Change is the only constant and it won't get slower. The only chance companies and their leader have is to embrace change and be ready. Business and executive coaching is one way to create individual responsibility embedded in coachee's belief and value system. It may be the only way to create lasting and sustainable change.

For the Individual:
Personal or Life Coaching is best known in its relation to improving personal effectiveness. For the individual, it is assisting in overcoming:

• Doubt
• Anger
• Anxiety
• Guilt
• Sadness
• Fear
• Conflict
• Indecisiveness
• Feeling overwhelmed
• Performance Issues and to create wider and more choices in your life and work
• Understanding your partners, friends, relatives and children
• Search for identity and purpose
• Assisting in the preparation for critical situations such as conference speeches, interviews, presentations, career choices, examinations or tests

Coaching with NLP helps individuals to master their emotions astonishingly fast. Going through the exercises challenges individuals to discover on how to overcome their fears, doubts and frustrations, create their world today to succeed tomorrow in situations that they could only dream of before.

Ask yourself what you want and check the following questions.

For the business leader
• Is your business facing increasing competition and you need new directions, more creativity and innovation ?
• Have you recently restructured your company and something seems out of sync?
• Are there communications challenges in your company?
• Do you lose business to your competition and don’t know why?
• Are your different leaders working more individually and not towards a common goal?
• Do you want to understand your customers, clients and employees even better?
• Do you want to succeed in sales- negotiations, meetings, and conferences?

For the HR leader
• Is your training creating sustainable results?
• Are you promoting executives without real success?
• Do you face a leadership crisis?
• Is your employee turnover too high?
• Are your employees disengaged, and lack motivation, are frustrated?
• Do you want to create a high-performance teams?
• Are you putting the right people in your team to achieve breakthrough results?


Coaching with NLP is all relatively straight forward. It sounds like magic, can be seen as magic but it is outstanding in its effectiveness - I experience it myself every day.

Even better, it creates lasting change! And when was the last time you changed your habits, participated in a training session and experienced lasting change, in business or in your personal life?

Hi Andre,

I think it is not something new until someone just found a jargon for it. In fact it was practised by Adolf Hitler when he killed the Jews. Cutinng the wrist of one and his blood dropped till he died and let the rest witness it. The rest died even though they were actually cut by an ice! They were blinfolded and believed the sound of liquid dropping were their blood. Then there is a story about another man who died in an big freezer container. He died because he believed he would even though the freezer was actually not working.

I knew about 'inferiority complex' from my mother. She's not a psychologist but she reads newspapers and cut out interesting articles in her scrapbook. She shared it with me when I was 17. I wish she had told me about it earlier. I made some changes after that. I am no longer a shy person. Lack of confidence but then there are many other things to learn. I read psychology books and surfed sites on mental health and from there I undertsand why some ppl have certain problems. A psychiatrist I met also told the same things... brainwashing... getting rid of fear. Yes, Prozac helped offset the low level of serotonin in my brain, which was why I could not control it even though I have tried to fight my depression mentally and physically (by doing exercises).
I attended two NLP seminars... about an hour and a half each. One of them stressed moreon the magic of NLP... walking on broken glass, touching fire. The other was something like the psychological approach. Between the two, I think I was more fascinated by the former, at least I can see that the speaker walked the talk.
I did get some inspiration from the latter though.
In what way did the NLP help you?

From the way you 'sell' NLP, it gave me an impression of 'prozac'. Coaching qith NLP is like a new pill for depressed ppl aka ppl with same jobs, same salary, same wives/husbands! Ain't it (Prozac) used for overcoming:
• Doubt
• Anger
• Anxiety
• Guilt
• Sadness
• Fear
• Conflict

I personally think a one-day or a few days' training don't have a long lasting effect. Participants will get excited during the training period. After a while, they will quickly return to their old rountine. It's like a flame of fire, it fades as the oil runs out.

Andreas:
Hi Razin,

Thanks for your entry - I love it and please allow me to respind to it.

I believe that the difference between NLP and Prozak is that NLP is that you work with your mind. You are responsible for it - and you can develop it. Prozak is just medicine.

Sure I am selling NLP, because I am convinced that it works and I have seen the result in me and others. But that is me - I cannot teach or coach others to believe in it, only they can start believing in it and then it works. I have seen people who were in the training and they didn't work with it - sure, they have changed, a bit, but as it is, if you don't practice it, you forget it and old habits come back. That is the usual thing in life.

However, the nice piece is that you can create lasting change when you really align everything you learn - from your identity to your behaviour and you support it with hypnosis, and may be timeline therapy (are you aware of this?). Then, you go directly into the subconscious mind, it stays there and you create lasting change. Than, you don't need Prozak anymore :)

Razin, you are right about your comment regarding training. "Normal" Training doesn't always work because frequently, you train in situations that don't apply in your company. You train habits and you try to counter habits with new habits. It doesnt work that way. The learnt script is different, the environment is different and most of all, you are not getting rid of the habits.

NLP actually teaches you to understand yourself and the other person better, independent from any siutation, thus it is applicable in any situation.

Does this help? Feel free to send me a mail, if you want to continue the discussion.

Best regards
