STRATEGIC THINKING SAVES NLP

In spite of all the problems in the world of NLP (which actually are many), NLP has thrived nonetheless. Amazing! Why? What has enabled this problematic field to continue in spite of its divisions, squabbles, and misuse?

One considerable factor in my opinion is due to the fact that because every behavior has a structure and therefore, using NLP, we can specific that strategy for any and every experience.

Now if there’s a strategy within and behind every experience, then in service of human progress, it’s simply a matter of finding those strategies. So, how do we do that? The shallow and superficial approach is simply to ask a person, “How do you do X- experience?” Why is this superficial? Simple. The great majority of people do not know. Yes, they have ideas. They have suspicions and hypotheses, they may have a set of beliefs that they are ready to present to you. But for the most part, people do not know.
