Neuro-Linguistic Programming
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) consists of an evolving set of theories, techniques and models which are designed to help people achieve excellence in their work, education, sport, etc. It was originally developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the United States, and they began their researches by studying the characteristics of people they considered to be excellent in their field. NLP also incorporates many of the features of accelerated learning, including visualisation and the importance of discovering one's preferred learning style, i.e. to what extent one is visual, auditory or kinaesthetic. There are many NLP training courses, and there are recognised NLP qualifications. Some Key Elements of NLPOne of the key elements of NLP is that you always start with yourself.

In other words, you will be at your most resourceful and at your best when there is an alignment of all the aspects of your personhood: your purpose, character, beliefs, values, skills, behaviour, etc. Under these conditions everything you do feels right. The following precepts of NLP should help to provide a flavour of some of its significant concerns and perceptions:
