How Neuro-Linguistic Programming Speeds up Transformational Leadership Coaching

Coach: Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is the knowledge of how human beings programme their minds to create their behaviour. Our behaviour; language, body language, habits, emotional expressions strongly affect the path of our life and our relationships with other people.

Client: How does Neuro Linguistic Programming help in transformational leadership coaching?

Coach: NLP speeds up your ability to make changes in your leadership behaviours. Because they are grounded in reality, not theory or speculation we work from a “reality foundation,” the techniques that NLP uses deliver effective results. Therefore, if you’ve got problems in, let’s say, your ability to communicate inspirationally, NLP is likely to help you make changes that will increase your effectiveness.

Client: In what way would NLP make a difference to me?

Coach: Once you realise that you have the ability to manage your thinking, habits and conflicts and you master the techniques that enable you to use that ability you will see a real difference between your behaviour now and the more dynamic behaviour that can be yours.

Client: Where did NLP come from?

Coach: Back in the mid seventies a linguist called John Grinder and mathematician Richard Bandler started to study the communication techniques being used by some of the most effective people in the world of professional healing. They studied Virginia Satir, Fritz Pearls and, perhaps most importantly, the psychologist and medical hypnotist Milton Erickson.

What they were looking for were patterns in their behaviour and speech which they used to influenced their patients.

Bandler and Grinder soon discovered that they could model the actions of the subjects they studied to recreate similar, and sometimes even better, results.

They started to formulate their now famous body of tools for enabling people to make changes in their behaviour.

Client: I still don’t get how NLP will help me?

Coach: The coaching, using NLP techniques, will provide you with a framework that will enable you to make important changes in your life.
