Performance coaching is a type of therapy that has become very familiar over the last 7 years. The term lifestyle coaching first became beloved in the United States where, together with NLP, it became part of a regenerated outstanding wave of profoundly proactive therapy techniques.

In many ways both Life Coaching and NLP are a reaction against certain variants of the human-centred therapy movement, in particular Person-Centred Counselling. A criticism of the humanistic and person centred approach is that it is truly reactive and not decidedly proactive. Although all that works marvellous with some clients, with other folk long periods of impasse or low return for time and effort occur. Performance coaching and NLP are both human-centred therapy in stance, focusing on improving a person?s well-being rather than looking into the depths of childhood, like traditional therapy. Success coachings emphasis is, however, deliberately proactive and resolve issues. Stop smoking easily with a lifestyle coach.

Lifestyle coaching is not about preaching to the customer what to do. This is a common misconception. Some performance coaches are comparatively successful in their business careers and then make the cross over to personal coaching, thinking that they will at most be required to share their pearls of phenomenal wisdom with the customer. This is more like mentoring an apprentice in a specific environment. Lifestyle coaching is instead about life as a collective.
