To name a few:

Short term memory can only remember about 7 things (5 – 9 at most) and that is why the phone number is always seven digits.

Chartreuse is the most visible color since is places in the middle of the visible light frequency and as a result causes more receptors to fire.

Our brains aren’t all that great at probability tending to think more details make events more probable, when quite often they make them less likely since there are more items to complete.

There is a high probability that we will misremember past events, and quite easy to latch onto a suggested memory that never actually happened.

And as for remembering those dreams, the component of the brain that carries information to long term memory turns off during sleep and as a result dreams are not laced into long term memory. The only ones we tend to grasp and convert are the bits and pieces that remain in short term memory upon waking.

Emergent properties are intrinsic to complex systems, bringing with them greater depth as well as greater simplicity.

Take the example of water, 2 parts of hydrogen and 1 part of water unite to form a brand new entity with a unique quality not existent before called wetness.

In this time of full system collapse and reemergence, emergent properties are coalescing to orchestrating the arising of brand new elements into our lives. This is happening through the combination and recombination of elements in our lives into never seen before entities with new and emergent characteristics.

There are numerous changes (big and small) coming through from technology, population expansion, environmental issues, economic collapse (to name a few), that are alchemizing spectacular changes and never seen before results. These are the times and we are the people for a whole new order of being and doing, something that human potential evocateur Jean Houston calls Jump Time.

A new world is gestating - and because of this we need a different sort of mind to understand and align with the changes that are rising up to meet us left and right in our culture, county and world.

What are the characteristics of this new mind, the nature of this different consciousness that is gestating, this consciousness that must be complexx enough and yet simple enough to serve the deepest processes of life and not just our little local selves?

It’s obvious new characteristics of mind are needed, as Einstein said, “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. ”

So we repeat our question once again. What are these new characteristics? I intend to explore some possibities in the days and weeks ahead.

As Flash Gordon would say….Stay Tuned.

Emergent Coaching and the Eco™ Model

Author: John Waine, Executive Coach

What is wrong with the traditional coaching process?

This is a question that has been with me since I first came across the word, “coaching” and wondered what it meant. It arose out of a feeling that something was amiss in the coaching process; but could I put my finger on it? Could I heck. And not many people were even interested in trying.

Over the years of exploring change within myself, with clients and within this process called “coaching”, I would like to describe what appears to be a design flaw.

But first, let us take a step back. The coaching paradigm – it’s presuppositions, it’s models and its processes – evolved out of a need to facilitate effective change, and they do a very good job.

But could something have been missed?

Todd Epstein, the great NLP innovator and the most skilled practitioner that I have had the pleasure to witness, was once asked whether they was anything left to discover in the field of NLP. Now given that this question was asked on a month long Master Practitioner training in the field of NLP, supposedly build on the foundation of always learning, he got a little tetchy about it.

He said that, for all the models and processes that he and Robert Dilts had developed over the years, they had not even scratched the surface of what could be.

It is with this in mind, that I share with you a new model of Emergent Coaching Orientation™, which I hope will provide new distinctions and choices in the way people go about the art and science of personal evolution.

Emergent Coaching Orientation™ (ECO™) is a 3-Phase model of sensing the emerging potential, facilitating the unfolding of that potential, that leads to the becoming of that potential.

To begin with, it is worth sharing some of the distinctions of The ECO™ Model.

∞ Evolution vs Development

The ECO™ approach sees the individual as a fluid mysterious being which, at any one point in time, is expressing certain aspects of their potential, whilst suppressing the rest. It sees personal evolution as the ever-increasing circles of exploring new potential and making it known. This is in contrast to the development notion of skills being added, as if there was something static to add to.

∞ Emerging vs Out-There

In traditional coaching, clients are asked about their goals, or where they see themselves going. The focus tends to be on describing a future “out there” to which they will journey by a process of taking actions and learning.

The ECO™ approach is to sense that which wants to emerge over the coming days and weeks, and to enrich that experience so that it becomes a fully existing possibility within first. This approach feels more natural and organic to the client, emerging as it does, from who they are right now, as opposed to some notion of who they think they want to be.

∞ No Gap vs Big Gap

One of the benefits of this approach is that there is no “abstracted gap” between where the client is and where they want to go e.g. the goal.

It is this gap, that is THE design flaw in the existing coaching model.

This gap creates a vacuum in which doubts and fears can play. It is this gap, which coaches and client wrestle with. It is this gap which creates a false challenge, that of traversing it, when it doesn’t really exist. It is this gap which clients use to judge themselves.

Worst of all, the propagation of the traditional coaching model, gives people the impression that to change, requires the creation of a gap which they them must traverse.

Learning to sense that potential which wants to emerge and become in the world is a learned skill. Once learned, the client can deepen their experience and knowledge of this skill to meet the evolutionary demands through their life.

Traditional coaching can also be taught, but for me, it has more the hallmarks of an obstacle course; the goal, the obstacles, the resources, the timeframe, the support and so on. Thus, there are many different components to be mastered and employed.

In fact, all of these components are already integrated within each of us. By using the model of emerging potential, we find that we automatically know what direction to go in, what the challenges are, and the steps to take. Such aspects flow easily from our sense of emerging potential.

Recently, I collaborated with a client who has a significant Project Manager role in a multi-national corporation. This client had taken months off through stress-related symptoms. Now, she was back and once again, feeling the pressures.

Because of the way, many clients “see” traditional coaching – namely, as a way to fix themselves, or be “better” in some way – using a goal-oriented approach feeds into this perception.

Using the ECO™ approach, the client was simply asked to:

1. Describe her current situation with respect to work & life.

2. Asked to sense those aspects of herself that she feels would like to be expressed more and more over the coming days and weeks.

She pulled out a series of threads which she feels are emerging for her. Threads, which she feels she has suppressed and/or ignored in the past. For example, to balance her own needs with that of the company, and that, in the past, she had a tendency to serve the company at the expense of her health.

As an exercise, she was asked to write a short journal entry as the she that is emerging, in which is described what a typical day would be like, to reveal attitudes, approaches, behaviours and so on.

She found this great fun to do, and in reading out the journal entry, it had a cohesion that is rarely there with goal descriptions. Essentially, this is because we are going for the whole thing, namely the YOU you are becoming, rather than a specific goal.

Having enriched this experience of the emerging potential the client could sense more and more how, not only was this becoming a real possibility within herself, but she could feel that it was already happening almost of it’s own accord.

Given that natural emergence, she lay out some actions that she wanted to take to support this emergence, over the coming days.

Her description of the actions were that they seemed effortless; and not something she feels she has to do, or is resisting doing.

So, in this way, the client has set of on an emerging journey of self-discovery and evolution which feels utterly natural, organic and exciting.

For there is nothing more exciting that the anticipation of your potential being allowed to know itself.

An additional point worth making is that emerging potential can also be expressed in a variety of forms.

To give another brief illustration, a client was asked, “What is the potential that you sense really wants to emerge, and may have been waiting to do just that for a while now?” - his response was swift, “A book that I have been trying to write.”

His response suggests a perception of the book as goal, and his struggle to reach that goal, to traverse “the gap”. By shifting towards the books-that-wants-to-emerge through him, he could genuinely feel how the manifesting of this book was something which he can’t not do.

I use the double negative form, because when you have the experience of potential, which so wants to find it’s way into the world, there is a strong feeling of serving something that is bigger than oneself.

Needless to say, all models serve some more easily than others. This ECO™ model would suit coaches who work in a more intuitive way, and are excited by the experience of emerging potential being expressed in the world.

It is for coaches, who look at clients and see huge potential – but not only that. They see potential lining up to be brought out into the light; potential that has been suppressed, whose time has come.

Part of the Hilton Johnson Coaching Program includes an online virtual office website, a members site for coaches and their clients that includes everything from forums to secure email and chat ability, an extensive library of expert information (article and multimedia) on practically every health related issue, as well as goal setting tools and mood calendars. There is a Fitness Center that acts as your very own personal trainer that not only suggests what exercises to do and when, but also comes with videos on how to do the suggested exercises correctly. 

There are even a variety of unusual assessment exercises that help you determine such things as your auyervedic and enneagram types. (On the enneagram I’m a 2 - a helper - which is probably a good type for a health coach).

I got my first chance to begin exploring the site that has now become part of my bag of coaching tools this week, and have had a hard time stepping away from it, the information is so extensive and soooo sooo fun to use. You can find the site at http://www.healthcoachingu.com

Stage 1 – Pre-contemplation . Until we realize we have a problem we remain blissfully unaware that anything needs to be addressed, unconscious of the fact that there might be any kind of problem whatsoever.

Stage 2 – Contemplation. In this stage we realize there is a problem and something needs to be done, but we don’t know what nor are we ready to take action yet. This is the information gathering stage.

Stage 3 – Preparation. We are committed to making a change – but need to prepare ourselves first. This might mean, cleaning the ash trays out of the house, creating a plan, or setting up a support system.

Stage 4 – Action. We are now ready to put our plan in place and take action.

Stage 5 – Maintenance, maintenance, maintenance. Staying on course and chugging away until the new course of action overrides the old and becomes habitual.

Stage 6 – Termination. The new course is such an ingrained part of our life no more focus needs to be placed on the process of changing the old to the new.

Level II listening is focused listening with one’s focus placed completely on the communication coming from the speaker.

Level III listening, on the other hand, takes into account not only the words of the one who is speaking but also intuitive hunches, environmental factors, the proverbial ripples in the stream, emotional flavors and feeling tones, what the other is not saying as well as what they are saying. In other words, Level III listening is global listening, focused on the big picture.

A coach should always be listening at Level II or Level III but never at Level I. Level I listening is reserved for the client.

It is a good practice to monitor how we listen in the world. So many of us tend to fall into Level I listening,. no matter the circumstances. We tend to sift and evaluate all conversations in which we engage with the agenda of “What does this mean to me?”

Ordinary questions involve yes or no answers, while empowering questions are open ended that begin with who, what ,where, when, etc.

For example one might ask: How does such an action serve you? What concerns do you have about following that path? or Would you say more please?

By listening carefully, your intuition will prime you as to what the next step should be in the coach/client relationship.

There are no right or wrong questions in coaching but some questions are better then others.

1. Setting a Goal. What is the issue the client wants to resolve during their coaching session, such as eating more nutritiously, starting an exercise routine, or addressing an ingrained habit like smoking.

2. Creating Emotion – For the most part, people use 2 main emotions to escalate change. They include moving towards pleasure and away from pain, with the latter being the more powerful for most. To encourage desire for change it helps to bring the emotions into play to enhance these 2 catalysts of change.

3. Discussing the Starting Point of the one being coached. In order to get from point A to point B, one needs to know where point A is.

4. Uncovering the block. What has kept the client from success in the past? What is it they can’t seem to get beyond that stimulates them to seek out the services of a coach.

5. Taking Baby Steps (Kaizen) What is one small step the person being coached can take in the direction of their goal? A step so small they have no doubts that they could accomplish it. (We’ll speak more on kaizen in later posts – it’s the foundation of my whole coaching practice)

6. Uncovering Support – does the coachee have the support from family and friends they’ll need to follow through with their commitment?

7. Holding Accountable – the coach needs to hold the person being coached accountable by asking the question, “When will you take the baby steps you agreed to and how will I know you did it?”

All during the process, the coach is expected to maintain a non-judgmental atmosphere of deep listening conducive to questioning and uncovering the hidden gems of possibility.
