I

n this chapter, we introduce you to a favourite model in NLP, one that

shows you how to make sense of your experience, work out the most flex-

ible approach, and achieve the NLP ideal of understanding the outcome that

you want. NLP developer and trainer Robert Dilts developed this model –

known as the logical levels – and it has become extremely popular in NLP

work.

This model is particularly helpful in several ways:

✓ Understanding what makes you tick as an individual.

✓ Comprehending how other people and organisations function.

✓ Seeing how to break an experience into manageable parts.

✓ Working with your current reality and making adjustments confidently.

The logical levels model can help you navigate a route forward during confus-

ing times by identifying any areas of your life that aren’t aligned.

Understanding Logical Levels

NLP logical levels allow you to think about any experience or situation in its

component parts (check out Figure 11-1). (You may also see logical levels

referred to in the NLP literature as a series of neurological levels.)
