What is Neuro linguistic Programming (NlP) aboutIJ
Harini: As the name suggests, neuro involves neurology, linguistic involves languages. Basically it means that you write a programme and whatever it is supposed to do, gets repeated automatically. So NlP is how you use yourself, your body and language as an instrument to influence important changes in yourself as well as others. It is an approach to change internal beliefs, thought processes and to teach the brain new patterns.
How does this programme model a geniusIJ
Harini: In every field, there are people who are extraordinary. This field begins by identifying the difference that makes the difference. If you ask a genius, he wouldn’t know what makes them extraordinary. There is a concept in NlP called micro muscle mirroring which helps a person pick up the skills of a genius at an unconscious level. If somebody is a good cook and they wish to become an entrepreneur, NlP provides them with the tools to become one.
Can you explain the process of modelingIJ
Antano: The process of modeling is where you are opening up certain senses that were not participatory earlier in gathering information. Once you gather this information and replicate it in your body, your actions and behaviour, then new things begin to unfold.
New awareness and learning creeps in. Modeling doesn’t make you a genius, but it does give you a chance to be a genius by providing more evolved qualities and capabilities in that field. This ultimately helps to give results to your continuous practice towards a certain goal.
The NlP can be used to overcome anxiety and fear related to admissions. How is this different from career counselingIJ
Antano: The difference is programming. In counseling you are taught what to do in a certain situation. In NlP, we do programming. We don’t tell the students what to do next, but we prepare and condition them ahead of time. In a situation, suppose in the exams or an interview, the student doesn’t have to remember what was said- the new behavior, which we will teach, will happen automatically.
What are the various courses that the school of excellence providesIJ
Antano: The programmes range from a 90 minute quick programmes to a six-day full course. NlP Bliss is a one-on-one offering where people meet our team members to experience the NlP change in their lives. We charge Rs8,000 per outcome. They can ask for a refund in case the outcome is not achieved.
The other programme is uPwithNlP wherein, within six days, we help participants experience complete transformation in their career, their health, personal lives, their relationships and so on. We charge Rs1.85 lakh for this. We have a 365-day money back guarantee and allow unlimited revisit for one year (for the second programme). There is a mentoring programme of six months as well, for those who are really interested in bringing about quality change in the world and themselves. The total for this programme is Rs3.8 lakh.
nIs there is enough awareness about NlP in IndiaIJ
Harini: We think there can be more awareness about it. Since we started three years back, much of it has happened through word-of-mouth.
Antano: There is more awareness about us, than the NlP programme. Awareness has dropped probably because of lack of quality in the deliverance of the technique. We have a magazine that gives quality information about NlP, this magazine has no advertisement but we distribute free copies so I believe that we have contributed to the awareness that has been created now.
