NLP IN CLASSROOM

SIX PILLARS OF NLP

BY:
WAJID HUSSAIN
Among the many things that NLP enables us to do are to:
• Build high quality personal relationships with those whom we come
into contact with in our everyday living. Having a close rapport with
children, parents, management and ourselves will prove mutually
advantageous;
• Exercise control over our emotions so that we can effectively manage
our thoughts and feelings. Controlling the way we feel raises our
confidence level in whatever we attempt to do, and reinforce the
tendency to perform at our best at all times;
• Introduce greater flexibility which leads to increased choices and more
influence over events in our life, and creative ways to solve problems;
• Develop effective ways to communicate taking into account our
sensitivity to ourselves and others, and increase our persuasive skills;
• Set desired outcomes for ourselves and for our business, and
maximize our chances of achieving them.
 Introduction to NLP

• NLP started in the early 1970’s in Santa Cruz, California, when Richard
Bandler, a 20-year-old psychology student at U.C. Santa Cruz, met and became
friends with Dr. John Grinder, who was in his late 20’s and an associate
professor of linguistics at the college.
• Bandler modelled the methods used by Virgina Satir (1916-1988), American
author, social worker, and internationally esteemed family therapist; co-founder
of the Mental Research Institute (MRI) in Palo Alto, California.
• They studied the work of the famous medical hypnotist Milton Erickson (1901–
1980).
• Bandler and Grinder were captivated by Milton Erickson’s techniques , and
incorporated Erickson’s manner of conversational hypnosis into the NLP.

 Rapport Exercise
Secrets in a Basket
Conditions: Appropriate for big and small groups, all ages. Participants need to
be able to write. You will need enough time to go through everyone’s
contributions.
Procedure: Ask participants to write something unusual about themselves on a
slip of paper. Warn them that the content will be made public! Place all papers in
a basket. Whenever you need a break, an energizer, during class, randomly draw
two or three slips from the basket, read the contents to the class, and ask
students to guess who it belongs to. If the person identified is not the author,
(s)he stands up. Continue until the class finds the true author who is invited to
 then briefly explain what he wrote on the slip of paper.

Tip: Use opportunities to help student reflect on the content and ask questions
to the authors; point out interesting links to aspects that you find useful for
building rapport in the group. Go through the basket until it’s empty; no one

 •Sensory Acuity Exercise
Count every ” F” in the following text:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT
OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY
COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS…
(SEE BELOW)
HOW MANY ?
WRONG, THERE ARE 6 — no joke.
READ IT AGAIN !
Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F’s before you scroll down.
The reasoning behind is further down.
The brain cannot process “OF”.
Anyone who counts all 6 “F’s” on the first go is a genius.
Three is normal, four is quite rare.
This blog post proves we all have some way to go to improve our sensory acuity to a level of mastery or ‘genius’…
So we might as well have some fun along the way!
