Creating the Perfect Goal
Live training Accelerator Day 2 with Sarah Urquhart
Successful coaching depends on successful goal-setting. A significant attribute of the perfect goal for your client is that it supports their life values. In this way goal setting can support and enhance everything that the client does.
It obviously follows that it is vital for you as a coach to understand the client’s values. What is driving their decision making? How do the client’s values affect their actions and behaviour? As a coach your own life values may be considerably different to those of your client, but it is easy to see that the perfect goal needs to match the client’s view of the world rather than your own, as it is the client who needs to take the action.
A key strand of NLP is the need to use language at its most precise. If you are to effectively support clients, using language with precision will enable you to clarify goals, challenge your client to be utterly precise about their intentions to move forward, and reframe ideas and situations.
On this live training day you will also be introduced to the mind of one of the greatest and most creative of people – Walt Disney. In terms of goals the aim here is to learn strategies for creative goal-setting. Creative goals are often inspiring ones, the goals that lead to maximum commitment and therefore success.
