What is NLP?
You could think of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) as an owner's manual for the human brain. It's the study of how we think, feel and act, marked by an intense curiosity about how (rather than why) human beings get the results they do.
NLP began in the 1970’s by co-founders John Grinder (Linguist) and Richard Bandler (psychologist). The two experts studied the communication skills of a few of the best therapists, and found certain patterns that could be taught to others. That process is called "modelling" (we all did it as babies when we learned to behave like human beings from our mums and dads - so we are all natural modellers.)
Modelling Excellence
Unlike some other schools of psychotherapeutic thought, which concentrate on how problems arise, NLP started from studying people who are exceptionally good at what they do, and finding out how they do it so that anyone can get similar results by doing the same things. It aims to move beyond remedial change (fixing specific problems) to 'generative' change, which empowers you to achieve more in every area of your life.
Recently NLP practitioners - modelled what coaches do. And NLP coaching was born. Actually, the practitioners found that coaching has a lot in common with NLP so the two disciplines are very compatible. That's not surprising, because NLP is about positive change, and so is coaching.
What is NLP Coaching?
NLP coaching consists of knowing how goals, beliefs and values work together.NLP coaches use Easy-to-follow techniques that are adapted to take account of each person's individuality. NLP techniques are rapid and NLP is very practical and reality-oriented.
When talking to a client about any situation, NLP provides questioning skills that allow a client to focus quickly on improving clarity of thought, identifying mental obstacles, and getting insights into personal motivations and values that will direct what the person wishes to achieve.
