• I have already attended a Coaching Training and am certified as a coach, why should I attend The NLP Coaching Certification?

 NLP has the most powerful skill available for Coaches. It is difficult to imagine how a Coach can be effective without NLP practical skills. Top Coaches who are not NLP trained have a natural tacit knowledge of NLP style calibration and questioning and an intuitive knowledge of how people operate. NLP offers Coaches who may not yet have acquired these intuitive skills, an option to quickly learn them.

 NLP was the first content free, process methodology for directing change in people and sowed the seeds for Coaching to form. While regular coaches talk about process and content free direction for their clients to achieve what they want, in reality few courses offer a hands-on approach for achieving this in the coaching context.

Q. I have done numerous NLP Trainings, why should I take The NLP Academy Coaching Certification with John Grinder and Carmen Bostic St Clair?

While many NLP Practitioner courses explicate NLP patterning, these courses do not necessarily package NLP in a way that it can applied in the coaching environment. John Grinder as the co-creator of NLP and his partnership with Carmen as a sought after business consultant and coach, make them the ideal people to learn NLP coaching from.
