Useful Questions: How many different ways are there for
you to do this? - Who/what might help? - What has worked
before/for others? - What about some wild ideas?
3b - focussing in on appropriate strategies
What from the brainstorm might be selected as a strategy that is
realistic for the speaker, in their circumstances, consistent with
their values? Forcefield analysis can be used here to look at
what internal and external factors (individuals and
organisations) are likely to help and hinder action and how
these can be strengthened or weakened respectively. "I would
feel comfortable trying to have a conversation with him about
how he sees things".
Skills for Stage 3b: Facilitation of selecting and reality
checking.
Useful Questions: Which of these ideas appeals most? Which is most likely to work for you? - Which are within
your resources/control?
3c - moving to action
The aim is to help the speaker plan the next steps. The strategy
is broken into bite-size chunks of action. Here the speaker is
doing almost all the work, producing their action plan. The
helper works with them to turn good intention into specific
plans with time scales. Whilst being encouraging, it's also
important not to push the speaker into saying they'll do things
to please the helper. "I will make sure we have time together
before the end of the month. I will book a meeting, so that we
can be sure of quiet uninterrupted time. I will organise this
before Friday".
Skills: Facilitation of action planning.
