COACHING AND DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY Part I

If you are a Coach then what you do is based on are several psychologies. First and foremost is Self-Actualization Psychology, next is Cognitive-Behavioral, and after that, Developmental Psychology.

Why? First because you are a change-agent facilitating the highest and best development in your clients as you help them identify, develop, and unleash their highest potentials. Second, because as you do that the unleashing occurs through meaning and performance and that requires that you use cognitive and behavioral processes. Third, all of this presupposes that human beings develop over their life-span and that there is rhyme and reason to it.

That’s why the Meta-Coaching system is based on and utilizes all of these psychologies. They provide the theoretical framework for what we do. As further, as an aside, this endows Meta- Coaching an inherit credibility— all of the credibility from all of the research that supports these three psychologies.
