NLP Coaching: An Evidence-Based Approach for Coaches, Leaders and Individuals

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) has become a common approach in the coaching industry, but many are still skeptical about it being a substantive and coherent methodology.

This book is the first to look at NLP coaching as an evidence-based discipline. Susie Linder-Pelz describes how NLP coaching works, using examples and case studies to highlight what distinguishes it from other coaching approaches. She briefs readers on the theoretical underpinnings of NLP, and she explains which aspects of NLP can be backed with evidence and which aspects are not yet substantiated. A set of research questions helps coaches understand when and how to use NLP.
"Linder-Pelz, an NLP coach, reflects on whether neurolinguistic programming (NLP) as a distinctive methodology deserves to be taken seriously by coaching professionals. The book defines NLP coaching and evaluates its effectiveness in comparison with other cognitive behavioral and solution-focused coaching models and methods. It explains how and when NLP coaching is used, looks at distinctions between NLP coaching and NLP practice, evaluates the empirical evidence on NLP, and questions aspects of NLP where empirical evidence is lacking. Case studies and real-life examples show how NLP fits into the wider field of psychology." -- Book News Inc.
