TH CONVERSATION
In the Meta-Coaching system we have 7 conversations (clarity, decision, planning, change, experience, confrontation, or mediation conversations). These are the seven different kind of conversations that you, as a coach, can facilitate with a client. These seven kinds of conversations cover just about anything and everything that you deal with as you facilitate change and self-actualization with individuals and organizations. Classifying conversations with these seven categories or classes brings order to what otherwise could be very disconcerting and even chaotic. Yet there is another conversation that is missing.
What is missing, however, is not just another kind of conversation. What is missing is a higher level conversation, a meta-conversation, a conversation about your conversations and one designed to both quality control your conversations and change your conversation. This meta- conversation is about the conversation itself and enables you and your client to step back and observe, examine, and evaluate your conversation or conversations. And when you are able to facilitate this eighth conversation, then as a coach you will be able to be a catalyst for a new conversation.
