had the following question in reference to the powerful communications and influencing skills offered by NLP. NLP isn that just a way of manipulating people?
Good question, J.E. Here’s something to consider. The bottom line is, all communication is manipulation. It’s about getting others to accept our suggestions, follow our instructions, respond to our requests or consider our ideas. And NLP offers some very powerful tools. Just like other tools, a screw driver or hammer for instance, they can be used to build and create and to take things apart. It all depends on your intention as you use the tool. If your intention is helping people become the best they can be, and communicating in a way that achieves mutually desirable and beneficial outcomes, others will know it and appreciate your skill.
