THE META-COACHING WAY

Not too long ago while doing a demonstration of Meta-Coaching, a coach from some other coaching “school,” made a comment. “I’m not familiar with the Meta-Coaching way of coaching, when you did X, I would have done Y.” I thought that he was going to ask a question, maybe something on the order of, “So what were you thinking, or what in the Meta-Coaching methodology led you to do that?” But there was no question. There was more of a statement that implied, “This is what you should have done!”

Regardless of that, it did get me thinking? “What exactly is ‘the Meta-Coaching way?’” If I were to explain the Meta-Coaching Way, how would I explain it? And that led to writing this article. But before I present my thinking about that, what do you think? If someone wanted to do a coaching session with you and asked you, “By the way, what do you mean by the Meta-Coaching way of coaching? What does that mean?” And you would say what? Take a moment and formulate your thoughts about that. Or go take a walk and come back to read the rest of this article.
