Coach Training Masterclass

Become a high-level, qualified coach who can work effectively anywhere

The Coach Training Masterclass is for NLP Practitioners who want to advance their skills to new levels and develop a coaching practice; whether that’s establishing a business of your own, becoming a coach in a forward-thinking organisation, or adding coaching skills to your current role. In the Coach Training Masterclass you’ll incorporate your current NLP abilities, learn some new skills and combine these with expertise and experiences you have accumulated during your lifetime.

Everything, (well, most things ????) that have bought you to this point, will be useful to your practice as a Coach. The problems and hardships you’ve experienced, mistakes you’ve made and your triumphant successes — all provide you with reference experiences to draw upon in your coaching practice.

You know you have more to offer humanity

You want to help others develop their potential and access their inner strengths, gifts and talents. You’d like to help people change their lives for the better.

You’ve seen and heard the difference NLP makes to your own and others’ lives. And even if you are using NLP skills every day, there might be a tendency to focus on the things you’ve personally found most useful, or those that are most practical in your work. But…

You’ll never have a client walk in and say, “I want you to do a SWISH with me”.

Or “I want you to use how I code time to release an unwanted emotion.”

Doesn’t happen.

They just turn up with whatever problem they have, and it’s your job to decide what the real problem is. Remember the problem is never the real problem, it’s how they’re thinking about the problem that’s the problem. (Wow! That’s a lot of problems! ????)

Don’t fall into the trap of believing what your client is telling you.

And by ‘client’ I mean whoever it is that you’re trying to help. The client might be a work colleague, a child, a friend, a member of your team or an actual client or patient.

You can fall into a comfort zone

If you continue just doing what you’ve been doing, it’s likely your coaching will become stale. Then become repetitious. Then boring and tedious.

You’ll lose your passion.

Remember, one of the critical aspects of NLP is flexibility. If you’re using a limited toolbox of skills, you may not be as flexible and effective in your NLP practice as you’d like to be. And effectiveness – being able to effect change – is what builds your confidence and gives you that passion and energy.

Can you imagine how quickly your coaching expertise will increase using this method?

And sure, it’s pretty intensive and not for the faint-hearted. But I bet a bit of a challenge has never scared you off in the past! Especially when all the feedback you receive is given with such love, compassion and care. And let’s face it, just about everything you’ve achieved has involved moving through any current perceived barriers — that’s how we grow and develop.

Course Curriculum

You’ll be involved in lots and lots of coaching practice. Lots. And. Lots! This will include roles as coach, client and observer, learning from all three perspectives. You’ll learn to incorporate different NLP techniques and blend them seamlessly into your coaching sessions.

You’ll receive ongoing feedback from the trainer and the other participants throughout the course, and you’ll also learn by giving feedback to others. This means you’ll graduate feeling completely confident and competent in your role and your abilities. The months between the in-class training blocks gives you the opportunity to practice, integrate and add to your skills. In this time you’ll also be participating in the on-line business aspects of the course, completing some of the assignments and getting feedback from your trainer and the other participants. Once you complete all the classroom requirements, the assignments, and the other requirements, you’ll graduate as a Coach ICI ( International Coaching Institute)
