Tools of Systemic Coaching

Open Questions

In order to receive proper input from the coachee, the coach should use open questions (what, where, when, who, etc.). This allows the coachee to give more detailed answers.

Alternative questions (X or Y) or closed questions (answer can only be yes/no) should be avoided.

Goal description

Goal description (in detail) is the baseline for (self)motivation.

Scaling

Scaling is useful for reflection of what has been achieved, of where we are now, to identify next small steps.

Goal orientation

 

Coping

Before applying this tool, the past situation has to be described. For this, please use "Goal description" (see above).

The tool of Coping helps to identify solutions you had already in the past for ( smiliar) situations that can be reactivated.
