/ 01The problem

Everyone has the same tools. Almost nobody is built to use them.

ChatGPT, Claude, automation platforms — the tools are sitting right there, and they're nearly free. Yet most businesses still run exactly like they did in 2019. The bottleneck isn't access. It's the operator.

Overwhelm. Skepticism. Perfectionism. The quiet fear of being replaced. Those live in your head, not in your software — and no subscription fixes them.

Here's the uncomfortable part: AI is an amplifier. Give it to a focused, clear-thinking operator and it compounds everything they do. Give it to a scattered one and it just makes the chaos faster.

AI doesn't fix a scattered mind.
It scales it.

/ 02The method

Two systems. One protocol.

01

Diagnose

PatternPrint · EQ Profile

We map both systems: the one in your head and the one in your business. The PatternPrint and EQ Growth Profile assessments plus a structured deep-dive put patterns, bottlenecks, beliefs, and workflows on the table.

Start step 01 now — it's free →
02

Rewire

NLP · Hypnosis

Using tools drawn from NLP and hypnosis, we change the patterns that actually run your behavior — the fear, the procrastination, the resistance to change. Not motivation. Rewiring.

03

Systemize

AI · Automation

Then we build. AI workflows, automations, and operating systems designed around how you actually work — so the technology serves the business instead of becoming another distraction.

04

Compound

Weekly 1-on-1

Weekly private sessions keep both systems improving. Accountability, iteration, and a coach in your corner until clarity and leverage become your default state.

// Field guide — your patterns

Every pattern you can't see, you repeat.

Self-knowledge isn't soft. It's leverage.

The attachment style that picks your conflicts for you. The values driving decisions you think are logical. The wiring that explains why you start strong and fade. Most people white-knuckle against patterns they've never actually mapped — and lose.

PatternPrint maps them in one sitting: fourteen sections, your named archetype, your superpowers, what's holding you back, and the three things to do about it. Once a pattern has a name, it loses its autopilot power.

/ 03The diagnostics

Know your patterns before you change them.

Every engagement starts with data — and both instruments are free. PatternPrint is the main event: the full map of how you operate. Short on time? Start with the ten-minute EQ check and go deeper later.

The architecture of you.

A self-reflection battery drawn from validated psychological instruments. Big Five, attachment style, emotion regulation, values, work motivations — fourteen sections ending in your named archetype and a full personal report: your superpowers, what's holding you back, and the three things to do about it.

How you run under pressure.

Not how you'd like to respond — how you actually have. Seventy-six behavioral items across ten real-world scenarios, scored on the last ninety days of stress, conflict, and hard conversations.

/ 04The flagship — private coaching

One coach.
One client.
Both systems.

This is the core of my practice: a private, high-touch engagement where we work on you and your business at the same time. The inner system — focus, beliefs, habits, resilience — and the outer system: workflows, automations, and AI leverage. Change one without the other and the results don't stick. Change both and they compound.

// What's included

  • Weekly private 1-on-1 sessions
  • Mindset protocols drawn from NLP & hypnosis
  • A personal AI adoption roadmap
  • Automation & systems buildouts for your business
  • Direct access between sessions

Results, in their words.

Everything has changed in my life. I'm not just making money now — I enjoy my life, and it is so amazing.

1-on-1 coaching

You are the first coach I worked with who actually listened to me. You didn't just tell me what to do — you understood what my strengths are and helped me work on those.

Coaching client

WOW — that test pretty much hit everything inside of me spot on. It was WILD how accurate it was. Crazy to read, and probably the most informative personality profile test I have taken.

PatternPrint — Deep Personality Assessment

// Field guide — emotional intelligence

Emotional intelligence is the ability to read what's happening inside you — and between you and other people — and choose your response instead of being run by your reaction. The deal that went sideways after a tense call. The conversation avoided until it became a crisis. Those weren't intelligence problems. They were EQ moments — and they quietly decide your income, your relationships, and how heavy your stress feels.

Here's what most people miss: unlike IQ, EQ is trainable. The only thing between you and a higher EQ is knowing exactly where yours breaks down — a measurement problem you can solve in about ten minutes.

Your EQ is running the show.

IQ gets you in the room. EQ decides what happens there.

/ 06AI-readiness

Make your business AI-ready.

AI-readiness isn't buying tools. It's redesigning how work flows through your business — and through you.

[A]

Workflow audit

We document how work actually moves through your business and find what should be automated, delegated, or deleted.

[B]

Automation buildouts

Hands-on builds: AI-assisted pipelines, follow-up systems, content engines, internal tools — installed, tested, documented.

[C]

Tool stack & training

The right tools for your business — and the training to use them with judgment instead of copy-paste prompting.

[D]

AI-ready operating system

SOPs and decision frameworks so your team knows what AI touches, what humans own, and how quality stays high.

/ 09Questions

Asked, answered.

What does a life coach do?+

A life coach helps you clarify goals, identify patterns that block progress, and practice new behaviors. At 126 Coaching, Brian Curtis combines life coaching with NLP, hypnosis-informed mindset work, emotional intelligence coaching, and practical systems for growth.

Is 126 Coaching a good fit for entrepreneurs?+

Yes. 126 Coaching is built for entrepreneurs, business owners, creators, professionals, and high-performers who want personal development, business coaching, better emotional intelligence, and AI-ready execution.

What is an NLP breakthrough session?+

An NLP breakthrough session is a focused coaching conversation that maps a stuck pattern, identifies the belief or emotional loop behind it, and helps you choose and practice a more useful response.

How is NLP coaching different from therapy?+

NLP coaching is forward-focused personal development and behavior-change work. It does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Therapy is clinical care; coaching is focused on goals, patterns, decisions, and action.

Can business coaching help with mindset and emotional patterns?+

Yes. Many business bottlenecks are operator bottlenecks: fear, avoidance, conflict, overwhelm, unclear boundaries, or old identity patterns. Brian works on the operator and the operation together.

What is personal development coaching?+

Personal development coaching helps you improve self-awareness, emotional intelligence, communication, habits, confidence, and follow-through. The goal is growth you can see in real choices and behavior.

Do you offer hypnosis-based coaching?+

Brian Curtis offers hypnosis-informed coaching as part of mindset, NLP, and breakthrough work when it fits the client and goal. It is collaborative coaching, not stage hypnosis or medical treatment.

Can coaching help me become more emotionally intelligent?+

Yes. Emotional intelligence grows through awareness, regulation, response choice, empathy, boundaries, and repair. The free EQ Growth Profile can help identify where to begin.

What happens during a breakthrough session?+

You and Brian identify the pattern, trace how it runs, examine the belief or emotional loop underneath it, and leave with a practical replacement response and next step.

Who is Brian Curtis?+

Brian Curtis is a life coach, business coach, NLP practitioner, hypnosis-informed breakthrough coach, emotional intelligence coach, and AI adoption strategist. Through 126 Coaching, he helps clients break old patterns and build practical systems for personal and professional growth.
