No Attention on Current Reality

No mention, questioning, or elicitation about current reality, only
speaking about the past or future, asking or mentioned outcomes and
goals.

3) Probing
To penetrate into a coachee's frame of mind and matrices of
frames about beliefs, values, understandings, expectations,
etc. To thoroughly investigate the coachee's mental models
that have created his or her current reality.
5 Persistently and Patiently Not Letting Coachee off the Hook
Persistent questioning that invites and even pushes a person to look
at all of the frames of mind and mental models, relentless returning to
the exploration and never letting the person off the hook even if the
awareness becomes painful or unpleasant. Using "opening up" frame
questions.
4 Exploring What is Not Being Said
Continuous questions about coachee's inner mental frames using a
tonality of curiosity and wonder that invites the coachee to really
explore the inside of things. Asking about the things not said. Using
silence for coachee to be with the thoughts and feelings. Asking about
the critical variables and the resources that make it so or that would
change it.
3 Many Questions that Explore Coachee's Internal World
Increase questioning and exploring of the coachee's state of mind,
mental maps of the world, and frames about beliefs and values.
Asking about how an experience works, the variables that operate
within it, how coachee perceives things.
2 Minimal Questioning About Coachee's Internal World
Lots of questions that show interest in a coachee's situation, contexts,
and behaviors, but few if any about the coachee's inner world of
thinking and mapping.
