Interviewing
Because IDL interviewing facillitates healing, balancing, and transformation it accompanies every unit of every module of the Coaching, Practitioner, and Trainer curricula. It functions as a lens through which you will approach the material that you learn and the skills that you practice in your life and with others.
Because we grow better and more rapidly when we do so with others, IDL uses Team learning. Use the dream interviewing protocol to interview yourself and others. Trade interviews of dreams with one or more team member. This way you will not only experience being interviewed but develop confidence in your own ability to interview others. Submit your written interviews to your supervising team member. To have your interviews automatically created for you, use the on-line interviewing format on this site. Keep track of the interviews you do by listing the following: Name of the interview Date Who/What interviewed Major Recommendations Choose one or more recommendation from your interviews to apply and monitor.
