Insight Mining Psychologist, Dr. Sharon Livingston is a pioneer in applying projective techniques and state of the Art exercises
Sharpen The Focus Institute exclusive instructors are highly skilled in depth interviewing and moderating, psychological techniques applied to marketing research and group facilitation, interpretation and presentation of findings and professional teaching methods. In 'Livingston Method Moderating, the moderator meets with the client to form first impressions about the issues at hand and how the results will be used. She then creates a blueprint of the structure for the group with a series of direct and indirect probes and creative approaches to achieve the most useful and illuminating responses. The goals are to identify underlying motivations and feelings that drive behavior. Using this approach, The Method Moderator may pick out parts of the guide which seem to elicit certain emotional truths in one group but opt for other creative interventions in another. She follows the groups lead rather than the guide.In fact, the Method Moderator has the confidence of his connection with the participants to abandon the guide in terms of specific questions and exercises and follow a more evocative path to the "truth." Livingston Method Moderator teaches you how to achieve this productive, creative state that will add value to your qualitative projects. These courses provide you with many techniques and procedures to achieve those moments of inspiration from which creative work develops. Livingston Method Moderating teaches you how to take your qualitative work beyond the obvious, beyond the rationalized response that often is not supported in the market place.
