LOWER LEVEL COACHING Expose of a so-called “Master” Coach

There are very, very few books that record Coaching Conversations verbatim. I’m not sure why, but the fact is simply that— there are very few. After the very first year of Meta-Coaching, even before I began writing the series of books on the Meta-Coaching System, the first book that Michelle Duval and I put together was Coaching Conversations. Why did we do that? First and foremost to present real live conversations and analyze them using the Meta-Coaching distinctions.

Recently I found one very short example of a coaching conversation. It comes from the book, Group Coaching: a Comprehensive Blueprint (2011) by Genger Cokerham who is a MCC (Master Certified Coach) with the ICF, in fact a board member of ICF. The book is about coaching groups and one of the valuable things I picked up from the book was how she has not only coached groups, but also created groups to coach. She does that by identifying an “ideal client” and then calling a group together of similar minded people, people who would want the niche coaching that she was in.
