all about modeling success! Imagine being able to follow someone around that is getting the same results you desire. With their permission, you could mirror their behaviors, listen in on the language they use with themselves and others, and tap into their powerful beliefs systems they use to create success. HOW POWERFUL WOULD THAT BE FOR YOU?

Well, you don’t have to wonder because that is exactly how NLP got started. Modeling THE BEST therapists and practitioners in the world! The 2 founders emulated their thought pattens, beliefs and actions when they were getting results with others! NOW… it's available to you!  

In essence, all of NLP is founded on two fundamental presuppositions - 

1. The Map is Not the Territory. As human beings, we can never know reality. We can only know our perceptions of reality. We experience and respond to the world around us primarily through our 5 sensory representational systems. It is our 'neuro-linguistic' maps of reality that determine how we behave and that give those behaviors, not reality itself. It is generally not reality that limits us or empowers us, but rather our map of reality that gets in our way!  

2. Life and 'Mind' are Systemic Processes. The processes that take place within and between human beings and their environment are systemic. Our bodies, our societies, and our universe form an ecology of complex systems and sub-systems all of which interact with and mutually influence each other. It is not possible to completely isolate any part of the system from the rest of the system. Such systems are based on certain 'self-organizing' principles and naturally seek optimal states of balance or homeostasis.

All of the models and techniques of NLP are based on the combination of these two principles. In our belief system of NLP it is not possible for human beings to objectively KNOW reality. Experience, morals and actions do not derive from having the one 'right' or 'correct' map of our world, because human beings are not capable of making one. Rather, the goal, using NLP, is to create the richest map possible that respects this systemic nature and ecology of ourselves and the world we live in.

The people who are most successful are the ones who have a map of the world that allows them to perceive the greatest number of available, perspectives, choices and opportunities! NLP is a way of enriching those choices that you have available in the world around you. Simply put - Excellence comes from having many choices and the richest map possible. Wisdom comes from having multiple perspectives. And, success comes from making the best possible decisions that shapes our future!                      CLICK HERE FOR THIS EXERCISE
