This is part of a model I often use for reflecting on coaching sessions — both after and during the session. It is a way of tracking themes across a discussion.
It consists of two dimensions — temporal focus and zone of construal.
Temporal focus. When is attention focused — past, present or future?
Zone of construal. At what level of construal is attention focused (this is similar to causal layered analysis):
Information zone — declarative knowledge, facts and details
Process zone — procedural knowledge, approaches and skills
Meaning zone — causal knowledge, significance and relevance
Identity zone — self knowledge, identity and relationships
