Preparation
You will be participating in a 10-15 minute interview, the
goal of which is to learn how you think and feel about
what is important to you, what motivates you, what is your
sense of urgency, where is there leverage for you in
F-L-O-W, and what appears as low-hanging fruit for you in
life, work and relationships. There are no right or wrong
answers, it gives us the opportunity to view your own ways
of making meaning, and how you make sense of that meaning.
A little background on the
Dynamic interview @F-L-O-W:
“This form of subject-object interview
is used to assess an individual’s unselfconscious epistemology
or principle of meaning coherence. The interview procedure is
in the tradition of a developmental coaching session in which
the interviewer using dynamic inquiry poses questions to
determine how a given content is construed.”
The contents are generated using a formula
called IMULL, what is important, motivating, urgent,
leveraging and low-hanging fruit, facilitating a dynamic
inquiry by the interviewer about the individual’s real-life
experience and will involve emotional as well as cognitive,
intrapersonal, and interpersonal aspects of psychological
organization of meaning making by the person being
interviewed.
We promise it is not designed to be harmful,
or intrusive, and person’s who are interviewed are asked to be
as candid as possible, and at the same time to not reveal
things that would be considered off-limits by them, even
though the interview is strictly confidential and will not be
seen by anyone without your written permission.
The probes are listed below. The probes are
provided ahead of time so that you may reflect on them if you
wish in order to clarify how you would like to represent your
thinking, and/or feelings about them.
In order to prepare for the interview look
at the probes and reflect or consider what is going on in your
life right now regarding your needs and wants for F-L-O-W, as
you have more than likely registered for a F-L-O-W program and
this snapshot interview is a part of scaffolding you in that
process.
The interview will be digitally recorded and
subsequently transcribed in order for it to be used.
Note: The majority of
people do not speak in an epistemological manner which means
the interview must ask a series of probing questions that will
uncover the deeper structure. These questions might seem
redundant or invasive; however it is absolutely necessary for
the interviewer to ask these types of questions in order to
get content that can be analyzed.
If you are uncomfortable at any time please
tell the interviewer. Also, we assure you that all identifying
variables will be removed at the time of transcription. These
interviews are fully confidential.
Probes:
Importance: Is there something
important now, in your life, work and relationships?
Motivation: Are there things
motivating you to engage now? IF so, what might they
be?
Urgency: Why now, why here, is there
a sense of urgency, if so, about what?
Leverage: If you do this, you get
what…and then what, and if that comes, then what?
Low-hanging Fruit: What do you need
to take away from this engagement?
Phone number to call for the interview will
