Strategy

A specific sequence of internal and external representations that leads to a particular outcome. In NLP, strategies are the mental programs that govern how we do anything — how we motivate ourselves, make decisions, fall in love, feel creative, or experience fear. Strategies are made up of a sequence of representational system steps (V, A, K, O, G, Ad) and can be elicited, modeled, installed, and changed. The TOTE model (Test-Operate-Test-Exit) provides the structural framework for understanding strategies.
