SOLUTION BUILDING VIA FINDING RESOURCES

Finding, building, developing, and applying resources to a problem or the person is perhaps NLP’s par excellence contribution for creating solutions. That makes it inherently a solution focus approach as a Meta-Coach. When you learn NLP, you learn from day one to begin asking the resource question, “What resource do you need so that you can handle that?” The resource question is built into the SCORE model— “R” in that model stands for resources. Resources is what enables a person to move from today to tomorrow.

What is a resource? It could be something external— time, money, personnel, friends, network, books, library, a computer, iphone, and on and on. It could be something internal— an idea, a belief, a decision, an understanding, a strategy, a state, and on and on. The word itself, re-source, speaks about getting back to your source— what you’re about, what you’re trying to do, your purpose, your center. Whatever it is, a resource enables you to function more effectively and productively. You are able to achieve your goals, actualize your intentions, and take effective action.
