What else does NLP offer the world of business ?
Seperate from NLP Application is the core activity, NLP is essentially a modelling technology, a means of establishing the difference that makes the difference. NLP can therefore be applied as a modelling technology in the business environment. In identifying the top performers in a business it is possible to model what it is about their behaviour that makes them outstanding. Sometimes the 'difference that makes the difference' can be surprisingly subtle. Once identified this makes available a 'Model of Excellence' which serves as a training or recruitment and selection aid.
Another area in which NLP is applied with tremendous success is that of coaching. The application of NLP is a remarkably empowering approach that can be used to facilitate movement from stuck or problem states. Many NLP Applications have an in-built ecology check that encourages a client to make fully congruent and informed decisions, this means positive action is far more likely with less chance of regression to old habits. Additionally NLP can be applied in a content free manner which means a coach can work on literally any issue without the client having to disclose personal or sensitive content to the coach.
