Coaching NLP Practitioner
Course Overview
NLP is the original coaching model and was around long before coaching burst onto the popular scene. NLP offers coaches powerful tools to enable clients’ to breakthrough challenges to have higher levels of performance. Whether you want to work as a life coach, business coach, work with groups or children, NLP will provide you with a set of specialist coaching skills that will help your clients enjoy more excellence in their lives.
The course has a double track format where for key sessions the group will work together learning the general application of an NLP topic and then to develop the skills specific to either coaching or business.
