Originally a coach was a horse cart or the person driving it. Later
on the concept was extended to mean a person who helps an athlete or
a sports team to achieve better results.
In the last few years the concept has been extended again, this time
to mean a conversation partner who asks you questions in a different
way and using a different kind of language. The coach helps you to find
answer to your problems and challenges you. A coach helps you become
aware of different aspects of your life, putting them into perspective.
A coach helps you to help yourself, therefore to a better life.
NLP – Neuro-Linguistic Programming – is a set of techniques that address limitations, fear, insecurities, etc, so that you can get rid of these hindrances and move on rapidly and with a new spring in your step. You will be surprised at how effective, ”non-threatening” and simple these techniques are. The NLP techniques are so effective because they utilise the way our brains function. By consciously ”reprogramming” ourselves via language and associations we can change - our attitude to – how we see different the things that have been bothering us.
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a new, highly effective technique that will help most people to achieve success in all areas of life. EFT is based on new knowledge of the body’s energy systems. EFT works fast and gives lasting results. It is also completely safe.
EFT is, put simply, a kind of acupuncture for your emotions – except that no needles are used. In stead, the therapist taps with her fingertips in order to stimulate certain meridian points while the client is “tuned in to” (thinking about) the problem, rather like the way a radio or TV is tuned in to a certain frequency.
Traumas, abuse, stress, anxiety, fear, phobias, depressions, grief, addictions and hundreds of physical problems including headaches, pain and breathing problems are examples of complaints where EFT has proved effective.
Until recently the nearly imperceptible energies circulating through the body have gone virtually unnoticed by western scientists. Therefore they have not been used to liberate people from the emotional baggage that prevent their progress in life. Within EFT we consider these energies the main reason for emotional problems. In consequence we achieve much better results than conventional therapies.
«The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system.»
When our energy system is disturbed, for i nstance through negative experiences, an electric “noise” occurs inside us. This ”noise” leads to a feeling of pain. EFT removes the “noise” so that our energy system is brought into balance, giving us rapid relief because it deals with the real cause.
As your coach I will help you gain control of external and internal changes in your life. We are constantly faced with new situations where our attitudes, habits and ways of doing things no longer work for us. We need new approaches that work for us in our new circumstances.
We need change, and yet the very word frightens us. As your coach I will help you design a new strategy to help you reach your goals within the deadlines you determine. My job is to show you the many options you have to choose from, and what resources you have. I help you to find for yourself the answers that will take you further in life.
Coaching works because it’s about gaining insight and perspective, bringing structure and system to your actions, making you aware of your potential and putting the whole thing into a time frame.
Yes, it does help with all kinds of problems. But no, it will not help everyone. It will only help if you really want to improve your life and are motivated for it. Just as in sport, it is not the coach who wins that gold medal; it is you, the athlete! Coaching helps you to achieve better results, but you are the one creating the results.
As soon as you want to see them, provided you work consistently.
