Neurolinguistic Communication Profile
Second Edition

Improve on-the-job communication skills, interpersonal relationships, and productivity with the Neurolinguistic Communication Profile (NCP). Based on the powerful model of Neurolinguistic Programming™, the NCP enables participants to identify their unconscious preferences toward one of three sensory channels used in filtering and communicating information: Auditory, Visual, or Kinesthetic.

By analyzing communication preferences, individuals are able to determine the relative strengths and weaknesses of their own communication styles and therefore develop strategies to increase flexibility and build rapport with others.
 
Learning Outcomes:

• Recognize one’s communication preference – and those of others
• Communicate more effectively with others who have different communication preferences
• Discover how to increase productivity, motivation, and the accurate exchange of information
• Gain flexibility in striving to match another person’s communication style

Theory

One of the premises for Neurolinguistic Programming is that each of us filters our communication and thinking in systematic and learnable ways. Research shows that this filtering process occurs during sensory intake. Each of us has a preference for taking in information, organizing it in our heads, and communicating information to others around us. This preference is based on the habitual and systematic use of our primary sense organs — literally our eyes, ears, and body.

The model for the Neurolinguistic Communication Profile depicts all the ways we can take in, process, and express information to others.

Sample Sequence:

Visual-Serial-Kinesthetic: You pay attention to words, numbers, figures, and other detailed visual images. You organize these images in your head in detail and check off your tasks once they are accomplished.

How It Works

Individuals express their tendencies in communication by responding to an inventory of statements and sets of words. The resulting Neurolinguistic Communication Profile shows an integrated picture of the individual as a communicator, with scores indicating Preferred Sensory Modality, Preferred Thinking Style, and Preferred Mode of Expression. Next, participants learn the importance of the NCP, how to interpret their scores, as well as how to apply their new self-knowledge and action-planning strategies to work situations.

Uses for Neurolinguistic Communication Profile

The Neurolinguistic Communication Profile is effective when used as a stand-alone instrument as well as a component in a larger training program focusing on communication, learning, selling skills, marketing, problem solving, management, coaching, and other topics.
