Thinking About Thinking With NLP
Michael Hall
2026 Conference
For decades we have described NLP as a Communication Model and it is. Yet it is more - much more. More fundamental than communication is thinking and given how that most people have not been taught HOW to think, only WHAT to think, we could uniquely position NLP as a thinking model - Critical thinking (the Meta-Model), Creative thinking (Meta-Programs) and Executive Thinking (Meta-States).
Given the quality of a person's thinking determines one's way of talking, communicating, leading, coaching, doing therapy, leading, parenting, etc., the Quality of Thinking determines the Quality of Life and one's ability to actualize one's best potentials.
