M-P BENCHMARKING

Meaning-Performance Benchmarking of the Core Coaching Skills

Since 2003 we have been benchmarking in Meta-Coaching using a form that keeps evolving, the current form is #22! That form sets out the 7 benchmarks and has numbers from 0 to 3.5 to indicate the movement from incompetency to competency and on to expertise. The form is a short version— a cheat sheet— of the full benchmarks for the core competencies which are in the Coaching Mastery training manual.

Because the skill of giving feedback is a critically important core competency as a Meta-Coach, you begin learning the form on Day 2 and using it on Day 3 of the Coaching Boot Camp and by Day 7 you have given feedback on each of the skills. And as you well know, it is challenging! No question about that. And over the years, several people have attempted to simplify that form. And many of their suggestions have been excellence and, accordingly, have incorporated into the form that we now use.
