Core Coaching is a specific method of coaching created by Wolfgang Stabentheiner founder of FUTURE training, berating, coaching, and developed over the last 20 years by Master Coach, Anita Hussel-Arnold.

The method, as the name suggests, provides the opportunity for you to explore your individual core attitudes, ideas, behaviour patterns, relationships, etc. and offers you the option of transforming these if necessary.

Processes

This is done by using techniques or processes that help to focus on specific aspects of your life. They provide a safe framework in which you are able to go a little deeper, more profoundly, into your own understanding.

The names of some of these processes will give you an idea of the sort of focus I am talking about.

Relationship Clarification
Responsibility Clarification
Communication Process
Up-Root Technique
Re-call Process...

An important aspect of Core Coaching is that your coach is there to guide you through these processes, not to tell you what to do or be. Respect for the individual is therefore a priority. This is supported by the use of a simple Muscle Test, based on the principles of kinesiology, during the session.

The Muscle Test

A part of a core coaching session includes the use of a simple Muscle Test based on the principles of Applied Kinesiology. Muscle Testing gives feedback on the state or condition of a person, as expressed through the muscle, in reaction to a certain situation. Simply put, how we feel is registered in our muscles.

In Coaching the salient point is that it is helpful to get past the congnitive response that our solution orientated minds tend to offer us, and reach the deeper sometimes repressed or buried issues that our nervous/muscular system reminds us of. Therefore by taking into account what the body has to “say”, we can for example, get past conditioned responses acknowledge the underlying or actual issues that cause us confusion and stress.

The Muscle Test is however only used as an indicator to guide the session. It is not considered to be completely infalliable.

International Network

As the first English native speaker to have completed the full FUTURE training, I can’t wait to start sharing this method internationally!

With the full support of the founders Wolfgang Stabentheiner and in partnership with Anita Hussel-Arnold, we are planning a series of introductory days in Scotland, Ireland, England and Wales in 2009, and further afield the US and Australia as demand dictates. I would be happy to hear from - Coaches, Therapists, Mental Health Workers, Psychologists and Universities interested in finding out more.
