The rule might concern your work as a business owner or another part of your life. Start by describing a real instance. What happened? What did you do? What would you like to examine?
Put the interpretation into words
A general description such as difficulty delegating leaves a lot unexplained. A sentence such as I must personally check every detail gives us something more specific to look at. It is an example of a rule, not a conclusion about you.
We can ask when that rule helps, when the evidence supports it and whether it conflicts with another rule you follow. A rule that works for one task may need reconsidering for another.
The other parts of the map
Rules are one way into the work. The ImprendiHero workshop also examines what you consider possible, the people or images you take as examples, the comparisons you use and the stories you tell about events.
For instance, describing a company as a family has implications for how you think people should behave. Describing the same company as a machine suggests other expectations. The exercise is to notice what your own comparison implies and examine whether it helps in the situation at hand.
The rules worksheet gives you a place to begin. It puts your notes together; it does not assess you or recommend an answer.
Before starting coaching
We discuss the work you want to do and agree the arrangement before an engagement begins. Format, availability and fee are part of that conversation. Write to me about coaching.
