Diversity in NLP

When I set up www.nlpmp3.com it would have been easy to have simply interviewed the Society of NLP trainers and personalities I already knew. Instead I decided to gather together a much wider range of views from different schools of NLP, so the site has become unique in what it offers.

I am not a fan of the territorial style of NLP where people are thrown off newsgroups for simply having a different view or where people value the personality of the trainer above real learning. Many of the most skilled individuals I have interviewed do not have grand titles and don't even formally teach NLP, but rather use the skills to really help others. The recent additions to the site are a great example of this. These days I would much rather spend aelle day with Richard Gray than someone teaching their take on NLP, as there is no substitute for real experience!

Bandler and Grinder modelled a wide range of therapists, who were highly effective, but worked in different ways. The NLPmp3 site reflects this kind of diversity and many of the NLP trainers would probably not agree even on what NLP is, but crucially te public can have access to free unedited information and make their own minds up. Others have attempted to imitate NLPmp3, but none have produced such a diversity and I am grateful for all those thousands who continue to support this facility!
