COACHING TOOL 4 SEE-I-Method

The ability to understand the logical connection between ideas and concepts

It is all about how to think rather than what to think. To possess critical thinking (CT) skills
means that you’re more concerned in how or why you believe in something rather than
what you believe in, so that you engage in reflective and independent thinking.
CRITICAL THINKING SEE - I Method is a simple critical thinking technique that helps writers to clarify their ideas.

SEE - I is an acronym that stands for the steps or concepts as follows:
! State it
! Elaborate
! Exemplify
! Illustrate

This method can be applied in every reasoning we make sure that our voice can be
considered. SEE-I method is a tool that will structure your coachees mind so that she’s able
to train herself to reason more and more consistently with time.
