Neil Sykes
“I have just completed six coaching sessions with Neil Sykes that culminated in a superb NLP session yesterday. Neil is a wonderfully empathic, highly professional coach whom I would highly recommend. His carefully structured work held and directed my overwrought mind gently and insistently, enabling me to see helpful ways ahead for my work. Thank you Neil.”
Coaching Profile/Biography:
After 28 years working in the consumer insights sector in London, I decided the time had come to make a radical change and pursue the two elements of my lived experience that I have always loved the most – people, and innovation. And then to practice them in the place I have always loved – Scotland. So now I run a small innovation coaching consultancy in the Highlands.
I have always been fascinated by how people tick, so much so that ten years ago I embarked on a journey into NLP; over the years I became a Practitioner of NLP, then a Master Practitioner and Therapist and latterly, a certified trainer. For those unfamiliar with NLP, it examines how we structure our experiences and get the outcomes we currently get. Whatever we do in life, we are going to get an outcome, so how about having more of the outcomes we want – this is where NLP really helps.
It focuses on the positive energy of motivation, well-formed outcomes, increased choices, personal values, and identity, and any session will usually start with ‘Why are you here, and what do you want (instead)?’ In short, NLP is how we can use the language of the mind to consistently achieve our specific and desired outcomes.
My favourite learning is drawn from a quote by Sophia Bush the American actor who said, ‘You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress simultaneously’. It is this learning that inspires me to continue working on me, and I encourage all those I engage with to do the same.
