I’m surprised – in my organization alone, I have at least 8 people who are licensed trainers of NLP, but it seems I’m the most active developing NLP. This, however, is a good sign. I’ve always been wondering what NLP Practitioners have been doing with their skills. Since I began certifying good NLP Practitioners, they have gone out to set up their own coaching practice, with good effect.
I believe that in order for someone to be a good NLP practitioner, they must move away from being theoretical to being practical. A lot of the people in Singapore, in particular, want to see a practical use for NLP rather than learning a bunch of “interesting things”.
As a practical measure, NLP should be studied to improve the quality of applications out there in the world. For instance, one could apply NLP in the area of leadership, but no one with the right measure of experience in NLP and leadership has been able to come up with effective models of leadership until now.
(yeah, I’ll reveal some of it for your personal benefit in due time, but I can’t do too much because it’s in development)
There are many other applications especially in the areas that require human communication.
So, if you have a passion for people and helping others, you might well want to develop your NLP skills to create a higher level of skill for that specific purpose.

Why don’t you suggest to others to join the NLP Association in Singapore so they can practice the skills they have learned. The NLP Association has practice session twice a month and have members from all different schools of NLP thereby giving a diverse approach to each practice. Come join us!
Hi Lindley,
This is because I don’t believe that people are generally well exposed or trained. Even if you are well trained, it will require quite a bit of effort for anyone to supervise such trained practitioners. I also believe that NLP alone is not sufficient to understand and learn about the vast field. It will take quite a bit of convincing for me to see, hear or feel that an individual is effective enough to lead a practice group without supervision, as many people I have seen who teach NLP mix up concepts, have a poor understanding of NLP, and don’t really teach it the way it is required by Dr. Richard Bandler.
