NLP as a tool is highly useful in many walks of life, not just sales, therapy or training. I’ll give you some personal examples:

- Meetings with potential business partners
I have learned enough NLP to watch for body language, listen to the language the person I am meeting uses, and to build rapport successfully.

- Creative Writing
I write fiction for personal satisfaction (some published) and find that I think more about the senses when writing. Are my readers going to respond to gustatory, visual, auditory, kinaesthetic or olfactory descriptions? I remember to include each style as appropriate or, for particular effect, use one very strongly.

- Networking
Using the NLP techniques helps me to ease into social situations more quickly.

If you would like a really easy introduction to NLP, there’s a dandy CD called The NLP Secret. There are some great books too, from the simple introductory pocketbook The NLP Pocketbook, through to a whole host of advanced books focusing on different aspects of NLP.

There are also many training companies out there offering NLP training and you can become a Master Practitioner for something in the region of between £1000-£2000.

If you do a search on NLP on the Google you can find many instances of misuse of NLP as well as the positive outcomes. If you are interested in NLP, try something like The NLP Pocketbook or The NLP Secret to get a taster. If you like it, then research the training or reading materials available and take action. Taking action is the only way to make anything work for you – whether its learning NLP, hypnosis, EFT or even a new sales technique. Take action!
