Are There Ethical Considerations In Using Nlp

The more we practice NLP skills the more able we are to influence people. I'm going to suggest that that gives us a responsibility to use our skills to lead both ourselves and those that we interact with in a useful direction, and to be aware of the impact we may have.

The definition of what is a useful direction is of course a very personal decision, and it's worth investing our time in advance to ensure we are congruent with the stance we take.

It is also worth remembering that we've all learnt at some level to be aware when someone is trying to manipulate us in a way that isn't aligned with our beliefs and values - and normally we resist it strongly.

Anyone who uses these skills in way that isn't ethical is likely to get the full force of that resistance. Conversely, If we use these skills to help people achieve what's important to them we are likely to get their genuine thanks.
