I HOPE YOU ARE COACHING INSIDE–OUT

If anything is inside–out, it is coaching. So as a coach, especially as a Meta-Coach, I hope that you are coaching to your client’s inside so that your client can fully live inside–out. But, and this is the really sad part, most coaches do not. And to make matters worse, they probably do not even know how! So the personal question to you, if you are a Meta-Coach— do you?

Coaching inside–out means that first and foremost, you know how to take your client inside. Nearly ten years ago when I began training the Executive Coaching program, I wrote a pattern for “how to take an executive or senior manager inside.” Why? Because these are the people who mostly live outside. The world outside is their strength. They know it, they know how to handle it, how to manage it, etc. What most of them know very little about is the inside. In fact, Executive Coaching arose as a way to encourage the top leaders to take time to reflect on themselves, to know themselves, and to understand how to leave minds and hearts.
