It starts with the question: ‘What do you want?’ ‘’What are you doing or feeling or have that you don’t want to be doing or feeling or have?’ 2. Next, find out their ‘evidence procedure’ by asking: ‘How will you know when you’ve got it?’ ‘What will you see, hear, feel, when you’ve got it?’ 3. Now make sure the goal is set in a sound context: ‘When and where do you want it?’ ‘For what purpose do you want this?’ 4. Now provide them with the motivation to work on the goal. Ask: ‘What will you get when you ‘ve got it?’ ‘What will you gain or lose when you have it?’ ‘What will have happened once you’ve got it? ‘What will happen if you don’t act to get it?’ 5. Now it’s time to help them think about resources. ‘What resources do you have to help you achieve this outcome?’ ‘What other resources might you need?’ ‘Who can help you get those resources?’ ‘Where can you get those resources for yourself?’ 6. Finally, give them a push to get started, with something like: ‘What are you going to do to begin now to get what you want?’ ‘What is the first step you are going to take?’ A well-formed outcome must be: • Realistically achievable • Initiated by the owner • Maintained by the owner • Good for the owner • Stated in the positive RECOMMENDED EXERCISE 1.
