JOHN'S HOT TIPS!! was not the list or site I expected to find. I thought this would be another marketing site, but instead it's for people interested in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). I guess the name "John's NPL List" would not have been quite as catchy. In any event, JHT is produced by a fellow named John La Valle out of the NLP Seminars Group International of Hopatcong, N. J.
The homepage for the Web site introduces itself this way:
"NLPª Seminars Group International is a full service Consulting, NLP Training & Development organization. Formerly known as The NLPª Center of New Jersey, we have been in the training & development field for over twenty years. Our training programs are approved by The Society of Neuro-Linguistic Programmingª (NLP) and include Design Human Engineeringª*.
"We use Pure NLPª.
"We maintain a network of NLP Trainers & Consultants around the world who specialize in their own areas of expertise, as well as with other NLPª Institutes. One of our featured trainers is Dr. Richard Bandler, co-developer of Neuro-Linguistic Programmingª (NLP) and creator of Design Human Engineeringª* (DHE).
"We also conduct public NLP seminars which include NLP Practitioner, NLP Meta Master Practitionerª, Design Human Engineeringª* (DHE), Persuasion Engineeringª, Trainer Training & Public Speaking, and many others..."
All well and good. This was the second time I'd run into this NLP stuff in a newsletter in only three days. I still didn't know what it was, so I was hoping that would be one of the Hot Tips John would have to offer me. Sure enough, I found this:
"What is Neuro-Linguistic Programmingª?
"Neuro-Linguistic Programmingª (NLPª) is defined as the study of the structure of subjective experience and what can be calculated from that and is predicated upon the belief that all behaviour has structure. People such as Virginia Satir, Milton Erickson and Fritz Perls had amazing results with their clients. They were some of the people who's linguistic and behavioural patterns Richard Bandler built formal models of. He then applied these models to his work.
"Because these models are formal they also allow for prediction and calculation. Patterns that may not have been available in any of these people's work could be calculated from the formal representations he had created. New techniques and models were (and still are being) developed...."
I won't belabor this by quoting further here. You can check this out and read the entire page yourself.
I'll just say this: I read the entire page. I read it three times. Do I now know what NPL is?
No.
