Co-Active Coaching in China
Last week, CTI did it‘s first Fundamentals course in Beijing. While it‘s exciting to be able to bring Co-Active Coaching to a new country, it‘s always a little scary too.
There‘s always a slight hesitation. . .will the model communicate? Will people from such a different culture be able to relate to what we are trying to say?
Yet in my heart, I always know it will be ok. There is something about the model of Co-Active Coaching that invites people to meet beyond our differences in a place that is very real and very human. When it comes right down to it, we are not so different after all.
I believe that this is the essence of our contribution; to provide an environment for people to experience both their own uniqueness and also their interrelationship and connection to other people.
It is a language of the heart and with an occasional snag now and then, does a pretty good job of giving people an opportunity to connect to what is most important.
The Fundamentals in Beijing SOARED by the way, with leaders and participants alike leaving inspired and changed forever.
There‘s so much talk these days about ROI and how to make a business case for coaching. There is really good work being done in that arena and I‘m all for it. It‘s important to meet people where they are and to learn to talk about what we do in ways that everyone can understand.
At the same time, I think it we need to remember that at it‘s best, Co-Active Coaching is about connecting people to that place of essence, of shared humanity that unites us all.
As that great credit card advertising series says “Improved job skills. . . X amount of value; professional opportunity. . .Y amount of value; being connected to one‘s own place in the family of things. . .priceless.”
