Coaching with NLP

Both coaching tracks have the core component of Neuro Linguistic Programming as a foundation. The tools and methodologies of NLP to assist clients in both a therapeutic and coaching aspect. NLP is a very outcome specific coaching tool that encompasses skills for identifiying goals, creating motivation, clearing barriers for success and creating a clear pathway to helping a client get to their desired state or goal. We differentiate therapy and coaching in the following way:

Therapy: assisting a person to achieve and maintain a new state of emotional, psychological or behavioural awareness. An NLP Therapist may help someone with a fear, anxiety, depression, stuckness, feelings of worthlessness, unwanted behaviours, etc.

Coaching: assisting a person to achieve a specific goal through cognitive and behavioural encouragement, motivation, enhancement and change. An NLP Coach may help someone with goals such as weight loss, career change, starting a business, creating wealth, life transition, etc.

Ultimately your role as a coach (therapy or coaching) will be determined by the clients that you are seeing. Some coaches choose to specialise in a specific area (ie. relationships, executives, men, etc), while others become more 'generalist' coaches and adapt their style to the topic of the client. The versitality of NLP skills easily allows for a generalist approach.

Here is a general overview of how NLP works as a Coaching Modality:

Coaching is one of the fastest growing fields avaliable - more and more people are understanding that help is avaliable which can assist them to acheive their goals, get out of their own way and make more progress. All clients walk into coaching with a Present State (where they are now) and a Desired State (where they want to be), but often are lacking the skills and knowledge to bridge the gap.

Most Coaches has skills to identify the PS & DS, yet short of motivation and cheerleading, they also lack the skills to help bridge the gap between PS & DS.

This is where NLP Coaching comes in.

An NLP Coach, has the skills necessary to identify two key concepts: 1) what interferences (beliefs, behaviours, emotions, etc.) might be standing in the way from moving from PS to DS and 2) what resources (skills, attitudes, attributes, etc.) are required to bridge the gap. More importantly, once this information has been elicited, the NLP Coach has the knowledge and skills needed to change or clear interferences and access and build resources. Some of these tools and processes include:

Tools for Clearing Interferences		Tools for Accessing Resources
Belief Change Unconscious Pattern Change Reimprinting Change Personal History Parts Integration		New Behaviour Generator Resources Anchor Circle of Excellence Integrating Anchors Perceptual Positions

This type of Coaching can be used in all facets of life outside of professional coaching. This is why we also have a number of non-professional Coaches who also join us for this training. At our Coach Training courses you will also meet parents, teachers, leaders, managers, HR Professionals and 'that' person who is just the 'go to' person for all of their friends.

With our rigerous training and Coach Specific Training courses, individuals who complete the NLP Coaching Certification are equipped with the skills, tools and knowledge to Coach in any situation. Additionally, you have the option to complete Advanced Levels of coach training with the Meta Coach Training System.

The Worldwide Institutes of NLP work in close alliance with our collaborative training partners The Meta-Coach Training System, developed by Dr. L. Michael Hall and Michelle Duval. The following training courses, within the NLP Coaching Track are delivered through the Meta-Coach Training System and utilise the tools of NLP and Neuro Semantics (NS) to create a dynamic advanced coaching strategy. In combination with traditional NLP the Meta-Coach Training System provides the most cutting edge communication training available in the world today for Professional Coaches and any individual or organisation committed to rich relationships and success.

Meta-Coaching is a powerful coaching methodology that transcends traditional Performance Coaching, taking you to higher levels - to experience Developmental and Transformational Change. This is why it is called "Meta", meaning a higher level. At these levels profound change and growth occurs naturally and easily. The result is success and transformation.
