The Brogue Hog

Personal coaching is a term that has become incredibly used over the last nine years. The term first became fashionable in the United States where, together with NLP, it became part of a redesigned magnificent wave of highly proactive therapy models.

In many ways both Lifestyle Coaching and NLP are a reaction against certain factors of the person-centred therapy movement, in particular Humanistic and Person Centred Counselling. A criticism of the person-centred therapy approach is that it is exceedingly reactive and not particularly proactive. Although all this works awesome with some people, with others long periods of no exit in sight or low return for time and effort occur. Performance coaching and NLP are both humanistic therapy in stance, spending effort on improving a customers well-being rather than delving into the minefields of childhood, as in traditional therapy. Their emphasis is, however, deliberately proactive and used to make you happy.

Life coaching is not about telling the customer what to do. This is a common misconception. Some success coaches are comparably successful in their business careers and then make the cross over to performance coaching, thinking that they will at most be required to divulge their pearls of mind-blowing business wisdom with the customer. Sharing pearls of wisdom is more like mentoring a person in a specific environment. Performance coaching is instead about life as a holistic view. Use Easily Achieve to gain success with a life coach.
