WORLD-CLASS COACHING

& SELF-ACTUALIZATION PREMISES

 

 

Do you have more potential to be unleashed?  I bet you do, I bet that
everyone you know also has more potential to be unleashed?  So, let's start
from that idea.

 

Suppose we begin from the proposition that all men (and women) are created
with a higher nature, a self-actualizing need, that drives them to be all
that they can be.  If we start with this premise which lies at the heart of
Self-Actualizing Psychology, namely, that there is within human beings an
inner nature to actualize their highest values and visions so that they
produce their best performances, what then follows?  If we assume that
people everywhere are created with a whole host of potentials within and
which clamor to be developed, that all people are made for truth,
authenticity, responsibility, and love- then what will be the consequences
of this in homes, businesses, organizations, and governments?

 

If we start from the proposition that human beings are far more than
advanced animals, that they have an inexplicable higher nature, that they
are motivated by higher level needs that drive them to think about others
and to want to give back- then how do we activate these higher qualities in
people and bring them out?

           How do we enable people to step up to their full potentials?

           How do we identify and develop what's higher in people?

           How do we actualize the best in people and make it real in
everyday life?

 

If the Self-Actualization Psychology tells the untold story of human
nature-if there's good in all people, and the potential for both greatness
and transformation, what does this demand of us if we are to find a way to
tap into this bright side of our nature?

 

In Neuro-Semantics, these questions have guided us in how we design our
trainings and govern the way we coach and consult.  By making our larger
frame-of-reference is Self-Actualization Psychology, our primary focus
shifts to identifying, developing, and unleashing that which is highest and
best in human nature.  As we traveled this path we discovered something
surprising, namely, that NLP arose from this very focus.  We discovered that
the people originally modeled by Bandler, Grinder, and Pucelik were the
second generation of leaders in the first Human Potential Movement.  We
discovered that the NLP Presuppositions originally came from Abraham Maslow
and Carl Rogers and Rollo May and many others of the founders of the
psychology of Self-Actualization as the premises of that new psychology.

 

All of this explains the most distinctive factor that sets apart the
Meta-Coaching System.  Now it is true that most of the field of Coaching
claim to be something other than psychotherapy and something other than
Consulting and Training.  Most in the field of Coaching also claim to be
based on some form of humanistic, positive, and/or strength-based
psychology, none that we know have fully articulated the relationship
between Self-Actualization Psychology and Coaching as we have.

 

When you sign up for the Meta-Coaching System, and especially when you
attend Coaching Mastery which is Module III and leads to the ACMC
credentials (Associate Certified Meta-Coach), you will experience a coaching
based entirely upon Self-Actualization Psychology.  As a result, you will
learn skills that you can learn nowhere else-how to identify and unleash
human potentials.

 

The most striking conclusion that results from starting from
Self-Actualization is the premise that your clients do not need your advice,
fixing, or solutions.  That's not what they need and it is not what you do.
When you begin from the proposition that your coaching clients are not
broken and that they have the internal resources for unleashing all of their
potentials- then you coach in a very different way.

 

How?  First you connect with them by listening and supporting so that you
create the space whereby they can begin to hear themselves, hear their inner
voice.  This kind of indepth and intense listening is not natural and no one
does it intuitively.  You have to learn to do that!

 

When you learn that quality of listening in the training, you begin learning
that your clients are trying to express but cannot.  You begin hearing in
their stories what's really blocking them and what really solves those
problems.  As a professional communicator you realize that more often than
not people get lost and confused by a series of pseudo-problems.  Sometimes
symptoms of the problem.  Sometimes misunderstandings.  Through intense,
indepth listening and probing, you hear the real problems.  You see and hear
the Matrix in code.

 

Then, by mirroring-back and facilitating through awareness questions, you
enable the person to hear him or herself.  Doing is incredibly
transformative.  And because you imposed nothing, there's no resistance.
You've listened-supported in a way that is so unique that they start
awakening to their own inner potentials, creativity, authenticity, and
responsibility.  And when that happens, lives change in incredible ways.

 

That's also when you hear something else- the person's solutions.  On the
surface, it seems so strange, so paradoxical.  Yet just as people don't seem
to be able to discern the real problem, they also don't see to consciously
know the real solution.  This occurs even while they are trying different
solutions and believing that they finally have the solution.  But in the
end, no.   Yet if only they could hear themselves- really hear themselves-
which is what you do.  When you do- and present it back to them and help
them see how it is the solution, a solution that they have known and yet not
known, not realized, not articulated.
