The skilled NLP Developers often not mentioned...

Many people when first introduced to NLP get to know about Bandler and Grinder, but are not so aware of many equally skilled individuals who have been instrumental in developing the field! When I was in the USA running some workshops, I was fortunate enough to meet a number of longstanding NLPers who have been around since day 1 of the creation of NLP.

At www.nlpmp3.com I have deliberately ensured that the developers of NLP are represented alongside the big names that tend to attract followers! IMO many of these developers like Steve Andreas and David Gordon provide invaluable insights and truly excellent workshops. Lets remember that the co creators of NLP studied a series of different therapists and my advice to students of NLP is to study and learn from a variety of trainers rather than simply "follow" one trainer, no matter how well known!

I have often pointed out the difference between education using NLP and "entertainment" where courses are promoted almost as 18 - 30 holiday packages, rather than a real opportunity to learn with a focus on skill development...
