Stage One – Description
The coach invites the coachees to tell a story about life or work
domain (depending on the topic of the coaching session, e.g.
their business/work issues, relationships or work/life balance,
etc). The story may consist of many themes or plots. As the
coach listens to the coachee’s story, the coach tries to identify
any „internalised problem‟ that might have affected the
coachee’s sense of self and identity. The coach encourages the
coachee to externalise the problem by for example, giving it a
name.
