Nuerolinguistic Programming – A tool for Managerial Counselling

Arthur C. Clarke, “Any sufficient advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic “. NLP school of thought was started by a computer engineer Richard Bandler and a psychologist Dr. John Grindler with the concept that every perception can be programmed. As explained by Tom Butler-Bowdon in 50 Best Self Help classic, if “People work perfectly, program thoughts, action and feeling, they get a new life.” For e.g.: A TV have a picture tube inside it. The soap operas that we view on TV are not because of the picture tube. The tube shows every details as it is received from the broadcasting station and the satelite through the transmitting waves. It stands same with our brain, here our brain is the picture tube and it shows us every incident as it received or recorded. NLP facilitates the programming of the brain so that no matter whatever message it records and we chose our responses and remain poised.
It focuses on how mind works on the possibility to find a solution. It is referred as ‘Personal congruence ‘ which can align desires and values to capability. As mentioned by Dr. Fathi El Nadi, “The people who are most effective are the ones who have a map of the world that allows them to perceive the greatest number of available choices and perspectives. NLP is a way of enriching the choices that you have and perceive as available in the world around you. Excellence comes from having many choices. Wisdom comes from having multiple perspectives.”. He defined NLP in two parts. Firstly, the Map is not the territory. As human beings, we can never know reality. We can only know our perceptions of reality. Secondly, Life and ‘Mind’ are Systemic Processes. The processes that take place within a human being and between human beings and their environment are systemic.
