The Outcomes Star™ is a family of tools for supporting personal development and measuring change when working with people.There are 17 versions of the Star, each tailored to specific support needs.
Making changes isn’t easy but understanding how change works can help. Sustainable change and personal development usually means changing things in a number of areas of life so that things work better for the individual. Many people who are working towards making sustainable change have found it useful to approach change as a journey with different stages. This tool helps to identify which stage they are in or where they are on their journey, and set goals for moving forward.
Incorporating key motivational interviewing techniques, coaching and other essential support work skills this two-day course not only introduces the Outcomes Star™, but also has a strong focus on the skills needed to support change.
