Welcome to the First Issue!

We’re delighted that you’re here and ready to open a new chapter with us. World of NLP is more than just a magazine – it’s a platform that connects people around the world. It is an invitation to grow, evolve, and discover new perspectives.

“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world,” once said the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. NLP helps us shift these boundaries and build bridges. It shows us how words can change not only conversations, but entire life paths. Our language shapes our reality – and it is here that our shared journey begins.

My own journey with NLP began over 30 years ago as an unhappy teenager who couldn’t find meaning in life. At my lowest point, when I was ready to give up, NLP appeared in my life like a shining star in a dark night and showed me the way. Already during my psychology studies, I became self-employed as a young NLP trainer and published my first book. This was followed by three decades during which I conducted more than 5,000 NLP seminar days with over one hundred thousand participants. I founded several NLP training companies in various countries and spread NLP with a team of 50 trainers. I launched an NLP book publishing company and became President of the International Association of NLP Institutes for Germany. And through all of this, my passion for NLP remains – stronger than ever before.

The world is diverse, and the application of NLP knows no bounds. People from different cultures and walks of life use NLP in various ways to improve their communication, achieve their goals, and create change in their lives. We want to make this diversity visible and give you the opportunity to learn from experiences around the globe. That’s why the World of NLP magazine will be published in at least seven languages.

This magazine will not only include articles by leading NLP trainers from all over the world, but will also serve as a learning and training magazine for both beginners and advanced users, as well as for practitioners, coaches, and trainers. Whether you’re just beginning to explore the world of NLP or are already deeply immersed in it – here you will find content that inspires and propels you forward.

In every issue you will find contributions from people who apply NLP in a wide range of contexts: in personal development, in coaching, in business, in schools, and even in self-management. You will discover how NLP can help with weight loss, overcoming fears, strengthening relationships, and unlocking potential. We discuss the history of NLP, the people behind it, its present, and its future evolution. It’s about science, therapy, business, sports, spirituality, partnerships, working with children, and much more. Every article is an invitation to discover something new and integrate what you’ve learned directly into your own life.

World of NLP is intended not only to impart knowledge but also to serve as a platform for exchange and dialogue. Throughout this journey, we will continually invite you to become a part of this community. Tell us about your experiences with NLP, ask questions, share your ideas – because change always starts with a first impulse. Perhaps that impulse is exactly what you find in this issue.

Let’s explore the world of NLP together. A language of change. A world of possibilities.

Enjoy reading and discovering! We look forward to your feedback!

Warm regards,
your Stephan Landsiedel
