NLP Standards - The International Board

Setting and maintaining measurable NLP standards.

Practitioner Standards









Core Skills :

Rapport :  the ability to get into rapport with clients ;
Sensory acuity :  the ability to identify small differences in physiology ;
Outcome setting :  the ability to set well formed outcomes with ‘client’ ;
Outcome achieved :  …
Flexibility :  the ability to change the ‘scripts’ to fit the ‘client’.

Are these the right five? Or should there be four or six?
