Introduction to NLP: Neuro Linguistic Programming

If you’ve heard of NLP but never had a simple, no-nonsense way in, this course is your launchpad.

NLP is a fascinating subject. If you are in the world of work for long enough, you're bound to have heard of it. And now you want to know more about what it is.

Well, you've come to the right place. This short course will introduce you to all of the major concepts and more. Introduction to NLP: Neuro Linguistic Programming turns big ideas into usable tools you can apply the same day: at work, in conversations, and in your own self-management.

Across short, focused lessons, you’ll unpack how language, perception, and patterns shape our behaviour.

You’ll explore the core presuppositions of NLP, the logical levels of change, and the filters that colour how we interpret the world. Then you’ll learn hands-on skills: building genuine rapport, asking precision questions with the Meta Model, and setting well-formed outcomes that actually get done.

You’ll also meet the Milton Model, reframing, perceptual positions, and timeline thinking. All of these are approaches that help you see problems differently and unlock new options.

This is a practical, ethical introduction designed for curious professionals, coaches, leaders, and learners who want better conversations, clearer goals, and smarter strategies for change. No hype, no mystical claims—just structured frameworks, memorable examples, and simple exercises.

You’ll learn to:

• Build rapport: read cues, match, and lead naturally

• Ask better questions: use the Meta Model to clarify and challenge

• Set outcomes: define goals that pass the well-formed test

• Reframe problems: shift perspective to reveal new choices

• Use perceptual positions: examine situations from multiple angles

• Work with timelines: organise past learning and future plans

• Model excellence: capture what works and replicate it

By the end, you’ll recognise unhelpful patterns faster, communicate with more precision, and design changes that stick. If you want a practical toolkit for thinking, influencing, and getting results, this course gives you the essentials—clearly explained and ready to use.
