What is NLP?
Neuro-Linguistic Programming
Neuro: Our neurology and our ve senses
Linguistic: The language we use to
describe our word and communicate with
others
Programming: The habitual and often
sequential nature of our thoughts,
feelings, and actions
History of NLP
Richard Bandler and John Grinder (1970s)
Studied successful therapists (Fritz Perls,
Virginia Satir, etc..)
Observed patterns in their behaviors
The Structure of Magic I and II
Meta-Model
History of NLP
Met Dr. Milton H. Erickson
Master of indirect hypnosis
The Milton Model
Proof that powerful skills can be
duplicated
History of NLP
Presuppositions of NLP
The map is not the territory
Experience has a structure
The mind and body are parts of the same system
If one person can do something, anyone can learn to do it
People already have all the resources they need
You cannot NOT communicate
The meaning of your communication is the response you get
Underlying every behavior is a positive intention
People are always making the best choice(s) available to them
If what you are doing isn't working, do something else. Do
anything else.
Building Physical
Rapport
Mirroring and Matching
Body position, posture, movement, rhythm,
breathing
Voice tone, speed, volume, rhythm
Do not mimic
Building Verbal Rapport
Representational systems
Visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory
(smell), gustatory (taste)
People usualy prefer or lead with one or
two
Predicates
Everything after and including the verb
of a sentence
Can help to determine the
representational system being used
Example: I can see what youre saying
clearly
Communicating with someone using the
same rep. system they are using can help
to gain rapport
Visual Phrases:
I see what you mean
We see eye to eye
The future looks Bright
Auditory Phrases
Loud and clear
Unheard-of
Word for word
Kinesthetic Phrases
I can grasp that idea
I got the hang of it
I will get in touch with you
Olfactory and Gustatory Phrases
a sweet person
something smells shy
that's bitter-sweet
Motivation Strategies
(metaprograms)
Metaprograms: perceptual lters
Motivation Strategies
Toward: motivated toward their goals. Go
for what you want.
Away-from: motivated to avoid what you
don't want.
Submodalities
The way we think about / perceive
something is directly linked to the way we
feel about it
For visual rep. system. The bigger and
brighter an image is in your mind, the more
real, close, or attractive it feels.
Submodalities
Use submodality words and phrases to make the
picture you want in their head, as big, bright, and real
as possible
Combine with motivation strategies
away-from: "I know you want to avoid a potentially
big situation, by pissing off the boss, so do I, let's
just get this done before it gets any bigger."
toward: "I know you want to make the boss happy,
if you do this, I know he'll have a big bright smile
on his face, and the future you want in the
company will be closer than ever."
Milton Model
The Milton Model
Pace and lead a person's reality
Distract and utilize the conscious mind
Access the unconscious and resources
Used for hypnotic induction, therapy,
inuence
Milton Model
Pacing and leading
Pacing
Rapport
Describe on going experience
Leading

Indirect (deep structure)
Milton Model
Techniques:
Ambiguity (Generalized Referential Index)
Certain things might come to mind
People can begin to feel more comfortable when listening to a
good speaker
Presuppositions: assumptions that have to be made in order to make
sense of a sentence
Will you be more relaxed if you stand up or sit down?
After you've told me what I need to know, you can go back to
what you were doing.
Imbedded commands:
I don't know if you can listen carefully to what I have to say.
When I talk people are able to listen carefully to what I have to
say.
You don't have to listen carefully to what I have to say, but as
you do you will begin to realize how you can use NLP in your
own life.
