NLP Podcast 28: The Dilts Pyramid

This podcast discusses a simple and elegant model for describing personal change – the Dilts Pyramid. The model comes from Robert Dilts, one of the most well-known NLP developers who was significantly involved in the further development of NLP.

The Dilts Pyramid provides information about where the best point in life for change work is located. The focus is on not getting caught up in details, but rather learning to think holistically. If a change occurs at one of the levels, it also brings about changes at other levels.

Application of the Dilts Pyramid

Robert Dilts designed the individual levels of the Dilts Pyramid model in the mid-1980s. His underlying thought was to develop a tool that helps people better understand themselves and their environment. The can help you figure out which level you are currently at and which level you should best enter to successfully make changes. With the help of the Dilts Pyramid, you can develop yourself in many ways.

In this podcast episode, Stephan Landsiedel explains the levels of the Dilts Pyramid step by step – you can find the individual levels in the upper illustration.
