STARR Process
Unleashing Behavioral Intelligence®
Stop
The Power of Presence
To make intentional changes, we must first learn to interrupt unproductive patterns. This step emphasizes:
- Interrupting habitual thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
- Grounding oneself in the present moment.
- Techniques like relaxation, mindfulness, meditation, and yoga to achieve mental clarity and focus.
Think
Articulating Goals and Motivations
Thoughtful reflection and clarity are pivotal in defining our path forward. Here we delve into:
- Clearly articulating personal and professional goals.
- Identifying core motivations and purpose.
- Understanding the weight of each goal through questions like “What do I want?”, “Why do I want it?”, and “How much do I want it?”.
Assess
A deep dive into self and surroundings
Knowledge of oneself and one’s environment is key to effective growth. This phase focuses on:
- Recognizing and understanding personal strengths and areas of improvement.
- Appreciating the diversity in communication styles and characteristics of those around us.
- Aligning personal communication styles with others to foster better collaboration and understanding.
Respond
Proactive and Intentional Action
With the foundation set, it’s time for informed action. This involves:
- Implementing planned behaviors and routines, even in the face of challenges.
- Emphasizing active listening and adaptive communication for mutual understanding and effective collaboration.
Review
The Cycle of continuous improvement
No journey is without its need for course corrections. Reviewing helps in:
- Objectively evaluating the effectiveness of actions against set goals.
