L.Michael Hall, Ph.D

I joined the seminar of the Meta-Coaching provided by Mr. Michael Hall.

He is the world authority of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming).

Coaching has been growing very fast and become a revolution in business

as a managerial tool in Japan. While coaching business became big, there are many

unqualified coaches out there which is undermining the value of coaching.

Therefore, coaching needs to have a systemic framework based on the best knowledge

in cognitive-behavioral science. Then, then skillful and effective coaches can

understand what to do and why so.

Meta-Coaching could be answer for it.

The difference between the current "Coaching" and "Meta-Coaching" is that

"Coaching" pays attention to "skill" and "behavior"level, on the other hand,

"Meta-Coaching" does to "Frame", "State (psychosomatic)" Emotion" and "belief".

Especially, Meta-Coaching emphasizes "Frame". It focuses on understanding the

structure of the frame of clients, in other word, understanding the "belief system".

I cannot say that I did understand the all about "Meta-Coaching" today.

But, it provided me with hint and useful knowledge to enhance the quality of my consulting.

After the seminar, I attended party and took a picture with him.

cherry blossom appreciation

The Japanese really love eating and drinking under the trees in full bloom.
And now is the time in Tokyo, Japan.

I go viewing cherry blossom every Spring.
Every time, I think that I could enjoy it much more if the drunk people are not so noisy. ..

Venti

I usually order a small or tall size of Caffè Latte in Starbucks. But yesterday, I was bold enough to purchase the largest size, Venti, of one.

Actually, I bought it with a coupon ticket of shareholder special benefit. Yesterday was the expiration date, so I was in a hurry to use it.

However, I wasn't used to such a large size of Latte so it was too much for me. I did realize the law of diminishing marginal utility.I felt uncomfortable after drinking it up. I shouldn't have been so greedy. Small size is the best for me..
