THE MAGIC OF MEASUREMENT

As you so very well know, one of the distinctive features of the Meta-Coaching System is that we measure things. With clients, we use the Well-Formed Outcome pattern to facilitate clients measuring their goals. They measure them in terms of time, process, and then the evidence that will convince them that they have succeeded in reaching their outcome. With ourselves, we measure the coaching competencies, from the seven core skills to the 40 additional coaching skills. ICF does not do that. In fact, even to this date, no other coach training system does that. Meta-Coaching stands out head-and-shoulders above all others in this regard of measuring.

But why? Why this emphasis on measuring things? In a word, it goes to the basic principle that is often repeated in just about every field and discipline, in business, in organizations, in sports, in education, and so on. It is the principle— You cannot manage what you cannot measure.
