Life is not always about the destination, its more about the journey we take to get there, but having a clear idea of that purpose or goal or in navigational terms 'the north point' enables the journey to be that much more exciting.

Transform your team mindset with NLP
What is NLP?
NLP methodology can "model" the skills of exceptional people, then those skills can be acquired by anyone. This can be applied in any and all aspects of your life, career and personal relationships. I work with my clients by utilizing the NLP tools and skills to remodel and adapt less positive situations in the business environment in to positively reframed and successful outcomes.
NLP practitioner training and coaching allows me to work with clients and their teams to identify the challenges that digital transformation and change imposes on businesses and their cultures. I gather a big picture view of the environment, processes, ecology of the environment and team dynamics, as well as working with indiviuals to identify where their pain points, frustrations or more general habits are interacting amidst that environment. As you dive deeper and peel back the layers the techniques in NLP aid in providing a framework and engaging zone to create flexibility and creativity.
Let's consider communication in business:
Many think it's all about sending lots of emails, talking frequently, or writing eloquently. In reality, it's much more nuanced. Effective business communication involves building genuine rapport using physiology, voice tone, speed, volume, gestures, and language. Someone who understands how to draw on NLP skills and use them in work and daily life can even interface with people they don’t particularly like!
Delving deeper, we uncover how people process information, their values, and what truly motivates them. This understanding helps individuals be their best and perform optimally for the business. With this insight, resolving conflicts becomes easier, different perspectives are appreciated, and team performance is enhanced.
On an individual level, engaging 1:1 with an NLP practitioner can significantly reduce sick leave or prevent it altogether. It’s especially beneficial for those recovering from stress or mental health issues affecting their work. Returning to a supportive environment, free of judgment, is crucial for their recovery and reintegration.
where did it come from?
Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is an approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in California, United States in the 1970s. Its creators claim a connection between the neurological processes ("neuro"), language ("linguistic") and behavioral patterns learned through experience ("programming") and that these can be changed to achieve specific goals in life.
