WHEN YOU ENCOUNTER AN EMOTION

As a coach, and especially as a Meta-Coach, you frequently (like just about every time) encounter strong emotions in your clients. It’s inevitable. They are humans! The only exception is if you are coaching some other species. But it is a human being setting in your coaching chair, then you can anticipate and expect that you will have to deal with emotions on a regular basis.

To that end, we devote the morning of Day 3 in ACMC training to “state” — and especially to emotions. We define an emotion using the two NLP definitions and then using the two Neuro- Semantic definitions. Remember? We then spend some time on how to approach an emotion in your clients, especially tabooed emotions— those which have been prohibited. To that end, we use the permission frame and typically, we do a demonstration on the morning of Day 3 to show the power of the permission frame and how to use it. Why? Because when you know that, you have the key to emotional intelligence and how to coach for E.Q. with individuals and/or groups.
