ABSTRACT

NLP had its origin in modelling well-known therapists who demonstrated remarkable communication skills. Using NLP, you can identify many of these skills, use them in various ways, and teach them to others. Through practical modelling, therefore, we can all share the benefits of skills possessed by the sort of people we can usually only admire or envy. Better still, you can understand the structures and processes at work, to do some modelling of your own. We have already dealt with strategies, upon which we base modelling. Modelling addresses the question ‘How to do it?’, as opposed to the question ‘What to do?’ This chapter adds some special criteria, and further background to this more extensive topic of modelling.
