Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is the study of how people think, communicate, and create change.

Artificial intelligence is now drafting emails, summarising meetings and even running chatbot “coaching” sessions across Australian workplaces.

As artificial intelligence automates routine cognitive tasks across Australian workplaces, the human skills that technology cannot replicate, such as rapport building, emotional intelligence, reframing, and precision communication, are becoming the most sought after capabilities in the workforce. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) provides a structured, learnable framework for developing exactly these skills. This article explores why NLP […]
