NLP is a model of how humans think, feel, behave and communicate. When NLP was developed in the 1970′s by Bandler and Grinder it was a radical departure from the field of psychology, which at the time was focused more on human dysfunction than peak performance.

Learning NLP can improve the performance of athletes, sales people, business people, coaches, trainers, teachers, therapists and parents.

Self leadership is the modern version of Socrates command to “Know thyself”. Self leadership is Neo taking the red pill and exercising choice rather than being controlled by the matrix.
I have defined Self leadership as having a developed sense of who you are, what you can do, where you are going coupled with the ability to manage your communication, emotions and behaviour on the way to getting there. Another definitions is, “the process by which you influence yourself to achieve your objectives.”
Self leadership equates to the leadership competencies of Self Observation and Self Management but most importantly Self-leadership impacts all aspect of your life, your health, your career and your relationships.
