Human Connection Superstar…

​Human Connection skills and techniques are essential to thrive in our emerging Connected Culture.

We all need Human Connection skills to develop friendships, customers, partnerships, advocates and allies… the “Stuff” our Dreams are made of.

The Industrial Culture is toxic and traumatizing for most of us! It is designed to both neglect and control our Human Nature to make us obedient and compliant workers and consumers.

We all end up feeling:

• Like we don’t quite fit in or belong here
• Like there is something wrong with us
• Like we are not quite good enough

Then we are always seeking some “THING” to finally fix ourselves.

We are never going to find it because that “THING” does not exist.

With Transformation Coaching we will rediscover our Human Nature and RE-HUMANIZE for post-traumatic GROWTH!

We will practice 3 essential areas of Human Connection

• Explore for Visibility = be seen and known in a community
• Relate for Influence = play for “YES!, let’s do this together.”
• Co-create for Inspiration = play together for new shared experiences

The GOOD NEWS: We can practice these! We can each develop our own YOUnique way to do them with our own style and energy. Like art or athletics. They are COACH-ABLE!

In the Next Gen Coaching Event…

We are going to practice and coach a variety of real world human connection situations.

We will have deep transformational fun together!

You are going to leave with embodied confidence to connect with people, play your Dream and be a bright light for the people in your world!

They need your light. They need you.

Next Gen Coach…

Version 1 coaching was created in the 90’s out of the Industrial Culture. It was a goal-oriented mashup of creative problem solving and enthusiastic task management.

Next Gen Coaching is for the Connected Culture! It includes transformational coaching techniques to practice Human Connection Skills! It also includes powerful mindset shifts taping into the awesomeness of our Human Nature.
Here is a quick peak at a few transformations:
From: working on tasks to achieve success
TO: Playing Dreams to live peak experiences

From: creative problem solving
TO: Playful co-creation

From: enthusiastic task management (aka accountability)
TO: Guided Practice for embodied confidence!

3 problems with Version 1 coaching
#1) It was hard to distinguish from Therapy and Counseling
#2) It was hard to do well and wasn’t really that effective for most clients
#3) It wasn’t really true to the essence of coaching
Other than that… it was pretty great. LOL

Next Gen Coaching solves these 3 problems
#1) No one will confuse play and practice with therapy! (That’s for sure).
#2) Because play is in our Human Nature, it is very natural to do. (When you learn the techniques)
#3) Because guided practice is the centerpiece, it is absolutely true to the essence of coaching.
EVERYONE KNOWS THAT COACHING IS ABOUT PRACTICE!
(except Version 1 Coach Training Programs)

In the Next Gen Coaching Event…

We are going to have so much fun practicing Transformation Coaching Techniques and Mindsets.

The Dark Side of Coaching…

To succeed in coaching. You MUST…

1. Rise above the noise of the overcrowded coaching industry
2. Dominate your niche
3. Demonstrate that you are an expert authority.
4. Stop trading your time for money; you will never be free; Stop wasting time with people 1-1; Create a course so you can scale your coaching business
5. Focus on High Ticket Sales
6. Prove that you are better than all the other coaches out there

These messages are everywhere in the coaching space, and they keep us locked into the toxic Industrial Culture Mindset.

In the Next Gen Coaching Event…

We will engage in provocative conversations about how to transcend these toxic ideas that keep us separate and struggling.

For YOU as a Coach!

Transformation Coaching is the next generation of coaching.

We will practice techniques that you can use to uplevel the Human Connection Super Skills of your players. 

To be a Next Gen Coach, you need:

• Keen skills of observation
• Playful Co-Creation for growth
• Techniques to practice Human Connection

You will leave this event supercharged with confidence as a “Next Gen” coach.

Combine this with your new abilities to play in the Social world… Look out world!

You will have the ability to uplift people in the one area they are yearning for the most: Human Connection.
