'FRAMING' - TIPS FOR PRESENTING AND TRAINING

How we experience something is often conditioned by preformed attitudes and patterns or sometimes just by the first thing which we think about, which can then become a fixed way of experiencing that particular thing.

THE 4MAT

A simple and effective way to structure an introduction to a presentation (or the whole presentation). 

1. The Why
Open with a question that will get the person/audience searching inside themselves for a similar experience or any question that will have them wanting to know more.Eg: Have you ever wanted a way of making 10% net return, without…..

2. The What
Tell them what it is they will be learning / hearing about with a focus on its benefitsEg: I’m about to share with you a simple method of ……….. that will  ………

3. The How
Next outline the process: how the ‘what’ will come about.Eg: It’s a simple formula that you can easily adopt and apply by……

4. What else
Finally close on how or where else your audience will be able to use / apply what you’re sharing with them or any additional benefits.

SCORE Model
The score model is a great tool to use in understanding and working with issues.

 

S = Symptoms (Present State)

C = Cause

O = Outcome (Desired State)

R = Resources

E = Effects of outcome

 

The SCORE model provides a flexible framework for checking all aspects of the process. In this case Resources is used in a wider context - including the changes and actions you need to take as well as external resources you may need.
 

TIMELINES
Timelines feature a great deal in NLP techniques. Timelines are a way of mapping out situations, experiences, plans and strategies - past, present and future - and exploring them in a safe and structured way.

They are yet another way of helping the client be in touch with their subconscious and conscious processing and patterns of behaviour.

Hooper and Potter, The Business of Leadership.

"...the coach's job is to nudge the client back onto the pathway, when they get distracted and need to be brought back on track"
