There's a wonderfully sneaky aspect toCoachville. You think you're developing yourself as a coach, but in doing so,you're evolving yourself as a whole person.

Mack Arrington, PCC
Coach

You already have strong “basic” Human Connection Skills as your foundation

You can introduce yourself to a stranger
You can reach out to a friend to check in on them
You can ask great questions
You can provide judgment-free listening
You can access your empathy and intuition to provide thoughtful responses.

YES!

With these Human Connection Skills you are better off than most people. But to be a coach – or coach approach leader – in the days ahead, youneed to be even better. It’s time to Level up.

AND...

With people addicted to social media algorithms, malignant influencers convincing people that caring is bad and cruelty is good, and AI tech flooding the world with artificial intimacy and fake information…

WE ALL NEED TO RAISE OUR HUMAN CONNECTION SKILLS!

The Quick Backstory

Thomas Leonard, the founder of professional Life Coaching and the founder of CoachVille, used to say that: “Coaching is an advanced form of Human Relating”. I was always inspired by that thought. But now, 25 years later, I feel we need to raise the bar and say it in a new way: Coaching REQUIRES advanced Human Connection SKILLS.

In 2001, Thomas and I hosted the first CoachVille Conference in Las Vegas, USA. 1,000 people attended, making it the largest ever coaching event at that time. Still few coaching events have matched it.

At the event, Thomas teased the audience that we were going to create the next level of advanced coaching skills. 

I was shocked. He never told me about that part!

AND he invited the group to buy a ticket to the event in Phoenix a few months later.

‍

Then…
we REALLY GOT BUSY.

Over the next 3 months we spoke every day and gathered the CoachVille R&D Team of 100 coaches via conference call several times each week. I was coaching A LOT and Thomas was really good at asking me questions to figure out what I was doing.

Thomas had something I call: The SKILL of SKILLS.

He could listen to a story of something you did and figure out the SKILL that made it possible… and then… his superpower… give it a really good name.

The result of all these explorations and R&D conversations: The 15 Coaching Proficiencies.

We explored and debated every word. Including the word “proficiency”.

“Proficiency” is ADVANCED SKILL.

In Phoenix we led the first ever Coach Intensive where we explored these advanced skills together.


They included:

#01 Engages in Provocative Conversations

#02 Reveals the Person to Themselves

#03 Elicits Greatness.

… all the way to

#15 Respects the Persons Humanity

‍

Now…
24 years later…

I see these advanced coaching skills in a new – and important – way:
‍

These are the Advanced SKILLS of Human Connection.

These are the Advanced SKILLS you need for influence and impact.

These are the Advanced SKILLS you need to thrive in business, leadership and life in the “After AI” Age we are now living in.

Get new skills

AND…
it’s time for us to level up as well.

Something important HAS to change…
We need to provide the Coach Intensive learning experience in a MUCH BETTER WAY than we did in 2001. We need a true “Coach Approach”.

Round Text

The “Just Do It” Delusion

The event we did from 2001 – 2005 … let’s just say it was “information heavy”.

You have probably attended many events like this. From the front of the room, you get a fire hose of information. You sit there writing pages of notes in a notebook and occasionally do a breakout exercise with a partner sitting next to you.

By the end you are glassy eyed, drunk with information…. But “excited” to implement what you learned when you get home.

Then… not much happens. 

Why?

Because Information does NOT give you SKILLS.

You cannot GIVE someone skills by telling them about skills. Even if what you are telling them is practical or insightful. (and it was)

Reserve your seat now

There is ONLY ONE WAY to get new SKILLS.

Back in 2001, we were all stuck in the “information is power” concept.

The concept was that if you gave people the information then they could “just do it”.

HAH! 

We have since learned that this is a delusion.

Even though almost every personal growth training program is based on this delusion.

We all need MORE than information to develop SKILLS; especially ADVANCED SKILLS.

‍

‍

The 16th Proficiency

A few years after Thomas died, I wrote what I called: The 16th Proficiency”

“Sounds mystical right?”

The ONE SKILL needed to unlock the other 15 Advanced SKILLS.

I called it:

‍

‍

#16: Practices First

You cannot GIVE someone SKILLS.
‍

I’ll say it again because it bears repeating…

What I have learned over the past 20 years is that:

You cannot just tell someone what the skill is and then expect that they can “just do it”. 

The only way to get new SKILLS is to PRACTICE!

As a coach, in every coaching session you do, after you co-create with your player what they plan to do, YOU SAY: “Let’s practice first”.

Then you practice with them before they try to do it in the world.

THAT is how coaching works. And this is why we specialize in practice techniques in our Coach Education programs.

 

Now, this is important: The only way to get ADVANCED SKILLS is guided practice with a coach and / or other people also already have very good skills as well.

You don’t get “Advanced” by practicing with someone who is not very good.

 

This is what we will do in the 2-Day Coach Intensive.

We will gather together with awesome humans who have good Human Connection Skills, and we will Guide Practice of the 16 Coaching Proficiencies… to level each other UP to ADVANCED SKILLS.

Get new skills

WHY would you want to develop Advanced Human Connection SKILLS?

Well, hopefully by now your imagination is already on fire with a few good reasons. But let me add some fuel to the fire!
‍

I believe that in the very near future, Human Connection SKILLS coaching will be the most in demand coaching specialty in the world; for a few reasons I will share in a moment.

But if you want to be hired as a Human Connection Coach, or a coach approach leader, you will need to be at EASE with Advanced Human Connection SKILLS.

When people interact with you, they need to FEEL how strong your Human Connection Skills are.

No one hires a bad tennis player to be their tennis coach!

When you are easily demonstrating Human Connection in your own life, business and leadership, you WILL be a magnet for people who want your level of SKILL.

Why will Human Connection SKILLS be in such demand?

A few obvious reasons…

1.

You will guide them toward these new jobs.

AI is going to start replacing lots of jobs and businesses. So, then what are the real people going to do. NO ONE KNOWS . But we know this: the ONLY jobs for people will be NEW jobs that require strong Human Connection SKILLS… what the AI bots and agents can’t do.

2.

You will guide them into “the REAL world of Human Connection”

AI is going to make social media a flood zone of “fake stuff”. As this happens people are going to leave their computers and look for REAL human connections in the world. Then they are going to realize… they DON’T KNOW HOW TO DO IT! They are afraid and they need a HUMAN coach who can provide a safe space to practice.

3.

You will guide them back to the power that is within them.

Human Connection SKILLS are the solution to almost every problem… and there are SO MANY PROBLEMS.You know it. You see it.
People are “lonely” even though they are surrounded by people.People are prone to addiction because they don’t feel belonging.

People have their attention easily hijacked by social media algorithms.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.But the root cause of these problems is a LACK of Human Connection SKILLS.They yearn for Human Connection, but they literally don’t know how to do it. That is why these problems happen in the first place.

When you register...

We will send you guide
