We all have bad habits. As you know, habits are hard to break. Making a permanent change requires courage and determination.

Changing or giving up something can feel like you need super-human strength and willpower.

Unfortunately, super-human strength is really only found in comic books, and willpower can wilt as soon as a hurdle appears.

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is used by many people to make a permanent change in their life – whether that is a physical change such as stopping smoking or losing weight, or whether it is an emotional change, such as being more relaxed and calm in certain situations.

Many people say that it is one of the most effective ways of dealing with the changes we so want to to make in our lives, it certainly helps with things like cravings and other withdrawal issues linked for instance to quitting smoking.

Understanding what NLP is will help you understand why it is an effective way of making a permanent life change.

Dr. Richard Bandler coined the term ‘neuro-lingustic programming’ in the 1970s. He wrote the definition that appears in the Oxford English Dictionary:

NLP is a “model of interpersonal and communication chiefly concerned with the relationship between successful patterns of behaviour and subjective experiences” and “[an] alternative therapy based… which seeks to educate people in self-awareness and effective communication, and to change their patterns of mental and emotional behaviour” 

We offer individual and business coaching using Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) coaching techniques, which are based on four key areas: people not equalling their behaviour and having the freedom to change their behaviours; people possessing all that’s needed to succeed and learning how to unlock that potential; communication success is based on response and learning to communicate better yields better responses; people are in control of their own minds and the life that they lead.

NLP coaching, can be tailored to reinforce best practices and encourage productivity in individuals or for thise in a busineses enviroment.
