META-COACHES AS LEARNING FACILITATORS

“Coaching will become the model for leaders in the future... I am certain that leadership can be learned, and that terrific coaches... facilitate learning.” Warren Bennis

As a Meta-Coach you are a Change Agent, you are a Self-Actualization Coach, you are a Communication Expert, you are a Facilitator synergizing meaning-making and best performances, you are a Dream Maker, and you are a Matrix Explorer. What else are you? How about being a Learning Facilitator? Is that part of your role definition or your identity?

In the quotation above from Warren Bennis, one of the things that many coaches do involves leadership development and a big part of that is facilitating leaders as learners. Why? Because the competency of learning, unlearning, relearning, and learning in new, fresh, and creative ways is, and will increasingly become, a competitive advantage in the twenty-first century. Today the competitive advantage goes to those who are continuous learners, to those who can unlearn as efficiently well as learn.

• So, how are you at facilitating learning?

• How are you as a learner yourself?
