ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses Stanislav Grof's criticism, and analyses the active experimentation of experiential learning: it briefly outlines where and how the Integrated Experiential Coaching Model was applied and researched, and summarizes the findings of doctoral research. It explains how the Integrated Experiential Coaching Model has strong similarities to the "Friendly Disentangling" method or Quaker Persuasion Model. The chapter explores Mintzberg's some propositions, discussing whether or not the Integrated Experiential Coaching Model and its research can be related to them. The initial idea was to develop the theoretical Integrated Experiential Coaching Model, apply it in practice, and then do empirical research to validate the model. It became apparent that the variables involved in the Integrated Experiential Coaching Model were far too numerous to test a hypothesis. The transcendental phenomenological methodology consists of four steps: The Epoche process, Phenomenological reduction, Imaginative variation and Synthesis of meaning and essences.
