Session length: 90 minutes
Glad you can join me today. I will coach using the Perfect Scan to show how this model can be used to address challenges and optimize performance.
First, I’ll give an overview of the model to orient you to how to work on the 7 different levels. Each one can be a resource and/or an obstacle.
The point is, when you are in a session, and feel stumped, this mnemonic can help remind you and therefore help you access what you know. It can help point you to areas where you most need to learn.
Each of these includes multiple theoretical perspectives and tools and helps you organize what you’ve learned.
These are:
Physical: including basic self care, neuropsychology, medical issues etc.
Environmental: the non-personal context, culture etc.
Relational: personal relationships, optimal relationships, the platinum rule etc.
Feelings: one’s emotional profile, EI etc.
Effective thinking: one’s cognitive profile, preferences and different ways of knowing
Continuity (drawing on the past, full experience of the present, experience of the future
Transcendent: resources pulling on spirituality, history, music, humor, anything that allows us to rise above our circumstances.
1. How you can be agile in your coaching by working on the different layers.
2. How to put these concepts into practice via questions and observations
3. Become more self aware of your strengths and gaps in what you can draw upon to inform your coaching
