🎙️Episode Highlight: NLP - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly! 🎧
Welcome to episode 16 of Agents of Everything! In this instalment, we are taking a look at Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) from three different perspectives - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
I’ll admit this episode is something of an introspective look as it necessarily comes from my own ever-evolving relationship with NLP, so I’m sharing personal anecdotes, critiques, and reflections on the NLP’s impact on my life and my experience of the world around me.
