The Permanent Evolution Process (development process) of NLP;

... is one of the ECNLP`s goals! NLP aims to continue to be the central platform for the most efficient tools for intra- and interpersonal communication. That is why NLP – corresponding to its initial spirit – shall remain open for integration of excellent enhancements and new developments originating from within NLP as well as from other schools for communication and personality development.

Therefore, the ECNLP-standards define all methods and techniques listed below by its original sense and outcome and not by the structure, the detailed content or by specific theories.

  • demonstrate behavioral flexibility, resource-orientation and ecological interventions.

Apart from that, they have the following knowledge and skills:

  • Anchoring Techniques (contextualized in the field of applications)
  • Calibration (sensory perception)
