Quick coaching

Below is a model that can be used for a quick coaching experience during a trial session - individually or in a group.

Box 1

Box 2

Box 3

Box 4

Box 5

Write down a goal you have. It can be a goal from any area of your life, a goal that feels important to you.

For how long have you had this goal?

A month, a year, several years or all of your life?

This far, what has been your greatest obstacle in achieving this goal?

What specific activities have you undertaken during the last 24 hours in order to achieve your goal?

You might need to give this a bit more thought.

What is it with this goal that makes you want to achieve it?

How does it make you feel when you achieve this goal?

Look at your goal again. You don’t have to tell me what it is.

Have you been thinking about your goal for a long time?

Has it often been on your mind?

Have you come with excuses or blamed yourself or others for not reaching the goal?

Let’s go to #4 instead. This box is not so fun to stay in.

Has the goal been so important to you that you recently have made changes to your lifestyle in order for you to get on step closer to your goal?

Again, how does it feel when you achieve this goal?

Isn’t it so that this is what you truly want, your real goal?

Could this be an important value in your life?


Afterwards ask:

  • What is a step you can take during the coming month in order to move closer to achieving your goal?

  • How does this all feel so far?
