- the more one attends to the positive dimensions of the present moment, the more positive the intentions for future moments will be.
- Its not that problems disappear, rather, other things become more important
5-D Cycle of AI
Transformations change process or 5-D cycle (define, discover, dream, design, destiny)
5-D Define (step 1)
Process starts by what are their ambitions:
*Coach and client agreeing to what the client wants to learn (topic choice) and how the client wants to learn it (method choice)
5-D step 2 Discover

5-D step 3 Dream
Dream possibilities

- question the energy. What generates excitement
- question the support. What positive core supports the client

- design phase is detailed and personal
5-D step 5 Destiny
