What is NLP?

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is an approach to communication and personal development, built on the premise that the language we use — with other people and with ourselves — shapes how we think, and how we think shapes what we do. It is a practical toolkit for personal, professional, and career development: a way of thinking and communicating more deliberately, reading other people more accurately, and changing unhelpful patterns of thought that hold you back. It is not therapy, not counseling, and not a treatment for any medical or psychological condition. You can think of it as a “social technology” that, once mastered, will enable you to build the world around you the way you want it to be.

How NLP can help you

People who master NLP techniques report the following improvements.

Persuasion and influence

Building rapport quickly and deliberately, and making your case in a way that promotes positive behavior change in others.

Interviews, negotiations, and high-stakes conversations

Putting your best foot forward and managing impressions that others hold toward you.

Presence and public speaking

Holding a room with more authority, and maintaining poise and calm.

Confidence and self-talk

Identifying the internal language that limits you, and replacing it with something more useful.

Goals and follow-through

Getting specific about what you actually want, and closing the gap between intention and action.

Leadership and guiding others

Inspiring others, through self-control and modeling, to be the best that they can be.

Get in touch

I work with a small number of people at any one time. That is a function of my schedule rather than a judgment about who is suitable, so if something in the guide sounded familiar, it is worth reaching out to me: andrew@timmingnlp.com

We can speak for twenty minutes about what you are trying to change and whether this would help. There is no charge for that conversation, and nothing follows from it automatically.

The training runs as six one-to-one sessions. You are welcome to take one first and decide afterward, and if that first session does not persuade you, your fee is returned.
