Lifestyle coaching is a therapy that has become increasingly familiar over the last seven years. The term personal coaching first became popular in the USA where, together with NLP aka Neuro Linguistic Programming, it became part of a redesigned spectacular wave of very proactive therapy techniques. Change your life today with Life Coaching.

In many ways both Performance Coaching and NLP are an answer against certain variants of the Humanistic movement, in particular Humanistic Counselling. A problem of the humanistic and person centred therapy approach is that it is very reactive and not awfully proactive. Although this works spectacular with some people, with other people long periods of impasse or low return for time and effort occur. Success coaching and Neuro Linguistic Programming are both humanistic therapy in stance, spending time on improving a customers happiness rather than jumping into the minefields of childhood, as in traditional psychology. Life coachings emphasis is, however, deliberately proactive and resolve issues.

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