What is Virtual Self Coaching?

For years I've noticed that a certain amount of our clients that have attended our classes also buy NLP books and tapes and try to learn more about it.  Many would use the processes we taught them later on their own with good results.  Since then, I have focused not just on coaching my clients but also on teaching them on how to improve their skill level at helping themselves. 

This goes with the saying, "Feed someone a fish and you feed them once, teach them how to fish and you feed them for a lifetime."

What Virtual Self Coaching membership site is designed to do is both coach someone step by step through an NLP process so that they get a "shift" now, and teach them how to do it themselves so that they can cause themselves to get a "shift" anytime they want from now on.

What is Virtual Self Coaching for Real Estate Agents?

The two main portions have to do with something called "Call Reluctance"© and "Numbers Coaching". 

The section on Call Reluctance, called, "Fearless Marketing",  helps you to understand what it is, if you have any type of it, and gives you  processes to eliminate it so that you can prospect, market, and promote your business comfortably and effectively.

The Numbers Coaching section called, "Perpetual Pipeline", provides forms and software so that you learn your numbers that help you to reach your goals.

Should I get one-on-one coaching too?

Yes.  No matter who you are if you have an objective coach that is trained in putting you on the right track and helping you to stay there it is worth a lot in a career where you can be paid what you're worth.

My coaching is not on contract. You're not forced to continue once you start.  The best way to find out if coaching is something that you will benefit from is simply to try it.  As long as I have openings in my calendar you're welcome to try one of the packages to see if it works for you or not.  If I currently don't have any openings, contact me and let me know that you're interested and I'll put you on a waiting list so if and when a current client should ever stop you can be notified.

You say coaching isn't for everyone. What do you mean?

Actually, coaching is for everyone, but, not everyone is ready for it.  If you're not really ready to change your thinking, beliefs, behaviors, or feelings no matter what a coach does to help you, you would find a way to stop the shift.  You're really the one that makes the changes, your coach is just skilled at using tools to help you to help yourself.

A good coach doesn't coach just anyone.  They may give the prospective client a chance, but very quickly they will stop the coaching if it isn't working for the client.  But, it's always with an invitation to come back when the client is ready for it.

What is Life Coaching?  Do you provide Business Coaching for non-real estate agents?

Life coaching is the use of tools and models such as NLP for personal matters such as weight, health, and relationships.  I've yet to coach an agent that doesn't want life coaching too at some point.  

Yes, we provide coaching services to both non agents and to other business people including loan officers, entrepreneurs, sales people, brokers, team leaders, and business owners.

Yes, we work with physical health issues.  Please see our disclaimer.

I don't know if I want to talk about my issues or tell others private things.

One of the real advantages to using NLP is that it is best done without one single bit of story, content, or information shared with the coach.  It's amazing, but true.  Your NLP coach actually does better knowing as little as possible of the content. 

Remember, this is not therapy, and it's certainly not "talk therapy".   Your privacy, safety, and comfort levels always come first.

On the occasion that the client feels strongly compelled to reveal content, complete confidentiality is the promise.  Nothing you say is repeated in any way at any time to anyone without your permission.  Ever.

Who is Dale Diaz?

Thought you'd never ask.  I'm a retired agent that loves to coach others to meet their goals.  My real estate license is still active in the state of Utah mainly for the referrals. 

I've done well selling real estate and I know what it's like to be in a slump.  I know the realities of the business and so I can empathize with my clients fully.  However, I'm well trained at not giving opinions at what I think you should be doing or not doing.  I use your unique personality and help you to discover the answers and solutions to your challenges from within you.

What is your favorite real estate company?

They're all good.  I never promote one company over another.  If you have decided to interview different offices on your own, I'm happy to coach your state of mind and help you explore what you want in a company and how to get it but I never direct, steer, or lead an agent to any one company.  Nor do I want the online forums used to promote companies.  Brokers everywhere trust to send agents under their care to me.  I stay uninvolved in office selection. Please read my Broker Promise.

What is NLP?

NLP stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming. 

Basically, it is a study of how human neurology - the mind, can be "programmed" similar to a computer, or "de-programmed", linguistically.  Linguistics meaning; language, communication, scripts, and words.

The whole purpose originally was to study excellence and then imitate it.  The founders, Richard Bandler and John Grinder, had the philosophy that most "Change Agents", such as psychologists and therapists, studied how to NOT function at ones best; they studied "failure" and then wondered why they found it so difficult to point their client toward "success" ... they didn't really know what "success" was.  They proved that the real study is to study successful people then apply, imitate, and model what they do.  Modern terms now being used to describe this human technology is 'Modeling', and more recently, 'Human Engineering'.

It's amazing that we as humans respond so predictably to certain communication.  NLP creates systems and models to explain and apply those models pragmatically to improve ones direction and provide more choices.

There's an abundance of books and internet information on NLP please feel free to Google search it to learn more.

What Dale does with Set Intent Training and Coaching along with Virtual Self Coaching Membership is put it all in one neat package so that achievement oriented producers can focus on producing instead of searching, reading and trying to learn how to figure it all out on their own.  Set Intent clients look to their coach to consult with them on marketing strategies as well as help them to stay motivated and effective by applying the latest in psychological technologies including NLP.

Do you use hypnotism?

No.  NLP and hypnotism are often taught at the same colleges and schools because the students are interested on learning how to influence the sub-conscious and un-conscious part of the mind but they are not the same thing.

NLP basically says, you don't need to be in a deep hypnotic trance to cause shift at an unconscious level.  Words artfully constructed alone causes changes in our thinking all day long.  Tonality, expectations, attitudes, beliefs, presuppositions, metaphors and much more are all involved in causing the mind to be influenced.  NLP is a study of using those tools without so-called hypnotism as most people would define it.

What is Word Medicine and Word Drugs?

A creation by Dale that causes amazing results by simply reading for a few minutes.  Word Medicine has proven itself over the last eight years.  Instead of using his voice to guide you to having choice and helping you adopt winning beliefs, Dale uses words for you to read.

Word Drugs uses the latest audio technologies to convert Word Medicine into fast acting potent solo coaching sessions.  You listen to the words as binary beats, often called, 'brain entrainment', slow down your brain waves to a relaxed alpha pattern so that you easily and quickly respond to the direction.  No subliminal messages or deep hypnotic trances are used.

Both Word Medicine and Word Drugs are used for optimistic thinking, boldness, serenity, prospecting motivation, forms of Call Reluctance©, lead generation,, weight loss, sleep, etc.
