Secret Site Agent Posted 25 November, 2009 Share Posted 25 November, 2009 If you were expecting a match stick model of the Milton ends from days gone by, sorry this isn't about that, I am afraid. Does anyone understand the concept of Milton Ericksons model and if so can you help me with a question I have to answer as part of a course I am on. It is, 'Using the Milton Model, what would be the correct response to the statement 'YOUR NOT COMING HERE TO COACH ME'. Any help duly appreciated.

Big John Posted 25 November, 2009 Share Posted 25 November, 2009 You might reply that the person is correct in that you are not there to coach them. You need to suspend their thought process which will make the person subconsciously consider why they are actually there and conclude that they are not at risk in actually being 'coached' as THEY are in control of the situation, which of course they are. If you are using this technique for genuine professional purposes then that is probably precisely why the two of you are having the conversation in the first place, ergo, they want/need your help but due to conditioning (or programming at perhaps an early age) they can't or don't want to accept that they do. I could of course be completely wrong. Interesting subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the theme that you set to state that: 'They are right, I am not here to coach them, and that they are too clever for that. They are probably doing my things intuitively already...' You are right though, it is interesting stuff. It is to help coach the workforce on site to help reduce our accidents. And Milton is really deep and when you get into it, but it don't half work.

I assume that you already know that it is a form of hypnotism SSA?

You are right though, it is interesting stuff. It is to help coach the workforce on site to help reduce our accidents. And Milton is really deep and when you get into it, but it don't half work. If accidents are at an unacceptable level and you believe the work force are already doing intuitively your recommendations and what you intended coaching, how will accidents be reduced? Surely their intuition and your recommendations cancel each other out and the number of accidents remains the same? If everyone adopts 'best practice' does that not infer it becomes a mediocre practice and new 'best' levels of practice need to be coached?
