Many people use NLP techniques in coaching these days and with very good results. Let’s take a look at how using NLP in coaching can help you.

One NLP technique is ‘Perceptual Positions’. This technique is geared to looking at a situation from more than one perspective. A situation is always looked at differently by different people, so to learn to be able to look at a situation from other perspectives can be very beneficial. NLP teaches you to look at a situation from:

• Your own perspective
• The other persons perspective
• An outsiders perspective or a neutral persons perspective

By looking at a situation from other perspectives you can gain more insight into the situation which can enable you to influence what is happening. Also by seeing a situation from someone else’s perspective then a situation may not seem as bad as if you saw it only from your own perspective.

Perceptual position techniques can be used in business coaching by teaching your staff members to look at their work and assignments from different perspectives.

An employee working on an assignment will be able to do a much more effective job on the assignment if they sit back first and look at other perspectives. This way they will know what is expected of them from perhaps the boss’s perspective, also what is expected of them from the company perspective and of course what they can achieve from their own perspective.

This skill can increase the skills needed for the assignment and produce a better outcome.

NLP can also be used in coaching in sports. One big belief in NLP is that anyone can do whatever they want to do and the techniques teach you how to do the things you want.

This is important for a sports person to believe that they can be the best at their sport to perform extremely well. NLP techniques can help an average sports person to become a top performing sports person in their particular sport.

NLP also teaches how to model excellence so you can learn the skills used by top performers to become a top performer yourself. Many organisations of business and sport use the modelling techniques to identify what sets the top performers apart from the average performers and teaches the average performers these techniques to improve their performance.

Any great sports person has a coach, but if you want to improve your skills fast and effectively then you may want to consider using an NLP coach.
