NLP: Neuro-Linguistic Programming is a method that gives you insight into how you perceive reality, how you give meaning to it and where this comes from. But there is more; NLP gives you tools to learn to perceive in a different way, to influence the meaning of what you perceive and to change patterns. NLP is therefore a method that provides insight and enables change, allowing you to communicate more effectively.

NLP, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, consists of the following elements:

Neuro

We perceive the world through our five senses: we see, hear, feel, smell and taste. All sensory information that comes in is processed in our brains via our nervous system. There, the information is filtered, organised and encoded, and the remaining information forms a kind of film that plays continuously in our brains.

Linguistic

We give meaning and therefore value to this film. We express the meaning we give to the information we receive through language. We do this verbally, but – even more so – non-verbally. Through our language, intonation and body language, we make clear what meaning we attach to our perceptions. Did you know that we only communicate 7% of our message through words? Your voice and non-verbal communication account for the remaining 93%.

Programming

The moment we give meaning to the film, a programme is immediately activated in our brains that puts us in a certain state of mind or evokes a certain feeling. This feeling in turn activates other programmes that control the muscles in our bodies. This is how body language and our visible behaviour are created. Our behaviour therefore consists of unconscious, automatic programmes and learned patterns. Our behaviour is an extension of the meaning we have given to our perceptions. We behave in accordance with the thoughts and feelings that arise from our perceptions.
