Local Hypnotist Expands Practice to Offer Personal Coaching

Portland, ME, July 31, 2008 --(PR.com)-- "In any job, your pay is dependent on your performance. A coach can help give you the edge you need in today's competitive job market to perform at your best." says local hypnotist and personal coach Robert Monteux. "Star athletes, CEOs, and successful business owners all hire coaches to help them fine-tune their skills. Salespeople, professionals, entrepreneurs – anyone who wants to reach their goals – can benefit from hiring a personal coach. People are seeking better lives for themselves: a personal coach helps them achieve that life."

Monteux, who is a Consulting Hypnotist and Personal Coach certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists, has recently changed the name of his practice to Portland Hypnotherapy & Coaching. "Although I've been a hypnotist for over ten years, I recently added Personal Coaching to my services because after clients had overcome the issues that brought them to me for hypnosis, they were asking me if I could help them with other issues in their lives - issues like stress, motivation, procrastination, burnout and achieving goals. I am now coaching clients from across the country and around the world by telephone and email. As a coach, my job is to provide support to enhance the skills, resources, and creativity that the client already has, and to hold them accountable to the commitment they have made for their own success. And as a Hypnotist, the advantage I bring to Coaching is my understanding of the importance of changing how a person thinks, both consciously and subconsciously. My background in sales, and growing up in the theatre, gives me an understanding of what it takes to perform at high levels, to be a professional. My clients are accomplished professionals including salespeople, business owners and performance artists."

Coaching is exploding around the world. Personal coaching is one the fastest growing professions in the U.S., and has been written about in Fortune Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, and featured on all the major news networks and television talk shows. If you are looking for a coach, Robert Monteux says it is important to interview prospective coaches to find one who is a fit for you, "When you hire a coach you are engaging a partner in your personal success. Most professional coaches will offer a complementary initial session for you to experience the power of personal coaching and to see if the two of you will be able to work together."
