FRAMING TO DETECT PATTERNS

Today I am here in Mexico City with the PCMC Training group. This is the very first time we have run PCMC in Mexico, and today we are focusing on framing and pattern detection. Today the coaching sessions are focusing on these skills. We are doing that, in part, because these are the skills which we benchmark at the PCMC level and, in part, because this is what makes Meta-Coaching so dynamic. Now framing is not just the pre-framing that a coach sits at the beginning of the session, that’s far too easy and obvious. The true skill of framing involves recognizing the operational frames which the client brings to the session and sets new frames that facilitates the coaching session. This is the skill of framing in real time, moment to moment, during the dialogue of the conversation.
