ELDS materials:
1. Created personal mission statement with concentration on understanding needs versus wants and how these relate to satisfaction. Each session ended with assignments geared at recognizing how the client was fulfilling his personal mission statement and evaluating how his values were determining his decisions and choices.
2. Used understanding of level 2 energy to explore dynamics in the client’s personal life. The client was able to appreciate how he had helped construct many win/lose aspects in his life.
3.In removing barriers to success, the coaching sessions were used to enhance communication skills. The client was in a fairly uncommunicative state in his primary relationship and was in a state of shame and embarrassment. Many of the sessions focused on rebuilding communication channels ‐ using intuitive listening techniques, rapport building, and buy‐in. We eventually examined my and their motivations and values to move onto WIIFU evaluation.
