META HIGH FIVES

TO THE NEWEST META-COACHES

 

 

Meta-High-Fives to our 23 new Meta-Coaches- 21 from New Zealand and 2 from
Australia!  Ignition in Auckland New Zealand sponsored the training.  Meta
High Fives also to 4 Meta-Coaches who returned as our Team Leaders/ Team
Coaches -Peter Price from Melbourne Australia, and Jan Canton, Sandra
Davies, and Diane Smith-all from New Zealand and graduates of the Coaching
Mastery in Sydney 2007.  Master Neuro-Semantic trainer Colin Cox took the
fifth team as a team leader and we had two Meta-Coach Team Leaders and
Neuro-Semantic Trainers shadowing the training (which included
co-training)-Lena Gray and Martin Urban.

 

There were two very important firsts in this training:  




.                  This was the very first time that both of our expert
coaches were Meta-Coaches; both Graham Richardson and Rosie Davoli.  And
both were wonderful in the interview and in their demonstration of Coaching!

 

.                  This was the very first time in all 22 Meta-Coach
trainings prior to this that every single person reached the competency
benchmarks!   All provisional status were about time (hours in the training)
or prerequisite trainings or conditions.  This indicates how the structure
of the training has been evolving and developing.  The benchmarks and those
benchmarking are being even more rigorous and yet we are able, as a team, to
get increasingly more through to competency level.

 

.                  A third really important first is that almost everybody
was getting KPIs for their sessions by the sixth and seventh days.  Using
two chairs-the Outcome and their Coaching chairs, we were able to more
highly distinguish the difference between Outcome (and KPI) and the Coaching
Session -Thanks to Joseph Scott for that distinction!

 

We had a small training of only 23 persons but with 8 of us as team leaders,
shadowers, and trainers we had someone to benchmark every session.  And
within 16 months we will have two more Meta-Coach Trainers and possibly 4
more since Joseph Scott and Germaine Rediger shadowed in July in Colorado.

 

In our group of new Meta-Coaches are four Neuro-Semantic NLP Trainers-

            Geoff Wade

            Alan Fayter

            Andree James

            Maria Kalpatzoglou

 

And Andre' commented that she originally had no intention of doing
Meta-Coaching because she's a trainer, not a coach, but that now she thinks
the "coaching" bit should be condensed and made part of the Trainers'
Training since a Trainer has to be able to coach in demonstrations in order
to really demonstrate the structure, the process, the pattern, or whatever
one is training.  

 

And it is such a powerful combination!  Training and Coaching and/or
Coaching and Training.  The trainer who can coach (can meta-coach) has a way
of getting rapport and entering into a person's matrix much, much quicker
and more efficiently than without those skills.  And the Coach who can
present, who can deliver information effectively and precisely to a board,
can persuade and influence a business breakfast, etc. will be able to get a
lot more business.

 

I suppose we can count this training as an International one, although it
was different from all of the other Meta-Coach trainings of Module III in
that we only had 2 countries represented.  If we count Trilby who came to
New Zealand from Switzerland last year and originally from South Africa-then
3 countries.  Yet we did have something else new-of the new participants,
half were Maori and so will be bringing back to their community some truly
powerful tools for empowerment and transformation.  And that was the vision
and dream that so many of them expressed at the Graduation.

 

Our next Coaching Mastery program in New Zealand will be the first week of
October, 2009.  Our next Coaching Mastery in Australia will be November 2009
(Sydney) and then in the Gold Coast the first week of April 2010.  There has
now been 730 people trained and certified in Mea-Coaching world-wide in 38
countries (even though many have not kept their license current by keeping
up their membership fee). 

 

New things coming- 

.                  More details about the Facilitation model

.                  Re-ordering of the benchmark numbers.  Behaviors marked
at 4 will be 3.5 and those at 5 will be 3.75.  And since elegance is at
level 4- this requires the synergy of all 7 core skills simultaneously at
3.75.  This means it includes exquisite timing, integration, and the
gestalting of something more than the sum of all these parts.  Shane Stewart
highlighted that the benchmarks from 0 to 5 were non-linear and therefore
exponential (and we have a diagram to illustrate that).  We are now
beginning to map and model out the details of this exponential growth.

                                                            

 

Testimonies .. 

                                                                        

"The training was eye opening for how powerfully simple the process is and
when applied to self, just how transforming it is for your highest and best.
If you are looking to be at the fore front and leading the way in the
coaching industry, get the best tools you can-Meta-Coaching will help you on
your way to mastery."

James Etuale, New Zealand

 

"I gave up counting the number of times I have been moved, excited,
transformed, and inspired.  The whole experience of learning in a supportive
and fun environment with like-minded people was superb and I look forward to
more trainings from Michael, Colin, and Lena.  Thank you so much."

Ali Roestenburg Auckland, New Zealand

 

"The best and most integration Coach Training available today."

Alan Fayter Christchurch, New Zealand

 

"Meta-Coaching will be the catalyst for me to go from being a good coach to
being a great coach.  Meta-Coaching ticks all of the boxes for creating
inspirational change in others."

Geoff Wake, Remuersa, New Zealadn

 

"I was aware of what I wanted to change, but did not know how.  This
Meta-Coaching training has given me the know-how tools, to self-control.
Also I will takeaway the confidence that I can how coach and really
facilitate change in others without getting bogged down in the details.  A
truly transformational experience."

Triby Johnson Christchurch, New Zealand

 

"Every outcome I had for the training was achieved!  Every question I had or
could have had regarding the business aspect of coaching was answered."

Maria Kalpatzoglsu,   Auckland, New Zealand

 

"One of the best courses I have attended -fast-tracking coach skill to
support business outcomes."

Dan Way, Melbourne, Australia

 

"The ability and opportunities to refine this skill and refining
meta-question really took my skill as a training using patterns to
absolutely the next level.  I really think a condensed version for ...
[should be made available] in Trainer's training..." 

Andre James, Auckland, New Zealand
