John Heron’s Intervention Model offers six categories of Intervention that can be applied in any feedback or enabling process. These apply equally to interventions in one to one and group situations. John Heron offers his approach as a conceptual framework for understanding interpersonal relationships and as a means of analysing a range of possible interactions between two people in work or personal situations.
Read through the list below and familiarise yourself with each category. Knowing the range of interventions can be helpful in identifying and being aware of the different interventions you might use as a leader, manager or coach, particularly recognising the interventions you are comfortable with and those you choose to avoid.
