5 Reasons to Learn NLP
Intelligent, motivated individuals around the globe have been learning NLP for over 30 years. By far the most successful personal development technology in existence, NLP utilizes both the conscious and unconscious minds to make positive, permanent shifts in behavior. It has been used by actors and CEO’s alike to bring out their best selves, allowing them to make more money and enjoy greater success and fulfillment. Don’t you think it’s time to join them?
1. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) teaches you how to create a natural rapport with important contacts.
Not only does the ability to generate liking in your clientele boost sales, it can also make you stand out in interviews and important meetings. Our NLP students learn how to build rapport with anyone in five minutes or less, with integrity and style.
2. NLP teaches you how people think.
By learning what makes people tick, you have an edge in marketing, sales, and in every day life. Relationships also improve when you know each other’s model of the world and how to communicate in a way that will be heard and understood.
3. With NLP you can conquer fears and phobias.
Afraid of flying or public speaking? Fears can get in the way of normal life- and making money. Have you turned away offers or deals because of your fears or concerns? Maybe it’s time to move through fear and into greater freedom and success.
4. NLP teaches you how to be an effective leader.
Whether you manage a team of individuals or teach or parent children, you need to be able to take the lead- and get others to follow. NLP offers a set of concrete linguistic patterns designed to persuade others in a more positive direction. And, you’ll learn how to develop your own style and charisma.
5. NLP can make you happier.
When it comes down to it, life is meant to be enjoyed. If anything gets in the way of your happiness, it’s time for a change. With NLP you can clear away stress, apathy,fear, and resentment in a short time. Once you’ve learned the techniques, you can use them to build a career that will continue to improve your happiness!
Calm Under Pressure
Yesterday I got stuck in an elevator.
I was on the way to my office on the fourteenth floor, when a tourist heading to the basement hopped in my elevator. He noticed his mistake as we quickly ascended to the penthouse. When the doors failed to open at my floor and the elevator began bouncing quite strongly, the man began to panic.
I’ve often wondered how this would feel. Growing up in the funeral business, I know how it feels to be closed in tight spaces (doesn’t every child play in caskets?). And, my experience in NLP has given me the foresight to imagine handling these types of situations in a calm and relaxed manner. But you never really know yourself until you’re in the situation.
I pressed the call button once. No answer. I pressed again. I couldn’t hear the answer over the tourists’ shouts. Somehow, the fact that he was in such a bad state called me into action (it didn’t hurt that I was on my way to teach an NLP class). I stepped into the role of savior- I had to get this frightened man out of the elevator. And ten minutes later, I did.
Reflecting on the experience now, it actually was quite fun. It’s not every day you get to test yourself and succeed. I recognize now that I can do anything and overcome any negative emotions when another person is depending on me. And I wonder, if I stay in that role every day, how many more things can I overcome?
