Nick Kemp Explains: What is Neuro Linguistic Programming?

NLP or Neuro Linguistic Programming can be described in the following way
Neuro:The way our brains and nervous system work.
Linguistic: The way we communicate, both to others (verbally and non-verbally) and ourselves (out loud and inside our heads).
Programming: A methodical and systematic way of coding our skills and knowledge, and replicating the skills of others.

By being able to communicate to our brains and nervous system in a methodical way, we can replicate the skills of others, and improve the behaviours we already produce in this world.
NLP is based on the proposition that all behaviour has a structure and that the structure can be modelled, learned and changed. NLP is, therefore, the study of patterns in behaviour and what can be calculated from them or as a colleague once said "It's about how you do, what you do."

Nick Kemp's involvement in NLP

I first trained in NLP in the 1990s with Richard Bandler the co creator of NLP. I used many of my NLP insights in corporate work with clients which I offer through Nick Kemp Training (www.nickkemptraining.com) In 2000 I also first started to use my insights from studying the art of language to create the Human Alchemy series of CDs, which are now available on all Amazon sites as well as my own products store online.
In 2004 I began running certificated NLP training courses for the public (visit www.tranceformingnlp.com) and in 2005 I set up www.nlpmp3.com as a free online resource for those interested in NLP. On this site I interviewed who I consider to be the very best trainers in NLP, including Richard Bandler, Doug O Brien, Steve Andreas and John LaValle among others. I also made sure that these trainer interviews are from different schools of NLP so that the public are able to hear a genuine variety of viewpoints from an independent perspective.

After writing many articles on NLP, in 2006 I was asked by the BBC to appear weekly on the radio to discuss the use of NLP in curing phobias. This resulted in 26 consecutive weeks of successfully working with numerous phobics and this work inspired me to create my own "Provocative Change Works" approach which was demonstrated in my "Provocative Change Works for Phobias" DVD set. In 2007 I was invited and accepted the position of being on the accreditation and advisory Board of ANLP.

Quotes from Dr Richard Bandler - Creator of NLP

"The reason people have problems is that they have too much time to think."

"The best thing about the past is that it's over. The best thing about the future is that it's yet to come. The best thing about the present is that it's here now."

"The greatest personal limitation is to be found not in the things you want to do and can't, but in the things you've never considered doing"

"Physics changes, but reality stays the same"

"People always tell me with absolute certainty that they don't trust themselves"

"All we are ever doing is putting things together or taking things apart…"

"We take the very best of what people do, synthesise it down, make it learnable and share it with each other - and that is what the real future of what NLP will be and its gonna stay that way!"

"If your world isn't moving a hundred times faster than your client, then you're not going to see the other person's patterns. You won't have the time to observe them or replay their behaviour to detect their patterns."

"The evolution isn't over. We are the experience that the universe is having.

"Disappointment requires adequate planning"

"Brains aren't designed to get results; they go in directions. If you know how the brain works you can set your own directions. If you don't, then someone else will."

"In High School I flunked English Language and Public Speaking. NLP was my revenge!"

"NLP is an attitude and a methodology, not the trail of techniques it leaves behind"

"Ho hum, more pleasure!"

If you say to yourself "It's difficult to get up in the morning", "It's hard to cease smoking", then you are already using hypnotic suggestions on yourself...

You know what ? Certain people think they will fell good if certain things happen... The trick is : you have to feel good for no reason...

But I'm sure of something, if you make you feel bad, you'll make bad decisions.

Remember, it's your own body, your own brain. You're not a victim of the universe, you are the universe.

If you can't enjoy what you have, you can't enjoy more of it.

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

I don't have to be an expert to use something. All I have to do is to use it.

- I'm depressed
- How do you know that ?
- I'm sorry ?
- You don't have to be sorry. How do you know, maybe are you happy !
- I don't think so.
- Are you sure ?
- Yeah
- Are you sure enough to be unsure ?
- As a matter of fact, I'm am. - Good, so you are certain you have doubt

Peoples tell me with absolute certainty they don't trust themselves. Or they tell me that they decided absolutely that they can't make good decision.

You know what, it's impossible for anyone to tell you anything that's a generalisation about themselves that won't destroy itself including that one...

I have news for you, God made me forgive you but I'm not going to. To me I don't want to be forgiven, I want to do better. See, when people tell me "I'm really sorry". I go "Fuck you", just do better. Don't tell me so I have to make you feel better.

I made the door in my house left-handed, because I'm left handed. When people come in, they push the door the wrong way, and hit themselves on the door. And you know what ? People keep harder and harder to do it ! When something doesn't work, try the same thing harder !

I work with kids taht are lysdexic

You can't change people by removing something. You must create a void and then fill it...

It's not impossible; it's the way I make it that don't make it happen.

Don't ever be to busy to be alive...

Memories are like holograms : you recreate in your head the whole image of something which isn't there.

Against what do they check your vision ? Against the most-non natural thing : a letter chart. You don't find them in nature. You don't go in the forest and see an 'E'.

When you are altering submodalities, you are already in some time distortion, the way you organize time a certain times versus others allows you to change those submodalities.

If you want to test the submodality shift between something you're sure, and something you're not, choose this fact : 'Doing in waking time every trance phenomenon I can do in trance'.

You are born with only two fears : fear of falling and fear of loud noises. All the rest are learned. And it's a lot of work!

How much pleasure can you stand?

"- I'm depressed..."
If you ask about what, and he answers "I don't know !", you're stuck. Ask "How do you know ?". Always ask about the biggest chunk.

If you can't get all that stuff you learned back to the store and get a refund, then you haven't integrated it !

So, hypnosis doesn't exists... And by the way, what's your name, I don't remember. And what was so important for you not to forget. NOW !
