NLP and Coaching

How has NLP helped me? 

Going on the NLP courses was a change journey for me, and it gave me great insight into the nature of personal change and with this, confidence that such change can be brought about and can last.

'Lasting' is important.  Change, once it has been achieved, needs to be able to withstand the seemingly negative approach of others who may have their own agenda for you.  NLP gives clients tangible things to hang onto - things like anchoring, the Hero's Journey, the Well-Formed Outcome, the Permission Pattern.

I feel that my coaching technique has broadened hugely with NLP as there are so many more useful ways that I can work with my clients.  You never know where a coaching conversation might lead but I feel confident that I will have something I can use that can help them.

NLP also gave me a greater understanding for spotting patterns of thought and behaviour that I can point out to clients for them to work on.

I really like the positive approach of NLP.  As a coach it would be easy to get into the 'problem frame' - the client has this problem, and that problem, and...  NLP is about starting from a new place and helping people find their strengths then working through their problems.

What did I like specially about NLP School?

I felt my intellect was respected.  Robbie is passionate about what he does, but he has a touch of irreverence which I liked a lot.  I didn't feel brainwashed - I was allowed to settle in and find my own way but there was always lots of support as I went on my journey of discovery.

The venue was the icing on the cake. Who could not enjoy learning new skills and techniques in such lovely surroundings?
