Performance coaching is a therapy that has become very popular over the last nine years. The term personal coaching first became likeable in the USA where, together with NLP aka Neuro Linguistic Programming, it became part of a new and improved marvellous wave of extraordinarily proactive therapy models.

In many ways both Personal Coaching and NLP are an answer against certain aspects of the Humanistic therapy movement, in particular Human-Centred Counselling. A criticism of the human-centred therapy approach is that it is remarkably reactive and not terribly proactive. Although this works awesome with some people, with others long periods of no exit in sight or low return for time and effort occur. Life coaching and NLP are both person-centred therapy in stance, spending time on improving a customers smiles rather than looking into the minefields of childhood, like traditional psychology. Their emphasis is, however, deliberately proactive and problem solving.

Performance coaching is not about telling the client what to do. This is a common misconception. Some success coaches are justifiably successful in their business careers and then make the cross over to coaching, thinking that they will merely be required to share their pearls of excellent success and wisdom with the customer. Sharing pearls of wisdom is more like mentoring an apprentice in a specific environment. Success coaching is instead about life as a holistic view.
