I meet a man in full confusion the magnitude and diversity of decisions

THE case: a chartered accountant creative, paralyzed by the sum of the initiatives to be taken

The man is one of the three partners of an accounting firm in full reorganization because one of them thinks to retire two or three years in transferring its shares but fails to cross the step and the other in case illness a year, must stop his professional activity. Until then the other two partners were the main drivers of the firm, our man, initially expert employee of the firm, became associated with a few years earlier but not really choosing it. For six months, it is therefore found only in directing cabinet, buy back the shares of one and on the other, at least integrate a new partner, recruit new employees... All of this without to be prepared.

I meet a man in full confusion the magnitude and diversity of decisions. He tells as suffering everything happens and her story ever emerges a feeling of powerlessness. I learn, when what he talks about his history, he is born into a modest family system in which everyone has always refused promotion and responsibility. He says not to have himself never really asked what he had desire to his studies or to build his life. But as soon as I question him on what he would today, his words are very precise on what should be to manage and evolve the cabinet, but also to organize his privacy. I am amazed at the difference between this posture of complaint and powerlessness and the presence of very clear ideas on the theme: "and if it were otherwise." I suggest him to try to identify and explore moments of his life where he could fully follow its cravings and achieve its objectives.

"What type of situation you felt really do what you want to fly your life, to build and achieve your goals In response, my client immediately evokes his youth of high level athlete. We therefore looked set to dissect the strategies then put in place in the sports field to transpose in the professional field. We have considered each decision that should take for the proper conduct of the activity of the firm by analogy, then redefined little by little the objectives development cabinet two or three years, taking into account its wish to remain living in the same area, work four days out of five in order to take care of her children, continue to make the sports The purpose of questioning was to encourage a focus on the essentials and so deliver in relevant decision-making situation.

In the theoretical field of the Solutions Orientation, "research of Exceptions" is a tool which allows to relax the tension around the goal. A questioning extremely precise and progressive leads the client to focus not on its objective but on tracking and analysis of the times and circumstances, close or distant, where a problem of the same type has been overcome. In our case - duty take the reins of a cabinet of expertise and to deal with multiple issues - it is to identify the strategies developed by the young sports competitor. A careful job of modelling and transfer in the news, then unlocked the blockades one after the other.
