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.
