Review NLP Miami Training

Review of our NLP Miami Training by our students in the comments below.

We believe that testimonials are often disjointed, taken out of context, and in some cases even made up.

This is why we allow our students to comment on our course on our blog.

Coaching and Law

nicole — Sun, 11 May 2008 09:56:37 +0000

Coaching and the law are often overlooked by life, personal, business coaches and NLP practitioners.

Coaching Company Establishment and the Law:

1. Prior to establishing and registering your coaching company, do your research as to what type of legal entity (type of company) you should establish. There are so many different forms from limited liability, sole proprietorship, profit, non-profit etc. What you should do depends on your local and country laws. Reason why is once you have legally established your company it is hard to change. There are pro’s and cons to each type of legal entity, in terms of liability, responsibility, obligations, tax etc.

Coaching Agreement:

2. Make sure that each of your clients signs an agreement. You want to protect your rights as well as that of your clients. At minimum it should cover liability, and confidentiality. It could cover what happens during cancellation, ethics, and payment etc. A good place to get this type of information is legal websites local to your state/country, chamber of commerce, other coaches. Be sure when you use ready made agreements, they apply to your country/state/type of business.

Coaching and the Law General

3. Work by the rule of thumb: “If you think it can potentially legallly get you in trouble, it probably eventually will.” Honesty is the best policy.

4. Though easy and tempting to do. Do not work under the table. You’d be surprised how many of your clients end up filing your coaching hours on their taxes. Even though it may not even be tax deductible. In addition, clients refer other clients, before you know it the majority if your customer base pays you under the table.

Coaching, Law, Titles and Therapy

5. Be careful of the word “therapy”, in some states the practice of “hypnotism” for therapeutic purposes is restricted to licensed healthcare professionals. Though you could refer to providing NLP therapy, I’d still check your local laws on this. You also always have to ask yourself, even though something is legally allowed, are you representing yourself in an honest way? Are you clients seeing, who they think they are seeing?

6. If you are a hypnotist, and not a hypnotherapist. Don’t call yourself a hypnotherapist. Some training companies offer short trainings to become a hypnotherapist or even a clinical hypnotherapist, these names are open game. However, these training companies license you to misrepresent yourself. It doesn’t matter what you call yourself, it matters what your client thinks.

7. And if you create an illusion of being a hypnotherapist with years of training, or even a medical degree, you are setting yourself up for trouble.

8. If you are not a psychologist or a psychotherapist. Then don’t create the illusion that you are on.

Coaching, Law and Keeping Records

9. Keep records, make recordings or sessions, and check if your local law requires you to do so. We recommend that you do at all times anyway. Provide your client with progress reports to avoid false claims.

Coaching, Law and Referals

10. It is wise to refer medical problems on to a physician, don’t discourage rather encourage the client to get the best (medical) treatment they can get. This doesn’t mean you can not coach them at all, though in case of mental health, it would be wise to dialogue with the mental health care professionals of your client.

11. It is best to always have a referral for a client under a physicians care signed by the client’s physician. This ensures that you do not intend to replace medical care with coaching or therapy and is also a way of gaining the confidence and respect of the health care community as a whole.

12. Make sure you are not liable for what the people you refer your clients to do. Put this in the agreement with your client.

Coaching, Law, Insurance

13. Insure yourself for claims if you can. Check thoroughly if based on what you do, your insurance company will pay if anything were to occur. Some insurance companies will not cover coaching, NLP or hypnosis. So choose carefully.

Coaching, Law, Confidentiality

14. If you do not keep confidentiality or behave unethically you can be sued!

NLP Business Coach and Sales Coach

nicole — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 07:58:12 +0000

NLP Business Coach and NLP Sales Coach, is a title that more and more NLP coaches seem to use. This is not surprising, as NLP can improve almost every one’s sales and business performance. There are many ways a business coach or sales coach can use NLP to improve sales and business relations. We have developed the following checklist to remind you of some of these elements. We suggest that you carefully practice these skills just as any therapeutic skills to unconsciously incorporate them into your own buying/selling cycles and achieve the best results. Also note that people who call themselves private business coach or sales coach are some of the highest paid professionals in any field. A skilled NLP business coach or sales coach can save a company thousands of dollars in increased productivity, improved moral, stimulating creativity, building a cohesive team and training sometimes untrained sales and production staffs to dramatically increase margins. The benefit to the company is the availability of your services without the need to hire on another full time employee, which is the path most companies are currently following.Elements of the sales cycle are as follows:
• Get attention
• Establish rapport and gather information
• Package information
• Inoculate against objections and test for close
• Close & future pace and build in prospecting Etc. Sales and NLP skills relative to business:
• Sensory Acuity
• State
• Rapport
• Persuasive language
• Language of specificity
• Representational systems
• Eye accessing cues
• Strategies
• Multiple perspectives
• More sizzle with submodalities
• Value statements
• Fact finding questions
• Identifying criteria
• Intonation
• Anchoring
• Presenting back and story telling
• Tag questions
• Handling objections
• Closing
• Build in prospectingEtc.More information: NLP Business Coach Training

NLP Business Coaching

nicole — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 07:53:24 +0000

NLP Business Coaching is becoming increasingly popular around the world in the past years. Turning in one of the leading uses of NLP is the rapid growth of NLP in the business world. Since NLP is mainly a model of communication it only makes sense that tailoring NLP techniques to business applications, and NLP business coaching, is a natural transition. As corporate America, and the global economy are continuing to evolve, many experienced executives have found themselves displaced from their chosen fields of profession and are forced to “stake out on their own” to redefine themselves in the workplace. This has led to a niche market for these individuals as professional NLP business coaches and presonal coaches offering NLP services. NLP Business coaching and personal coaching follow many similar paths as to change the entire structure of “culture” of an organization; change must first be imparted at the level of the individual. NLP techniques are a perfect fit in many cases as they contain techniques for effective building of rapport, negotiating, reframing and state change just to name a few.

Coaching and Ecology

nicole — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 07:25:23 +0000

Coaching and ecology are sometimes neglected by many NLP and coaching training schools. Yet, ecology is one of the most integral things you should always look out for. We don’t live in an isolated space, we all have live in systems, or with other people, have relationships with others and ourselves. It is important that we do not try to achieve outcomes, that somehow violate or go against that. Now matter how positive your intentions are, the goal is to get your client from point A to point B, where point B is as positive of a place to be in. A place of congruency.

It is important you always check and abide by ecology. If your intention is helping people or improving yourself, it is one of the things to always be aware off in your application of NLP and coaching. Not doing this, can result in change that is not desirable, your client tends to loose more then gain. And in some cases, the results can be disastrous.

Some less then skilled and insecure NLP Practitioners can only help someone to quit a compulsion, by creating aversion! It is much better to install “choice” in your clients. Besides, creating “choice” lasts a life time. An aversion only lasts as long as it is disproven. Creating an aversion to chocolate lasts as long as the next time you eat a chocolate bar and notice how wonderful it is.

Never make a change towards an incongruent state, be ecological in your application and leave people in an congruent state!
