Neuro Linguistic Programming And Its Creator John Grinder

John Grinder served as a captain in the US Army Special Forces, then later for the US Intelligence agency. Before this, in the late 1960's, he graduated with a degree in psychology from the University of San Francisco and a PhD from the University of California in San Diego in Linguistics in the early 1970's. He went on to co-found Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) with Dr. Richard Bandler.

John was appointed to the position of linguistics professor at the newly founded University of California in Santa Cruz. He is distinguished in the linguistics field, especially int he area of syntax. John has published many works including On Deletion Phenomena in English (1972) and Guide to Transformational Grammar (1973) along with other books and articles.

John later became involved in some therapy sessions with Richard Bandler, a psychology student at the time. It was here that he became enthralled with the ways that therapists use linguistic patterns to effect results with their patients. John Grinder and Richard Bandler later went on to co-found Neuro Linguistic Programming.

John and Richard studied the language patterns used effectively by therapists such as Virginia Satir, Milton H. Erickson and Fritz Perls. These patterns along with transformational grammar became the basis for the pairs own model known as Neuro Linguistic Programming.

The Neuro Linguist Programming model was developed even further using books published by these same therapists and later became the foundation of NLP. Grinder has also co-written many other books on NLP and its practical applications and theory.

The self confidence gained by practitioners of NLP has enabled many to become more successful in both their personal and professional lives. Many people have trouble believing just how radically their lives have been changed for the better after using the principals of Neuro Linguistic Programming. The changes are often even visible to co-workers and family members who are unaware of your learning NLP techniques.

The unique techniques created by John Grinder and Richard Bandler will help you use your mind to achieve more positive results. They will also help you achieve results by gaging the personality of those around you. This in turn, couple with the coordination of your own thoughts, feelings and behavior, will help you achieve your goals.

Once your words and actions are aligned, you will find your message is far easier to convey to your audience, and will be much closer to the message you intend to get across.
