The Miracle Question

SymboliCard Miracle question - 960x768 pixel - 113312 byte

Using the card during the coaching session

We are at the stage of the improvement process where the goal is already set and the client is assessing their present status, how they behave or react in certain situations. Using the Miracle Question, the client can visualize how they will act differently upon reaching their objective. Also they can define, how others will notice the change.

The model:

This model is one of the tools of the Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). It concentrates on the desired outcome, how the client, guided by the coach, can visualize the chosen target and also the required attitude and behavior to achieve that.

The coach introduces the Miracle Question that one night, while the client was asleep, a miracle happened and they wake up to an ideal world. We explore the fantasy together, going through the whole day where the client has to describe, what are the telling signs that show the miracle. By changing perspective, the client can see through their acquaintance's glasses, how the desired behavior might look like.

Cards supporting the development process

The symbolic development cards cover basic models used in different steps of the developement process (primarily in coaching),which contribute both to the development of self-knowledge and support the client to further progess towards reaching his goals.

CIA model (control, influence, adapt circles)

With the help of the model the factors which can neither be changed or influenced by us can be identified. It is more sensible to focus on the aspects we can influence, where we have a chance to directly impact the situation.

GROW model

The GROW model is one of the most popular and widely used tool in the personal/business development sector.
This model mainly focuses on problem solving and achieving the desired target, concentrating on the process of finding a solution.

Internal beliefs

When the client defines precisely the achievable goal, he should get conscious about the automatic thoughts which prevents him from changing. After that the automatic thoughts shall be converted into positive enabling thoughts.

Scale

To grasp a subjective measurement, we are using a Scale. The coach card can be easily used throughout the coaching session to express improvement and progress, and also to define trust and belief.

SMART

The acronym - SMART - helps determining the target. The smart objective is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timely.

Solution Focused Therapy model

This esentially solution oriented model concentrates on the desired goal. How the client - guided by the development expert - should be able to visualize his objective; also how he should accouter by all the tools and components that will support them in reaching their target.

SWOT

After setting the objective, the model supports the client to prepar a status analysis evaluating their internal resources, what can they expect from their surroundings, the supportive and withholding factors of reaching the desired goal.

Traffic light

This modell assists the client to pinpoint what should he continue, optimize and change -based on others' feedbacks and own self-knowledge- in his life in order to get closer to achieving his goals.
