In the early 1970s John Grinder and Richard Bandler, based at the University of California, leveraged a diverse range of fields (including General Semantics, Transformational Grammar, Ericksonian Hypnosis, Systems Theory and several others) to create a powerful synthesis they called Neuro Linguistic Programming; or NLP for short.
Using the results of their research they went on to experiment with Behavioral Modelling and developed new understandings about human communication, learning and behavioral competence.
And it was from this work that NLP grew to offer a set of models, skills and techniques for thinking and inter-acting effectively in the world such that individuals can change, adopt or eliminate behaviors in both themselves and others.
The magazine Science Digest reported:
“NLP could be the most important synthesis of knowledge about human communication to emerge since the explosion of humanistic psychology … it may be the ultimate behavioral engineering tool.”
Since the groundbreaking work of Grinder and Bandler other researchers have taken the subject to new levels and have, in particular, developed a scientific understanding of the neurological interactions that NLP enables such that an individual can quickly internalize new thinking, beliefs and behaviors that facilitate greater personal achievement.
And as a foundation to achieving greater success in personal and professional life NLP has yet to be superseded and is extensively used (although often not labelled as NLP) to improve performance of athletes, companies, sales teams, education and training businesses, government agencies and more.

What does NLP do for you ... ?
NLP changes the way of thinking and, as a result, gives birth to a structure of thoughts, behaviour and communication that allows you to consistently achieve your desired results in life and work. Some more specific outcomes of NLP are:
- Accelerates learning and focus on your particular interests
- Helps you set compelling goals that motivate you
- Creates trusted relationships with others that support you
- Delivers a new level of awareness that changes the way of perceiving the world and its people
- Turns you into a more flexible person who can manage a wider range of challenges
- Increases your ability to create agreements and settle differences
- Manages your thinking to give greater control over emotions
- Connects to the inner naturalness of your unconscious feelings and intuitions
What's the background to mBIT?
mBIT means Multiple Brain Integration Techniques and comes from the field of mBraining.
mBraining itself is the name given to the recent Neuroscience findings that have shown that we have complex adaptive and functional neural networks - or "brains" - in our heart and gut.
Called the cardiac and enteric nervous systems respectively, these adaptive neural networks have sophisticated levels of memory and the ability to intelligently process feelings that are communicated to the head brain and influence our decision making and behavior.
By combining these Neuroscience findings with behavioural modelling research, a number of key insights have emerged that have profound implications for training, coaching and leadership.
For example coaches often find clients who suffer from conflict between their thoughts, feelings and actions and as a result experience difficulty in making decisions and don’t really know why.
You have probably also experienced situations where logically it is obvious that you should buy this house or start this relationship or take this job ... and yet there is a feeling deep inside that goes against that decision and tells you "don't do this, it isn't you, it's not right etc". These are "feltsense" messages that come from your other intelligence centers (heart and gut) and they are able to do a great job for you if you listen and evaluate them!
So mBIT Coaching is a way to create in an individual full alignment between the three intelligence centers and uncover the power and innate wisdom residing within their multiple brains. The results are impressive and when coherently aligned, the head, heart and gut produce an incredible emergent wisdom that allows a person to deeply tap into intuitions and competencies that are simply not available from the head brain alone.
This is what you experience with mBIT Coaching (multiple Brain Integration Technique Coaching) and mBIT is applicable regardless of the coaching methodology being used by a particular coach. Equally mBIT has important value for other professionals who in education or therapy are working to move others to a new and higher level.

What does mBIT do for you ... ?
If you are already a professional Coach then mBIT will add both to your skill set and your curriculum.
Regardless of the methodology you use as a Coach you will find the integration techniques inherent in mBIT will clear blockages that before were impossible to shift.
In addition mBIT is recognised by the ICF as an option within their continuous learning program and attending this course may allow you to apply for continuous learning credits.
If you work in any other discipline that supports other people, such as education, sport, health and wellness etc, then again you will gain an understanding and a set of tools that will help achieve desired results even in the most difficult of cases.
And if your interest is more focused on your own journey - your own personal development - then you will discover in mBIT a way of creating inner balance. A balance that allows your natural intuitive functions to speak and work together so you can:

- Trust your gut instincts, be true to who you are, and have the courage to take new paths
- Be true to your heart and live more compassionately in your connection with others
- Identify patterns of thinking that give meaning to who you are and leverage them towards a brighter future
