A SECRET, MAGICAL, POWERFUL QUESTION TO ASK AS AN ELEGANT META-COACH

“So what have I learned from the latest Coaching Mastery training?” I always ask myself that question after every training and even though this was the 35 th one and I’ve been involved in 32 of them, I’m still learning new things. Among my favorite activities is working with the Assist Team on the one or two days prior to the training— that’s because we not only benchmark coaching sessions, but we step back from the coaching and do structural analysis of what went on in terms of the invisible patterns (meta-programs, meta-levels of framing, etc.).

And because this means the coaching sessions are with those already certified and licensed in Meta-Coaching and some who have been at it for years—these analysis are often very refined and at a high level. This level of pattern detection also is providing the team leaders and benchmarkers some experience with one of the four additional skills that we benchmark at the PCMC level—pattern detection.
