NLP Articles



The following articles were written over several years, mostly during my NLP education from beginner to NLP Master Practitioner and Trainer. These NLP articles cover many NLP issues in areas such as business and education, and miscellaneous pieces that were written in response to forum questions about NLP. I have also written extensively about choosing an NLP Practitioner which can be a difficult decision for someone who knows little about the subject of NLP and has little idea of how to judge whether a practitioner is right for them.


General NLP Articles

These general NLP articles were written in response to questions from clients and from people posting questions in various online forums. If you are new to NLP, then this is a good place to start your education:


Choosing an NLP Practitioner

When a client starts searching for a practitioner, there are usually a number of questions on their mind. Unfortunately many people do not feel comfortable asking them, often because they do not want to look stupid, or risk offending the Practitioner.

In my conversations with potential clients, the same questions come up time after time, so here are my responses to these, along with other questions that may come up when you are seeking a practitioner for the first time. If you have any other questions, then please contact PlanetNLP and I will add them to the list.



The Business of NLP

In many peoples eyes, NLP started life as a form of therapy, more recently becoming a tool for business leaders and educators. Within this context, does NLP work? Does it have any business benefits? Are practitioners well trained? Is NLP useful for education? These are the kind of questions that I am attempting to answer in the following articles:


NLP Techniques

The following articles are all related to specific NLP techniques and provide the background information related to many of the exercises and techniques explained elsewhere on PlanetNLP:


The Ethics of NLP

Since the beginning, NLP has had its share of controversy. In these articles I will be attempting to answer questions concerning the ethical issues for practitioners and for NLP in general such as whether NLP is manipulative and whether NLP's use is ethical for particular applications:



NLP Training

An NLP training is a big, and sometimes rather expensive step. For many people, simply spending some time with a practitioner may be more appropriate -especially as so many trainings often contain more participants who want to be 'fixed' than participants who actually want to learn some NLP techniques to help others. Elsewhere on this site are articles describing the contents of specific trainings and reviews, that you should read if you are serious about learning NLP:


Humor

After sex, humor is probably the most enjoyable human activity - during sex, humor is usually frowned upon.

Hopefully I will find my muse soon and write more:
