NLP Toolkit

An excellent and easy too use resource for anyone interested in the practical application of NLP

The practice of NLP contains a wide and growing library of tools and techniques and a clearly written and well laid out guide to these is invaluable. The NLP Toolkit provides this with its organisation into five main sections: In the Classroom activities; Emotional and social literacy with children; Stagecraft and presentation skills for teachers and trainers; Personal development and effectiveness for teachers; Leading with NLP.

The book is laid out in A4 format with good use of white space which makes it easier to scan read and digest. Photocopiable resource sheets and templates are included throughout.

Navigating the content is simplified using a cross reference table within the table of contents listing. In the top corner of the first page of each chapter there is an information table that shows the chapter’s focus and its content.

The inclusion of a bibliography of papers and research on education perspectives, for and against the use of NLP, helps to provide further understanding of the arguments.

Although its title is The NLP Toolkit for Teachers, Trainers and School Leaders, it would also be useful in NLP client work, life coaching or business training. This is a practical book that requires no knowledge of NLP to use, although it does require a mind open enough to accept the concepts within it, for example ‘anchoring by physical location’.

I will be using this book to support development of my own NLP practice and recommend it to any business consultant working in my own area of organisational change.
