NLPBC Philosphy, Approach and Criteria for Predicting Success
Individuals don't need to be “fixed”; they need to expand their behavioral flexibility and develop skills in responding to situations.
The individual's current behavior isn't “wrong”; it is appropriate in somecontext and should be restricted to that context.
The individual is rarely solely responsible for the “problem”; there are usually systemic/organizational factors which need to be examined and addressed.
The following conditions are predictors of success in any coaching engagement:
The individual wants to increase his/her flexibility.
The individual understands the importance of increasing his/her flexibility in dealing with management/interpersonal situations.
The individual's manager supports the coaching process, and is willing to provide ongoing coaching after the engagement is completed.
The Human Resources/Personnel manager supports the coaching process, and is willing to help identify and address organizational/personnel core issues which will impact the individual's ability to successfully change his/her behavior.
