Review of From Coach to Awakener by Robert Dilts
This is a must read book if you’re either aspiring to be a life coach or have an interest in NLP. Dilts lays out and explains in detail his NeuroLogical paradigm and the different levels within it. He also provides exercises that the coach or NLP practitioner can use in his or her practices that demonstrate how each level of the neurological paradigm impacts a client.
What’s really helpful as well is that Dilts shows how this paradigm relates to the coaching practice and the different types of coaching that can be done, depending on the NeuroLogical level the coach engages the client in. There is a nice balance between theory and practice, enough so that anyone who uses this book will get a lot out of it no matter what the use is for.
The only drawback to this book is a minor one, and it has more to do with the style of writing…This can be a fairly technical book to read. While Dilts does a good job of laying the concepts out, I suggest taking your time to read the book and expect to go back and reread it again. He presents a lot of information and it needs to be processed mindfully.
