6. REALITY CONSTRUCT
Information Management
2 Million Bits of info hit the human neurology
every second!
We process 134 bits per second
We Delete, Distort and Generalize
Our REALITY is a construct of what we pay
attention to…
Monday, April 20, 2009
7. REALITY CONSTRUCT
Our brain is the quality control system that gets us what
we want
To sort information we use two filters or questions...
Two Filters
1. Meaning Filter – “What does this mean?” (is it useful?)
2. Action Filter – “What should I do? (embrace it or reject it?)
Monday, April 20, 2009
8. Distinction #2
>>>>>>> Information is overwhelming and so
our quality of life depends upon what
we pay attention to.
a) To make things easy we transfer conscious
activity to our unconscious mind
b) Here we fail to learn from the feedback life
gives us and so we repeat the patterns
>>>>>>> c) We become stuck because we gather lots of
evidence to support our reality.

10. Signposts
Life is a great teacher – but the teacher only arrives when the
student is ready...
Every emotion we experience is a gift.
The gift is that emotion tells us when we are off purpose
For most of us we respond to emotion in 3 ways:
1. Wallow
2. Blame
3. Learn

11. Distinction #2
>>>>>>> Problems in our career-life show up
because of deficiencies, imbalances or
conflicts in our ability to deal
effectively with information.
a) Problems occur because of the boundary
conditions around our understanding.
b) Learning is the key to career-life success.
>>>>>>>
c) The only way to assist someone to learn
(child or adult) is to be “invited” into their
internal world.
Monday, April 20, 2009
12. Influencing Learning
>>>>>>>
We can’t make kids do anything.
We can’t make ANYONE do
ANYTHING.
The best way we can get people to
make positive choices about their
career-life is to be welcomed into
their internal world as their coach.
>>>>>>>
This will only happen if they value
their relationship with us.
Monday, April 20, 2009
14. Patterns
>>>>>>> Behaviour is purposeful when it takes us closer
towards our goals.
To understand patterns:
1. Fold your arms:
a) Which arm is on top – right or left?
2. Clasp your hands:
b) Which thumb is on top – right or left?
3. Now clasp your hands so the other thumb is
>>>>>>> on top – notice how it feels:
c) Natural or Weird!
Our patterns (neurological) are like sheep
tracks in our head and we follow them
Monday, April 20, 2009
unconsciously believing they are true.
15. Patterns #1: Motivation Style
Only two things motivate us:
1. Pain 2. Pleasure
Life becomes a process of reducing pain and
increasing pleasure… Hence:
a) We move away from things we PERCEIVE
as painful
b) We move towards things we PERCEIVE as
pleasurable

16. Patterns #2: Learning
There are two broad elements in learning:
1. Predisposing 2. Precipitating

Innate skills Locus of control
Talent Seeking help
Classroom Behaviours
Time on task

Monday, April 20, 2009
17. Patterns #2: Learning
The pattern is that:
If we lack any of the Precipitating factors in
learning we start to believe that we lack the
Predisposing factors to learn - intelligence or
ability.
This sets up learning patterns across our life
time.

Report and set your kids up for life-long learning success.

19. Defining the Problem
>>>>>>> A problem is....
>>>>>>>
Where is the solution to the problem....
Monday, April 20, 2009
20. Defining the Problem
>>>>>>>
There are two elements in a stated problem:
• The presenting problem
• The actual problem
To get to the actual problem you ask:
• Help me understand “Why” is that a problem
for you?
>>>>>>>
• Ask 3-4 more times after they say “I don’t
know”
• This moves them beyond the boundary
conditions of their problem
