Why Perceptual Style is the Key to Coaching Excellence

If you’ve ever worked with a client who seemed resistant to your methods, struggled to follow through, or failed to connect with your coaching approach, the issue might not be motivation — it might be perception.

  • Build trust and rapport quickly by understanding how clients naturally see the world.

  • Adapt your coaching techniques to align with each client’s strengths and problem-solving strategies.

  • Improve communication and reduce misunderstandings by speaking in a way that resonates with their natural style.

  • Help clients leverage their strengths instead of struggling against their natural tendencies.

  • Offer a structured, research-backed framework that sets your coaching apart from competitors.

  • Portrait of Allison Rapp sharing her testimonial on using Perceptual Style in coaching

    "Before I started using Perceptual Styles with my coaching clients, it took too long to figure out why certain things I recommended just didn't work for them. Sometimes, it was like pulling hen's teeth, because I just couldn't even get them to try things I knew would make a huge difference." 

    "Now that my clients start with the PSA, I have the information I need to tailor my recommendations so that they'll not only be accepted, but extremely effective! "

    "The PSA is so accurate that my clients think I've read their minds! "

    "They're really grateful to know that I'm not going to waste their time with suggestions that won't work 'for them' and I feel more confident, knowing that what I suggest is right for them. If you need faster results with your clients, I suggest you to find out more about Perceptual Styles Coaching "

    "It gives you the information and tools to make your coaching brilliance obvious to your clients from the get-go! "

  • ortrait of Frank Harward sharing his testimonial about team dynamics and coaching success

    "I met Lynda-Ross over 6 years ago when we worked together deliver a huge project for a Financial Services Firm. The project was complicated and required team building, executive communication, varied technology solutions, and buy-in from a skeptical set of future users. Lynda-Ross introduced me to Perceptual Style and suggested we train the project team on Perceptual Style principles." 

    "After taking the first training class, I was hooked. Suddenly, I was making better decisions for the team and individuals. Knowing the Perceptual Style of each team member helped me look at each other differently - focusing on their individual strengths! The impact was amazing. Morale and productivity improved significantly, and the once-failing project was transformed into a critical success. I rely on Perceptual Style in all my management and coaching activities."
