A NEOPHYTE, AGAIN!

Do you know the problem that most people have when they first experience the Coaching Boot Camp of Coaching Mastery? Yes? No? Well, I’m going to reveal “the problem” anyway. In recent years I’ve been focusing my attention on this problem and observing it and seeking to understand it. And this year, with our first Coaching Mastery in Hong Kong and our second in Mexico, I think I have flushed out the problem. See what you think.

The problem is this: People come to Coaching Mastery and then meta-state themselves with hatred, disgust, even contempt when they enter into the neophyte state. I began to figure this one out when I sat in the triads and listened to person after person say that what they wanted in that coaching session was to “learn the seven core coaching skills and to feel totally comfortable with them so that they would know them automatically.” That’s right. I heard those specific words and variations of them at least five times.
