THE COACHING ART OF DIAGRAMING CONCEPTS

Because (as you know from Coaching Mastery) my memory is getting so much better with every year I get older (!), I seldom take notes when demonstrating coaching sessions. So people frequently ask the following questions:

“Do you ever take notes in a coaching session?”

“Would you recommend taking notes while coaching?”

“If you do recommend note-taking, how would you take notes?”

Answer: Yes I do recommend taking notes. Especially take notes if you have not used the Learning Genius of Neuro-Semantics to update your beliefs and strategies about your memory, a piece of paper with notes on it will greatly help you remember. And if you work with someone who is presenting more than 5 levels of frames about something, I highly recommend note taking. Be sure you maintain rapport as you do so, and be sure that you make notes about the critical and relevant things, not everything. That’s a bit about the how, but there’s more.
