THE FIRST DECISION: WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?

Here is an insight for coaching— get the subject before you do anything else. Seems so simple, so obvious, yet it is much more difficult than it seems. Nor is the subject, necessarily, the same thing as the goal. Usually subject and goal are different.

6) Get the subject first. Whatever is the subject of a coaching session it will be a general category. It could be relationships; it could be finances; it could be health and fitness. These would be some of the possible general categories. A good way to begin is to use the Wheel of Life and ask about what about the general subject or theme. Friends, School, Work, Career, Money, Business, Hobby, Spirituality, Self-Development, Home, Family, etc.
