categories • NLP offers you that information,
our world and to make sense enabling you to take more control
of our experience. over your thoughts, feelings action
and life.
Programming – repeating
patterns of thought and
behaviour that can help or
hinder us.

9. Each of us possess in our brains, the most
sophisticated computers ever conceived
• Just imagine what you would do if
your new computer arrived
without instructions...
• Or, climbed behind the wheel of
your car for the very first time and
had no instructions to guide you...
• How far do you think you would
get?
