AS A META-COACH YOU COACH STRUCTURE

In the last post (Morpheus #15) I wrote about the relationships between content and structure and focused on making sure you have grounded the coaching conversation in the everyday world that’s real for the client. Now let’s turn to the subject of structure. If we want to focus 70 to 80 percent of our attention to structure— what are we talking about and how do we do that?

Structure refers to the processes by which an experience is created and maintained. As a meaning-maker you construct your “experiences” using the representational systems. To make that explicit, we use the NLP Strategy Model and identify the representational steps in the person’s strategy for creating procrastination, indecision, perfectionism, efficiency, accelerated learning, or any of ten-thousand human experiences.
