The Five Principles for Mindset Guidance:

  1. Issues and challenges we face in our professional and/or personal lives (“Phenomena”) are ever-changing and in flux. There is never nothing going on with them.

  2. Contexts (moment-to-moment situations and broad social matters) constantly shape and re-shape these phenomena.

  3. We must slow down a concrete dimension of a phenomenon, and a context that is shaping it, in order to open it up for reflection.

  4. We then try to “see what frames our seeing” of that concrete dimension of the phenomenon and a context that is shaping it.

  5. Finally, we aim to “look at, instead of through, the frames” that are most influencing the challenging phenomenon we are experiencing.
