Martin Johnson NLP coach / life coach / IEMT Practitioner

Making a true difference is what drives me. Drawing from a professional career in excess of 35 years, I bring a reality and intense focus to the coaching, training and facilitation work I do with my clients - and that's why they seek me out and continue to recommend me." Martin Johnson

I’m Martin Johnson and I work with individuals and organisations to support them to achieve growth and fulfil their maximum potential.

Being average is simply not an option for me. I invest continually in my own development, I challenge myself continually, and I continually adapt and enhance the way I work with my clients, bringing new ideas, approaches and staying fresh - so that I help them think and act differently to increase their success.

Who I work with

I work with people from age 14 to 70. Each phase in life brings it's own challenges and opportunities.

'The NLP life coach that people trust to work with their loved ones':
I often find that my clients and contacts will ask me to work with other members of their family. A mother might ask me to work with her son or daughter. Or a daughter I coach in business, may recommend me to a parent. They do this because they place great trust in my ability and skill to work with their loved ones and they know they will be in safe hands.

My clients are seeking experienced and impartial support to help them think and act differently to meet the many challenges and opportunities they face.

They want to continue their own professional development, find greater balance and stretch and enhance their strengths so they can be confident they truly are working and living at their best.

My core influences - methodologies and tools to succeed

My core influences and principles include:

Coaching - focusing on, acknowledging and developing the innate capabilities of others.
Kaizen - the principle of small, sustainable steps (and how to avoid the pitfalls of the 'panic zone').
Lean thinking - getting to the core of the issue, streamlining, working smart.
The 80/20 Principle - less is more; clarity; focus on what's most important.
NeuroLingusitic Programming (NLP) - awareness and tools to manage and develop our relationships, communication, understanding and influence; knowing how to adapt and enhance the patterns of our behaviours, thoughts and the results we achieve.
Neuroscience - how our brains work. I also study various aspects of psychotherapy which provide insights into facilitating changes in thinking, unconscious awareness and the vast potential of our human minds.
Building high performance teams (I'm a Belbin Team Roles Accredited Practitioner).

Emotional Intelligence - knowing how our own behaviours affect us and those we live and work with, and how to manage this positively.
Design and communication - a background as a communications specialist and designer ensures I'm always thinking about the wider picture, inter-relationships and how to bring people's hearts and minds with you.
Outcome focus - clarity, visibility and understanding of goals, so that we work on what's important!
Strengths focus - working on the path of possibility; differentiating between limiting and allowable weaknesses; creating a strengths based culture. I'm an Accredited Strengthscope Partner.
Process - understanding how things work systemically and using systems to capture, automate and streamline operations.
And most of all - ACCOUNTABILITY - encouraging others to take ownership, follow-through, stay aligned to the goals and enjoy the satisfaction and achievement they get from this.
