NLP Coaching Training
In the mid 1990’s I felt there was something missing in many coaching training programs that slowed the development of the core competencies in the field. There has often been a lot of focus on what skills and competencies a great coach should be able to demonstrate however much less about specifically how to develop them and how to consistently demonstrate progress and continuous professional development. Also many challenges a coaching client might bring to a session such as limiting beliefs, unresolved negative emotions or ineffective ways of doing things were frequently beyond the methods and tools that coaches are trained in.
When I came across NLP in the late 1990’s I saw it’s potential to fill the gap and therefore accelerate the development of skills and competency, improve consistency, quality and standards and also, for me, to do so in a fun way. It took me back to a book I had read called “The Inner Game of Tennis” by Timothy Gallwey which I believe really kicked off the development of coaching. What caught my attention the most was the mind set which is about the study and replication of excellence and the structure of subjective experience that is, how we each perceive the world in our own unique way.
Going forward I believe the future of NLP and Coaching is NLP Coaching as it brings together two powerful disciplines that enables people to create new results for themselves and to enable their clients to do the same. It also provides a solid foundation that will continually develop over your life.
