COACHING PRODUCTIVITY

While we have, in Neuro-Semantics, an entire training on Unleashing Productivity, and while that was based on the book, Achieving Peak Performance, there is a lot more to say about being productive. So my plan is that in a year or two, I will produce another book on the subject, Inside-Out Productivity. Until then I have my eye peeled for the many aspects of productivity. Recently I came across the realization that productivity is not merely about setting goals, it is about a particular kind of highly intelligent goal-setting.

For Meta-Coaches that explains why we always start a coaching session by facilitating a goal setting conversation: “What do you want? Why is that important?” We do that because as we humans have known for a long time, “without vision, the people perish.” And since the 1960s Gary Latham (University of Toronto) and Edwin Locke (University of Maryland), “the godfathers of goal-setting theory” discovered what we now consider obvious truth: Establishing goals boosts performance, increases motivation, and results in greater productivity.
