From an outside point of view, you might think that the simplist thing in coaching would be to identify a client’s subject. And for that, all you have to do is ask, “What do you want to achieve in this coaching session?” But when it comes to real life in the trenches, things are not so easy or so simple. Ask that question and a good 50% of clients will say that they do not know! “That’s what I’ve been thinking about...” [For reference, I already addressed this in Morpheus #14.]

That leads us to another question, “What’s going on that they find themselves uncertain about the coaching and indecisive about what to work on?” And the answer to that is that it could be a multitude of things.
