This last week two regular readers of Self-Actualization Reflections wrote to inquire what I meant by “the Crucible” and how that contributes to the unleashing of potentials. So #19 and #20 (coming next week July 9, and the following week) is devoted to more about the Crucible.
Without giving it away now, I’ll just say that since Neuro-Semanticists (which includes Meta- Coaches) know how to use the NLP and Meta-States communication model to “get to the heart of things” and have a fierce conversation that’s truly transformational have to also be able to create a crucible. If they don’t, then the conversation will not open up the meta-leverage points for change. In fact, without being able to create a crucible for the person experiencing the conversation, one could make things worse.
It is the Crucible that facilitates the transformational the “dialogue” so that meaning (logos) will move through (dia) us and expose the heart of the matter. Failure to do this, and there will be no true dialogue, only talk. The conversation will go nowhere. The conversation will not be a coaching conversation that gets to the heart fo the matter.
And the Crucible is just one of the new things we are introducing in the Meta-Coach Trainings this month in Colorado. Interested? Now is the time to register for
