Missed it? Not to worry you can still hear this fabulous call by going to the past calls page and looking under the "ICF Exam Sessions"

No matter our level of coaching, let's dig in and get to the nitty gritty of what can make us a more masterful coach.

This particular modeling learning adventure is a great way to gain a clearer, deeper understanding of the competencies and how to artfully weave them into a session- all from a different angle!

As we listen to a colleague's real-world coaching session, our guest Master Coach Hayden Lee MCC will be demonstrating Master mentor coaching. Afterwards we'll have the chance to explore what we heard and ask our questions of Hayden and the coach.

Lucky us we get to hear 2 coaching demonstrations in one call!

Marion's highly acclaimed book The HeART of Laser-Focused Coaching: A Revolutionary Approach to Masterful Coaching is power packed!

Its full of "unprecedented" concepts and information that will help all coaches to transform their coaching, no matter what their level.

We will get to hear these concepts in-action as Marion coaches a real-world coaching session.

Afterwards we will discuss with her how the concepts played out in her session and ask any question.

Join us Thursday April 22 from 1-2pm EDT.

Join us for this fascinating look at an underutilized tool that can provide profound transformation for the coach!

And find out it how it may benefit the client.

I seem to be in the right space and the right place recently to have my circuits blown. My limiting beliefs are being exposed. And that place is "right" because it's allowing me to actually see something other than my belief, in action, followed by the remarkable results.

My latest experience occurred while hearing Tara Nolan's coaching session. The questions she asked her client were powerful and fascinating to me. They were so succinct and like a laser beam focused on what the client said she wanted. As coaches, of course we want to stay focused on what the client wants and not get interested in things that will just be a distraction. Hearing this session though, I have to say rocked my world. Who knew that attempting to clarify could possibly turn out to be just a distraction!

For example, there were times where I wasn’t clear on what the client was saying and would have asked for clarification or reflected back my understanding to make sure I was on the same page. Up until this session, I would have thought that was imperative. But with the specific laser beam type of questions Tara asked, the clarification that I felt was essential, wasn’t needed at all. In fact, I can see how it may have muddled the route and it certainly would have taken up more time. 

They say our normal patterns have to be disrupted in order for new awareness and learning to take place. Well disruption has occurred for me! And I am very grateful. Thanks to the Master's modeling, I now have among other things a more expansive and deeper understanding of focus and distraction.

We are so privileged! We get to go behind the curtain so to speak and hear a coaching session that passed the ICF MCC exam and the examiner's report.

And of course we get to debrief the session with Tara Nolan MCC and ask our questions. She's giving us a bonus 30 minutes to make sure we have plenty of time for it all.

Join us February 22!

It was a very insightful MMC call with Marilyn Ohearne MCC mentoring her client Liz as we listened to Liz’s wonderful coaching session.

Marilyn is a known expert in cultural competence and all forms of bias.

I don’t know whether we can call what I experienced when hearing the coaching session a bias per se but it was most definitely a belief that created a huge blindspot for me.

In a nutshell:

The coached asked if there was anything the client needed before they began the session.

The client said a meditation.

The coach asked would there be a goal or intention?

The client said yes to help her get centered.

Then the coach asked would you like to lead the meditation or would you like for me to?

As silly or dramatic as it may sound, that question rocked my world! 

Of course, it’s about what the client wants and needs and we want to inquire to find out. And of course we don’t want to make assumptions, etc. That’s coaching 101, right?

And… it would never have occurred to me to ask if the client wanted to lead the meditation!

I’ve meditated for over 30 years; I’ve lead meditations and been led into meditation. And for whatever reason, it was not in my consciousness that this was even an option. Who, when asking for a meditation to center themselves, would want to lead the meditation themselves?

I’m pretty diligent about working with my limiting beliefs but I had no idea this belief was there and when revealed I was completely thrown for a loop. I don’t know that I would have ever been aware of it had I not heard this coaching session.

This was a tremendous gift for which I am really grateful. It has inspired me to be even more conscious, more aware.

It was a profound experience of how a belief can completely erase awareness and any possibility for choice. What an invaluable lesson, never to be forgotten!

In these continuing turbulent times we are living in, what's helping you stay centered?

Silence has always been my saving grace. And now more than ever it's my lifeline. It feeds my soul and restores my mind and body. This of course is a conscious decision I make to find and rest in the stillness. 

Over the years, the benefits of spontaneous silence have become more and more intriguing to me especially within the context of the coaching conversation.

Many of the Masters on this program have powerfully demonstrated the immense value of this in-the-moment choice to allow the quiet to reveal it's magic.

On this month's coaching call with Diana Ideus we got to hear the recording of one of her coaching exam sessions that passed the ICF MCC exam! She demonstrated during this session what I am calling silence on steroids! One coach participant said "Every coach needs to hear this call."

Hope you will feel inspired to listen and marvel!

Coaches often discuss amongst themselves the advantages, disadvantages, benefits and challenges of 2 predominant coaching models: the more directive/consultative approach and the straight exploratory/discovery coaching style.

What's missing is the opportunity to compare both styles to each other with the same coach, the same client and the same issue.

This Grand Trine Coaching Experience does just that!  

We will have the never before opportunity to:

• Hear coaching sessions with the same Master Coach and the same 2 clients on each call using the two different coaching models 
• Delve into each client's experience of the 2 models and their results 
• Debrief with the Master Coach and ask questions about both models and sessions

Neither of the clients is in the coaching profession. One has never had coaching and the other has only had marketing coaching before. They both will meet Ben for the first time on the call. 

This series is now over but you can read all about it on the past calls page under the "Grand Trine Experience" tab.
