NLP Life Coaching: Free Coaching Training to Change Your Clients Limiting Beliefs

March 5, 2009 By Jeffrey T. Sooey 2 Comments

 

NLP life coaching offers a lot of technology that can transform a client within a single coaching session. NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming) teaches the ability to have someone rewire their belief system in a way that breaks down self-limiting beliefs and replaces them with beliefs that empower. You can spend years improving your NLP life coaching skills, but there are some techniques that you can start implementing right away to help empower your clients. Here is some free coaching training to help your clients change their limiting beliefs:

Free Coaching Training Step 1


Create doubt about the old belief. Have your NLP life coaching clients question it constantly and they will begin to doubt it. Ask these questions:

  • How is this belief ridiculous or absurd?

  • Am I buying someone else’s belief?

  • What will it ultimately cost me in this area if I don’t let go of this belief?

Free Coaching Training Step 2


A common technique in NLP life coaching is to link pain to the limiting belief. Do this by asking questions about future consequences:

  • What will believing this cost me I the future? What will I miss out on?

  • What tragedy could arise if I continue to believe this?

  • What will I loose?

  • How will I feel if the above answers become true?

Free Coaching Training Step 3


Help your clients find replacements for their limiting beliefs. One of the main theories in NLP life coaching is that if you don’t find an empowering alterative to the old belief, you will always go back to the old belief.

  • What do I need to believe in order to succeed here?

  • Who is succeeding in this area, and what do they believe that’s different from me?

Free Coaching Training Step 4


Link pleasure to the new belief by asking these NLP life coaching questions:

  • What will I achieve in the future believing this? What will I gain?

  • How will that make me feel?

  • What negative consequences will I avoid in the future believing this?

Hopefully this free coaching training offers a little insight about NLP life coaching technology and how it can be effective in transforming your clients within the context of a single coaching session.

NLP Life Coaching: Tools to Help You Become a Coach who Helps Their Clients Get Lasting Results

March 4, 2009 By Jeffrey T. Sooey 2 Comments

 

Are there any NLP life coaching techniques to help you become a coach that helps your clients reinforce the new beliefs that they created, so they can create lasting change? Billy Mills used a very powerful NLP life coaching technique in 1964 when he won the 10,000 meters at the Tokyo Olympics…before the term NLP life coaching was ever coined.

What the world saw as a huge surprise, Mills had been VISUALIZING for years. “I visualized it hundreds and hundreds of times per day in detail to the last lap of the race. It turned out exactly as I visualized it.” Mills came into the race in EIGHTH PLACE, but he knew that he was GOING TO WIN. Even though Mills was on the verge of falling out of contention for first place several times, during the last lap his NLP Life Coaching visualization paid off. “Although I was tired and I was driving, lifting, pumping, the self-hypnosis took over,” he said. “I had visualized so powerfully for so many years I knew I had won.”

What NLP life coaching tells us is not to waste your energy on the negative focus. When you help your clients keep the focus on the desired outcome, you become a coach that gets results.

NLP Life Coaching Techniques to Help You Become a Coach who Can Help Reinforce Beliefs:

 

  • Visualize the belief every day

  • Use the belief to make an affirmation

  • Create a ritual based upon the belief and do it often

  • Find others with similar beliefs and spend time with them

This NLP life coaching technique can be used from everything to walking into a networking event to breaking Olympic world records. And when you become a coach that gives their clients tools to reinforce their new empowering beliefs, you become a coach who gets results.

Do We Need a Definition of Coaching? NLP Life Coaching Takes the Test

February 1, 2009 By Jeffrey T. Sooey 3 Comments

Do we Really Need a Definition of Coaching?

One of the problems that the industry of professional life coaching seems to have is an identity crisis.  Wether it’s co-active coaching or NLP life coaching, no one seems to know just what the definition of coaching really is.  I was at a party tonight and people were asking me questions when I told them that I ran a coaching company.  They asked things like, “What do you teach?”.  ”Are you about marketing?”.  ”Do you motivate people?”  I always knew that life coaching and it’s brethren have lots of misconceptions in the ‘real world’ about what we do and how we do it.  

You would think that having a definition of coaching would help this little identity crisis.  If we could only DEFINE this thing called executive coaching or life coaching or whatever, then we could help people understand what it is and what life coaching is about.  I guess in a way we’d be supplying life coaching training to everyone, and they would see us just as any other profession.  

Although the definition of coaching is simple, and discusses everything you’d hope (working together to produce a specific result, etc.)  Those same misconceptions and mistakes that my new friends at the party had would still be there, even if they knew the ‘certified’ definition of coaching.   

NLP Life Coaching Takes the Test

Look at something more specific, like NLP life coaching.  there are tons of techniques that NLP life coaching envelops.  NLP originally was a modeling technology, but then people began to mistake it for therapeutic techniques.  Now people look at NLP life coaching as hypnosis or manipulation mind tricks.  How far can you go off the deep end trying to define something as broad as NLP life coaching?  The trouble is that NLP life coaching is even more specifically defined in terms of the skills and results involved that just general coaching doesn’t have to deal with.  The definition of coaching wont help with clarity around coaching and a further definition won’t help with clarity about NLP.   

The Definition of Coaching Still Lives On…

No matter how much the definition of coaching eludes or clarifies itself to us, the ephemeral and mercurial  art of coaching is going to have to cover a lot of ground.  It’s a big job, and the only thing that we as coaches can do about it is to learn as many of the techniques as possible and then really commit to helping our clients at the highest level with those same NLP life coaching techniques.
