Reframing Your Mind

It is important to understand that people have perspectives about their lives, circumstances and surroundings. These perspectives shape individuals thoughts and the way they conduct themselves in everyday life. When you engage a coach to work with you, they should be open to questioning your perspective to give you the opportunity to re-frame your conscious thought.


This process of questioning an individual’s perspective is termed Re-Framing. Some examples of questions that a coach may use re-frame an individual’s perspective are:

* So how does that work for you?
* What would it take for you to reach your objective?
* How do you think the other person feels about the situation?
* Why is that holding you back?
* Can you see how your actions may be contributing to the situation?

Through the process of questioning someone’s perspective the coach will give the individual the opportunity to explore their conditioning and open their minds to other possible ways of thinking about a situation, circumstance or thought that may be restricting their development. It is crucial that a coach uses the technique of Re-framing to ensure that they give the coachee every possible opportunity to remove obstacles and barriers so they are able to Unleash their True Potential.
