The Pegasus NLP PECSAW* process for designing goals or outcomes

The NLP method of refining goals or objectives using the Well-Formed Outcomes' process produces a thorough, carefully refined and unambiguous objective.

The 6 PECSAW Qualifying Questions

1	Positive	What do you want?
2	Evidence	How will I recognise when you have this? How will you know when you have this?
3	Context	Where and when do you want to have this resource? Where and when do you not want this resource?
4	Self achievable	It is very important that the outcome must be within their own realm of influence i.e. is something over which the person has control. What resources do you need to be able to achieve this? What do you need to do to achieve this? Is this something which you, yourself, can achieve? Or does it require that OTHER people behave in a certain way?
5	Advantages & Disadvantages	The advantages and the disadvantages. There are always disadvantages in making a change - being alert to these keeps the person `at cause' by making it their choice. What are the advantages of making this change? What are the disadvantages of making this change? What will achieving this lose you? Become?
6	Worthwhile	The motivation question: which of your values will be fulfilled by achieving this outcome What's important to you about getting this? What will this outcome help you avoid feeling? What is the benefit of this outcome?

This outcome-qualifying process is introduced in a practical and hands-on manner in our Practitioner Part 1 (NLP Core Skills) course.

Here you are able to use it on a specific goal which you wish to achieve in your life - and to then discuss your experience with the trainer and compare your experience in using the technique with that of other participants.

(* 'PECSAW' is the Pegasus NLP version of the original NLP Well-Formed Outcome model - as part of our drive to make NLP more thorough and less jargon-ridden, and therefore more accessible, we have re-named the model and added an extra question to the original NLP model.)
