What is NLP coaching?

NLP coaching is a relationship between a NLP Coach and a willing individual inside or outside of an organization that is built on respect, safety, challenge and accountability. The purpose of the relationship is to put the Coachee in touch with the internal resources that she/he already has to be "their absolute best and to achieve extraordinary results in performance and in living."

What is the difference between: business coaching, corporate coaching, executive coaching, life coaching, and career coaching?

As the field of coaching grows, some specialties are emerging:

Small Business Coaches generally work with entrepreneurs, small business owners and their management teams on developing their vision and building a more profitable and efficient business.

Midsize Business Coaches work with executives, managers, and owners of companies who have grown to the place where a stronger leadership focus is needed and the company is struggling with overcoming normal growth challenges.

Corporate Coaches often work within larger organizations to help managers and executives increase their productivity, strengthen their leadership abilities and achieve peak performance.

Executive Coaches usually specialize in working with mid to upper-level executives and owners of companies who want to accomplish either corporate or personal goals more effectively and efficiently.

life Coaches work with all of the above individuals on making their personal and business life more successful and satisfying. You really cannot separate one from the other because it's the same YOU operating in both.

Career Coaches generally focuses exclusively on helping individuals make career decisions and transitions more effectively and strategically.

How is coaching different from consulting or counseling?

Coaching has become a very hot topic in the last 3 to 5 years. Now it seems like everyone is calling themselves a "coach". I take coaching very seriously and I do not lightly apply the term "coaching" to everything I do. Good coaches understand the difference between coaching, consulting and counseling.

Most counseling is centered around healing mental and psychological concerns. Generally the patient comes into the counseling center or hospital to be treated for their "problem." The psychologist or therapist generally applies a diagnosis that identifies what the patient is struggling with and prescribes a treatment plan.

In coaching there is no diagnosis. There is no "doctor-patient" relationship. The coaching relationship is founded upon the belief that each person is equal-coaching is a partnership of equals. A coach does not prescribe a treatment plan, instead you and your coach develop a plan together. The solution to your "problem," as defined in coaching, is not found in delving into your past, but focusing on your future. Great coaching helps you maximize your strengths while developing your growth areas.

Most consulting relationships are also based on the "expert-student" model. The consultant is the expert. The client is the student. Consulting is generally all about having the right answers.

NLP Coaching is all about asking the right questions. In NLP coaching, the coach is not seen as the expert, but as a partner. You are the expert on your life and business. The NLP coach will focus on learning about you and will help you solve problems more effectively and efficiently by asking the right questions.

How is coaching done?

NLP Coaching is generally held either in person or over the phone, but some coaches use fax, email, and even chat rooms. I prefer to hold our coaching in person, but this is difficult for some of our busy executives and many of our out-of-state clients. We have found no decrease in effectiveness in coaching using the telephone versus in person.

How long do you usually work with people?

At the beginning of the coaching relationship we strongly encourage you to consider working with me for at least 3 months to experience the full benefits of NLP coaching. However, the overwhelming majority of my clients find coaching so beneficial they work with me for an average of 6-8 months. I have some clients who have been working with me for more than two years.

Does NLP coaching REALLY work?

Absolutely! my current and former clients have accomplished some amazing things through NLP coaching. While I cannot guarantee similar things will happen with you or your company, more and more research is coming out demonstrating the effectiveness of NLP coaching.

A recent survey measured the Return on Investment (ROI) of 100 managers and executives of Fortune 1000 companies who received customized Executive Coaching. The survey found customized corporate coaching to return an average of six times the cost of the coaching program.

Among the specific benefits to companies that provide coaching to their managers and executives are improvements in:

  • Leadership effectiveness
  • Bottom-line profitability
  • Organizational strength
  • Top-line sales
  • Retaining executives who receive coaching
  • Cost reductions
  • Quality of products and service
  • Overall Productivity

Among the benefits to managers and executives who receive coaching are improved:

  • Leadership skills
  • Conflict resolution techniques
  • Working relationships with employees
  • Job satisfaction
  • Work and life balance
  • Working relationships with peers
  • Time management
  • Organizational commitment
  • Relationships with clients

A recent study cited in the prestigious Public Personnel Management Journal found a typical management training program increase the manager's productivity by a respectable 22%, but when combined with 8-weeks of intensive Executive Coaching, the manager's productivity exploded to more than 85%!

NLP Coaching works, but it does take time, energy and a personal investment by the coachee.

Why do you give a FREE COACHING SESSION and what do we do during that time?

Talking about coaching is one thing, but it doesn't become real until you personally experience the power of coaching.

What we discuss during our first free session varies from client to client. Usually I like to hear a little about your personal or professional background and what brings you to coaching at this time. Next I like to hear about some of the goals you would like to accomplish in coaching.

I try to spend most of the time actually letting you experience NLP coaching firsthand by letting you choose a topic and coaching you around it. Near the end of the session I'll answer any other questions you may have about coaching.

I do not "hard sell" you on coaching or try to convince you that you need coaching.

I do not pressure you for a commitment--other than being committed to achieving your maximum success.

I trust your judgment, to know whether or not coaching is right for you.

Are you ready to experience the power of coaching firsthand?
