Ultimate Performance Solutions

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) was developed starting in the early 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, when they set out to model the work of geniuses in the field of human communication and change. The term NLP is used to describe both the approach to modelling that they used, and the powerful models of communication and change they created. At Ultimate Performance Solutions we have been qualified by modern day NLP Guru Dr Will Horton (NFNLP, USA).

Dr Horton is highly regarded for his radical teaching techniques which aligns itself perfectly to the UPS learning style. Teaching of NLP is in classes that are highly experiential and participative. We think of ourselves as facilitators demonstrating these skills and attendees work in an interactive environment. Do not expect to be “lectured”.

NLP is a very powerful approach for maximizing communications, change, and excellent performance. It has been widely applied, with often astonishing results, in fields as diverse as:

• Business
• Coaching
• Sales & Influence
• Psychology
• Sports
• Healthcare
• Negotiation
• Education
• And the list goes on…

These days, most books on personal development will include at least some NLP techniques, and it has been incorporated into most influence and emotional intelligence training on at least some level. Some of the most powerful accomplishments of the field include:

• A learnable model of the skills of exquisite communicators
• A functional model of the skills of great visionaries
• A fast phobia cure
• A ‘state’ management towards excellence achievement

One of the most profound ideas of NLP is that, if one person can do something, it should be possible to find out what they’re doing and replicate it. NLP modelling is a unique approach for identifying and replicating the unconscious skills of excellent performers (Eg. the ‘naturally talented’) then teaching them to others.
