“TOO MANY RULES!”

And Too Little Understanding of Modeling Excellence

Here is what I heard yesterday and the day before: “There are too many rules in Meta-Coaching, it’s just too hard with so many rules.” Of course, because I was training Meta-Coaching, I made sure that I then practiced the very coaching (and its “rules”) as I then validated the person and explored the question. “Okay, so you feel there’s too many rules. Help me understand... What rules are you talking about?”

“Well, just all the rules.”

“Okay, good. So I understand that you feel that there’s lot of rules, yet I don’t quite know what you are calling a ‘rule.’ What qualifies as a ‘rule’ for you? Can you tell me that?”
