NLP Techniques - Presuppositions

A key part of NLP training is exploring the 'beliefs' or 'presuppositions of NLP'.

Your beliefs will effect your performance in any field. Holding the following beliefs for NLP and coaching is likely to significantly improve your performance.

The ability to change the process by which we experience reality is more often valuable than changing the content of our experience of reality

NLP pre-suppositions

1) The meaning of the communication is the response you get

2) All distinctions human beings are able to make concerning our environment and behaviour can be usefully represented through the visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, olfactory and gustatory senses

3) The resources an individual needs to make a change are already within them

4) The map is not the territory

5) The positive worth of an individual is help constant, while the value and appropriateness of internal and/or external change is questioned

6) There is a positive intention motivating every behaviour, and a context in which every behaviour has value

7) Feedback vs Failure. All results and behaviours are achievements, whether they are desired outcomes for a given task/context or not
