What and How

As you self-coach, you can, and must, slow down enough to see your issues strategically. Coaching focuses on the practical: it is outcome-based and goal-oriented. Concentrate not on why you are doing something, but on what and how. Practice asking yourself the following nonjudgmental questions:

• What is the issue?
• What can I do about it?
• What strategies that are effective “there” can I also use “here”?
• How can I maintain progress?
• How can I set up accountability?
