META-COACHING RELOADED

 

 

"So, how did it go?"  As you know, with the launch here in September of
Meta-Coaching in Sweden, New Zealand, South Africa, and Sydney Australia, we
have completely redesigned the Meta-Coaching System.  And over the past few
weeks, I've received emails from many of you asking "How did it go?"  "What
happened?"  Well, the first experience of Meta-Coaching Reloaded occurred in
the last week in Sweden, so now I can tell you.

 


>From all of the feedback, the results overall were extremely positive so I

am very pleased with it and think that this reloading of the Meta-Coach
System has succeeded even beyond what I had hoped for.  At the heart of the
new structure is the Facilitation Model.  This change brought a new level of
focus to the training- each day we introduced and worked on a specific area
to facilitation - the Coaching Relationship, the Skill of Exploration, the
focus of Performance, working with Systems and systemically as a coach,
Coaching Change, Coaching Self-Actualization, developing Coaching Business
acumen, and being Professional as a coach.

 

The next biggest change that this generated was the increased emphasis and
time on the experiential nature of coaching- each participant coaches each
day, is client each day, and is meta-person each day.  That means there are
7 coaching sessions which gives a lot more time for practice of coaching
from all three positions- Coach, Client, and Meta-Person.  And if turning
out highly skilled Coaches who are fully qualified to coach and who are
competent to deliver on the promises of coaching is our objective in the
training, then the new format significantly contributes to achieving that
outcome.

 

Now benchmarking that many times really provides a new level of challenge
for the team leaders.  That means they benchmark 21 coaching sessions!
Think about that!  And on Day 6 they benchmarked 6 times- that's right, 6
times in a single day!  And I can tell you, that is a lot and very
demanding.

 

Yet what I saw in our team this time was the growth and development of
skills in seeing the facilitation skills and benchmarking them at a rate I
have never seen before.  And by Day 6 every participant has fully reached
competency on the first four skills and the "problem" that we then had was
that of keeping the scores down to "3."  We have never had that problem
before!  So if you want to take your coaching skills for specificity,
precision, and your benchmarking skills to a new level- think about joining
the Meta-Coach Faculty by becoming one of the Assist Team Leaders.

 

Germaine assisted me in the presentations and for those of you who saw here
last year doing that, I think she has made a big jump in her skills of
presentation.  She also was able along with me to sit in the sessions
benchmarking the benchmarking skills of the benchmarkers(!) And enabling
them to catch the critical pieces for taking their skills to the next level.
And with several of our team leaders operating mostly from the global
meta-program- I was impressed with how much they learned to find and work
with details by the end of the training.

 

I want to recognize and celebrate our team of 10 (which included the 3
sponsors) who were the team leaders and benchmarkers:

            1)   Helene Nordgren - Sweden 

            2)   Niklas Daver - Sweden

            3)   Sara Lee - Sweden

            4)   Mario Mason - Paris, France

            5)   Nicola Riva  -  Italy

            6)   Lucia Giovannini - Italy

            7)   David Kynan - Canada

            8)   Mats Lundberg - Sweden

            9)   Leonie Zonjee  - Holland

            10)   Femke Stutt - Holland 

 

I want to recognize the tremendous development that Germaine Rediger, as a
Meta-Coach Trainer in the making, has made.  She is in the 3-year intern
process of being mentored to become a full-fledge MC Trainer and is now part
of the leadership team along with 8 others.  For our Expert Coach, we had
Lennart Carlsson who has been in the field of Coaching 10 years and NLP 12
or 15 and who brings so much to the coaching experience.  And Lennart was
with us for 7 days of the training which speaks about his openness to new
learnings.  His interview was one of the highlights of the training.  Sad to
say, Lene Fjellheim from Norway, Neuro-Semantic Trainer and Meta-Coach was
scheduled but she came down with double pneumonia and could not make it. 

 

With this training we now have 29 new Meta-Coaches in Europe - which
probably means we have about 40 altogether including another 30 or 40 in
England.  Sara, Helen, and Niklas have founded a Meta-Coach Foundation
Chapter in Stockholm and within a couple weeks the first practice group will
be launched.  In our coaching for the first time we had a young medical
doctor who is going into psychiatry and we had a famous football (soccer)
star as one of our participants.  So all in all, a very successful training
in that there are now 29 new Meta-Coaches on Planet Earth and we are closing
in on the first 1,000 mark.

 

And with the Team Leaders - Nicola, Niklas, Mario began a great conversation
the other day about how to take collaboration among us - among Meta-Coaches
in Europe and other places to the next level.  And already we have a good
many at this training who will be coming to the Unleashing Leadership
training in Italy in December (13-15).  For those who do - NS trainers and
Meta-Coaches are invited to an exclusive gathering at Nicola and Lucia's
home the day after the training for a half-day "extra." 

 

Meta-High Fives to the launch of Meta-Coaching in Europe!
