NLP and Business Applications and Common Benefits of NLP

Resourceful Change NLP Training
There are many ways that training in Neuro-Linguistic
Programming (NLP) can benefit your business.
The purpose of this document is to explore the impact of NLP on
common business needs.
Communication
NLP can help to create greater appreciation of the importance of
good communication. There are various skills which help to
achieve this:
Good rapport skills form the foundation for powerful and enduring
relationships with co-workers and customers.
An understanding of the psychology of influence is essential in
presenting ideas effectively and positively.
Many consider influence to be a linguistic skill, yet the key to being
effective is in expressing the right emotional message.
The morale of a sales force is linked directly to self-esteem, so
ethical approaches to sales can increase productivity while
reducing stress and amount of sick leave.
Conflict resolution and positive customer relationships are both
dependent on clear communication and an understanding of the
psychology of human needs.
Many approaches to influence focus on 'getting to yes', yet stop at
verbal agreement. Our approach uses 7 psychological factors to
trigger compliance - agreement followed by definite action.
Personal Effectiveness
There are several abilities that characterise personal effectiveness:
Firstly, the ability to think creatively and generate useful solutions.
There are various strategies in NLP for increased creativity and
problem-solving ability.
Again, clear communication underpins the effectiveness of an
individual in their department and in their professional roles.
To maximise the effectiveness of individuals, it is necessary to
break down any 'learned limitations' or limiting assumptions within
the corporate culture. Specific tools exist within NLP to identify and
eliminate such faulty thinking.
Effective people are goal oriented - and not all goals are
achievable or realistic. We present a seven-point checklist to fully
optimise personal and group outcomes.
To be effective, it is necessary that we ready to be our best at all
times. The key ability in this domain is to access resourceful states
of mind at will. NLP anchoring and state control can rapidly bring a
person out of overwhelm and stress into a more capable emotional
state.
Negotiation
NLP has many applications in negotiation and sales:
Specific observation skills from NLP provide an extra depth of
insight into the motivations of others.
Linguistic tools can be used to highlight areas of true importance,
which are separate from a negotiating position.
An understanding of where to grant autonomy within a negotiation
can break a deadlocked situation rapidly, reducing conflict within
teams and departments.
The linguistic skills of NLP can be used to control the context of a
negotiation, casting former adversaries in mutually positive and
meaningful roles.
Other favourable elements, such as seeking common ground and
achieving win/win outcomes are an implicit part of these skills.
Profiling
NLP 'Meta-programs' describe instinctive patterns of focus which
can influence behaviour. These patterns can be built into a profile.
Profiling of this sort can be used to understand current
competencies and areas of excellence.
We can also model top performers to determine the specifics that
create their excellence and use these models in recruitment for
similar roles. Further, these models can be used retroactively as a
guide for staff development pathways.
Leadership
While many have sufficient ambition, few have all the qualities
necessary to be an inspiring and effective leader.
Leadership requires aptitude in every one of these areas,
integrating them into a practical, personal philosophy.
That is why our training incorporates all of these skills in a unique
way.
Our Approach
We train delegates in small groups (typically fewer than 18
participants) using accelerated learning techniques.
Three factors are noteworthy:
Our approach creates significantly greater retention of information,
creating a longer period for practical application after the training
has ended. This allows new skills to become integrated as habitual
and effective actions.
Our training methods engage the delegates' attention at several
levels and the small group size allows us to satisfy the personal
needs of each individual.
The tuition is highly experiential, allowing delegates to test our
methods and apply them to their own area of expertise while still
under our guidance in the training room. This creates greater
confidence in the new methods, fostering a greater degree of
application post-training.
Our NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner trainings are
world's largest and oldest NLP-certifying body.
Additionally, our certificates are accepted by both UK-based NLP
organisations.
Summary
While identifying many areas where NLP can impact your
organisation, this presentation can only scratch the surface of this
topic. We understand that every organisation is individual and has
specific needs and challenges.
We can advise you on courses of training and development that
will match your needs.
