Calibration is a process whereby an individual presents to a fully trained / qualified 'calibrator' their current life issues or problems. The calibrator will assess the individual's needs and probe the issue, exploring the client's previous history, present information and bespoke strategies to achieve desired outcomes for the present, and then arranges further timely appointments with the calibrator to ensure they are on track and not slipping back to default.

Calibrator Tim Martin, owner of The Mind Boutique describes calibration as "Today's focus on specific measurable ‘smarter’ outcomes, not founded on yesterday's failures."

Calibration is intended to:

•	Empower the client •	Enable the client to take responsibility •	To look at the past as a great learning opportunity •	To enable the client to move on from a negative default position •	To teach the clients techniques rather than perform strategies on them so they then become self sufficient and empowered •	To design the bespoke personal solutions for the client •	techniques to use in practical situations / environments that are flexible and really useful •	The client - calibrator relationship is built on congruency / trust / nurturing / fun / down to earth / extremely professional •	sustain longevity from a distance – you can pick up where you left off

Calibration does not:

•	'Dig up the past' or empower old habits •	Analyze past mistakes •	Act as a quick fix •	Brush ‘unfinished business’ under the carpet •	Seek to absolve the client from taking responsibility •	Form relationships between the client and calibrator that are too close / needy / dominated / friendly
