Out of the Box Coaching
 Field Guide:
How to Encourage and Accelerate Change


"Problems cannot be solved by thinking within the framework in which the problems were created." -- Albert Einstein.

      
   Cover art Lawrie Dignan

When clients' customary view of the world is all they know, it’s hard for them to find their way out of a problem. Your task as a coach is one of mirroring and reframing – seeing how filtered views of the world operate and how to break free of patterns that have been unwittingly reinforced. While the skills covered here can be used with any personality model, I use the Enneagram as a short-cut to understanding the self-limiting qualities of worldviews. The nine Enneagram styles are summarized in the first article

This 116-page guided study program with practice exercises shows how to foster transformational change by:

- defining problems so they're solvable; using reframing, metaphors, and possibility language;
- identifying, embracing, and transforming limiting patterns; encouraging breakthrough thinking;
- creating behavioral assignments that interrupt the patterns; designing Enneagram workshops;
- and much more.
