Introduction
Welcome to the course! In this video Steve will introduce himself in more depth and set some expectations for the course
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
And now it's time to meet your other expert trainer. Brian says hello, tells you why he is so passionate about you becoming the best coach you can be and gives you a little flavour of what to expect once you begin.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
So what actually is coaching? It's one of these subjective questions that can lead to a vast range of answers. In this video, Steve will give you his take on it, setting the expectations for the training.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
There are so many definitions of what coaching actually is and Brian continues what Steve has explained by giving his insights and thoughts on what exceptional coaching actually is.

Coaching Skills Mastery (NLP Life coaching)
With coaching being a multi-layers discipline, it's important to make some distinctions. In this video Steve will explain the difference between traditional coaching, mentoring, teaching and awakening.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Are you becoming a Coach or are you becoming a Therapist? How do you know the difference? And does it really matter?
In this video Brian will guide you through the differences in the classical definitions of Coaching and Therapy and then give you a key tip in becoming the best coach you can be for yourself and your clients.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Your first coaching model...
There are lots of different coaching models but they mostly all boil down to a simple idea: helping people move from where they are to where they want to be. In this video, Steve will outline a fundamental NLP based model necessary for becoming a masterful coach: the Present State to Desired State model.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
As a coach, we work from the premise that people do not need 'fixed', that they are, indeed, resource rich. In this video Steve will outline this point with interesting examples.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Now you understand the simple, overarching process of being an exceptional coach, Brian tells you about a real life example of the process in action, the incredible changes it made for one of his clients and the ongoing 'ripple' that the coaching started.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
In this video, Steve will outline some different coaching methodologies. The course will mostly focus on NLP based Coaching but they will also be drawing from other ideas and methodologies.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
As experts in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Steve and Brian are both hugely passionate about how the skills of NLP can positively enhance your coaching skills.
In this first of two NLP videos, Brian explains where NLP came from, what NLP is not, and why practising and learning the skills will enhance your coaching skills beyond measure.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
In this video, Steve will go deeper into NLP and it's role in life coaching & beyond; also explaining some further important distinctions.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
The Coaching Process...
Life is organic, but we all need models and a process to draw from. In this video Steve will outline the overall process that the training course will be based on.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Your first Demonstration...
Now that we are reaching the end of section 1 we'd like to do a quick coaching demonstration. Learn the power of clean coaching questions to make coaching more client-cantered. In this video, Steve will be setting the demonstration up.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
The Demonstration...
In this video Steven will be demonstrating a very simple and quick coaching session. The demo will involve asking juts 4 basic questions.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
In this video, Steve will be deconstructing the demonstration that just took place.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
The Coaching Relationship.
The relationship between the coach and client is vital. It will largely influence the results you get in the sessions you do together. In this video, Steve will outline what he believes to be the most useful dynamic between coach & client.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Coaching is a dialogue not a monologue. It's a sophisticated feedback loop By appreciating this simple idea you can develop your coaching to become more organic and dynamic.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Brian gets an opportunity to tell one of his favourite NLP jokes while explaining the power of Cause and Effect. A key job of any coach is to ensure that their client is taking responsibility and ownership of the problem.
However, the issue for many amateur coaches is that they miss tell-tale signals in their client's actions, language and behaviour that point towards a distinct lack of the required responsibility or ownership.
By the end of this video you will understand how common it is to give away our personal power and how you can begin helping your clients to recalim it and use it positivley in their own lives.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Following on from Brian's description of 'Cause' & 'Effect', Steve will outline some further important distinctions with regards to the idea.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
It's time for an exercise.
In this video, Steve will outline an exercise you can do to 'track' where your client os at, in relation to 'cause' & 'effect'.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
People are always ready to hold themselves back and make themselves small. Brian spent more than half his life doing just that. Preferring to be in the background and hide rather than step up and be himself.
In this insightful video, Brian explains how he held himself back and how you can help your clients be truly fantastic by recognising when someone is running the AMJIST principle in the background of their life.
In fact, there is even a chance by the end of this video you may discover that you are running this principle too!
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
You need to walk your talk but you also don't need to be perfect. In this video, Steve will discuss the balance between these two; something that can often be difficult to find, as a coach.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
When creating a coaching relationship there is a fundamental building block more important than any model, principle or skill. In fact, Brian and Steve have encountered countless, hgihly skilled and educated coaches who, because of their inability to effectively perform this skill, couldn't help the client's they wanted to help, make the difference they wanted to make and, very often, end up giving up life as coaches altogether.
However, all of us, at one time or another, have had a conversation with someone, a person who, for some unexplained reason we have an amazing connection to, who has changed us. Sometimes permanently. They weren't a coach, you just met them at a party or a course or sittin on a train but the connection you created had, and maybe continues to have, a profound affect on your life.
Let us show you how to make those connections on purpose and why they are so important.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Pacing and Leading: one of your most valuable communication tools as a coach. In this video, you will learn how to create a beautiful ebb and flow between you and the client that also allows you - the coach - to influence and move them in a particular direction.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Every person on the planet is a natural rapport builder. The ability to match and mirror each other's physiology and to unconsciosly recognise when it is happening is in-built into each and every one of us.
Which is why a person who can use this skill 'on demand' can be a very powerful and influential person indeed.
Brian takes you through the simple, and incredibly powerful, skill of Matching and Mirroring.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Brian challenges you to make Rapport real by taking out into the real world!
Start off with a simple challenge (which is really nice and will make you and at least one other person happy) and then, if you feel up to it, take on the Advanced challenge and test your skills on building entirely unconscious rapport.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
In this video, Steve will revisit the Coaching Dynamic and discuss, in more depth, the balance of the hard and the soft.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
What is a Coaching Frame? And why is it important?
In this quick introduction to framing, Brian takes you through what a frame actually is before we look at how to use them.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Now you know how important framing is, Brian takes you in to a little more detail of the two frames he uses most often in his professional coaching practice.
These two frames are hugely useful devices to use not only at the beginning of a coaching relationship but all the way through and will be tools that you can fall back on again, and again, and again.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
In this video, Steve will share two coaching frames that he likes to set early on in the coaching relationship.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Now it's time to go from theory to practice...
In this video you will introduced to an exercise on 'designing your own pre-talk'. Remember, how you start your coaching sessions is massively important - it will colour and shape the entire relationship.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
As we bring this section to a close, Steve will do a quick summary and then point to the next section.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Setting Outcomes & Directions.
Welcome to Section 3!
In this section you will be learning how to set outcomes and directions; a fundamental part of being a masterful coach.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Steve will be re-visiting the 'present state to desired state' model, giving further important distinctions and relating it to outcome setting.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
To be a modern coach you need to take your goal setting beyond SMART and add in a missing ingredient.
Brian tells you what that missing ingredient is and introduces the first step in a goal setting model that will help your clients (and you) achieve more than you ever dreamed possible
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Now your goal setting skills are developing, let;s move onto stage 2.
Brian shows you how to develop a goal into something that your clients can imagine and embody from the moment the goal is set.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
After Brian's description covering the first 2 steps, Steve gives his take on them, adding further important distinctions.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Now for step 3 in the well formed outcome model: resources. Steve will be discussing - with examples - how 'resources' are the crucial piece that helps us go from where we are to where we want to be.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Now for step 4 in the well formed outcome model: Ecology. Ecology is to do with how the outcome fits into the various other aspects of the client's life. This is hugely important to consider in order to minimise conflicts.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Brian tells the story of how one, life changing training course set his life on a path that did not fit the principles of a Well Formed Outcome even though, on first glance, it looked like he was on course to do exactly what he wanted to do.
A tale of why Well Formed Outcomes are the goal setting model of every top coach.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
From theory to practice...
In this video, Steve will outline a practical exercise to help you embed the well-formed outcome model.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Whether you are interested in golf or not, you will get a lot from this story. Steve will summarise much of what you've learned about well-formed outcomes through a personal story: the tale of two golf coaches.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
A powerful technique that blends visualisation with the power of your Well Formed Outcome to engage the client's unconscious mind.
In this first of three videos explaining this incredible process, Brian explains why visualisation is so powerful and how to help your clients enter into any visualisation process easily.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
How does your mind process time? Have you ever thought of that? And what if it was possible to 'move' your mind in time, to go forward and backwards and shift yourself through days, weeks, months and years just by using your imagination.
Now, as a coach, how could we use that to help our clients make their goals even more real?
Brian explains time (not in a Stephen Hawking kinda way, more in a coachy kinda way)
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Now you have the building blocks, Brian explains how the full Create Your Future process works and how to take a client through it step by step.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
One of the best ways to learn any coaching skill is to experience it first hand. In this special video, Brian asks you to choose a goal and experience the Create Your Future process first hand as he guides you through a version of the technique.
Make sure you have some peace and quiet for this and that for the 8 minutes of this video you won't be disturbed.
Don't skip it!! Take the time, there is no rush. Sit back, relax and enjoy the Create Your Future Experience
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
A very short video about extra Create Your Future resources you have as part of the course.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Now that you've learned about specific outcomes, it's time to pan the camera back and look at setting overall directions. This is a powerful way to help propel a client towards a more useful place. In this video, you will learn the difference between an outcome and a direction.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
In this video, Steve will be building on the previous one, adding extra distinctions and clarifying further.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
From detail to global...
In this lecture, you will be learning the NLP meta-program of global versus detail. A crucial piece of NLP theory when understanding the difference between an outcome and a direction.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
A global to detail strategy - the wheel of life.
The wheel of life features in practically every coaching programme. In this lecture, you will learn about the wheel but Steve will also be linking it to NLP theory and showing you how to create your own wheels.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Neurological Levels is not to do with the science of the mind, but rather our subject experience and how it can be represented in multiple layers. This fascinating and highly useful model can be used for many different purposes, with one being outcome & direction setting.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
We are starting at the bottom and working our way up. Brian explains the bottom three levels of the Neurological Levels and how they can frustrate people who believe they hold the key to change yet actually just continually keep people stuck.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
The 3 factors that make the difference to all change. As a coach, these are the levels you want to be impacting and changing as this is where life long, sustainable change is hiding for every single person on the planet.
Many of the world's most succesful and motivated people are fortunate enough to understand this without knowing how they know it. Now let Brian show you the three levels that unlock ongoing resilience, tenacity and motivation in every single one of your clients
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Another powerful aspect of neurological levels is that it helps client's connect with greater levels of meaning. In this video, you will learn how this works by hearing about one of Steve's favourite hobbies.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Now it's time to look at neurological levels as a goal assessment tool. In this video, Steve will be outlining how to use the model for this purpose and setting up the demonstration that is to come.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Neurological Levels Demonstration.
In this video, Steve and Brian will be demonstrating how to use Neurological Levels as a goal assessment tool.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
In this lecture, Steve will be deconstructing the demonstration that you just witnessed.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
From theory to practice...
Now it's time to turn the lens on you. In this video you will be pointed in the direction of an exercise you can do to embed the ideas we've been discussing about neurological levels.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Deepening your knowledge of coaching through the NeuroLogical Levels, Brian explains how to listen for clues in your client's language and then use your knowledge of the Levels to coach them to change.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Expect the unexpected. A paradox we know. In this stand-a-lone lesson, Steve will be sharing with you a powerful idea that you can either use in your own life, or with clients that can help you become more fulfilled: the unexpected surprise.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
In this video, Steve will be doing a review of the entire section, summarising the main points and ideas.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Creating Motivation & Momentum.
Welcome to section 4! In this section you will be exploring a how to create momentum and motivation.
In this lecture, Steve will do a quick re-cap of the overall coaching model and then set the scene for the section.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Values are areas in life that we deem to be important. Values are of critical importance as a coach. By eliciting a client's values you can help them become more fulfilled and also help them access more of their own natural, up-front motivation.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
What is and what is not a value? Is Money a value? Is a job a value? Brian explains how to spot the difference between a want and a value.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
One of the cognitive functions of the mind is the process of categorisation. By learning about this process you can more effectively understand how values work in the different areas of our lives.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
In this exercise, Steve will outline a quick exercise. We'd like you to consider a simple question: What's important to you?
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
The best way to learn about values is to hear about how they work in real life. In this video, Brian tells you the beginning of a story from his case book and sets you a challenge to test your understanding of how you can use values in your coaching.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Brian explains the values at play in his case study and how the clues were there from the very beginning.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Now that you understand what values are and how important they are to your client's outcomes, Brian takes you through the process for discovering your client's values quickly and accurately
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
As well as eliciting a person's values it is also important to elicit the client's definition of these values. They are subjective, so to increase the level of precision you have as a coach, it's important to find out what they mean to the client. In this video, Steve will be exploring this idea.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Brian sits Steve down, climbs inside his mind and pulls back out a fascinating set of values. Your opportunity to watch a live demonstration of all the techniques you have been learning about.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Brian explains what happened in the demonstration with Steve, explaining the questions he asked, why he asked them and what was happening throughout the process of elicitation.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
It's time for you to have a go and, as Brian explains, the best client to do this with may be much closer than you think.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
In this video, Steve will explain how to create outcomes through values. This is is an incredibly useful approach to use to increase a person's level of fulfilment.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
In this video, Steven will explain an exercise you can do to start creating outcome from values.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
As well as eliciting a person's up-front motivation - through values - it is also useful to create a propulsion system. In this video, Steve will introduce you the 'threshold principle' which is made use of to create one of these.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
One element of creating a propulsion system is the meta-program 'away from pain & towards pleasure'. In this video, Steve will outline this and illustrate how it can be used to build up motivation in your clients.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
The second element to creating a propulsion system is 'the element of time'. In this video, Steve will be outlining his and showing you how to use it in conjunction with 'the away from pain & towards pleasure' meta-program.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Now it's time to take both these elements and put them together into a technique. In this video, Steve will explain 'The fork in the road' technique. A powerful way to create propulsion systems in your clients.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
In this video, Steve will give you one experience of the fork in the road technique.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
In this video, Steve will summarise the technique and point to different applications.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Change-Work.
Now it's time for the most comprehensive section of the course: The Change-work Section.
All good coaching involves 'change' of some kind. In this section Steve and Brian will be exploring the topic in considerable depth.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
We change in many different forms. In this lecture, Steve will discuss some of the different ways that change presents itself.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Our problems and psychological challenges are held together in memory chains - often called 'gestalts'. In this lecture, Brian will explain this process and how it is relevant to change-work.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Do you think actions juts happen? do you think Feelings just happen? In this video Brian will start to explain how feelings and actions have structure behind them.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
In this video, Brian will reveal the missing piece that he - deliberately - left out in the last video.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
The Human Experiential Model: a simple yet profoundly useful way to understand our subjective experience. In this video Steve will outline the model and give you a colourful example of it to make it more vivid in your mind.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Introducing the Deep Change Model...
This is your 'go to' model when it comes to doing change-work. By understanding the different layers of change, as a coach, you can make an assessment as to which level to work at.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
Now that you've been introduced to the deep change model, Steve will give you some tips and tricks on how to use it as a coach.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
The 'As if' frame...one of the most important psychological ideas in NLP. Imagination is the key to making changes and the 'as if' frame is one the crucial tools we can make use of.
COACHING SKILLS MASTERY (NLP LIFE COACHING & BEYOND)
