Lifestyle coaching is a therapy that has become incredibly used over the last nine years. The term performance coaching first became famous in the United States where, together with NLP, it became part of a regenerated mind-blowing wave of hugely proactive therapy modalities.

In many ways both Coaching and Neuro Linguistic Programming are an answer against certain aspects of the person-centred therapy movement, in particular Humanistic Counselling. A problem of the human-centred therapy approach is that it is awfully reactive and not decidedly proactive. Although all that works great with some folk, with others long periods of impasse or low return for time and effort occur. Life coaching and Neuro Linguistic Programming are both person-centred therapy in stance, spending effort on improving a person?s smiles rather than delving into the minefields of childhood, like traditional psychoanalysis. Success coachings emphasis is, however, deliberately proactive and problem solving.

Lifestyle coaching is not about preaching to the client what to do. This is a common misconception. Some success coaches are somewhat successful in their business careers and then make the cross over to personal coaching, assuming that they will merely be required to share their pearls of astonishing business wisdom with the customer. Sharing pearls of wisdom is more like mentoring an apprentice in a specific environment. Performance coaching is instead about life as a collective.
