Helping someone understand their present reality is an important aspect of coaching. Seeing where you want to go is important but so is understanding where you are right now. Here are some questions to help the person you are coaching come to see the current reality in their life:
REALITY
What is happening right now? What is really happening right now?
(Answer the previous question in terms of What, When, Where, How Much, and How Often)
Who is directly and indirectly involved?
If things are not going well with this issue, who else gets drawn in?
If things are not going well with this issue, what happens to you?
What about others involved; what happens to them?
What have you done about this so far? With what results?
How often have you tried?
What is missing in this situation?
What is holding you back from a way forward?
Intuitively, what is really going on here?
