February 3, 2023 by John

pace lead nlp coach communicateWhat is Pacing and Leading?

Pacing and leading is the concept of aligning and establishing rapport, then leading the interaction in a more useful direction or towards a particular goal.  We do this by using the skills of mirroring/matching, aligning with breathing and rhythm, using our listening skills for honoring another person’s experience of reality, then leading the conversation and interaction to the intended outcome using our precise language skills.

Throughout the Spencer Institute Life Strategies Coach Certification the focus is on establishing relationship for powerful and respectful communication.  In this assignment we present many of the non-verbal ways to contribute to rapport.  Rapport happens naturally, and yet we want to be able to create it on purpose, maintain it throughout the inter-action, know how to respectfully break rapport, and when necessary, to re-establish the connection.

How Does Each Hemisphere of Our Brain Experience Life Differently?

January 30, 2023 by John

hemispheric interpretation of experiencesHemispheric Levels of Experience

Your brain has two hemispheres. Each one interprets the world differently. Each has different memories of vital life events. Each “codes” an experience differently. Sometimes, one image/memory always comes up first when you recall an event (good or bad).

Have you ever said, “I have half a mind to________.”

Or, have you ever said, “I’m my mind’s eye I see _______”.

If so, you were literally only using half your brain (and one eye) to get an image, gain an understanding, or recall an experience.

Here is more information about eye accessing cues all coaches will want to know.

The chart below is a template for the levels of awareness, experience and influence by which we connect and experience life. It is used as a diagnostic tool to discover at what level a problem or challenge might be and which hemisphere of the brain is more involved, then knowing which level to work with to bring the healing or resolution.  Becoming familiar with this template will enhance your understanding of the variety of processes, skills and techniques presented in this training at a structural level.  When we understand the structure of an experience or pattern – then can have control or influence on that structure.

how to tell waht people are thinking by their eyesThe Visual Sensory Modality of Thinking, Learning and Communicating

“Thinking” is processing information in the brain through pictures, sounds, feelings, smells and tastes.  In neuro-linguistics, we particularly pay attention to the Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic Modalities and generally blend Olfactory and Gustatory into the Kinesthetic awarenesses.  When gathering information to discover where a person is stuck or how to help them be the best they can be; being able to know how they are thinking is crucial.

Using Storytelling to Become a Better Public Speaker

January 20, 2023 by Liz Carter

Is Storytelling The Secret Ingredient to Making Any Speech More Memorable?

Communication is key to success in any endeavor. Whether it be a job interview, a presentation, or even a simple conversation, the ability to effectively communicate is paramount. Professional speaking helps to improve one’s communication skills by allowing them to practice their words and ideas in front of an audience. This not only helps to refine their communication skills but also helps to build confidence.

Confidence is a crucial element to success in any field. Public speaking helps to build confidence by providing a platform for one to practice their words and ideas. Having the ability to express oneself and engage with an audience allows one to gain a greater understanding of their own beliefs and opinions. This helps to build confidence and allows one to better express themselves in any situation.

What is storytelling?

Storytelling is a powerful tool for communication, teaching, and entertainment. It can involve using words, images, music, or any other medium to create a narrative or plot. The goal of storytelling is to evoke emotion and create an emotional connection between the storyteller and the audience. [Read more…]

Which Hormones are Involved with Stress?

January 18, 2023 by John

hormones stress responseStress can come from inside. It can be caused by our perception of events, rather than by the events themselves. A job transfer might be a horrible stress to one person, a magnificent opportunity to another. A lot depends on attitude.

But even when the stress is undeniably external — say, all your money was just skimmed — stress affects a host of changes inside our body.  More specifically, stress in all its many forms interferes with the body’s production of three very important hormones that help you feel balanced and “normal”: [Read more…]

how does the body respond to acute stressFundamentals of Stress and Acute Stress Responses

You have just rear-ended the car in front of you on the way to work, making you an hour late – only to miss an important meeting, then later you lose your keys somewhere on your commute.

But what about when you get a promotion at the office, or become engaged to the love of your life? Or, when you finally get the marriage proposal you have been waiting for? What about when you have allergies, or move your residence? Is it stressful to graduate from college, or start an exercise program, or binge on pizza? You know it is. [Read more…]

Student Success Stories

Becoming a Certified Life Strategies Coach at the Spencer Institute has been a great way for me to grow my coaching business. I really liked that I could work full time while learning life coaching on my own time schedule. Now I have coaching clients, and also attract more psychotherapy clients who choose me because I can offer coaching in addition to psychotherapy.
