How NLP Coaching Can Help You Achieve Your Dreams!
What is coaching and nlp coaching?
Coaching is a partnership where the coach helps the client reach a higher level of performance, learning or satisfaction. Coaching concentrates primarily on the present and future and uses information from the client's past to clarify where the client is today. Professional coaches provide an ongoing partnership designed to help clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives and help people improve their performances and enhance the quality of their lives.
Coaches are trained to listen, to observe and to customize their approach to individual client needs. They build rapport with someone and help them find their own solutions and strategies to move forward; they believe the client is naturally creative and resourceful. The coach's job is to provide support to enhance the skills, resources, and creativity that the client already has.
NLP is founded on the idea that we all create and maintain our own unique version of the world based on our life experiences. This version of the world (called in nlp our map of the world) is impacted by our filters (e.g. beliefs, values, memories and much more). and affects how we decide what things we can and can't do and how we give our experiences meaning. In coaching NLP is a way of exploring 'how' people think, identifying the conscious and unconscious patterns of behaviour and then initiating change by applying successful actions or beliefs in ways which work. Because of this, even basic NLP can be applied powerfully to Performance Coaching, both in business and sport and to Life Coaching.
