For the last decade, NLP coaching has been gaining mainstream recognition in Singapore as an emerging and growing field.
Since its origins in the early 1970s, Neuro-Linguistic Programming or NLP has been widely used by countless successful and renowned trainers, coaches in Singapore and all over the world to help their clients make personal breakthrough and develop their higher potential in life.
Here is a list of compelling reasons why this incredible human change technology remains as most peoples’ favourite coaching tool in the areas of personal achievement and self-growth:
- NLP has been proven to create results over the last 40 years through the modelling of Human Excellence. Unlike conventional training methods and techniques, NLP leverages on the power of modelling to help you or your clients achieve results effectively and efficiently. It has studied intensively how people have achieved excellence in various areas of life and uncover ways to replicate those patterns of excellence. Instead of reinventing the wheel, why not learn from acme achievers who had already gone through the path and give you a “free ticket” to success?
- NLP coaching helps you and your clients to achieve your desired outcomes and behaviour faster. Compared to many other personal development technologies, NLP techniques are well-known for its ability to achieve results in lightning speed. For instance, Neuro-Linguistic Programming can help you to overcome any forms of fear and attain self-confidence in any situation within a few seconds.
- NLP techniques can help reduce your client’s resistance to change. According to a NLP Presupposition, resistance in client is often a sign of lack of rapport. Since an NLP coach will be equipped with the necessary skills and tools to establish robust rapport with his clients very early in the coaching process, he/she is less likely to face any strong resistance from the client. Moreover an NLP coach or NLP Practitioner may choose to employ many other helpful tools such as Metaphors, Quantum Linguistics, Milton-model etc to help bypass his client’s critical faculty and effect change of his behaviour at the unconscious level.
- NLP enhances learning effectiveness. While most education is concerned about teaching conscious concepts to conscious minds, NLP Practitioners recognize the benefits of teaching to both the conscious mind and the unconscious mind and appeal to both for the process of change to occur. NLP Practitioners recognize that most learning behaviour change is unconscious. Thus learning which has not been integrated at both the unconscious and conscious levels is not necessarily useful to the conscious mind.
- Neuro-Linguistic Programming adopts a holistic approach to solving problems. Unlike many quick-fix methods, NLP comprises of techniques which help effect positive change while taking ecology into consideration. Unlike most training methodologies, an NLP coach is concerned in “preserving” the positive intention of his/her client’s undesirable behaviour. Thus, NLP intervention frequently brings forth long-term and permanent change for the better, since it does not cause any “side effects” in the process of solving problems.
- NLP offers the coach an abundance of tools to help make a positive difference in the lives of others through myriad means. According to a survey by the International Coaching Federation, a wide range of benefits was reported through coaching. These include-
