These transformational coaching programs will challenge you to grow into power in the following three areas:
Your authenticity as a coach
- You’ll emerge with a deep understanding of yourself (intrapersonal development) and how you relate with others (interpersonal development)
- Your strongest abilities and individual powers will be thrown into sharp relief; you will discover the place from which you will excel as a Coach and be empowered to Coach with and from your uniqueness
- You will learn how to cast off previous struggle and confusion about balancing life and work
- You'll find out how to integrate training, consulting, counseling and mentoring in a truly congruent life path
Your coaching skills and mastery
You'll gain credibility and confidence from a thorough grounding in the most advanced cognitive behavioural coaching models in the field including:
The Axes of Change model - As the very first non-therapeutic model for facilitating change in the field of Coaching, the Axes of Change model is becoming recognised by many academic institutions as the most cutting edge development in the field to date. Developed by Hall and Duval in 2003, based on self-actualising premises and the naturally occurring change process of healthy people, this simple yet revolutionary model gives you (as a Coach) 9 integral skills for coaching change and 9 critical roles to play as a change agent
The Neuro-Semantic Benchmarking model - Where is your client in their process of change? How do you know? How much more skill development do you need before you will have the coaching skills of a master? By what criteria are you measuring this? What is your benchmark for success? The NS model for Benchmarking your skill development accelerates your learning, seeking to close the elusive knowing-doing-gap. This exhilarating model puts your theory to the test, by demonstrating what you can actually do - initially against 7 core-coaching skills and ultimately against 26 coaching skills. Through being benchmarked yourself you learn the art and science of shaping performance through Benchmarking
The Matrix model - This revolutionary model for mapping human functioning brings together all the very best from the fields of Systems, NLP and NS into one comprehensive model. Initially developed by Dr. Hall in 2001 for working with the mind-body-emotion systems of humans this model has also become a critical model for working within organisational, family, and cultural systems. This model finally gives the new and experienced coach a model for facilitating systemic change - using psychological premises and specific NLP and NS change patterns for knowing precisely what to do when
The Neuro-Semantics Self-Actualization Models - There are three NS self-actualization models: the NS Self-Actualization model specifies the theoretical frameworks of the concept of self-actualizing (making actual one's potentials by mobilizing resources), the Marix of self-actualization, and the Self-Actualization Quadrants. These models detail the definition, meaning, components, and processes of actualizing one's best possibilities. In the context of coaching, these models actualize the best visions in the human potential movement by Maslow, Rogers, Carl, and others by giving practical processes
Your coaching business (or coaching within an organisation or institution)

Fast-track your own business or your organisation’s success by hearing, questioning, and replicating the practices of expert coaches as you ask them about their marketing strategies, invaluable contacts, even their business/organisational secrets

The system of Meta-Coaching
In developing the Meta-Coach Training System, Dr Hall and Michelle Duval took into account the dynamic psychological complexity of people, and relied upon critical variables and principles from several fields of human and adult development.
Meta Coaching can be defined as:
- A conversation, a dialogue that gets to the very heart of things
- A conversation that facilitates self-reflective mindfulness; awareness of our assumptions and the thoughts “in the back of our mind” that influence our feelings and emotions, our actions and behaviours, our speaking and communicating. This can also be explained as growing our “emotional intelligence.”
- The facilitating of change, enabling new learning, performance, development, even transformation of vision and mission.
- The implementing of what we know, closing the knowing-doing gap, transferring principles and concepts so they make a difference in practice.
- Working systemically with a person’s mind-body-emotion system within the contexts of business, career, relationships, health, etc.
- Mobilising internal resources to unleash new possibilities so the client actualises his or her best strengths, potentials, and capabilities
The meta-coaching models covered in the Meta-Coach Training System
- Communication: The NLP communication model
- Meta-Communication: The Meta-States model
- Change and Learning: The Axes of Change model
- Implementation: The Benchmarking model

Course benefits (both ACMC and ICMC)
The coaching mastery bootcamp gives new and experienced coaches the power to:
- Provide specific key performance indicators (KPIs) and models to help you know what to do, when, with whom and why during the coaching process. This will allow you to feel confident and competent in facilitating change, get to the heart of things quickly, while identifying leverage points for change in working with people.
- Benchmark intangible skills and concepts. With the Benchmarking model you will be able to take any (seemingly) intangible skill, objective, mission statement, or value and identify the behavioral equivalents that you can use for measuring effectiveness and progress. This will allow you to mark and measure things that otherwise would be vague and ambiguous, while creating metrics for giving sensory-based feedback for skill and competency development.
- Get access to models, distinctions and concepts at the cutting edge of adult human development, for the unleashing of new potentials within yourself and others. With the Self-Actualization model and quadrants and the Meta-States model, you will be able to pinpoint the precise resources for calling forth the right resource at the right time. This will allow you to increase your confidence as a leader and/or coach in developing people.
- Step above content to the structure of your client’s problems and challenges to be able to see processes in motion by thinking systemically. With the Matrix and Meta-State models you will be able to think structurally as you converse and not get seduced by the story, but recognise the key patterns at play. This will help you find the leverage points for learning, insight, resources and change as you detect higher level patterns and quickly invite new insights, understandings and awareness.
- Clearly understand and recognise the boundaries between coaching and other modalities like consulting, therapy, mentoring, and training. This will Increase your confidence in the skill of coaching, allowing you to get in the zone of your expertise.
- Model expert coaches and leaders. With the Matrix and Meta-States model you will be invited to model expert coaches, leaders, and entrepreneurs as you practice seeing structure and replicating best practices. This will allow you to pick up secrets from the experts through asking questions, seeing them in action, and receiving a real time feedback for your own coaching mastery.
- Receive ongoing support and development. Because Meta-Coaching is an International community of people in more than 35 countries, you will become part of the coaches e-group at Meta-Coach Foundation where you can ask questions, network, create alliances, and feel the support of a larger association. This will help you keep up with the current developments in the field of coaching.
- Discover how to coach to a person’s perceptual filters (Meta-Programs) and work at the structural level for accelerating learning and transformation. By expanding our perceptual filters, which colour the way we look at the world, our flexibility is enriched and our choices expanded. This will help you experience a wider range of choices about how to view things, more expansiveness in creativity, more ability to get rapport with different people, more effectiveness in your persuasion skills and handling “difficult” people.
