I personally am tremendously grateful to Dr. Richard Bandler for NLP™, DHE® and his contribution to human communication and acknowledge that the information and logos are used with his express permission. We are delighted to be associated with him and the Society of NLP™! NLP is about freedom, choice.

NLP™ is the study of the structure of subjective experience and is based on the concept that all behavior has structure. Wow! I know it is a mouthful. The models describe how the human brain functions and are used to teach them, and how language operates on the brain. In simple language, it is about how your brain works. NLP™ is not a model of repair, but a model of acquisition.

It is a model that can be applied and taught by experience. It is about having more choices, modeling excellence, and accelerated learning and is an extensive brain training. Dr. Richard Bandler began creating and developing the technology (and soon was joined by John Grinder), which was based on modeling experts in many varied fields the early 1970's. They are referred to as co-developers of NLP. In my opinion and others, Richard was and is the genius of NLP and the modeler. They held a seminar in Dr. Dave Dobson's living room before it was called NLP and to quote Dave,"Richard was the genius......no question about that."

Millions of people in education, health care, business and personal development use NLP™ to change their own behavior and influence others effectively. It is an excellent model that allows us to create magic in communication and change.

NLP™ is an attitude characterized by the sense of curiosity and adventure and a desire to learn the skills to be able to find out what kinds of communication influences somebody and the kinds of things worth knowing...to look at the life as a rare and unprecedented opportunity to learn.

NLP™ is a methodology ..based on the overall operational presupposition that all behavior has a structure.. that structure can be modeled, learned, taught, and changed (re-programmed). The way to know what will be useful and effective are the perceptual skills.

NLP™ has evolved as an innovative Technology enabling the practitioner to organize information and perceptions in ways that allow them to achieve results that were once inconceivable.

Neuro refers to our nervous system (neurology, our brain) through which we experience and process information using our five senses. (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, Olfactory, Gustatory)

Linguistic refers to our language, verbal and non-verbal through which neural representations are coded, ordered and given meaning.

Programming refers to our ability to organize our communication and neurology to achieve specific goals and results.

Some presuppositions of NLP™ are:

NLP™ is not a model of repair - it is a model of acquisition - a generative model.
People have all the resources necessary to make any changes they choose.
The meaning of your communication is the response you get.
Behavioral flexibility results in more choices. More choice are better than limited choices.
The positive self-worth of the individual is held constant. There is a distinction between self and behavior.
The mind and body are part of the same cybernetic system.
Individuals communicate on two levels: conscious and unconscious.
The highest quality of information in an interaction is behavioral information.
There are no mistakes in communication - only results. Mistakes are feedback without which flexibility and variability would be impossible. Mistakes are seen as opportunities to learn. The attitude of NLP™ views each experience as a rare and unprecedented opportunity to learn.
In interactions among people, the individual with the greater flexibility and variability in thinking patterns and behaviors can influence the direction of the outcome of that interaction. In Cybernetics, this is referred to as the "Law of Requisite Variety".
The map is not the territory. Humans create maps/models of the world to make sense of their experience, maintain coherency and guide their behavior. We do not operate directly on our world, but rather through our sensory representations of the world. NLP™ is a model of these mapping processes.

NLP™ is a methodology that proves it's value when it is applied to any field of endeavor. Therefore, when we teach NLP™, we teach it in a way that allows you to apply it to your specific desires and goals. If you want to improve your golf game, be a better lover, be more persuasive, successful at business, a better health care professional, or just accelerate your learning-our training can help you reach your goals.

Here, at EXCELLENCE QUEST, we teach by installation, not by teaching technique after technique. NLP™ is a methodology that leaves behind it a trail of techniques. Techniques become outdated and the NLP™ model allows for generation of new techniques. While we do teach techniques, we also teach behavioral and valuable language skills. Language, after all, is our middle name. We believe in whatever is useful, whatever works. There are no written tests for certification, because NLP™ is experiential.

We encourage the totally useful approach--insatiable curiosity and flexibility. You will also learn to use some Hypnosis as a tool for change and achievement. If you want to learn the most recently developed, specific, useful information, acquire incredibly effective tools and skills, have fun doing it, and see excellent results; if you are into great feelings, come join us. Below, you will find some of what you will learn in our training. We not only teach the concepts but how to use them effectively. And we use them to teach the concepts. We have been told many times by many people that we do more exercises and have more fun in our seminars than anyone else. So, we teach it, demonstrate it, and you use it in the safe environment of your classroom. get information with our request form

Classes are deiberatly kept small and intimate. Below is a partial list of what you will be exposed to.

You may ask yourself, "How will I benefit and what will I learn when I attend an Excellence Quest NLP™ training? What will iI be able to do?

What will I get? Read this list carefully. You will learn even more technology and how to practically use it for yourself and with others.

"New Year's Resolution or Not?

Barb — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 21:30:00 +0000

Through my hands-on personal research, I've discovered that most people
don't keep their resolutions. Why? Because most of them are not
behavioral. The resolution to have Lulu or Jack to fall in love with
them in 2011 or to win the lottery or to receive a large inheritance, or
a windfall of money from somewhere goes nowhere. How about setting a
behavioral goal that we are in charge of, that we control, is positive
and have a way of knowing when we accomplish it? But wait, there's more
in our free Stepps for Better Living Newsletter! Thank you or taking
our survey. For you who have not gotten our free MP3s here are the
