GRAB THE SUBJECT AND GET YOUR OUTCOME

Question: Do you know the difference between the subject and the outcome of a session? Having just completed the PCMC Training here in Mexico City, I discovered that one thing preventing some Meta-Coaches from being effective with well-formed outcome questions was failing to make this distinction. If you have struggled with the same, then here is the distinguish between the subject of the session and the outcome.

The Subject of a Session It all begins with question one where you invite your client to identify what he wants. “What do you want?” “What do you really, really want?” And as you know, your client may or may not know! Nevertheless your client will begin talking about something and whatever that is— that is the opening subject of the session. So say so. When you do, you are classifying (framing).
