Director's Chair

Overview

The "Director's Chair" is a coaching tool that invites clients to step into the role of a director in their own life. This metaphorical approach allows clients to gain perspective on their life situations by "directing" scenes from a distance, rather than being immersed in them. By adopting the director's mindset, clients can explore different outcomes, alter "scripts," and view their challenges and interactions more objectively. This tool is especially useful for enhancing decision-making, problem-solving, and self-awareness.

How the Director's Chair Works

1. Introducing the Metaphor:
   • Explain to the client that they will be taking on the role of a director in a film, where their life is the movie. In this role, they can direct scenes, rewrite scripts, and guide the actors (themselves and others) to create a better outcome.
