Pagina 1 van 2 Dr. Richard Bandler talks of NLP, Education and his hopes for the future
Een interview met Dr. Richard Bandler, grondlegger van NLP - Neuro
Linguistic Programming™, ontwikkelaar van DHE - Design Human
Engineering™ en NHR - Neuro Hypnotic Repatterning™.
Kate: It is more than thirty years since you began creating Neuro
Linguistic Programming with John Grinder. What are you most proud of
out of all your many achievement?
I am most proud of my children. However, in Neuro Linguistic
Programming I would say of all the work I have done, the work with
Design Human Engineering is probably the most elegant and has been able
to solve some of the toughest problems. Also I am most proud of the
work I have done with clients, because until I came along most people
never fixed a single client. If they did it was rare and now and then.
My batting average is close to 100%. I have had people who have lost
their sense of smell to schizophrenic, depressives and compulsives,
people with a whole range of problems, and I have been very tenacious
about making sure I found solutions for all these people. I think that
is worth being proud of.
Kate: I think you once said that NLP skills are what are left behind once you have applied the attitudes and behaviours of NLP. Can you say a little more about this for people practising NLP?
 Richard Bandler anno 2007
Archaeology used to take centuries but now its something that goes on in a lifetime. Because if you look at the development of computer technology in my lifetime, when I first started they would fill a 4 storey building. When IBM VAC came out it was such an innovation and now you can put that in your pocket. Everything keeps evolving at light speed. So what took centuries to do now occurs in a matter of 10 years. I think most fields need to think about how important it is to think about knowledge that way.
Kate: My interest is in applying NLP to teaching and learning. How can teachers do more to teach better?
Our greatest asset for the future is our children. We are not investing in our greatest asset. We need to pay our teachers better, train them in learning strategies, and reward them for success. After all knowledge is developing at an accelerating rate, to the point where people have to be able to learn as fast as they can. Do you have trouble with your home computer? Teachers need to teach children to learn things quickly, because by the time you start to get a handle on this computer its going to be antiquated. We have to get people into the right state of learning only what works and not worrying about mistakes because there is no time.
The field of education has moved really slowly and they need to move much faster because knowledge has moved much faster. We have to emphasise that we have to be able to teach people very rapidly. I don't look at people as being broken but as being uneducated. I don't spend my time trying to figure out what caused a problem but how to educate them so they can go beyond it.
If I worried about the mistakes I made! What you have to worry about is what works. If something doesn't work it will keep not working for centuries, that's the thing! And defending it over an ideology is absolutely ludicrous. That is why the field of psychology was so stuck, it spent all of its time arguing over who had the right approach when none of them were successful. They were more interested in their theories than they were in the applications of those theories. I have always been more interested in the quality of life and well being of the end user that consumes my services. It's the same thing with my students; I have been more concerned with how quickly they can learn than whether they got this particular thing right.
I figure you are always going to be up against a new situation. Every person is somewhat different than every other person. Every situation is somewhat different from every other situation. And it is the ability to adapt to the situation that makes you successful at something. It's what has distinguished students who work with me for a long time from other people. They realise that I don't do things the same way twice so there is no reason why they should.
