NLP coaching : an evidence-based approach for coaches, leaders and individuals

I highly recommend NLP Coaching. I found it to be a tour-de-force and it will retain a well-prized position on my bookshelf. I imagine it will become an essential resource for anyone interested in the coaching world; its current publication serves as a well-earned and timely statement of the richness and maturity of the NLP field. Dr. Linder-Pelz reveals mastery of both her subject and the art of writing. From the opening passages of the book, she offers the reader an open and inquiring space to journey with her as she explores, discusses and raises questions about the field of NLP: its origins, development, similarities and differences to other coaching approaches, and its linkages to related fields of psychology, neurobiology, and neurolinguistics. As a transpersonal counsellor, I found these aspects of the book particularly useful as it helps contextualise common roots within the Humanistic tradition. The book is well referenced and includes ample quotations and contributions from key practitioners in the field. It is a rich reference source which offers practical tools for coaches, for coaching trainers, for practitioners and researchers to access information sources and, to incorporate within professional and personal practice, strategies and processes for self-discernment, balance, self-reflection and critical evaluation.

"In [book title] [author] brings, for the first time, an evidence-based perspective to this coaching methodology. She explains how and where NLP coaching is used, examines its links to established principles and practices, and questions aspects of NLP where the empirical evidence is missing. Providing numerous case studies and real-life examples, she shows how NLP assists personal, professional, team, leadership and organizational development."--Jacket Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) provides the linguistic tools to understand the structure of what is being said with the aim of identifying what the "real" issue is and the appropriate level at which to intervene. NLP Coaching helps coaches understand how and when to use this tool and to make a decision about whether they should employ it themselves. The book is supported by numerous case studies and real-life examples NLP Coaching is the definitive guide to understanding and using NLP models and methods. Offering a unique evidence-based perspective to the subject, the author presents and evaluates its use as a communication and development technique. Susie Linder-pelz.
