Meta-Coach Training System
Discover the internationally recognized Meta-Coach certification pathway—integrating Neuro-Semantics and NLP into a comprehensive coaching system for professional excellence.
What is Meta-Coaching?
The integration of NLP and Neuro-Semantics for professional coaching excellence
The Neuro-Semantics Approach
Meta-Coaching is a rigorous, competency-based coaching system that integrates the most powerful models from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Neuro-Semantics. Unlike superficial coaching approaches, Meta-Coaching provides a comprehensive framework for facilitating human transformation through meaning-making mastery and self-reflexive consciousness.
Developed by Dr. Michael Hall and Michelle Duval, Meta-Coaching is built on the understanding that sustainable change occurs when people transform their mental frames—the structures of meaning through which they interpret experience. Coaches learn to facilitate this transformation through precise conversation patterns, state management, and the Matrix Model which maps the seven dimensions of human experience.
The Coaching Difference
Meta-Coaching distinguishes itself through frame management rather than mere behavior modification. This approach builds directly on the Personal Growth and Neuro-Semantics principles. By working at the level of meaning, belief, and identity, Meta-Coaches facilitate change that is generative and self-sustaining. Clients don't just achieve goals—they become more resourceful, self-aware, and capable of ongoing self-actualization.
