NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. It is a form of coaching and therapy that focuses on the connection between the neurological processes (neuro-), language (linguistic), and behavioral patterns (programming) learned through experience. It can be used to improve communication skills, achieve personal goals, and change undesirable patterns of behavior.
