For resolving issues, there's also the SCORE model, courtesy of Judith DeLozier and Robert Dilts: <strong>S</strong>YMPTOMS - What you notice and what you would like to change about the present problem or problem state <strong>C</strong>AUSES - The root of the problem, where it came from <strong>O</strong>UTCOMES - Your goal, what you want <strong>R</strong>ESOURCES - What is required to resolve the situation, eg skills, tools, beliefs <strong>E</strong>FFECTS - What you will do differently in the future, the longer-term effect of reaching the outcome Then there is always the <strong>"Meta Pattern of all NLP Patterns"</strong> ... but that's for another day! Martin Hi Keri

SMART goals and the coaching questions are more directed at making sure you have clear and congruent goals rather than instigating change.

For resolving issues, there’s also the SCORE model, courtesy of Judith DeLozier and Robert Dilts:

SYMPTOMS – What you notice and what you would like to change about the present problem or problem state
CAUSES – The root of the problem, where it came from
OUTCOMES – Your goal, what you want
RESOURCES – What is required to resolve the situation, eg skills, tools, beliefs
EFFECTS – What you will do differently in the future, the longer-term effect of reaching the outcome

Then there is always the “Meta Pattern of all NLP Patterns” … but that’s for another day!
