YOU STAY IN LA-LA LAND

The next item on the list of things that could go wrong is “You don’t get specific, you stay in la-la land.” Here’s a mistake that many, many coaches make— their coaching is far, far too general. Actually, in terms of thinking and communicating effectively— this is the case with most people. And that’s why the NLP Communication Model is so effective and necessary if a person wants to be a professional communicator.

Recently when someone asked me why I wrote the book on Hypnotic Thinking, I said “because that is how we all think and how we get in trouble with our thinking.” We think hypnotically as we use trance-like words, unspecified nouns and verbs, nominalizations, and language patterns that typically assume ideas that actually create our confusions and misunderstandings. And you can expect clients to think and talk in these ways. That’s why they are sitting in your coaching chair and need your help to get specific.
