GROW model: Goal – What do you want?; Reality – Where are you now?; Options; What could you do?; Will – what will you do?
Coaching habit – What’s on your mind?; And what else? ; What’s the real challenge here for you?; What do you want? ; How can I help? ; If you’re saying yes to this, what are you saying no to?; What was most useful for you?
Life wheel – Rank your satisfaction in these areas 1-10: Work, Money, Health, Time, Relationships, Emotions/Meaning. What do you need to work on? what would make it a 10?

Probing – What led to this? Where do you see this going? What’s the best possible outcome? Have you been in this situation before? do you see any patterns? How do you feel about the situation?
