NLP coaching
At this course you will learn the effective processes of NLP coaching so you can really help
the people you work with make a difference in their lives and business.
This course will help you, as the coach, to help individuals identify what they need to do and
how they need to do it. NLP coaching is about facilitating personal change.
NLP Coaching has the distinct advantage over typical left-brain style coaching as it utilises
unconscious processes to enable the client to congruently achieve the objectives established
in the coaching plan. NLP offers coaches the ability to tailor selected interventions to take into
account the clients unconscious mind where both resources and incongruities are present.
