Barry, as the saying goes, "Great minds think alike."
My first thought was a well-formed outcome would be the key.
Then, it occurred to me that to get the buyin from the client, one
might include payment in the outcome. For example:
Client gets: Whatever meets the POSERS criteria as developed with the
practitioner.
Practioner gets: "X" amount of money per session until the agreed
upon well-formed outcome is achieved.
Of course, you may wish to designate a certain # of sessions as the
initial contract at which time it could be renegotiated.
I'm not sure how this might play out. One caveat, I am not a
practitioner and currently do not use a system like this. I
negotiate specific amounts of money for specific activities related
to speaking, training, computer work, etc.
What do you all wise and wonderful people think of this current
meandering?
Kind Regards,
Patrick
