Interested in Psychology and wish to take up a course that helps you understand the working of human mind? Are you an HR Professional combating with complex issues like Change Management and Organizational Dynamics? Are you a salesperson fighting against the snowballing targets and deadlines? Or, the entrepreneurial stint in you made you start your own company, you have everything under your control- the finances, the operations, the logistics but every time you have to address your own team, you stutter and stammer. And you wish you could feel the pulse of the audience and tailor make your moves accordingly.
Managing people is an art. Human beings are such complex organisms that you need a third eye to decipher them. If you wish to have a third eye, you can go in for the niche Program- Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP.
What is NLP?
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a method of understanding how people achieve success in a wide range of fields such as sport, education, management and therapy. It owes its genesis to the work of Richard Bandler, a computer scientist and Gestalt therapist, and Dr John Grinder, a linguist and therapist in 1974, when they proposed that NLP would provide users with the tools to analyze, incorporate or modify any sequence of behavior they observed in another human being. These NLP tools involve analysis of a person’s internal and external communication (linguistics) and the effects (programming) this has on the way their brain operates (neurology).
NLP hinges on the following principles:
*Enlisting outcomes:
NLP enlists certain outcomes that everyone would like to achieve. The outcome needs to be stated in positive terms. This means that the outcome must be what you want and not what you don’t want to happen.
*Sensory awareness
Once you know your outcome you must next have sufficient sensory acuity to know if you are moving towards it or not. NLP teaches the ability to calibrate or ‘read’ people. This involves the ability to interpret changes in muscle tone, skin color, lower lip size and breathing rate and location. The NLP practitioner uses these to determine what effect they are having on other people. This information serves as feedback as to whether the other person is in the desired state.
*Changing behavior
The next operational principle of NLP is to vary your behavior until you get the response you want.If what you are doing isn’t working, then you need to do something else. You should use your sensory acuity to determine if what you are doing is leading you in the desired direction of not.
*Time for action
The final operational principle of NLP is to take action now. It focuses on the principle of carpe diem that means seize the moment and act now.

Career Compass:
Following are the fields and roles in which NLP can be used:
C Level Positions
The C suite positions of any organization are fuelled from within the organization itself. In such cases, the tactical programmers and managers need to be groomed in leadership and management skills so that they can take on higher positions and manage their own teams.
Technical professionals need to exhibit leadership qualities in their day-to-day interactions, which will form the basis for their future promotions.
You can take up an NLP certification to hone your leadership skills, presentation and meeting skills before you step up the C suite ladder.
HR professionals:
NLP improves understanding in all one-to-one communications, especially interviewing and appraisals. It is an enabling tool of Emotional Intelligence (EQ)and can also be very helpful for stress management and developing self-beliefand assertiveness and confidence. It provides essential tools in many key areas, includingperformance management, change management, multilevel communication, coaching, team building, employee engagement, negotiation, conflict resolution, recruitment, presentation skills and corporate strategy.
Since NLP is more practical in nature, you can build upon your HRM skills by taking The HR diploma.
Image and Brand Building:
Organizations today seek employees that are multi- talented. Prospective candidates have to exhibit characteristics such as technical expertise, leadership skills, initiative and enthusiasm, communication skills, confidence and self-motivation.
Technical professionals of today are provided with a variety of trainings and courses. However, if an individual does not understand the significance of these trainings, it becomes a waste of time, effort and money.
NLP teaches you to manage diversity, build teams, mirror behavior you wish to see thereby creating a brand value for your own self. This is particularly needed in professions that have more of public dealing like politics, film industry business magnets and the like.
Psychotherapy:
NLP is increasingly being used by Psychotherapists and Counselors to treat a broad range of physical and mental conditions and learning difficulties, including epilepsy, myopia and dyslexia. With its promises to cure schizophrenia, depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and its dismissal of psychiatric illnesses as psychosomatic, NLP is gaining ground.
