 On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 representing the worst it has
ever been and 10 the preferred future, where would you put
the situation today?
 On a scale of 1 – 10, where 1 represents x and 10 represents
y, where are you in relation to this goal.
 You are at n now; what did you do to get this far?
 How would you know you had got to n+1?
Once your coachee has a clear picture of their desired outcome
you can then establish where they are already in relation to this.
Using Scaling Techniques are a very good way of helping to
quantifying this.
3. KNOW-HOW & RESOURCES:
 What helps you perform at n on the scale, rather than 0?
 When does the outcome already happen for you - even a
little bit?
 What did you did to make that happen? How did you do
that?
 What skills/knowledge/attributes do you currently have
that will help you?
 When have you done this/something similar before?
 What would others say is working for you?
 What did you do differently?
Linking to the Scaling stage you can now build on this

coachee that rating – what skills, knowledge and attributes do
they currently possess which give them say a 4 or 5 rather than
a 0.This stage is all about uncovering your coachee’s strengths –
