PREFACE

"An explorer can never know what he is exploring

until it has been explored."  Bateson (1972)

T

he original Meta-Coaching Volume I had two parts.  The first part was on
Coaching as a new methodology and field-it highlighted the Meta-Coaching
System.  The second part was on Coaching Change, specifically The Axes of
Change Model.  This new edition has changed all of that.  Actually when I
completed the first edition of this book in 2004, it was my second book in
this series on Meta-Coaching.  The first was Coaching Conversations (2003).
Then I changed the numbers so it was the second on in the series.

Why?  I did that because after publishing Coaching Conversations, I realized
that to make sense of that book I needed to write an Introduction to
Meta-Coaching.  So in the original edition I put a description of the whole
Meta-Coaching System.  That took nine chapters.  In the next ten chapters I
then put The Axes of Change Model.  That was the content of the first
edition of this book.

Fast forward a decade and I realized that the time had come to update
Coaching Change.  Yet with that decision I had a problem.  In that decade
Meta-Coaching had gone into 50 countries and had graduated thousands of
Meta-Coaches.  That wasn't the problem.  Having learned a lot more about
change in that decade, I had a lot to add to the book.  The problem was that
I now had far too much new material for a single book.  What to do?
Transform the one book into two books! So as an author who keeps learning
and changing his mind, I expanded the original text and separate it into two
books:

Coaching Change is now Volume I.

            The Meta-Coaching System is now Volume XIII.

The Ever-Expanding Field of Coaching

Coaching continues to be a new and exciting field focused on personal
enrichment and empowerment which occurs through change.  In Meta-Coaching we
view this as the purpose and design of coaching-to mobilize 

and activate a client's resources to actualize a person's desired outcome.
To achieve that requires tapping into the person's hidden and undeveloped
potentials to awaken them for the purpose of taking one's skills to a new
level of performance.  Typically to accomplish this requires altering
current ways of thinking, feeling, speaking, behaving, and relating,
expanding those powers, and creating the frames that support the responses
needed for the new outcome.  In a word- change.

What's in this Book?

This book is exclusively about change-what it is, what it is not, the levels
and dimensions of change, kinds of change, models of change, the principles
of change, processes for facilitating change, myths about change, and much
more.  I hope you have a healthy appetite for change because there is a
banquet of change in the coming chapters.

There's a lot of change ahead.  This book uniquely focuses on one single
facet of coaching-change.  In Coaching Change you will discover a change
model that is exclusive to the field of coaching and to the kind of
generative change that describes coaching-The Axes of Change Model.

As it was true in 2004, so it is true today, this book presents the Axes as
the first non-therapeutic change model for coaching.  Here you will discover
the four mechanisms of change along with eight coaching roles that enable a
coach to be a truly effective change agent.  Here, as a change-maker, you
will discover how to dance with the eight coaching roles for effectively
facilitating change.

Each chapter ends with some suggested Take-Aways and some Tasking for the
Coach.  Of course, what else would you expect from a book about Coaching?
These calls to action essentially ask what are you going to do about what
you have read?  And you know the reason for this, do you not?  You know that
experiential knowing comes from doing.  So I have used this coaching
perspective at the end of each chapter to invite you to do something about
what you've considered.  This exemplifies the heart of the power of Coaching
-facilitating people to take action.

Who is Coaching Change for?

I have written this first and foremost for Professional Coaches and
secondarily for leaders, managers, and anyone who works as a change agent.
One reason for this is because people everywhere are shopping for change-
whether they know it or not.  After all, everyone who wants to improve the
quality of his life is a customer for change.  Anyone who wants to think
more, feel more, say more, do more, be more, have more, and give more- is
shopping for how to make that change real in her life.  Yet where do they
go?  Who do they speak with?

This book for anyone who helps people improve their performances, their
inner psychological world, their lives.  It is for leaders, managers,
consultants, trainers, therapists, parents, friends, etc.  It's for
professional and amateur change agents-those who seek to bring the best out
in others.

The Axes of Change Model

Coaching involves lots of things.  In Meta-Coaching we have identified seven
key things that coaching is-one of which is change.  So while this book
exclusively focuses on change, along the way you will be introduced ever so
briefly to many of the other cutting-edge models and tools which come from
the field of Neuro-Semantics.

Can you use Coaching Change on yourself?  Sure.  What's written here equally
applies to anyone seeking to improve the quality of his or her own
self-development.  And as you will soon learn, to learn is to change, and to
change is to learn.  These are different perspectives on the ongoing
development as a human being.

If after reading and studying Coaching Change you would like to experience
training in The Axes of Change, contact the Meta-Coaching website for one of
the next Coaching Mastery trainings that are continuously going on around
