What's New in Meta-Coaching- Part I

 

 

 

AN ENTIRELY NEW SCHEDULE

AND FORMAT!

 

Just when you thought it was safe to come out and say, "Oh yes, I know the
Meta-Coaching System!" the whole system has undergone a kaizen-refining and
has emerged stronger and more profound than ever!  While it is the same
system of 7-models, we have now taken it to a whole new level integrating
feedback from many people in many countries.  In this and the next Meta
Reflections I'll answer the question, "What's new in Meta-Coaching in 2009?"




.                     So, what is new?  

.                     How has the system itself evolved and been refined?

.                     And why?  Why these changes?

.                     And, what does it mean for previous Meta-Coaches?

 

The most radical change to the Meta-Coach Training System is the shift to
making the Science and Art of Facilitation the unifying theme throughout the
days.  And along with this change we have established a daily theme of
facilitating for each day.

 

            Day 1:             Facilitating Relationship: Creating the
coaching relationship through the core skills of Supporting and Listening
and Receiving Feedback.  Introduction to the Facilitation Model and how to
use it to create your coaching space for the conversation like none-other.

 

            Day 2:             Facilitating Exploration: Developing
expertise in questioning and meta-questioning and giving feedback.
Introduction to the invisible structures of meta-states, meta-programs, and
cognitive styles and how to explore them through meta-questions as well as
how to coach to meta-programs and meta-levels.

 

            Day 3:             Facilitating Performance: Coaching for
experience, execution, and implementation via State Induction, coaching
emotions, and accessing one's personal powers.   Coaching clarity and
precision via a Matrix KPI that synthesizes meaning and performance.

 

            Day 4:             Facilitating Systems:  Coaching to the Matrix
of any and every client's meaning frames, develop the skill of "following
the energy through the system," and learn how to conversationally co-create
an experiential matrix with a client.

 

            Day 5:             Facilitating Change: Coaching to the Axes of
Change model and developing skills as a Change Agent handling the levels and
dimensions of change.  Developing change skills as you learn the
eight-coaching change roles for performance, developmental, and
transformational change.

 

            Day 6:             Facilitating Self-Actualization: Coaching
self-actualization in people and companies by coaching to the
Self-Actualization Quadrants that enables the unleashing of potentials in
individuals and organizations.  Facilitate the unleashing processes that
synergize meaningful performances.

 

Day 7:             Facilitating Your Coaching Business: Identifying your
niche as a professional coach, your kind of coaching, and begin to develop
the business skills so that you can work on your business as well as in it
as you create a commercially viable coaching business.  Create a Matrix
Business Plan so you can bring out your best as an entrepreneur.

 

Day 8:             Facilitating Your Certification: Step up to the worldwide
community of Meta-Coaches as you meet the rigorous certification
requirements, and are then licensed as a Certified Meta-Coach.

 

To the nine Leadership Team of Meta-Coach Trainers, I wrote the following to
two weeks ago as part of the re-design of the Meta-Coach Training System.
This articulates why we are doing this and why this is important:

1) To create a new and thorough focus on the Facilitation Model as the heart
of Meta-Coaching.

Each day there is the facilitating of one or more of the processes or facets
of coaching.  This puts the emphasis on a coach as a facilitator, and a
special kind of facilitator- a coach facilitating a content-free
conversation-a facilitator of the client's expertise over his or her goals
and life vision.

 

2) To more thoroughly develop a consistent theme for each day.

Each day has a theme and focus.  So if a Meta-Coach wants to re-visit a
particular theme or focus, he or she can return for that particular day; and
can do so year after year.  Also it will enable the participants to work on
that theme indepth in a thorough way for an entire day.  This will also save
us the repetition of coming back to the theme.

 

3) To cumulatively build up the Meta-Coach processes.

The skills of the coach-in-training build each day becoming richer and more
complex until it reaches the Certification day.

 

In 2007 I identified 10 of the meta-processes that a Meta-Coach would
facilitate.  That was the first generation of a Facilitation Model.  Yet I
knew that was just the beginning of truly modeling the science and art of
facilitation.  And now I have it.  "Will you share it here?"  No, not yet.
First, I'll use 2009 as the year to share it in the actual Meta-Coach
training, in Module III Coaching Mastery and I will do so in Stockholm,
Sweden (Sept.), Auckland, New Zealand (Oct.), Pretoria South Africa (Oct.),
and Sydney Australia (Nov.).  And I think I can promise that you will be as
delighted as you will be surprised.

 

And there is more to this new schedule.   Previously, we were only able to
schedule 12 full coaching sessions throughout the eight days.  That meant
minimally each participant would coach and be benchmarked on 4 full
sessions, experience the client role 4 times, and watch the process and give
feedback 4 times as the meta-person.  With the new schedule we have pushed
this to 18 full coaching sessions so that after day 1, every participant
will coach a full session 6 days in a row, be client 6 times and step into
the meta-role 6 times.  This will provide a lot more experience, practice,
and feedback from the benchmarking.

 

                        

Here are the next four Meta-Coach Training Programs, the first date is a day
of training for the Team Leaders  in benchmarking, the next date is the 8
days of "Coaching Mastery," Ask also about Module II for "Coaching Genius"
