WHY YOU NEED TO READ

THE DEEP DIVE

 

While it is forever true that “as you think, so you are,” knowing what you really think is not so easy.  “What’s in the deepest part of your mind?”  “Are your deep thoughts helpful or hurtful?”  Would you like to know?  If so, here’s your invitation to take a deep dive into the depths of your mind.

 

A deep dive is the design of Meta-Coaching.  As an intense personal conversation which gets to the heart of things—the purpose is to get to your deepest meanings.  Via a dialogue, we dive into your ways of thinking to arrive at your control center where you make meanings and where you can update your meanings.  Why? To gain a new lease on life, inner power and freedom, and the ability to live more joyfully, lovingly, and productively.

                                           

In The Deep Dive you will discover this conversational art via the actual coaching demonstrations.  As an observer, you get a front-row seat on the life-changing dialogues and get to hear Dr. Hall identify his thinking, and what he’s aware of, as the conversation transpires.  Unlike “coaching” that’s shallow and superficial, Meta-Coaching involves a deep dive into the inner mind where you take control of your powers of thinking and meaning-making.

 

Because every authentic conversation seeks to win the inner game, when you win the inner game, you win the outer game of your emotions, performances, and relationships. You become self-determining, self-managing, and self-actualizing.  Here you will discover the art of the deep conversation that establishes your values, your thinking and perceptual patterns, your sense of self, your interpretative frames, and much more.

                             

Linguistic Deep Dives 

We live in “the house of language” because the great majority of our thinking is with words, in words, and through words.  While you can think apart from words, it is more difficult.  Often it is nearly impossible to encode your thinking apart from some symbolic system like language.  So to language we go in our journey to travel as deeply as we can into human consciousness.

 

The Art of Diving Deep into a Person’s Thinking

When it comes to our lives as human beings, it’s always about thinking!  Your thinking generates every aspect of your life—how you feel, what you do, your skills, your attitude, your relationships, your career success, your health, fitness, and well-being.  Everything!  Yet your thinking is mostly unconscious—it lies outside of your awareness.  That non-conscious  thinking is the thinking which actually “runs the show” of your life.

 

The deep dive in this book is an exploration into human ways of thinking.  Here we ask, “What is your way of thinking and how is it creating the inner reality in your mind?”

∙           What constructs has your thinking created?

∙           What conclusions have you drawn?

∙           What thinking styles do you use when you think?

 

To go deep into the inner soul of another person, a client, or even yourself, we will use, and follow thinking into and through, the Meta Place.  To do that is to discover the thinking landmarks that you are using, how your are thinking, and your way of thinking.  Ultimately, the quality of your mind is the quality of your thinking.

 

The Deep Dive is a practical application of the basic NLP and Neuro-Semantic concepts.  It is based on transcripts from actual coaching conversation and invites you on an inward journey into the minds of numerous people, into the very structures of consciousness.  The first seven chapters use the Well-Formed Outcome Questions which we use to co-create with a client a coaching contract that defines the coaching outcome.  Within these questions are the most significant themes regarding human development: intentionality, living on purpose, the clarity of precision, empowerment, strategic thinking and planning, experiential resources for unleashing potentials, and systemic thinking for implementation.

 

Chapters eight to ten focus on the intervention side of the coaching conversation.  How do you intervene to introduce solutions and resources?  These chapters highlight generating new interpretative meanings for life, integrating personality for a robust sense of congruency, and the therapeutic nature of coaching conversations for enabling resilience and persistence in living purposefully.

 

What Some Are Saying

 

“As a PCMC coach, I feel like this book is rocket fuel.  It is a good way to become familiar with different kinds of skills and sub-skills, like acknowledgments, confrontation, silence, different kinds of questions, meta-questions etc. The conversations are very rich in details and reading them several times brings out even more. ...  It feels like sitting on the front seat of the coaching sessions and peeking into the mind of a true master."

Henrik Schalén, MD. Psychiatrist, Meta-Coach, Neuro-Semantic Trainer Sweden

“What if you could take a peek into a master Meta-Coach mind in action, analyzing his frames and skills in a transformative coaching conversation?  This book is the treasure trove that a coach can use in modeling Michael Hall to unleash your own and other's potentials from deep within, one coaching conversation at a time.”

Irvan Irawan Jie   Neuro-Semantic Trainer, PCMC Meta-Coach Candidate, Indonesia 

 

“The Deep Dive is a peek into the mind of how a master coach thinks, analyzes, and navigates through the intricacies of coaching conversations. It goes into Michael's mind and heart to learn how a complicated skill can be executed simply and elegantly.  It's a compilation of many concepts and years of experiences and now integrated into actual coaching sessions. The depth of knowledge and wisdom one can get from here can be a leverage point for your self development and a turning point for your coaching skills.”

Sheila Tan, M.A., Meta-Coach, Neuro-Semantic Trainer, Philippines

 

"The Deep Dive is a profound exploration of human processes, analyses, and navigations that define professional coaching conversations.  Within these pages you will discover a lifetime of experiential learning and transformative coaching of the highest calibre.  There’s invaluable insights about how to shape the meta landscape of coaching for generations to come.  For any professional coach, The Deep Dive is an indispensable companion of knowledge and inspiration. It’s a testament to the compassionate intelligence of exploring human experience and mind.’
