Leveling in this context is used as an intransitive verb. Leveling as a means to bring persons or things to another level and to deal frankly and openly with one another.

It has similarities with coaching but it's not the same. Coaching implies a certain hierarchy: a coach and a student. Coaching implies a context in which one instructs or trains (the sender) and the other is being instructed or trained (the receiver). I don't have anything with these kind of structures. For me this structure of coach and student feels malaligned or even maligned. It feels outdated to me. The time we're living in needs something else, past old hierarchies and models.

So what am I offering here? Is leveling another word for coaching? Is another name being used for the same thing? No, I don't intend that at all. Leveling as a word popped up into my mind, as a reference to meeting good friends where leveling is one of the initial phrases for setting up the occasion ("let's level again tonight" or "when can we level again?"). When meeting good friends in the context of leveling, we share openly what's going on, what is bothering or what is limiting us. The other listens and shares. Viewpoints are exchanged and insights arise. New mental connections are being made and new vistas arise.

In a space where I meet other human beings in equality, magic is allowed to happen. That's wat leveling is about. With leveling we meet as friends in a friendly environment. Although I do bring specific qualities into this session, I'm not considering myself to be your coach or your trainer. You are the captain of your ship. I don't make use of specific methods, models or tactics and I'm not bothered by any frame of references from scientific research. I bring my mind into the meeting of each other. Who knows where it will lead.

In leveling we're equal, but not similar. There's unity, but not uniformity. We come together, yet we're unique individuals with unique expressions.

And if this what is meant by coaching for you, no worries, what's in a name after all?
