What are the questions to bring up that awareness?
- Visualize their ideas for future (a new structure)
- Identify the structures they have now
- Ask the clients to make a list of their understanding of the structure and the structures supporting them, how they feel about it and what they do when they feel that way? How do they feel when the structures not supporting them and what do they behave and think? Then they could make the choice of select the structures supporting them and make the shift of the structures.

How are we going to replay the structure they are in? Would they really like to keep or move that structure? or add on some structure?

Good example.
Ask questions to help client to build the new structure – a structure of the courage to ask “why…” and further discuss with his boss with the reason of the transfer of job and get the promotion at the end.
- Give self permission of why my supervisor transfers me from one job to another
- Once the structure supports him once successfully, the client would be able to use it again in the future when they need that structure again.

How to plan and build the environment and structure – related to people’s support (people who are around us)
- When you make a change, one of the important thing is that people around us accept and support our shifting structure to achieve our goal
- Even an attitude or perspective change would also need others around us to support. (It is an important thing of the external structures)

Use a planner and calendar to help our clients to set up the structure
- The change tool kit (http://www.reinventingeducation.org/RE3Web/)

Structure creates - Awareness, Acceptance and Action (leads to shift and empowerment)

Look at your structures and think about how do you feel? Do you want to make a shift? Why or why not?
