THE CORE SKILLS OF GIVING AND RECEIVING FEEDBACK

Since the first of this year I have been engaged in a good bit of mentoring. I have watched three CDs of Meta-Coaches coaching clients and have written reports on the core coaching skills. Two of them were for Meta-Coaches finishing their provisional status on the competency levels. The other one was a Meta-Coach wanting me to see if her core skills were at the level of 3.5 and ready for PCMC.

In addition to that, I have had 6 or 7 mentoring conversations with other Meta-Coaches. They called to invite me to go over some coaching cases with them and think through their coaching strategy. Sometimes the mentoring was focused on getting some feedback and ideas about how to proceed and sometimes to check to see if they were on the right track. And sometimes the Meta-Coach asked if I would provide feedback on something very specific —how they followed the energy through the client’s matrix, how they were doing with their meta-questions, their state induction, and their ability to see and reflect back patterns.
