The Cold Turnkey

Lifestyle coaching is a therapy that has become incredibly used over the last 6 years. The term first became popular in the United States of America where, together with NLP aka Neuro Linguistic Programming, it became part of a new and improved wonderful wave of astonishingly proactive therapy modalities. Change your life today with Life Coaching.

In many ways both Coaching and Neuro Linguistic Programming are an answer against certain factors of the person-centred therapy movement, in particular Humanistic Counselling. A criticism of the humanistic and person centred approach is that it is really reactive and not extremely proactive. Although this works wonderful with some clients, with others long periods of impasse or low return for time and effort occur. Life coaching and Neuro Linguistic Programming are both humanistic therapy in stance, focusing on improving a customers smiles rather than looking into the depths of childhood, as in traditional psychology. Success coachings emphasis is, however, deliberately proactive and resolve issues.

Coaching is not about preaching to the coaching client what to do. This is a common misconception. Some coaches are pretty successful in their business careers and then make the change to lifestyle coaching, assuming that they will merely be required to divulge their pearls of outstanding wise wisdom with the life coaching client. This is more like mentoring an apprentice in a specific environment. Coaching is instead about life as a collective.
