Who Can Use NLP? Will It Be Relevant To The
Skills Needed In My Workplace
NLP is essentially a "meta-skill" that
enables you to take control of your thinking and your internal processes, so
that you get more out of yourself. It teaches you how your internal
emotional state is a large influence on your productivity, on your interactions
with others, on how well you maintain your morale, and how to life others'
morale, too.
This means that it is a skill relevant to any
job. Here are just a few of the applications of NLP that we know about:
- The
Metropolitan Police Force has used NLP to help probationer police officers
to have more psychological tools to help them on the beat. It is
excellent in instilling confidence and teaching young officers to maintain
cool composure under stress. Now with CPD accreditation, we are able
to offer that training under the umbrella of CPD accreditation, making it
more recognisable by many more businesses.
- The City
of London Financial Institutions use NLP to maintain morale and focus
during difficult times. The "Big Four" banks have sent
their managers to be trained in NLP.
- Doctors and
health workers find that they are more able to handle patients with more
ease, and that they are able to get "problem" clients to take a
more active role in their own health management.
- Educational
establishments are noticing that the use of well thought through language
patterns and emotional management is massively useful in educational
situations, raising the performance of the kids and making the whole classroom
experience work better.
In a recent survey, we asked you if knowing that our
NLP courses were CPD accredited would encourage you to consider more seriously
enrolling on them. The majority of responders to whom it was applicable
said yes - and what's more, around half of responders the question applied to
say that their organisation recognises CPD as adding value to their role as an
employee. Half of these also said that their employees allowed time off
for CPD courses, - and even budgeted for them.
If you work in an organisation
interested in developing its people, then you might find it is well worth speaking
to your HR department or personnel manager to find out what provision they lay
down for you!
