​
What can I do to help you push the button?
​
What do you need most right now?
What can you do now to help yourself push the pause button next time?These exploratory questions help you gain an understanding of the issue the coachee wishes to address. Ideally the aim is to gather information from all 9 quadrants.

in reality this may not be as easy because coachees (e.g. all people)
tend to come from certain “clusters” of quadrants.
