As well as NLP being an extraordinarily powerful set of skills and techniques for achieving human excellence in both personal and business development, NLP is also a philosophy and attitude that is imperative for anyone whose objective is excellence.

Neuro - relates to the nervous system and how we use our five senses, sight, sound, feeling, taste and smell (known in NLP as: visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, gustatory and olfactory) to translate experiences into thought processes at both the conscious and the unconscious levels.
Linguistic - how we use language to interpret experiences and in NLP how we communicate those experiences both to ourselves and to others.
Programming - how we 'encode' and utilise our experiences in the nervous system and the sequence in which we do so to achieve a specific outcome.

NLP can be described as how we learn to understand and in particular how we utilise human communications, behaviours and experiences to achieve specific outcomes. NLP provides us with the ability to dramatically increase our awareness and significantly heighten our understanding of the nervous system as well as discovering how to take control of it to achieve our absolute supreme potential.

NLP was created by John Grinder (a linguist) and Richard Bandler (a computer programmer and mathematician) in the 1970's when they asked themselves this question:

"What is the difference that makes the difference
between someone who excels at a skill and
someone with basic competence?"

This was the question that led to the initiation of their pioneering work into the structure of human excellence that is now know as NLP. John Grinder and Richard Bandler studied and modelled the physiology, language structures, and psychological processes of extraordinary therapists Fritz Perls (Gestalt therapy), Virginia Satir (Family therapy) and Dr. Milton Erickson (world-renowned psychotherapist and hypnotherapist). The NLP models were carefully selected as they consistently produced exceptional results. These NLP models of excellence provided John Grinder and Richard Bandler with the foundation of the patterns of excellence that are now be taught explicitly in the OPAL Rapid NLP Practitioner Certification© training.

NLP is now the fastest growing practical set of techniques and philosophy for achieving results and producing continual success in the world today. By attending the OPAL Rapid NLP Practitioner Certification©, you will learn some of the most useful, powerful and successful approaches to enable fast, effective change in all areas of your life.
