If indeed all communication inherently involves aspects of the hypnotic and if an intense and personal coaching conversation takes a person inside in a hypnotic way— how can you…
As a Meta-Coach, you know all about the basic conversations that are inherent in coaching.
Coaching and training often brings us in close contact with people who have (or think they have) Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder…
Sometimes in the process of co-creating a solution with your client— sometimes things seem to go round and round in a circle.
You can count on one thing— if you have tried and tried one thing to create a solution and, after you have quality controlled it so that you know it is good for you and persisted…
An interesting frame that locks many clients into seemingly unsolvable problems is the assumption of stability.
As you engage in the search for solutions with your clients, there’s one great place to explore that —on first thought— will seem contradictory, even paradoxical.
You know the “as if” frame in NLP.
Another way, and a great way, to co-create a solution with a client is to engage in an exploration of exceptions.
Finding, building, developing, and applying resources to a problem or the person is perhaps NLP’s par excellence contribution for creating solutions.
Let us start with the next two premises (from that original list of premises) that define and describe solution focused Meta-Coaching: #3.
When you co-create solutions with your client, you develop an unique way of conversing— an interactive solution focused dialogue.
The intended design of Meta-Coaching is to co-create, with a client, solutions for your client.
To detect a coachable moment also requires that you also know how to detect when a moment is not a coachable moment.
There are moments when you are coaching when the client will be highly coachable.
Sometimes in your facilitation, a client completes whatever he or she was working on before you finish gathering your initial information via the 18-questions.
As a Meta-Coach, you ask what your client wants (#1), why it is important (#3), and when the person wants to achieve that outcome (#4).
Think about coaching a client and what immediately comes to your mind regarding your strategy?
“There’s no substitute for paying exquisite attention to your client.”
“Any conversation that is really absorbing can entrance people without them necessarily recognizing their own trance state.”
When it comes to doing something right and/or muddling something up, there are many, many more ways to muddle something than there are ways to do something correctly.
Another way to think about what you bring into the coaching session and conversation is the idea that, as a professional Coach, you can operate as a placebo.
When you engage in a coaching conversation, there are a whole range of things that you do.
Because meaning is constantly changing, as I noted in the last post, it is unstable.
