ABOUT NLP...
NLP is the abbreviation for Neuro Linguistic Programming.
- Neuro – the brain
- Linguistic – language, both verbal and non-verbal
- Programming – installing a system to get consistent results
So basically, NLP is using the language of the brain to program ourselves the way we want to be and to get excellent results consistently.
Although NLP is a science in its own right, it can also be loosely categorized as psychology, because it is a study of the mind. NLP however, is psychology with a difference. The early developers of NLP were insatiably curious about how excellent results are achieved, and how to teach others to get the same outcomes. They believed that ‘if it’s possible in one person’s neurology, it’s possible in anyone’s neurology’. NLP then, is the ‘Science of Success’ or the ‘Science of Excellence’.
The developers were extremely successful in their studies of some of the
geniuses of that time (1970’s) and in their resultant experiments of
applying that knowledge. So much so, that we now have a trail of proven
techniques to make the kind of changes that will enrich any and all aspects
of our lives. NLP is famous for so many change processes, including the ‘10 minute
Phobia Cure’. They are too numerous to list here.
Because NLP is basic to the functioning brain, the formulas, or strategies, can be applied in anyone’s life. Many leading business and motivational consultants such as Anthony Robbins are NLP trainers. Medical research is confirming the NLP cures for allergies, phobias & asthma, etc. High achieving athletes, salespeople, businesses, organizations, etc, use NLP to maximize their success. NLP is the core ingredient in accelerated learning (now applied increasingly in Western methods of teaching). NLP is very powerful and the researched, systematic techniques will enable you to get the measurable results you want.

You got yourself across quite vividly. Yes, I like it! No other professor
ever taught me this.

(about The Leading Edge)
I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the interactive communication between
each trainee. It was a colorful presentation with clear full notes and you
focused on important skills that can be used in daily communication.
Micheal. Sales Staff, ChinaHawk Enterprises Ltd.
(about Advanced Customer Service Skills)
For me the most powerful message in the workshop is that we create our own
reality - and that we can change it. Stories are a wonderful way of giving
people subtle messages to think about without making them feeling threatened.
Playing games was helpful too, as it is a way of getting people interacting
with each other in a non stressful way. I am pleased I met you.
Johanna Lettink. Natural Therapist

she is teaching. I have learned a lot of interesting things I didn’t
know before. I will tell my friends about it. It has helped me a great deal.

Feedback from NLP Client, Doug DuBrul...
"I met Linda while touring China. We talked about NLP. I wanted
to
get involved. Since I had to be back in California soon. I asked
Linda if we could do our NLP work over the phone. She mentioned to
me that there were other NLP Practitioners in the USA. I just felt
there was something special about Linda. During our phone sessions I
felt like she was right there with me.
"I could tell that she had made notes and thought about each session before I called. I would highly recommend her. My life has taken a lasting turn for the better as a result of our work. Most important perhaps were the daily "homework" assignments she gave me, one of which was to play my own music for at least 5 minutes per day. The unexpected result is that I now have several new original songs. It has been 10 years since I started and finished a new song. I am also suddenly aware of what does not work in my life.
"This has started several concrete courses of action. I had only a vague idea of what I wanted out of my life before. It is like waking from a dream in a lot of ways. Now each day counts - each moment. For instance one goal is better heart, health and lower blood pressure. Today I was waiting for my father to have some dental work done. I took my bike out of the back of my van and explored the area, so instead of "waiting" I was moving towards one of my goals. I do not have to take blood pressure medication anymore."
