There is an old saying: “The only person who likes changes is a wet baby”. It’s certainly true for some people and definitely true for some NLP’ers. In 1993 we sat down with Richard Bandler to talk about what was going on with people using NLP. Richard said: “So many of these people are just copying what they’ve heard from someone else who copied it from someone else who copied it from me - I can’t believe people think that 21 days or 24 days or any amount of days is what makes a practitioner training. It’s who is teaching, how they are teaching and what they are teaching.” Continue reading →

1. The ability to change the process by which we experience reality is more often valuable than changing the content of our experience of reality.
2. The meaning of the communication is the response you get.
3. All distinctions human beings are able to make concerning our environment and our behavior can be usefully represented through the visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory, and gustatory senses.
4. The resources individuals need in order to effect a change are already within them.
5. The map is not the territory.
6. The positive worth of the individual is held constant, while the value and appropriateness of internal and/or external behavior is questioned.
7. There is a positive intention motivating every behavior, and a context in which every behavior has value.
8. Feedback vs. Failure - All results and behaviors are achievements, whether they are desired outcomes for a given task/context, or not.

Dr. Richard Bandler
