There are many NLP tools that a coach might use in the first instance, but for illustration purposes we will restrict this to just using perceptual positions. The coach might use this technique for themselves to get a flavor of what their client is thinking.
Getting the client to look at the situation from the perspective of their new boss and doing a skills analysis from this perspective would give them confidence. They were employed for the role therefore someone has faith in them and seeing their skills from this perspective will help.
Looking at the new team's perspective and then getting the client to plan their approach from this and the organization's perspective might give them a different view of how to meet, motivate set expectations with the new team. But what if you took a neutral, observer perspective on the difference between the two and develop the action plan to take you from the current state to the future state?
The illustration above was just to demonstrate how a foundation level NLP Tool could be used in multiple ways situation. As an example, whatever you happen to be doing there is an ideal frame of mind associated with it. Athletes recognize this as being in the zone or a flow state. Any good coach will have a coach state they have anchored and can fire off to be in the right frame of mind to assist you as a client.
Language binds the relationship between coach and client. But language is just a filter on our thoughts and impacts how we represent the world to ourselves. A good coach is trained to notice these filters in themselves and others and then can open or restrict them to provide a better frame on the situation.
Anyone interested in getting great performance out of themselves, but if you are unreasonable, impatient and want those results faster, then NLP Coaching is a serious consideration.
