META-COACHING™: COACHING AT A HIGHER LEVEL
“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you’ve imagined.”
-Thoreau
A Meta-Coach™ will first and foremost be able to recognize, detect, and effectively address the processes, structures, mind-sets, frames, beliefs, etc. of the expert or person learning to become a master in a given area whether business, leadership, management, creativity, relationships, persuasion, etc. He or she will address the things that get in the way of that excellence (i.e., lack of clarity, indecision, excuses, etc.). This means the ability to take a Meta position to the mental-emotional matrices of a person’s experience.
After recognition of the structure of experience and being able to model and profile the experience, the Meta-Coach™ needs to be able to see the neuro-semantic system of mind-body-emotion within relationships, contexts, etc. as a system. This means systemic thinking about the human mind-body system within yet higher systems (business, culture, family, government, politics, economics, etc.) and within which yet lower systems are embedded (thinking, valuing, believing, feeling, remembering, imagining, etc.).
For this reason we have developed the Matrix model based upon the neuro-linguistics of human communication and functioning (NLP) that describes how to run our own brain and manage our own states and the Meta-States model of Neuro-Semantics that describes the levels of min-body-emotion as a systemic process. The idea of framing from Bateson came into NLP in terms of a few basic frames: the ecology frame, relevancy frame, outcome frame, meaning (re-framing), etc. With Neuro-Semantics we developed this much further and created Frame Games as a model of the embedded nature of frames within frames. This has led to being able to work with mastering fear, becoming fit and slim, modeling the frames of business experts, wealth building, prolific writing and researching and other creative arts, relationships, persuasion, and much more.
What is META- COACHING™?
Meta-Coaching™ is a powerful coaching methodology that transcends traditional Performance Coaching, taking Coach and client to higher levels – to Developmental and Transformational Coaching. That is why we call it ‘meta’ meaning a higher level. At these levels profound change occurs naturally and easily. The result is success and transformation.
Meta-Coach™ Training is an accelerated coach training system that supports participants to move through learning modules, culminating in Master Coach Status. It is taught in an environment that gives participants every opportunity to excel – as Executive, Personal (Life), Organisational and Self Coaches.
This comprehensive program differentiates itself from other coaching education by integrating three key areas of a successful coaching career:
- Your Self
- Your Coaching Skills
- Your Coaching Business
Meta-Coach™ training draws on the Cognitive Sciences of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Neuro-Semantics (NS) and integrates them into cutting-edge coaching psychology. The training programs are rigorous and qualifications internationally recognised.
