The reason Erickson training is so effective is because it:
• Aligns with how the human brain actually operates; • Allows the coach to strongly assist a person to be highly effective at producing specific measurable, achievable, realistic results within a specific time frame; • Is designed to empower the coach to utilize and amplify the operating systems of the human brain that most effectively help the person begin coached to:
a) envision goals or outcomes; and b) proceed toward the achievement of the goal or outcome in a focused, efficient and effective manner The coaching students are first instructed in the systemic, scientific skills of coaching, practice them in class and through triads between modules. When they have mastered these skills and the distinctions in coaching are like second nature, (the level of unconscious competence) they then begin to delve into the art of coaching, and allow this aspect to take a larger role in the coaching process.
At this level, the expression of art of coaching is much more effective in the hands of a skilled practitioner of coaching. This is true for most disciplines – for example, although many scientists have had a “eureka moment” where an effective solution to a problem suddenly appears, this only happens after thorough study and expertise in the field of study. Benefits: As an Erickson trained coach you receive: • an understanding of how the human brain works best to achieve desired outcomes; • easily learned, highly effective coaching models & diagrams to refer to that assist you to coach at a highly effective level; • a coaching model that is effective with minor variations in life coaching, business coaching and executive coaching; • a knowledge of where-to-go-next in a coaching conversation; • reliable models and training that take the guesswork out of coaching various types of clients; • an ability to coach at a highly effective level; • the gift of deeply assisting your clients on a mental, physical, and spiritual level;
