Introduction

Neuro linguistic programming is an approach that brings personal development in any individual by interpreting and translating the human perception, experience, beliefs and language. It was developed in early 1970s with the active involvement of Gregory Bateson.

The basic principle of neuro linguistic programming is that success can be achieved by increasing the positive habits and reducing the negative ones. These positive habits either can belong to the same individual, or can be a model of habits of highly successful people. The initial study of interpreting success patterns and behaviors was done on exceptional psychotherapists who were had attained the zenith of success in their field.

Neuro-linguistic Programming states that our perception of an experience depends not only on the external stimuli, but also on what our senses capture and our mind interprets employing our preset notions, beliefs, assumptions and value system. Thus, our response to the external stimuli or experience is dependent on this perceived image of the world, using the emotions, feelings and thoughts we go through during that event.

Neuro-linguistic Programming states that when we put an experience into words, the words are key indicators of the underlying thoughts and feelings that we experienced during that event. Therefore, by listening, questioning and understanding the language and choice of words used by an individual, we can create a highly structured model of his behavior and response. This model can then be analyzed to eliminate any problems faced by the individual. We can also model the positive or successful aspects of our behavior or those of another person, and reproduce that model and apply on our negative aspects in order to change or improve them.

A successful person exhibits a certain behavior, beliefs and line of thought. If we can model these inherent attributes of the success, and apply them in our day-to-day lives, any common individual can also reach their highest potential and zenith of success.

NLP Persuasion Patterns and Benefits

Neuro-linguistic Programming includes a few excellent techniques for persuasion using certain patterns in the language such as anchoring, metaphor, therapeutic trance, explicit verbal language and reframing. Neuro-linguistic persuasion techniques can be used for business such as for increasing profits, sales, etc by using manipulative techniques. Persuasion methods described in Neuro-linguistic courses can also be used for therapeutic purposes to heal a patient from mental disorders, phobias or manias, or to bring about a positive change in his attitude and behavior.

Our communication methods can sometimes be mindless, in the sense that we might not always choose the right set of words. We might sometimes choose to use a generalized statement, which on its own cannot be true. For example when we say, “You always make mistakes”, such a statement cannot be true.

In fact, it shows a complete lack of sensibility on our part, by stating something so far away from the truth. No person can always make mistakes, there will always be something he does right, say breathing, sleeping, eating, walking etc. Therefore using such ineffective language for communication creates a bad impression the recipient.

As a human being, it is impossible for us not to have any influence on another human being. This influence can be positive or negative, and spread over varied degrees. Our language and choice of words can be used either to persuade an individual, or to manipulate him for personal gain.

Even when we are not communicating through language, we are communication via our body language and vibes. This covert or open form of communication has formed the basis for all our interactions, and we can make a difference or hurt someone with this inherent characteristic.

Nature of Communication within NLP

Any communication can be described as a set of frames, each dependent on the previous frames or responses. When you make a statement, the recipient will respond in a certain way.

The choice of words of your next statement will then be decided by considering this response. For example, if you present an idea, the recipient can either accept the idea or disagree to it at different degrees. You will need to construct your next statement by analyzing this response, and choosing words so as to completely persuade the recipient.

Over the course of the conversation, your aim is to express the intention and benefits of the idea to the recipient, however preposterous it may sound at first, or no matter how antagonistic the recipient is in the beginning. It is important that you always maintain a level of respect, and dignity in your choice of words, so as not to offend the recipient. In case you come across as too aggressive, or too pushy, the recipient will most likely run away from you.

To efficiently use the persuasive patterns of language described in Neuro-linguistic courses, the speaker must understand the finer aspects of communication, its constituents and the function of the patterns in the whole process. A persuasion pattern essentially comprises of three parts, a frame, a response and a reframe. Once a frame is delivered by the speaker, using words to rightfully describe his thoughts, the recipient will return a related response. The response will be the key to formulating the reframe statement. It is important to lead the conversation for some time, and let the recipient lead the remaining times. Only then can a mutually beneficial, engrossing and persuasive conversation be held.

The method of Neuro-linguistic persuasion and influence is not a one-way process, it is happening in both ways. While you are trying to influence a recipient, the recipient is also trying to persuade you. Therefore, it is essential to observe these patterns in an intuitive manner so that you can deliver a better response.

A single statement used in different situations can have different meanings. The meaning of the statement also depends on other aspects such as body language, tone, facial expressions and speech delivery. The patterns used during persuasion can be based on different Neuro-linguistic Programming models such as Milton model, Meta model etc and used to express ideas and thoughts or shift between subjects under the same core idea.

There are several ethical concerns related to the use of Neuro-linguistic Programming for persuasion. Some groups proclaim that the methods taught in Neuro-linguistic courses are baseless, ineffective and only used to make profits by alluring the clients with big words but are devoid of any substantial results.
