METANOIA MODEL™

The Metanoia Model™ is a proprietary process designed specifically for group or community coaching. 

The goal of the coaching exchange is to support each group in identifying and making progress toward implementing a policy, system, or environmental change within their organization or system as a tool to transform culture. 

Most of the coaching industry focuses resources on individuals at executive level positions as a strategy for impact. At Metanoia, we prioritize coaching collective groups towards a common goal. 

THREADS OF TRANSFORMATION

 

The Metanoia Model™ was originally deployed in 2017 in response to the opioid crisis. Community champions across the San Luis Valley gathered in a gymnasium in rural Colorado to build collective solutions to address their local priorities.

Since 2017, the model has evolved across public health topics, such as mental health, youth cannabis use, hurricane response, COVID-19, 2SLGBTQIA+ advocacy, suicide prevention, leadership development, burnout prevention and succession planning.

 THE THREAD THAT CONNECTS

Power of connection is truly remarkable.

When we are connected, we move deeper into the present, take action, and craft collective results which shape our future.

Exploring our differences makes us part of something greater than ourselves.

By seeking out the humanity in ourselves and others, we can achieve inspiring transformation.

Metanoia, a call to action.
