NLP aka Neuro Linguistic Programming is the study of, the structure of, subjective experience, in particular, the structure of excellence. Studying NLP helps you understand how you think, communicate, and run strategies in your daily life with a set of behaviours and beliefs you hold, consciously and unconsciously. And this, you do by studying patterns, yours, as well others. Becoming aware, of your patterns, helps you create choices in the way you run strategies for living.
The core of NLP is modelling excellence in order, to reproduce the results that you, as well others are getting in life and consistently. This is achieved through an intense and structured process using a combination of tools and models available in NLP.
