Coaching notes Here are some notes about the benefits of NLP contributed by Robbie Steinhouse of the NLP School Europe.

BUSINESS

Neuro Linguistic Programming is used widely in business, and has found its way discretely into many courses on sales, presentations, planning, and team building, often without being mentioned by name. You could choose to study something narrowly applicable to one area, or you could choose to study NLP, knowing that you will be able to apply the principles widely throughout both your business and personal life.

You can use NLP in

Creating rapport with customers, partners and staff

Aligning work with values for greater motivation and loyalty of customers and staff

Setting outcomes, creatively designing effective plans

Detecting people’s decision making strategies

Public speaking and presentations

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Are you curious about how you can develop yourself, address a personal issue, or build strengths in familiar and unfamiliar areas? NLP offers a cognitive framework, a supportive environment and practical tools that can help you in many ways.

The world is a place full of possibility. You can use NLP as springboard and toolkit to uncover and act with more of your full potential.

NLP can help you

Develop realisable plans that match your highest desires

Change outdated beliefs and behaviour

Learn new skills and take old ones to the next level

Express what's important in a variety of contexts to diverse people

Bring out the qualities of the people around you

COACHING

Many coaching training programmes borrow from NLP or use it as a base, and our courses have attracted many coaches seeking to deepen their understanding of their profession.

They’ve told us that they’ve found NLP very useful in other ways too.

We’ve had reports of coaches using what they’ve learned with us in

Managing state both for coaching and sales – and teaching these skills to their clients

Understanding and communicating non-verbally

Noticing and utilising language patterns

Developing rapport and creating an atmosphere of possibility

Creating change rapidly and elegantly

Of course the coaches who train with us are also people and they value our training personally as well as professionally. They also say that the whole process was a lot of fun.

TEACHING

If you are in the teaching profession you already value and have developed the ability to impart information so that people learn. However, teachers are far from the only class of people involved in helping others learn. Helping a colleague or employee take on a new task, raising children and making presentations are all forms of teaching.

NLP can be valuable in

Identifying people’s natural learning styles

Developing flexibility in presentation

Leading learners to the best state to absorb and assimilate

Dealing with blocks to learning

Use of presuppositions and language patterns that can make learning easier and faster

HEALTH

Mainstream medicine is becoming increasingly clear about the link between thought, behaviour and health. Stress is acknowledged to be a causal factor in a great many illnesses. Numerous studies show behaviours like eating patterns, emotional reactions like anger, and thinking patterns like pessimism have been shown to directly affect health. That is likely to be the tip of the iceberg.

You can use the tools that NLP provides to change the thinking patterns and the behaviours that they initiate to improve the health of yourself and others.

Whether you are a health professional or simply want to improve the way your health impacts your life, we think that NLP has a great deal to offer, and there is little we find more satisfying than helping people in this area.

NLP can help you to

Create outcomes that include health

Manage your state- learn how to enter relaxed states that aid recovery and react differently to stressful situations

Find meaning in life

Change limiting beliefs about body shape and other inherited conditions

Change habits and behaviours that damage your health into ones that sustain it

SPORTS

Whether you are a professional athlete, an occasional amateur, a team coach or just a coach to your kids, NLP has a lot to offer. Our courses have been created by Edward Hines, an ex professional martial artist who continues to coach athletes using NLP to maximise both their performance and pleasure.

You can apply NLP directly to

State management and access to the ‘zone’

Setting performance goals

Changing limiting beliefs with regard to performance

Modeling and learning from leaders in the field

Mental rehearsal of skills

Relaxation, recovery and healing

Naturally you can also use NLP in many other ways, some closely linked and some tangential to sporting performance.

HR and TRAINING

More and more organisations today are recognizing the added value that NLP brings to a variety of business activities. Whether it’s increased sales, improved relationships or better communication, NLP provides that something extra – the difference that makes the difference to business results.
