Descriptive Consultancy

TitleDescriptive Consultancy
Description

The purpose of this protocol is to help someone think something through, manage a dilemma, or get advice. Paradoxically, it recognizes that the best advice is the least advice, and that helping to define and set the problem is what is truly helpful in reaching resolution. It recognizes that when we are quick to give advice it is not very respectful of the person presenting the problem who has thought of the obvious ideas already. It asks us to practice being more descriptive and less judgmental. It also asks us to focus on the person who is consulting with us and not to talk about ourselves and our experiences. This can be used with a group of up to 30 people and it can be used in triads.
