NLP and Coaching

Who is this course for?

This course is suitable for anyone interested in psychology and who manages a diverse team or anyone wanting to take appropriate action to achieve their goals in life.

Objectives

The course looks at how your coaching can be more effective by incorporating some NLP understandings and techniques beyond what is available with traditional coaching methods.
It helps the coachee to achieve greater financial freedom, more success in their career through achievement and improved clarification of purpose, improved health and relationships and to overcome behaviour patterns, mostly unconscious, which are no longer serving them.

Prerequisites

Delegates should be prepared to interact and practice the techniques, be open to a degree of self-exposure and trusting of relationships with others.
Advisory: Occasionally, some catalytic moments may present themselves as self-realisations are made.
