As coaches, we thrive on personal and professional development and living life large. We routinely work with people to establish goals, overcome barriers and fulfill long-awaited dreams . We are passionate about life and success and love the challenge of helping our clients get unstuck and realize their true potential, no matter what stage of life they are in.

Many coaches are so skilled at helping clients transform their lives that it seems effortless. But, while it may seem that way, the truth is that these coaches have a repertoire of tools and processes they rely on, and use frequently to help the client shift their perspective.

If you want a proven process to help your coaching clients imitate strong, workable patterns of excellence and generate success continuously, then acquiring NLP Coaching skills might be appropriate for you.

You have probably heard of NLP or Neuro-Linguistic Programming before and assumed that it was a practice solely conducted by psychologists, psychotherapists or other helping professionals. However, coaches can and do use NLP extensively and with outstanding results.

NLP Coaching is a sub-specialty of life coaching that is based on the methodology of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, which simply put is the science of studying and modeling the patterns of excellence in highly successful people.

This extremely powerful concept teaches that through modeling certain patterns, and then re-programming or re-conditioning your mind’s software , you can actually replicate success and achieve incredible outcomes. This means a coach who possesses NLP skills can be extremely effective in helping a client shift thinking and perspectives – very quickly!

Whether you are a business coach , life coach, relationship coach or have another special interest, NLP enables you to add a huge value to your services.

Coaches who apply NLP techniques can:

• Read people’s body language as well as their tone of voice and choice of words, for instant rapport and deeper understanding;
• Apply this same knowledge of language to guide your client’s experience and enable them to see options and opportunities they would miss otherwise, allowing for lasting changes to happen;
• Easily shift your client’s perspective, enabling them to see beyond what’s stopping them from achieving their goals and dreams ;
• Deal with past-event traumas that hold back your client and open them up to new possibilities and life-changing transformations;
• Identify and release limiting beliefs about the world and replace them with powerful convictions that attract wealth, success and well-being;

If you desire to be a coach who is a strong catalyst for personal or professional growth, learn how to correctly apply the principles of NLP, so you can incorporate this type of coaching into your established coaching business.

You can work these principles strategically into your clients’ coaching sessions with great accuracy, relevancy and success. The ability to integrate NLP coaching methods in any chosen coaching niche is worthwhile and doing so will provide excellent value for your clients.

Being able to effectively demonstrate the core competencies of NLP Coaching will also be one of the greatest and quickest ways to help shift a client's thinking and perspective and enable them to create numerous positive and lasting changes in their life that they never dreamed were possible.
