AC111 Underlying Automatic Commitments (1) - Relection on this course

Moderator-Sherry Read

April 29, I took the teleclass course- AC111:. Underlying Automatic Commitments, in this course, what I impressed most is the sentence of “UAC’s are fundamental to all the ICA Coaching Power Tools”.

People are always committed to something, whether conscious of it or not. We engage in behaviors, which create outcomes in our lives, as a result of our underlying commitments, judgments or beliefs. Whatever a person is truly committed to they will experience. (Note: Whether or not the above premise is true, this is not what really matters here. We are interested in what empowers people and we have found this way of looking at life to be a very effective one.)

While we quoted from our reading material, we can see it very clear, a lot of people keeping doing thing at the way which they don’t aware it. There is UACs behind.

Our function as a coach is to help our clients to know their UACs and how to deal with it. The goal is to help our coach to aware it and break through it.

The best place to look for an UAC is within the situation in which you are confronted. In other words, by looking at the outcomes or the results we have in our life, which we don’t want. Going back to our original premise, which is: whatever a person is truly committed to they will create and experience, we can use these unwanted results to define what the underlying automatic commitment is in life.

Once the UAC is detected, it is time to do something about it. First, it allows one to be able to make a choice. The “owner” of the UAC has to decide whether or not to remain a “victim” of it, or take responsibility (own it) by addressing it. This kind of action is what we refer to as “taking action outside of it.” In sum, the power to overcome any given UAC comes from handling or“owning” the UAC rather than resisting or simply denying it.

This course is very important for a coach and we should aware our own UACs as well.
