Meta Coaching
Coaching is a term used in many different ways and meaning many different things. Coaching in the context of working with clients as individuals, teams and organizations, supports the development of one’s self and our skills to make changes and reach goals. The objective is to focus on future potential and how it can be achieved.

Where to go?
What is Meta Coaching?
In Meta Coaching* the coach moves up a level above the content of a problem, issue, dream, belief, etc creating contexts and situations where the client is able to discover his or her own powers.
How does it work?
A Meta Coach works through coaching conversations, enabling the client to speak his or her truth and find his or her own answers. This is significantly different to mentoring, consulting, teaching or therapy and does not involve any advice giving, making suggestions or solving the client’s problem. At the heart of the coaching conversation are transformational questions!
And what happens?
The power of these questions is to invite the client to endeavor to reach new places and discover transformative possibilities. The questions are designed to empower people so they can take charge of their own life, make decisions about their direction in life and become their own expert on how to handle setbacks and how to move forward in the development process.
In the coaching conversation the client analyzes the truth of his or her reality, encouraged by the supporting and listening skills of the coach, the coaching relationship and a suitable environment. Transformation and growth happens naturally as revelations become self-evident to the client in this process.
Coaching at its best is Meta Coaching!
Coaching at its best enables clients to practice and embody methods to self-actualize themselves even after the coaching relationship has ended.
(* Meta Coaching is a term that has been coined and since used by Dr L. Michael Hall, who developed the Meta States Model in 1994 and has written well over 30 books in the field of Neuro Semanics.)
