Go From Being A Good To A Great Coach

To An Exceptional Coach


Hone the ability to really change people.

With your average coach, a people's challenges are met with well-intentioned encouragement and aphorisms or slogans designed to motivate and give solace. A great coach helps their client to find the resources in themselves to rise above their challenges and grow from them. And exceptional coach incisively gets down to the core, operational mechanism that created the challenge in the first place and helps their client make GENERATIVE change across contexts.

Doug O’Brien is a master teacher, offering skills that will have a huge impact on your life. He has a wonderful way of making the complex easy for people to grasp."

Impeccable professional expertise and integrity… Rarely have I seen a teacher or trainer consistently demonstrate a caring that is equal to his skill as Doug O’Brien."

Dr. Robert Bays

Author of The 'Five Lessons of Relationship

"Doug’s Sense Of Humor -
I especially enjoy his sense of humor, how he combines compassion with a lighthearted spirit. He sees the bigger picture of life, & focuses not on problems, but on solutions.He not only gets results, but everyone has a good time getting them."

Dan Millman

Anthony Robbins

Author of 'Unlimited Power' and 'Awaken the Giant Within'

"Professionally Endorsed -
I don’t recommend many trainers or practitioners, but Doug O'Brien is as good as it gets when it comes to hypnosis and hypnotherapy – great tonality, really creative content and a precision with language that is all too rare in the field of Hypnosis and NLP. As well as these skills he is probably the best trainer in the world today on Sleight of Mouth and his Sleight of Mouth products are some of the very few I would recommend to my clients."

Nick Kemp

Founder of 'Provocative Change Works' and 'The Association of Provocative Therapy"

"Teaching & Hypnosis -
Since dropping out of the teaching game I had really gotten out of touch. It was nice to see someone like Doug in action. The Hypno-biz is passing into good hands."

Dr. Steven Heller

Author of 'Monsters and Magical Sticks'

"Recommending Doug O’Brien -
I Highly recommend Doug O’Brien of Doug O’Brien and Associates. He is continually updating and training with the most up-to-date skills I have developed."

Richard Bandler

"I have known Doug O’Brien for many years and have been consistently impressed with his skill and integrity. Doug is one of the rare teachers who is able to integrate NLP and Ericksonian hypnosis, so that students develop both conscious and unconscious competence.
