Combining “thinking about
thinking” with technology
I am often asked “Is NLP still relevant?” and my answer is a
resounding “Yes!” We need to learn how to use new
technology in ways that are creative and different. If you do
what you always did, you get what you always got. And it is the
combination of “thinking about thinking” and technology that
will set the new breed of leaders and entrepreneurs apart
from the rest.
There is nothing else in the world of human development
and learning as powerful as NLP. Emotional intelligence,
spiritual intelligence, visualization, and various other new
concepts in human resource development are mere
derivatives of the NLP process.
“The only route to understanding would have to come through
creating a practical working model in your mind that could be
used to rise above the detail ... Every successful entrepreneur
I’ve ever known has worked this way ... From this high level
view of the world, they create simple, rule of thumb formulae
that can be used as the basis for decision making.”
Peter Small, The Entrepreneurial Web
There is so much to learn in both technology and personal
development that it is impossible for anyone to learn
everything. It is our ability to manage our thinking, our
conflicts, and our experience that will ultimately make the
difference between those of us who will lead the way into an
increasingly new, exciting, creative, and cooperative future,
and those who will rapidly fall by the wayside as they attempt
to follow. This is what we can learn with NLP.
Success comes from within. Our success depends on our
ability to be excellent in everything we think, say, and do. NLP
provides us with a way to achieve this.

your own you will begin to excel more and more at what you
