Abstract

We like the kaleidoscope metaphor when pondering the nature and magic of pivotal moments—with one turn you can shift a complex array of colored glass from one pattern into a captivating new one. What turns the kaleidoscope? We suspect the coach has a hand in helping create new images and patterns for the client. The topics that we have covered so far (beliefs and guiding principles, context, levels of awareness, modes of knowing, domains of knowledge, associative networks of memory) all contribute to ways we can more skillfully wield the kaleidoscope in precipitating substantial change with clients. This chapter is filled with ideas, suggestions, examples and stories of ways to ignite substantial change.
