FC102 Reflection and Application

1. Pick an area of your life, or someone else’s life, where a problem has persisted for some time. Discern the Perspective, and ReFrame it.

A friend of mine works as a training specialist in the HR dept. of a company was worrying of being laid off because of the economical depression. She did great jobs and made significant contributions for her company but the training budget for next year still decreased tremendously. She felt helpless and lost enthusiasm about her job. After discussed about the success she made before, we compared the situation thoroughly and found all the conditions about her company and herself were still the same(some of them even getting better) but only required more cost-constrained-focused. She shifted her perspective to positive ones and reframed the viewpoints of these changes. I found her regain her confidence and start to work out some strategy for the coming challenges.


2. Call a friend or colleague who has been complaining about something. Share with them the concept of Perspective, which you are studying, and ask them if they are interested in some quick coaching to help them ReFrame their Perspective.

I visited a cousin of mine during the Chinese New Year and shared with him the studying in ICA. When I “happened to” mention about the idea of perspective and reframing, it’s easy to find something sparkling in his eyes. He told me that maybe he could think of his boss, whom he is always complaining about, in a more sympathetic way.
