School
Principle 1: Constructionist
• Words create worlds• A person’s reality is created by the mental images one sponsors and
the language one consistently uses• What we constantly think and talk about becomes our reality• Placebo effect, Dr. Imoto experiment with water crystals, Ellen Langer
study on adolescents during the 1950s
Principle 2: Anticipatory
• The future is only limited by our imagination• An image of the future precedes actual change• People become what they project themselves to be • Pygmalion Effect
Principle 3: Poetic
• Reality is open to multiple interpretations• Anything about an individual, group or organization can be studied• However we have the choice of focusing on the positive (e.g.
creativity, innovation) or negative aspects of reality (e.g. stress, inefficiency)
Principle 4: Simultaneity
• Inquiry and change are simultaneous moments• What we ask about determines what we “find,” and what we
“discover” becomes the basis of our choices• What we ask about today lead to the tomorrow we create
Principle 5: Positive
• Successful change requires continuous amounts of positive affect and social bonding
• The more positive the questions, the less the resistance to change• The more positive the questions, the easier it is to sustain a change
process
S.O.A.R. Framework for Organizing Data
• Strengths
• Opportunities
• Aspirations
• Results
• Inner resources of the person • Present and expected events
that can enable coachee-mentee to be more effective
• Desired conditions /consequences
• Measurable indicators of success
