Coaching is one of the best jobs to have, but only if you like to help people succeed in their own life by discovering their own resources.
It takes off in the US, but is not yet that common in Asia. The challenge for many is that it is easy to hang out a sign claiming to be a coach, as there are no educational requirement.
This coach here, yours truly, coaches with Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP, Timeline and Hypnotherapy, all certified.
In addition, I had my good share in leading teams to success in the corporate world, and I am still heading a global project in the US$5 million range (which is a lot for a Malaysian company).
So, why not give it a trial? Let's talk - what have you got to lose?

Stars are born early - with the support of parents
How do you know that your child is on its way to become a star? Well, this discussion is always of interest. Is it better to have both parents around, do you trust your maid to take care of your children, is short but intensive quality time better than quantity time that is wasted in front of the TV? Or how beneficial is it to send your child from one tuition center to the next?
"The seeds of their success (the ones who became stars later on) were sown long before they started ninth grade. The survey results, based on 72% of the 378 winners responding, are telling in terms of their family lives:
• 94% said they grew up in homes with both a mother and a father.
• 57% of their fathers had doctorates, and 58% of their mothers had a master's degree or doctorate. More than 95% of the fathers and 91% of the mothers had at least a bachelor's degree, and 100% of the parents had at least a high school diploma.
• In 43% of the families, only one parent worked outside the home for the majority of the student's school years."
"What's most significant is the way parents live and demonstrate that they value education. In the survey, parental involvement/influence was rated "very important" to their high school success by 81% of the respondents — slightly more than "personal work ethic" (79%), "finding an activity I was passionate about" (77%) and "a great teacher or mentor" (74%)."
So, when was the last time you spent time with your children, guided them, taught them something and didn't just shut them up? In short, it is not just quantity that you need to spend but quality that you give.
In fact, as younger the children are, as more valuable you are as a parent, because, that is the time when you instill values, and beliefs and all. And you don't want this to be taken over by television, a maid, or a nursery teacher that also teaches 15 or 20 other children?

If the world is full of opportunity ....
Ask yourself....
If the world is full of opportunities, and you have all the potential that there is how is it then possible that you end up with the same job, the same salary level, the same type of girlfriend or boyfriend or partner, the same problems and issues, the same frustrations, over and over and over again?
Are we limiting ourselves by running the same internal programs again and again and again? How often did you look back, sighing, to say, "yeah, I should have known", or "not again."
Isn't it time to review your life, identify the triggers that cause the repetition?
Isn't it high time for change?

Miracle Questions
NLP has something that is called the miracle question.
And, following:
Or:
Think it through and then, think through what holds you back from acting as if there were no problems. Because, remember, problems are mostly created in our mind. When you look back in your life, how many times did insurmountable simply disappear because ... you just did what you needed to do.
To think "As If" also helps to stimulate your own creativity as it stimulates the neurology in your brain. Think about it!

"Just imagine that tonight while you are asleep there is a miracle and the problems that haunt you currently suddenly disappear. What would be the first thing you noticed that would let you know the miracle had happened?"
And, following:
"Following the miracle that happened over night, what would you do differently in your life?"
Or:
"Imagine, you could not fail, that there is no failure in your endeavour. What would you do, how would you act?"
Think it through and then, think through what holds you back from acting as if there were no problems. Because, remember, problems are mostly created in our mind. When you look back in your life, how many times did insurmountable simply disappear because ... you just did what you needed to do.

Agatha Christie's hypnotic language
Hypnosis and the achievement of trance are fascinating topics. However, frequently, we are not aware of being put into trance or into a suggestible mode.
Drive on the road for a period of time and you will not realise that this is already creating a trance-induced state of mind. Watch TV for too long and the same is happening - you are in trance. What about the sleepiness after lunch? Nothing but a state close to trance as well.
In fact, it has been estimated that we go into trance every 90 minutes.
There was now an experiment carried out by scientists from universities in London, Birmingham and Warwick for an ITV1 documentary. These guys analysed more than 80 novels by Agatha Christie and found out that her phrases trigger a pleasure response which cause people to seek them out again and again. The study involved loading Christie's novels onto a computer and analysing her words, sentences and phrases.
One researcher said that "Christie's language patterns stimulate higher than usual activity in the brain."
"These phrases included "can you keep an eye on this", "more or less", "a day or two" and "something like that"." In addition, Agatha Christie also used a limited amount of words that made it easy to fully concentrate on her books without distraction - resulting of her being the most successful author of all times.

NLP - the AlwaysWoW! Way
NLP has been defined as the “Art and Science of Personal Excellence” –this is the shortest and most succinct definition that I found.
Another is that NLP is the “Structure of Subjective Experience”. Different people give different meanings to the same event and all experiences are filtered through our own values and beliefs. Simply put, what someone sees as bad and disturbing might not bother another person at all.
NLP’s tools and processes assist individuals and companies to create awareness and more choice in their environment. It provides the learning to develop potential and create success – or, even helps you to create your future. It does so by unpacking your own internal structure, beliefs and values and helps to recreate experiences from different points of view.
If you, for example, lack the confidence to face a situation, NLP is helping you to discover “confidence” in you, and creates the anchor that you can live and be “confident” whenever you want.
In short, it helps to discover internal resources that are needed to overcome challenges – in my speak: To create the WoW in Life.
