Most people treat NLP like a toolbox, pulling out techniques only when needed.
Real change happens when NLP becomes who you are, shaping every conversation, decision, and state you bring into the world.
Living NLP means embodying its presuppositions until influence, clarity, and flexibility show up naturally—even in the high-stakes moments.
In NLP, the word “try” carries hidden presuppositions that sabotage commitment.

It’s about your language. Not the formal kind. Not what you say in team meetings or in well-crafted emails. I’m talking about micro-patterns. The reflexive phrases. The way you describe your day, your stress, your needs (or lack thereof). The way you

We all run our lives based on internal maps—mental models of how things work. Some maps are solid. Others? Outdated, inaccurate, or based on assumptions we haven’t checked in years. The problem isn’t just that our maps are incomplete—it’s that we don’t realize it. That gap between perception and reality? It’s where people get blindsided. When Familiarity Becomes a Blind Spot Ever driven a familiar route and missed a stop sign? Not because you weren’t
Jeb Arcement taught science at a junior high school in Louisiana. The students at Jeb’s school were so tough that, in some years, the school lost a third of its teachers. Some new teachers didn’t even make it to Christmas.
