LINGUISTIC AWARENESS - NLP pays attention to linguistic patterns - Carefully formulated questions - Coaching interaction including exploration vs Information gathering including reporting
Information gathering vs. Coaching Information gathering focus Coach: What would you like to discuss today? Client: I m having trouble with my supervisor at work. Coach: What kind of trouble is it? Client: She supports other employees in going over my head in getting things approved. Coach: Give me an example. Client: Well, yesterday Mary went to my boss and asked my boss, Dan, to approve the new course she wants to teach next term. Dan did it even though that is my responsibility because I am Mary s direct supervisor. Coach: What kind of course was it? NLP Coaching interaction Coach: What would you like to focus on today? Client: I m having trouble with my supervisor at work. Coach: What makes this an important issue for you? Client: I m feeling undermined by her. Coach: How do you experience that? Client: She approves requests from employees who report directly to me. Coach: What is the key thing you would want differently? Client: I want my authority recognized. Coach: If your authority were recognized then how would you feel? Client (pauses to think) I would feel less resentful.
