Neuro-linguistic programming

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is an in-depth study and an amazing revelation of how we communicate with ourselves and other people. The field of NLP was developed by linguist John Grinder and mathematician and information scientist Richard Bandler at the University of California in the 1970’s. Essentially, NLP offers a process called modelling for “transferring genius from one person to another”. Today it is used widely in almost every sphere of human activity to learn how to observe and apply the strategies used by successful people to achieve their own goals.

In the 1980s, John Grinder overhauled, refined and re-coded NLP to improve its learnability and longer-term effectiveness. He termed this the New Code, and continues with Carmen Bostic St Clair to develop and update it. Advanced NLP encompasses this and other NLP modalities developed and included by the ICAN Alliance.

The Bitner Phillips Partnership uses New Code and Advanced NLP as a central framework for our approach to training Coaches. Bill Phillips has worked alongside NLP co-founder John Grinder, Carmen Bostic St Clair and Michael Carroll for more than a decade supporting the developing and certifying of Trainers in NLP, while independently he has used NLP to coach hundreds of individuals and teams in 20 different countries throughout the world.

Your facilitation of your Future-Basing® process was interesting and motivating, and the workshop was excellent. All together, it was a grand way to start the process of creating a unified road-map for hydrogen technologies in the UK, and to find common ground for a coordinated large-scale project with multi-regional collaboration.

Future-Basing

Future-basing was created by Bill Phillips in 1988 and he and others have since used the unique model to create compelling, shared visions and ignite action in more than 20 countries across the globe.

The Future-basing framework provides a a powerful, structured model for visioning and ambition building.

Bill’s model was used by the International Red Cross movement to broker the milestone Seville Agreement in 1997, while the roadmap for UK Hydrogen Association’s Hydrogen Vehicle Fuelling Infrastructure in 2012 was also achieved using Future-basing. It has incredibly useful applications in the workplace and can be used for a variety of purposes including:

  • developing high performance teams
  • handling difficult meetings
  • mapping project planning
  • achieving conflict resolution based on mutual acknowledgement and respect
  • developing protocols and procedures around project planning and leadership
  • visioning and planning for business
  • accelerating negotiations through shared ideal outcomes
  • the development of Partnership Agreements
  • authentic stakeholder engagement in change management
  • designing systems and procedures that support the imagined outcome

The model is simple:

CHOOSE a date in the future by which time you want success

VISUALISE what you really want as if it is already achieved

PLAN backwards the steps that must have made it happen

ACHIEVE spectacular outcomes
