“Coach” came from ‘coche’, an old French word, meaning “a vehicle to transport people from one place to another.”
NLP coaching is gaining mainstream recognition as an emerging and growing field. An article in the Sydney Morning Herald (2000), states that coaching was ranked as the second fastest growth industry in the US after information technology. Coachville (2003) reported that there are 40,000 coaches practicing in 70 countries worldwide. These statistics show that the life coaching industry is growing in popularity and the main reason is that it’s highly effective in improving the quality of life of clients.
According to many psychologists and help specialists, NLP has been proven to be an extraordinary tool for personal change and development for more than 25 years. NLP coaching is an approach oriented to a client’s objectives and focused on positive change.
Inspired by cognitive and behavioral therapeutic approaches, NLP coaching is a practical method where the coach intervenes on the strategies, behavior and abilities, according to the client’s model of the world. The goal is to accompany the client and help attain realistic and natural objectives by offering all the support necessary for someone to discover personal strengths and overcome perceptions of limitations. Coaching consists of enriching the client’s ‘world map’ to give them access to a more useful personal repertoire.
The relationship between a coach and client is an ongoing professional and intimate partnership that enhances the client’s ability to access the skills and resources already available within. The process begins by focusing and being very clear on what it is you are seeking, what you want to achieve, what you want to change, alter or completely transform. Then, with absolute honesty, you will evaluate where you are right now. This is the gap – the distance between where you are and where you want to be. We will work closely with you to identify and change the things that have kept you from achieving the results you desire.
Through the coaching process, you are stretched out of your comfort zones by your coach. It is only then that major changes are possible. Life begins when you step out of your comfort zone.
In NLP coaching can help in the following areas:
- Relationship
- Career
- Studies
- Finance
- Health
Next comes a specific step-by-step plan to achieve each one of your intended goals along with the understanding that you are entirely accountable for completing all steps and tasks according to the agreed upon plan. We may assign additional tasks to address difficulties, barriers or obstacles that present themselves along the way, OR to draw out natural resources, skills and talents that we know are lying dormant within you, waiting for you to breathe life into them.
So how is NLP Coaching different?
What distinguishes NLP Coaching from other coaching practices is the multi-dimensional awareness of how a person communicates, both internally and externally, to achieve or even sabotage their specific and desired outcomes. A client’s thinking and behavioral patterns are highly influential components that may determine success or failure in any endeavor. Working patiently and non-judgmentally with a client is an essential ingredient to successful coaching.
