Framing Skills: A 49-Minute Guided Audio on How the Frame Changes the Meaning

Two people can face the same situation. One sees pressure, the other sees opportunity. The situation hasn't changed. The frame has.

Framing Skills is a 49-minute guided audio with Ann Redman. It combines guided relaxation and focused attention with music and soft background tones, while it explores how the frame around an event shapes what it means, and how the words you use shape the frame.

What's in the recording:

• A relaxed settling-in that turns your attention to how you already organise experience

• A walk through tight frames and wide frames: the same circumstance seen as a problem, then as a set of possibilities

• How wording changes the frame, such as "I have a problem" versus "I am organising a solution"

• How products, offers, value and authority are all framed, and what that means in business conversations

• Rehearsing a pause before you respond, and asking what frame is in play

• A gentle count-up back to full alertness

How you get it: one MP3, instant download, no app and no login. Plays on your phone, computer or any MP3 player. Headphones recommended.

It's for coaches, leaders, entrepreneurs and anyone who talks to people for a living and wants to listen to how meaning gets built in conversation.

What it won't do: promise results. It's a guided relaxation, not a replacement for learning the skill, and not medical or psychological treatment. If you have a diagnosed mental-health condition or epilepsy, or you're unsure, check with your doctor first. Never listen while driving, operating machinery or anywhere you need to stay alert.
