Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is now part of the repertoire of most business trainers. Business Applications of NLP builds on Roy Johnson's original 40 Activities for Training with NLP and, with co-author John Easton, provides a companion volume that focuses on key factors in organizational performance such as decision making, influencing, leadership, managing conflict, meetings, motivation, and team building. As with 40 Activities, each activity is presented in a standard sequence incorporating objectives, timing, group size, relevant applications and resources required. There is a step-by-step guide for the trainer, supported by review questions and ready-to-copy masters for all handouts and OHP transparencies. Although each activity is self-contained, the authors suggest ways of linking them to related activities, and at the end of the manual they provide model programmes for ten different courses of varying lengths. Anyone involved in business training, or the use of NLP in business, whether as in-house trainer or independent consultant/provider, will find Business Applications of NLP a rich storehouse of ideas and materials.
