NLP IS ENOUGH!

 

If your aim is to be a full-time trainer, whether you plan to publicly or
within organizations or some combination of the two- all you need is NLP and
specifically Neuro-Semantic NLP.  That is all that you need.  You do not
need to try to supplement it with other things- not any of the personality
typing programs, not neuro-science (as if you or any of us are qualified for
that), not quantum mechanics (which has nothing to do with what we're doing
anyway), not yoga, not wilderness adventures, etc.  You do not need anything
else.  The same holds if you want to be a coach, consultant, therapist, etc.
NLP is enough.

 

Why do you not need anything else?  Because NLP and Neuro-Semantics are
incredibly rich domains.  It is a domain so rich that you could spend the
rest of your life studying it and never come to fully gain mastery of all of
its facets.  It is also a domain so suggestive that there are many, many
more areas (sub-domains) within NLP that are yet to be developed.  And
because we need sharp brilliant minds working on developing those domains -
you could be one of those persons.

 

There is yet another reason for this, namely, there is far too much
over-simplification in NLP, an over-simplifying that has degraded NLP so
that what is presented publically is a mere shadow of its full reality.  NLP
is presented in far too many places in a way that makes it anemic and
shallow.  From the way it is present you would not realize how dynamic it is
and all of the things you can do with it.

 

What explains this?  Several things.  First and foremost is the fact that
most people not know what it is.  They do not know that it is most
essentially a Communication Model.  Look at the first NLP book, The
Structure of Magic.   Look at its subtitle: "A book about communication and
change."  There you have it!  Communication and change.

 

Why then is it called "neuro-linguistic programming?"  It is because that's
what "communication" is made out of- neurological processes (brain,
neo-cortex, nervous systems, physiology, etc.) that generates linguistics
(symbolic systems for encoding and transmitting meaning) and encode them in
dependable and repeatable programs.

 

When you communicate to yourself, you create your internal sense of reality
and map of reality.  That gives you your "reality" and it could be highly
resourceful and effective or it could be completely dysfunctional and
miserable.  Whatever it is- you created it.  You learned it and you maintain
it and you can change it if you like.

 

When an expert communicates to him or herself, that expert creates a great
internal map of reality and experience of reality.  It enables the expert to
do things that the rest of us cannot.  Yet we could discover it, model it,
and then use it to inform how we could do so much better in that area of
expertise.  We call this modeling and herein lies a whole range of things we
have yet to model- ways to find best practices, "programs" that some expert
spent a lifetime learning which we could map out and replicate in our own
lives. 

 

When people communicate among themselves, whether it is a couple, a family,
a team, a business, a community, etc., they co-create their social sense of
reality and map of reality.  If it is accurate and precise, if it works and
produces good results- it creates healthy organizations and even
governments.  If it is inaccurate and imprecise, then the inter-personal
communication will probably result in misunderstandings, arguments,
conflicts and ineffective relationships. 

Communication is everything in NLP - that's what NLP is.  That's why NLP is
all you need.  

 

What then about Neuro-Semantics?  How does Neuro-Semantic contribute to NLP
and expand the NLP Model?  It does so by focusing on self-reflexive
communication.   That is, how we not only communicate linearly and
outwardly, but also systemically and inwardly.  This reveals the hidden
dimensions of communication- how we frame and set frames on our
communications- frames that give us and others a way to understand or
interpret what is said and done.

 

Personally I have spent three-and-half decades on this one single model.  In
Thinking Like A Modeler (2018) I described the twenty-six modeling projects
that I have taken on- projects that became books, training manuals, and a
lot of the content of Neuro-Semantics.  And I am nowhere near done, in fact,
I can now see that I will not live long enough to cover all of the subjects
that I'd like to cover.  There's too much.  There are depths in NLP that
have not been plummeted and there are many other areas that we have not even
begun to explore.  If you want to spend your life in an area and master it
and develop expertise in it - NLP is enough, especially Neuro-Semantic NLP.
