NLP was initially created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in 1975 who began by developing models based on top communicators of their time. Their goals were to discover why certain people produced excellence and then to create models to allow other people to develop similar behaviours.

Initially they studied the likes of Milton Eriksson, Fritz Perls and Virginia Satir but over the years many others have contributed to the growth of this field.

They began by modelling not only these highly effective therapists but also successful sales executives, negotiators, public speakers, trainers and leaders.

Very soon they had drawn together the very best personal change tools from their early subjects, and they designed the very first public training in NLP.

Today NLP offers a vast array of effective tools and techniques for positive influence and change.
