THE FAST TRACK OF META-COACHING

When we began Meta-Coaching in 2002, those who were sponsoring said that many people wanted to take Meta-Coaching and learn the form of Coaching that we were presenting but they were not ready to take the whole NLP practitioner training. So the sponsors urged us to create a way to get people involved without requiring that they do the whole NLP Practitioner training (10 to 15 days). That’s why we originally put together Coaching Essentials. To do that we asked ourselves, “What aspects of NLP are essential for Coaching?” From that question, we then put together a fast track— 3 days that would give people a quick introduction to the NLP Communication Model.

When I say “quick introduction,” it really is that. Quick and a mere introduction. And as an introduction, it should not be considered to be fully adequate for a person to understand NLP. It is not able to do that. It is just the beginning of that journey. And every trainer of Coaching Essentials should emphasize that with every section that they train. “This is an introduction!” “There is much, much more to learn, study, and integrate.”
