Reframe your perspective

Everyone has a certain view on the world, a perspective. Compare it with a filter or sunglasses through which you see the world. Your perspective determines your experiences in life. Once you understand and recognise that you have a perspective, you can take responsibility for the reception of your 'truth'. It gives you the power to change your perspective and to choose a new perspective. It gives you the power to turn something negative eventually into something positive, to transform yourself from survivor into driver. Into someone who is in control and takes responsibility for his own actions.

And this is the hart of reframing: if you master the art of reframing your perspective you are able to be more successful. Commonly used frames are: 'I'm a victim', 'what's in it for me?' 'It's not my fault', 'I can't help it'.
Which perspective is currently hindering you? Which perspective would enable you to reach your goals?

Your coach doesn't want to dig deeper into your problems. Coaching is focusing on solutions, focusing on the future instead of what lies behind you. This solution-centrered perspective has a huge impact on the questions your coach will be asking you, like: what are you doing already to improve your situation? And your coach will try with you to change your perspective on something that is causing you problems.
