Insight 1: Fragmentation
Monday, April 20, 2009
Distinction #1
An adult is a child in a big body...> > > > > > >
> > > > > > >
a) Career-life integration not fragmentation
b) The simplicity of childhood becomes the complexity of adulthood
c) Learning is the key to working with clientele across the life-span

Insight 2: Reality Construct
Monday, April 20, 2009
REALITY CONSTRUCT
Information Management
2 Million Bits of info hit the human neurology every second!
We process 134 bits per second
We Delete, Distort and Generalize
Our REALITY is a construct of what we pay attention to…
Monday, April 20, 2009
Our brain is the quality control system that gets us what we want
To sort information we use two filters or questions...
Two Filters
1. Meaning Filter – “What does this mean?” (is it useful?)
2. Action Filter – “What should I do? (embrace it or reject it?)
REALITY CONSTRUCT

Distinction #2
Information is overwhelming and so our quality of life depends upon what we pay attention to.
> > > > > > >
> > > > > > >
a) To make things easy we transfer conscious activity to our unconscious mind
b) Here we fail to learn from the feedback life gives us and so we repeat the patterns
c) We become stuck because we gather lots of evidence to support our reality.

Signposts
Life is a great teacher – but the teacher only arrives when the student is ready...
Every emotion we experience is a gift.
The gift is that emotion tells us when we are off purpose
For most of us we respond to emotion in 3 ways:
1. Wallow
2. Blame
3. Learn

Distinction #2
Problems in our career-life show up because of deficiencies, imbalances or conflicts in our ability to deal effectively with information.
> > > > > > >
> > > > > > >
a) Problems occur because of the boundary conditions around our understanding.
b) Learning is the key to career-life success.
c) The only way to assist someone to learn (child or adult) is to be “invited” into their internal world.

We can’t make kids do anything.
We can’t make ANYONE do ANYTHING.
The best way we can get people to make positive choices about their career-life is to be welcomed into their internal world as their coach.
This will only happen if they value their relationship with us.

Patterns...
Monday, April 20, 2009
PatternsBehaviour is purposeful when it takes us closer towards our goals.
To understand patterns:
1. Fold your arms:
a) Which arm is on top – right or left?
2. Clasp your hands:
b) Which thumb is on top – right or left?
3. Now clasp your hands so the other thumb is on top – notice how it feels:
c) Natural or Weird!
Our patterns (neurological) are like sheep tracks in our head and we follow them unconsciously believing they are true.

Patterns #1: Motivation Style
Only two things motivate us:
1. Pain 2. Pleasure
Life becomes a process of reducing pain and increasing pleasure… Hence:
a) We move away from things we PERCEIVE as painful
b) We move towards things we PERCEIVE as pleasurable
Monday, April 20, 2009
Patterns #2: Learning
There are two broad elements in learning:
1. Predisposing 2. PrecipitatingOur unique compliment of:
IntelligenceAbilityInnate skillsTalent
Our unique compliment of:
Personal BehavioursSelf beliefLocus of controlSeeking help
Classroom BehavioursTime on taskAvoiding distractionsBeing interested
Homework BehavioursSelf ManagementPersistenceMotivation
See www.careersfasttrack.com for the Learn-ability Assessment
Monday, April 20, 2009
Patterns #2: Learning
The pattern is that:
If we lack any of the Precipitating factors in learning we start to believe that we lack the Predisposing factors to learn - intelligence or ability.
This sets up learning patterns across our life time.
See www.careersfasttrack.com for the Learn-ability Skills Report and set your kids up for life-long learning success.

Monday, April 20, 2009
Defining the Problem
There are two elements in a stated problem:
• The presenting problem
• The actual problem
> > > > > > >
> > > > > > >
To get to the actual problem you ask:
• Help me understand “Why” is that a problem for you?
• Ask 3-4 more times after they say “I don’t know”
• This moves them beyond the boundary conditions of their problem
