John Matthews is the co-founder
of the Australian Institute of Executive Coaching, and one of the
most effective and experienced executive coaches in Australasia.
When John learned the MasterProcess it had an immediate
impact on his coaching results:
“I coach Senior Executives in major
organisations. Although it may seem like an outrageous
statement, since I started using the MasterProcess I’ve
been able to accomplish in 20 – 40 minutes what previously
has taken sometimes months to effect with change-resistant
people. More executives are reporting that the sessions
help them to get to the heart of the matter more quickly,
and to devise strategies that they can implement immediately…(T)hey
see the immediate results of being able to unlock their
own thought processes and come up with new solutions, and
focus their energy to get the results they want.”
In September 2005 some of the Institute 0f Executive
Coaching’s coaches, managers and staff attended the MasterProcess workshop,
and verified that even the most experienced coaches will gain even
further skills from the MasterProcess. Alexandra
Gorman, an Associate Coach with the Institute, acknowledged how
much more the MasterProcess added to her already high
level of skills:
“While I had some idea of how to go
about a coaching process, the MasterProcess gave
me a failsafe way to work with individuals and groups both
in the government and corporate sectors. Very helpful,
useful, practical, solution-oriented and easy!”
Mandy Geddes, Program Co-Ordinator for the Institute
of Executive Coaching Australia accurately described one of the
most enlightening aspects of the MasterProcess - its ability
to tap into deeper consciousness:
“The MasterProcess is
a deceptively simple technique that reveals powerful solutions
for seemingly insurmountable problems. It empowers the
individual to access their own innate wisdom.”
Shirlaw’s Business Coaches was listed in the BRW
Fast 100 list in 2003, and is now growing internationally. In 2003
Shirlaw’s provided MasterProcess workshops for all of
Shirlaw’s coaches, and also for many of the CEOs of their business
clients. Robert Bentley was one of the coaches who attended. Robert
recognized that the MasterProcess is significantly more
effective than the usual coaching models and methodologies:
“The MasterProcess is fabulous
process for getting fast results in any situation. I’ve
been searching for something like for ages. The process
is a breeze when working with clients. An excellent process.”
One of the internal coaches in the HR department
at B&Q (the largest DIY retailer in the UK/Europe and the second
biggest in the world, with 30,000 employees) described the MasterProcess as
follows:
“A precise and highly effective
coaching model to use on a 1:1 basis. It helps to cut through
the issues and leads the individual to take responsibility
for their own actions….it has been very effective in producing
outcomes. It allows me to gain these results in a very
short period of time. I now coach differently. I facilitate
differently. I now coach myself using this process.”
Alex Savage is a Manager with B&Q. Alex coaches
senior managers and executives at B&Q.
“My life revolves around half-hour
meetings, making an impact and getting to the issue and
solution as quickly as possible. I have to get the solutions
in half an hour in my work. Using the MasterProcess as
a coaching tool speeds up the process. The MasterProcess
has definitely been useful to the Regional Managers and
Directors that I’ve worked with. I think it has been even
more helpful to me."
The penny dropped for Alex during the workshop, when
he realised how powerful and empowering the process was,
even though his ‘coach’ knew nothing about his issue:
“During the MasterProcess workshop
I paired up with [a colleague] who knew nothing about my
job or problem. I was very sceptical that she could help
me with the issue, but all she did was use the process
and I came away with a solution. That was the one thing
I remember - how she used the process not knowing anything about
what I do and helped me to solve an issue. It was amazing.
I fully admit that and appreciate that.”
The MasterProcess is equally effective
for life coaching. The Life Coaching Academy (Australia) provided
the MasterProcess to its graduates for both life coaching
and business coaching. Dianne Wilson, Life & Business Coach
says:
“The simplicity of the MasterProcess
as a coaching tool, and the speed with which it can be
applied, make it a fantastic addition to my coaching
toolkit. It is especially appropriate when dealing with
busy people who want results in a no-nonsense, time-efficient
manner.”
