In this segment of Time We Discuss, we speak with Cami, a certified professional performance coach and NLP practitioner. She discusses the role of performance coaching and neurolinguistic programming (NLP). She explains that performance coaching involves helping individuals achieve their goals through questioning, reflective listening, and accountability rather than telling them what to do. NLP, on the other hand, focuses on modeling excellence in humans and changing neurological patterns to break habits and achieve desired outcomes. Cami distinguishes NLP from hypnosis, highlighting how both induce trance-like states but differ in their approach and level of direction.

She also delves into the structure of coaching engagements, typically lasting three months with a focus on specific outcomes. Cami emphasizes the importance of formal coach training programs, recommending live programs lasting six months to a year for comprehensive skill development. She discusses certification, noting the difference between program certification and certification through organizations like the International Coach Federation (ICF). Additionally, Cami reflects on the suitability of coaching as a career, suggesting that it's best suited for individuals who enjoy helping others and listening, rather than those who prefer giving directives and seeing others follow them.

Cami speaks of common challenges faced by clients in achieving their goals within coaching, emphasizing the underlying beliefs and internal barriers that may hinder progress. She highlights the nuanced nature of coaching, where individuals may not immediately achieve their desired results but gain self-awareness and empowerment through the process. Cami discusses the significance of addressing the sabotaging voice and navigating psychological barriers like imposter syndrome. Additionally, she clarifies the similarities between life coaching and Transformative Coaching Essentials, showcasing her year-long program's immersive approach to personal and professional development.
