Coaching Approach.

James’ coaching approach is to keep things simple and focused. We first determine what your goals are over the course of the coaching engagement and establish benchmarks to evaluate success. Then we work together to create a strategic plan on how to reach these goals by asking the right questions, providing new perspectives and pointing out negative recurring patterns of behavior.

As a Personal Coach, James acts as a catalyst for success, providing you with the tools, strategies and techniques to create real change in behavior, support you to practice the new behaviors and keep you accountable in order to sustain the changes and achieve measurable results.

James’ clients refer to his work as “pragmatic, insightful, collaborative, genuinely supportive and focused on sustainable results.”

The Coaching Advantage .

Extensive Experience

Having coached full time for the past 21 years, James has conducted over 30,000 coaching sessions and has helped over 1,200 clients make more money, expand their business, transition out of their current job or career, increase their personal effectiveness, motivation and focus, communicate more effectively in their business and personal lives and eliminate common issues such as procrastination, overwhelm, self-doubt, lack of direction and lack of motivation.

James’s background as a former Anthony Robbins Results Coach®, Master Practitioner of NLP, Time Line Therapy®, and Hypnosis, and his extensive experience on the ground enables him to quickly identify and address the real issues preventing his clients from getting what they want rather than spend endless sessions focusing on the symptoms of the problem. Being able to see patterns of behavior quickly means his clients get results quicker and get results that stick.

Unique backgrounds and training

Formerly an Anthony Robbins Results Coach® for over a decade, James Murphy is also a Master Practitioner of NLP, Time Line Therapy®, and Hypnosis. As a result, James’s coaching approach is genuinely supportive and direct.

He focuses is on real world, practical strategies and advice you can use immediately so you can move from thinking about your problems to taking action to solve them. The emphasis is on creating immediate change in your brain to eliminate negative thoughts and beliefs in order to create new behaviors.

Availability and accessibility when it counts

Because James runs a full time coaching practice, he is able to offer prompt support. Many coaches find it difficult to fill their practices and therefore end up coaching part time while maintaining another full time occupation.

In contrast, James offers Executive Coaching and Personal Coaching services full time and is able to respond and address your problems whenever they come up.
