The Milton Model - CPD Workshop
The Milton Model, the language of influence. Based on the original research of the founders of NLP when they modelled Milton Ericson, the famous psychiatrist and psychologist specialising in medical hypnosis and family therapy.
The Milton Model, developed by Milton H. Erickson and later modelled within Neuro-Linguistic Programming, is a powerful framework for using artfully vague language to influence thought, emotion, and behaviour. Rather than being direct and specific, it uses ambiguity, metaphor, and permissive suggestions to engage the unconscious mind and encourage personal meaning-making.
Understanding its practical application offers significant benefits. In coaching, it helps practitioners facilitate deeper reflection without imposing assumptions. In leadership and communication, it enables subtle influence, rapport building, and more persuasive messaging. The model is particularly effective in managing resistance, as it allows individuals to arrive at their own conclusions rather than feeling directed.
By developing skill in the Milton Model, professionals enhance their ability to communicate with flexibility, sensitivity, and impact—supporting more meaningful conversations, behavioural change, and improved interpersonal outcomes across both personal and professional contexts.
