A consultation is usually just preparation for what is to be continued in life. The client must receive a task, what he needs to do after the consultation. The clearer, more objective, more specific the description of his future actions, the better. Tasks should be within the client’s strength (simple) and fit into his philosophy of life (do not cause internal protests).
Important points:
- adapting solutions to reality
How exactly will you do what you decide?
- fixing decisions
Best of all — in writing and in a responsible format. Not «think about the goals of the future conversation,» but «write down the goals of the upcoming conversation.» “Think about it” doesn’t commit you to anything.
- checking the environmental friendliness of the recommendations
If you do this, will it suit you? Are you ready for the consequences that this may cause?
