Understanding NPL basics

NPL comes from one simple question its creators dared to ask. If we have two people learning the same things, why does one succeeds and the other doesn’t? Being the Western world based on this idea of equality, access to the same things, that is an extremely important subject to study.

It analyzes the strategies used for those who were successful in reaching one goal and relates the thoughts, language, and behavior involved in that experience. The idea, and what its creators did was to build models and learn from there. Bandler and Grinder offered training based on the models they created.

The outcome of the training was that other people could use the same mechanisms and processes of those who were considered successful in the first place.

NPL Modelling
