What is NLP?
NLP is a very practical approach to human behavior. Initially created in the 1970’s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, NLP is a methodology for modeling excellence. Its primary focus is on how to operate your own mind and body to create what you want in life.
The discoveries made from the methodology of NLP have led to techniques that are used in business, education, and health, as well as therapy (and we’ve had participants attend our trainings from all of these various fields). It is often said that NLP has made the greatest contribution to the behavioral sciences in the last 30 years.
Throughout this training you will uncover and work with the processes that precede behavior. You will learn the very fabric of thought and action. And you will learn a set of skills that can be the foundation for all the goals in your life.
Before the development of NLP, we had explanations as to why we act in certain ways. Since NLP, we have the understanding of how we act in those ways.

I enjoyed the lesson and all the information. One of Joe’s stories reminded me of a time several years ago when I went to Whitewater Center with family and my nephew wanted to go on the suspended ropes obstacle course and because I was the one in fitness, I was volunteered to do it with him. I didn’t say anything but once we got to the top a fear of heights started to kick in. I quickly had to get rid of this fear because my nephew turned to me and was now not sure he wanted to do this but there was no turning back now. So, I had to go into my fitness mode when determination to succeed kicks in. Come on, we got this! I switched places with him and went first to show I was not scared and begin coaching him through the obstacle. Didn’t know I was using NLP.

This session helped release my fear of not sleeping and my lifelong belief that my mom gave me her fear of feeling trapped, which I carried my entire life. But I also realize she made me fiercely independent because she never wanted me to be trapped in a relationship, like she was. How amazing.
