Business Performance Coaching

Most professionals are not using their natural strengths and talents.  They are operating out of a Life Manual that doesn’t fit their values.  As a result, their careers are unrewarding and it's likely that their income suffers.  The good news is, Michael helps professionals improve their outlook, satisfaction and future.  We will look at what you do now, discover what you really want more of, learn why you don’t have it yet, and develop steps to get what you want.  It’s really quite simple.

"If you are having any doubts about your business; if you want to increase your ability to communicate with your audience; if you want to improve your approach or want to be more successful, you should visit with Michael Lovas.  He has unique attributes combined with the ability to teach those attributes to you.  In only a few minutes time, Michael was able to interpret my short falls and turn them into strengths with amazing simplicity.

Michael became a friend and mentor after only a couple of sessions.  We were able to talk about business problems--the kind of problems we all have in the financial business--dissect those problems, tie solutions to them and put those solutions into action in short order.

After the first session I was given an assignment.  Michael told me to phone 6 or 7 of the people I would like to meet with, and using the approach he taught me, to make an appointment with them.  Now, before I go on, you have to realize this;  I was getting about a 7 or 8% response rate on my calls, so to make 8 appointments, I had to call about 100 people, and then I'd have about 2 or 3 no-shows.

I got on the phone the next day and called 8 people using the approach that Michael said to use, and I made 8 appointments.  I started having so much fun making appointments that I called 5 more people that morning and made (you guessed it) 5 more appointments.  That's 13 phone calls in about 40 minutes and 13 appointments.  Over the next few days, I called about 20 more people and have made 20 more appointments.  So I am batting 1000 with Michael's help.  Oh, by the way, I have since met with those people and I have not had a single no-show.  Not one.

And, not only that, I have learned how to approach people in such a way that they let down their defenses and I am able to communicate with them in an open and caring way and they share with me their concerns, freely.  What a change in attitude I have had in my business life.  It is wonderful.

Michael is teaching me other communication methods, as well, like how to read people in just a couple of minutes so you can tell how they should be approached. 

If you want to super-charge your practice and if you want methods of dealing with people that work, then you need to talk to Michael Lovas.  You will find like I did that he is truly amazing.

 Business Presentation Coaching

Sales professionals make the same mistake – they rely on facts and content to make sales.  Unfortunately, facts and content appeal to only 10% of the prospect’s (or audience’s) mind.  This is Michael’s area of specialty.  He teaches professionals how to connect with the prospect’s (or audience’s) emotions, make the presentation relevant, and turn curiosity into activity.

 

Credibility.  Michael conducts private coaching and quarterly seminars on Psychological Persuasion for Presentations.  He regularly delivers keynotes on this all over the US and Canada.  And, his columns include some of the most provocative how-to teachings on the psychology of presentations. 

 

Personal “Life Strategies” Coaching

Approximately half the population sets goals.  The other half prefers to remain flexible.  Both approaches are strategies.  Applied to your personal life, it’s the Big Picture that guides you into getting more of what you want.  Let’s call this “Macro-Strategic Living.”  Your Macro Strategies are personal and unique to you.  Michael helps you identify them.  Then he helps you map the steps to living the life you want.  

 

See what clients are saying about Michael's Life Strategies Coaching:
"I've found that obstacles to living at a greater level fulfillment are found within the habits of thought that have carefully settled into my psyche over the years. Subconscious patterns preventing me from approaching life with renewable zest and alternative perspectives. This is where Michael Lovas comes in. 

Michael has mastered an array of tools of empowerment, and honed a skill set of mental reprogramming techniques that he artfully applies in his coaching sessions. For me, he effortlessly unearthed the core of a haunting limitation that had taken root within my thoughts, and guided me through an amazing session that has removed the limitation to reveal a new realm of creativity and interpersonal expression. 

I sincerely recommend enlisting Michael's assistance to anyone who wants to open inner doorways they may not even realize are limiting their attainment of personal goals, greater health, and zeal for living."

FAQs about
Mi
chael Lovas

 

Is Michael certified?

Yes.  Michael holds two prestigious certifications.  He is a board-certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and he has attained the level of Master Practitioner of Neuro-linguistic Programming.  In addition, Michael holds a B.S. (with honors) in Human Relations in Business.  

 

What experience does Michael have in self-development?

Michael has been a communication consultant for fifteen years.  Since 1995, he has been a self-development facilitator and coach.  Sometimes, the most effective path includes hypnosis.  Sometimes, the most effective path includes listening and giving objective feedback.  Always, the most effective path requires flexibility.

 

What does Michael do as a coach?

Any credible coach is a professional who has a great deal of training and experience and flexibility to apply specific psychological activities.  He asks, “What do you want more of?”  That’s when you begin your journey.

 

First, you talk and he listens to you.  Meanwhile, he recognizes what is not being said.  Next, he presents his findings to you, and the two of you determine how to proceed so you can get what you want more of.  

 

Is Michael a traditional psychotherapist?

No.  Traditional psychotherapy is not what people come to Michael for.  A psychotherapist normally employs “talk therapy” to help people who suffer from mental or emotional disorders.  Michael is different;  he helps people who want to improve.  If you like Dr. Phil McGraw, you’ll love Michael.  Both talk straight and get the point as quickly as possible.  

 

Does Michael do telephone sessions?

Yes.  Each session lasts 50 minutes.  Rarely can significant improvement occur in only one session, so the initial “package” includes three sessions. 

 

How can I pay Michael?

You can send a check or put the fees on a major credit card.

 

How do I know if this is what I want right now?

Easy.  Just call and talk.  It’s free.  It’s possible that coaching with Michael is not the solution for you, but you can’t find out how to proceed unless you call:  214.366.0919.  You can also email Michael @ michael@aboutpeople.com
