NLP Coach Certification

Your NLP Coach Certification

Your NLP Coach Certification is recognized by the NLP Coaching & Skills Training Institute in Phoenxi/Scottsdale, Arizona, USA.  As an NLP Success Coach, you will find yourself in the top 90 plus percentile of life coaches and business or executive coaches anywhere.  As a Certified NLP Coach, you will have skills at your disposal to help any client create profound change and take the action necessary to achieve the outcomes they say that they want to accomplish.   

Personal and business coaching has become a significant and respectable business over the last few years.  Look around and you will find that the most successful people you know have coaches.  Coaching results of excellent coaches are evident in every field of endeavor.  Celebrities and sports figures have personal and business coaches in addition to whatever organized coaching their profession provides.  The marketplace for coaching just keeps on growing and the number of applications for your NLP Coaching Certification are as many and diverse as you are willing to imagine. 

Similarities and Differences

Generally all personal and business coaching is based on the NLP Presuppositon that "you have all the resources you need to achieve any outcome you congruently desire."  The primary difference between NLP Success Coaching and other coaching orientations is that most coaches do not have the training and do not learn specific patterns to offer clients when they are stuck and when they need more resources or strategies.  They are not able to provide you with what to do to create change in your coaching client. NLP Coaching goes further.  NLP is about change!  Life-long habits and limiting behaviors often disappear permanently in only a few minutes with NLP Coaching.  NLP offers an entire toolbox or amazing techniques and life-change patterns that create fast, effective, and often profound change in virtually every area of life.  In this way, NLP Coaching is more hands-on, real-life and practical. 

Why Be A Coach?

Obviously, coaching works.  People are willing to pay for ways to be more effective, efficient, and profitable in today's fast paced world.  A driving question behind this movement toward personal excellence is, "How can I do more, be more, and enjoy life more."

The personal and business coaching profession is said to have its origins from the Inner Game of Tennis and Inner Game books written by Galwey in the 1970's. Learning organizations like Coach U and Coachville may have started a fervor with easliy accessible and affordable distance-learning internet-based curriculums.  From Psychotherapists who have been displaced and disillusioned with the advent of HMO and other medical health plan providers, to experienced corporate executives who have left the corporate ranks, a new career in coaching has continued to look like a viable alternative to traditional jobs.

Like a sports coach, the personal or busines coach sees the best in his or her players or clients.  In high school, I started working out in the weight room in addition to the organized school sports practice sessions.  When I had a workout buddy, a kind of coach, my workouts were always better.  My partner would push me to find an extra rep on the weights when I thought that I couldn't do more.  I was able to achieve more than I thought was possible for me, but my partner or workout buddy saw something more in me.  NLP, or Neuro Linguistic Programming, is the study and application of excellence.  As an NLP Coach your job is to help people push beyond their normal limits to create more than they believed was possible.  It is the pattern of seeing the greatness in people and helping them access what they want to accomplish and often more. 

The Winningest Coach 

My Uncle is Darrell Royal.  Uncle Darrell was 'the winningest coach' among the college football coaches of the mid 1960's to mid 1970's.  I was away from home and living in my uncles house the summer before I started college at the University of Texas when he brought the award home. 

I played football my freshman year and learned the his coaching style was different than the high school coaches I had known.  Since I moved around a lot growing up, I had met quite a few and had learned the yelling and 'getting in your face' were signs that your coach cared about you.  But at The University of Texas, my uncle had instituted a different way of coaching.  The clear belief and message was the to be playing football at University of Texas was an honor and that if you were playing on my uncles team, you were the cream of the crop.  You were the 'best of the best' and 'cream of the crop' and you were treated with the respect that you deserved.  That brought with it a level of responsibility for every member of the team.  There was a culture that existed and it was palpable. 

Walking down the jock floor hallway on one of my first days, I was stopped by a senior palyer and asked why I had averted my eyes.  We look each other in the eye when we pass each other here.  We have nothing to hide from each other.  That made sense to me.  We were proud to be Longhorns on the team that was really not my uncle's team but our team.  It was a strong metaphor for what we were about. 

What I observed is that when there was a problem or a broken play on the practice field, my uncle Darrell, would sometimes get with a player and put his arm around his shoulder and they'd walk for a while.  My uncle Darrell knew something about what those books by Galwey were all about.  He wasn't yelling and berating players.  He was reminding them that they had the resources within them already and he would simply ask good questions that allowed his 'cream of the crop' players to find the strength and the smarts to perform as the champions he knew them to be.  

In What Areas Can I Facilitate My Coaching Clients 

I believe it is a good idea to have a list of areas that my coaching work may apply.  I have my clients circle the ones that apply to them personally.  The strategy is to have the individual connecting the work we will do beyond the area of the problem or issue they are presenting.  Take a moment now to find a few areas that are important to you now.  Here is a partial list below:

• Get a promotion

• Deal with conflict

• Handle complaints

• Handle loss of job

• Management skills

• Hire and fire people

• Get to the real issue

• Influence with integrity

• Produce results faster

• Acknowledging successes

• Become an effective leader

• Build committed partnership

• Be a full player on your team

• "Wire in" states of excellence

• Build deep and lasting rapport

• Change your personal history

• Set and achieve goals/outcomes 

• Deal with upsets/negative feelings

• Attract and maintain a relationship

• Noticing quantum shifts in yourself

• Recover from difficult life experiences

• Discover Core Values and eliminate values binds

• Design your life vs. being a victim of circumstances

The Coaching Model and Making Money

Every business has to make a profit to justify it's existence.  This is a primary lesson every business coach should be teaching.  As mentioned earlier, lots of psychological counselors and other therapists have turned to coaching for a livelihood.  NLP Coaching offers a model for charging for coaching clients up front before services are rendered on a retainer-type basis.  I used to operate more like a counselor.  I would set up sessions and if a client did not show up for a session, it was at best awkward to collect for the lost time.  Now, the psychology is in the right place.  It is the responsibility of the client to make all scheduled sessions or to communicate in plenty of time if they cannot.  They have already paid and I have them pay by time period and not by individual session. 

In addition, you will get specific coaching on how to set up an NLP Coaching practice in your training.  There are lots of ways to market yourself and you may find some of the ideas and experience you gain to be of value in developing your business.

The Real Rewards

As with almost any business, the real reward is in the enjoyment of the work you will do.  You will be providing a real-life positive value to people who will want to repay in more ways than dollars.  I have people telling me years later what an positive impact I had on their lives.
