Introduction

Herein lies the hope for one of the more recent developments in coaching: the ability to provide clients with sufficient knowledge of their own thought processes so that they take 100 per cent responsibility for the outcome and accept the challenges, blocks, barriers and 'adversities' that arise. All good coaches at some point experience a client who has a block impeding performance, and those coaches who either broaden their training or experience, or who work in conjunction with other specialists, can and do have the largest positive impact with their clients. Neuro Linguistic Programming works to remove subconscious blockages to performance. Its principles operate at a more developmental level, aiming to assist each individual to be more consciously aware of their own thought processes. For the Motivational Maps have provided a language and metrics in which motivation can be described, measured, monitored and maximised, and the invisible feelings and desires and aversions of the individual.
