“The more that you practice, the better you get.”
Welcome back to the NLP UK Training podcast! Hosted by NLP Trainers Steve Kay and Kali Fraser from NLPUKTraining.com – a leading provider of NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner certification in the UK.
When a company asks for three NLP courses, Steve and Kali’s first question is: why? Steve explains how finding out what a client actually wants to change can turn a request for training into a much more useful conversation. One organisation’s coaching programme began with a revealing problem: everyone was earning their bonus because their targets were set too low.
Kali remembers her first attempt at a coaching technique being ‘like a dog’s dinner’. Practice, feedback and putting the skills to work gradually changed that. Together they explore the difference between being seen as credible and feeling confident in your own ability.
If you’re building a coaching or training business and wondering when you’ll feel ready, this conversation gives you somewhere practical to start: ask better questions, keep practising and seek support from people with more experience.
In this episode, Steve and Kali discuss:
- Building trust by understanding what a client really needs
- What experience, qualifications and results contribute to credibility
- Designing coaching around meaningful objectives and accountability
- Developing confidence through practice and action
- Finding mentors who can support your growth
- Steve’s forthcoming book and his experience of growing a training business
