Neuro-Link Unclaimed

I have been coaching since 2009 and am now a Licensed Neuro-Link Brain profile Assessor. Using the NAP profiling as a tool in my coaching practice has opened up a fascinating new world of insight for me. I am passionate about human behaviour and why people behave as they do and I am a firm believer in the uniqueness of each of my coachees. The NAP profiling has taken the guess work out of how my coachee shows up in the world and how they process information. Having this amazing insight helps me to change my approach and my language, appropriate to their unique style. The NAP profile is beautifully laid out and extremely comprehensive with amazing graphics. Coachees are easily able to relate to the information and apply it to their lives. They experience “Ah-ha” moments when they understand their hindrances under stress and with this new self-awareness can learn to consciously recognise their triggers and “switch-on” their non-dominant brain hemisphere when experiencing a stressful situation. Understanding whether they are Receptive/Expressive and Rational/Emotional also brings new awareness and a discussion on how they can balance this out to achieve optimisation and enhanced performance. Understanding “how” they are intelligent brings relief to my coachees and a renewed sense of confidence in the realisation that they are completely unique in their makeup and can use their intelligence preference as a strength in their world rather than, in some cases, something that makes them feel “less than”. As a Coach, my challenge is to assist my coachee to optimise their performance both in their personal and their professional lives. Having a measure of their brain fitness through the brain drivers is a perfect “gap analysis” to give me the knowledge and insight of which areas to focus my coaching on. This speeds up the coaching process. Using the NAP profile in coaching has been hugely valuable in creating awareness around how we can consciously create neuroplasticity toward living with a fully integrated brain and to become the best possible version of ourselves.
