CONFRONTATION AND THE CRUCIBLE

If there’s any place that really highlights the Confrontation Conversation as a coach, it is when you use the Crucible Model. It is when you are having a Crucible Conversation. Do you know that one? If you have not read Unleashed or been to the Unleashing Potentials workshop, then the Crucible may be a new model and experience for you.

In Meta-Coaching, we have two change models for working with self-actualizing processes. First is the Axes of Change Model, the second on is the Crucible Model. While the first one enables you to engage in the “dance of change” and explicitly work with the four mechanisms of change for a psychologically healthy person, the second one is far more systemic. The second one is designed to engage a person in an encounter of truth that gets to the heart of things— and especially to anything that serves as a block to his or her highest self-actualization. The second model is especially appropriate when a self-actualizer person needs to unlearn.
