How do we prepare for a Think It Through session?

Following our first conversation we send you by email a set of worksheets and exercises that will focus your thoughts on your goals, motivations, values, work interests and experiences. Their purpose is to  stimulate and then focus your thinking in advance of meeting. 

This may be the first time that you have ever given full attention to planning your life  in this way: it is a really interesting and rich experience.

We also send a sheet that clarifies the coaching relationship between you and Think It Through, encouraging you to define in advance what it is you want to achieve, how you will know you have done that, and asking you some useful further questions.

What happens on the day?

We begin by working out how this session will run.   Like every thinker, every session is unique.  Then we continue with the open question: 'What do you want to think about?' This gives you the opportunity to start thinking about your career, your choices, major changes, decision-making - whatever it is you bring to the session - and encourages you to focus on whatever is most significant for you and freshest in your mind on the day.  Further questions will help you to think very deeply.

This opening time is often very productive. When your thoughts reach a conclusion you will be invited to name a further goal and the session will then go on to help you to achieve it.

This is a robust process that includes questions about the assumptions that may be blocking you.

This level of incisive questioning is dynamic, often generating fresh solutions and ideas that you will want to write down as your specific action plan.

What happens next?

We review what has been achieved, and consider the context, goals and dates of further sessions.

These can include

  • major planning in any context of your career, business and development
  • working towards self-employment, retirement
  • working towards a specific new job, key skills identification and CV building (see tab)
  • information-seeking about specific subjects such as retirement, voluntary work or trusteeships
  • new qualifications, training, job sectors – this is highly personalised for every client
