1 Questioning Primary State
Basic questions about a coachee's current situation and beliefs, few to
no questions about frames of mind, internal thinking, or mental
mapping that creates current situation and responses.
0 No Exploration or Questioning
Failure to ask questions, or to explore the coachee's current thinking
or frames of mind, no inquiry into belief or value frames, no sense of
wonder or curiosity about the coachee's current frames of mind or
beliefs.

4) Provoking
To strongly, surprisingly elicit a response to action that
triggers a sense of threshold in the person and gets an
action to do something about one's awareness of the need
for change. To incite, call forth, evoke, arouse, annoy, stir
up.
5 Coachee Makes a Decision and Takes Action
Intensity of questioning increases as coachee is called upon to act
immediately, respectfully doubting whether the person has the guts,
balls, or courage to take action. Coachee responds with immediate
decision to take action.
4 Playfully Calling for Decision and Action
Questions and statements with a tone of teasing, playing, nudging,
mimicking ideas and concepts that create problems for the coachee,
even mocking and playfully insulting that encourage the coachee to
make a decision and take action.
3 Questions that Induce Discomfort
Questions and statements that invite discomfort, irritation, pained
awareness and that call for action and that doesn't stop even when the
coachee manifests a negative state. Mimicking physical gestures and
tones with little effect on the coachee taking action.
