At the weekend I met up with a guy that I hadn’t seen for some months. He was actually the first person I coached when I finished my NLP practitioner course and I coached him to improve his motivation to write and complete an album so it could be submitted to the industry with the ultimate aim to be released.
An admirable goal, and for many, a scary one I’m sure. I mean, the thought of putting yourself out there is a tough one. His challenge was to find the motivation to do this on top of a day job, DIY, going to the gym and all of the other stuff that we use to distract ourselves from what is important to you.
So anyway it’s been a while and, I think, we had 3 coaching sessions, during which we did some pretty cool stuff; lots of awkward questions, visualisation, deleting limiting beliefs and some hypnosis here and there - I really threw my toolbox at him!
I’m a lot better now, more subtle, I still use the toolbox, people just don’t know I’m doing it now 
So I was pleased when he told me that he’s now writing more than he ever did before, and he’s enjoying the process and is much happier and confident about life and where he’s going. Which is fantastic for him, and great for me too, because feedback is a wonderful thing and I always come away from coaching sessions frustrated that I couldn’t have done more.
It was also really useful to know that even in my newly-qualified hands, that which I had learnt was powerful enough to have positive, lasting change on someone. Now I’m getting the same, and better, results in one session, the challenge is waiting for the change to happen so I can get feedback. In reality though, when you listen and watch really careful, you can tell that the change has happened, because if you ask, the unconscious mind tells you so.
So I’m not sure if this post has that much of a point other than to tell you that i’m chuffed, and that perhaps, that which I talk about here, and the books that I suggest may help, really can make a difference to you.
Thanks for listening and have a great week!
