10 Critical
Success Factors
Its useful to consider what are some
of the most likely factors which need to be in place for change to happen (and
to increase motivation towards change):
Some Examples:
-
Goals are clear, meaningful and
achievable in reasonable timeframe
-
Goals are aligned with core
values, generate enthusiasm and are motivational.
-
Obstacles are few or can be dealt
with
-
Positive consequences for
changing are clear and outweigh
Negative consequences for not changing
-
Helping relationships,
partnerships &
networks
-
Positive attitude (focus on what
works rather than what doesn't - identify & reinforce past & present
successes - look for exceptions to the problem)
-
Systems thinking
-
Creativity
-
Values clearly identified and
inspirational
-
Think globally, act locally AND
globally!
The internet and the communications revolution & globalisation allows
local initiatives to be spread around the world.

coaching method
-
Goal - What's your goal?
S.M.A.R.T goals (Specific, Meaningful & Measurable, Action-orientated,
Realistic & Time-bound) Frame in what you want, rather than don't
want.
-
Reality - What's actually
happening? Who's doing what? What's working, what's not?
-
Options - What are your
options? What have you/others tried? Want any suggestions?
-
Will - What
Will you do
& do you have the Will to do it? When Will u do it?
-
Support - Who will provide
support? Who will you work/network with?
Example of
Segmented Group
e.g. Stages of change:
Pre-contemplation -> Contemplation -> Action -> Maintenance
Pre-contemplators (not
thinking about change)
Actions: Raise consciousness;
Identify possibilities for change; Link with core values
Contemplators (thinking about
change, undecided & no action yet)
Actions: Help weigh up the
pros & cons of taking action. Link strong negative emotion to inaction and
strong positive emotion to taking action. Collapse time (imagine how things will
be in or you will feel next week, month, year...) Personalise - how important is
this to you/your family, humanity.
Actioners (taking action)
Actions: Link up with others;
Reinforce success;
Maintainers (been taking
action over time)
Actions: Ensure sustainability
of actions to reduce burn out; maintain a focus on what's working; utilize
maintainers as mentors and inspiration to others if possible
