Created in the 1970s, NLP has become a mainstay of personal and business coaching and communication. It incorporates a number of tools and techniques for behavioural pattern interrupts to help us break limiting behaviours and beliefs – therefore clearing us of problems and focusing on goals and positive behaviours. NLP helps us to understand the world and how we process it – so that we can effectively use this to assist ourselves and others towards more positive effectiveness. It can be especially useful for communication, confidence, stress, phobias and social interaction.
